Ninim's New Little Warden Guide [updated 6/20/2011]

Thanks for this information but I have another Question. I tried your 2- hander build and i noticed that the dmg is a little bit higher than the dmg with the Caster / Pet build. If I am able to keep up my mana for 3-4 mins, it will be the better option for A2 or DC. What do you say ninim? Atm I have the Casterbuild and I have with lvl 45 and lvl 4 runes
30-35k Dps on A2 Bosses. All the wardens here say that they do 60-100k DPS... You do 60-65k. How i can increase my DPS to 40-45k without buying lvl 7 Runes or what ever?

Gear, build, stat balance, knowing your optimal DPS chain and executing it perfectly.

There's no shortcut, it all boils down to experience. And gear.

Oh, also - I do 60-65k on GT bosses...that's quite different from doing 60k on l2 bosses ^^;

Ninim one other question. Do you have skilled Tornado atm ? I read at your guide that this skill does a lot of dmg if you have 6 stacks. I think it is great because if your pet ist out of energy, you can stack vortex and then do a Tornado. But I dont have tested
Tornado.. Can you tell me about your experience?

If u are going for searing pain then u need Channeld Lighting rubys for faster vortex cast or lighting spam.

I'm not Ninim, but I'm rolling a caster/pet-ish build. I usually send my pet away at 70% energy (I have no Ethereal Calm rubies) and cast 3/4 vortexes (depending on how fast the mob is and what level it is) and then tornado on the mob. This doesn't always kill them, but it usually gets them low enough that another lightning strike can take it out. And by the end of it, my pet is usually at 100% again. (This kind of logic might be a bit flawed for Kanians.)

Prior to figuring this out, I had tornado and never used it. Now I use it all the time. I might note, also, that this about the only way I use Tornado, so there might be better uses of it. And it seems quite likely that taking two rubies of Ethereal Calm over the Tornado rubies (and the rubies to get to it) would be more useful. I haven't used my FoD yet, though, so I haven't tried ethereal calm. I'm afraid I'll spoil myself with ethereal calm.

Tornado is crap, pure and simple. You can get much better dps from other sources. You'd do more dmg just spamming Vortex/LS than building up 5 stacks then hitting tornado and praying you don't get interrupted.

Not gonna comment on tornado buut,

Just get the ethereal calm rubies, you'll love them. They are the greatest thing ever!
And since I guess you're not a kanian warden, you will love them even more
