Warden doesn’t have a pendulum effect it’s more like elemental berserk

[TheBIindReaper]

one thing i'd like to point out regarding Avatar of the Wilds, which I'm not sure if Palsteron was including since he was talking doing it on different enemies and the time kinda happens to match for Single Target, but it states for *EACH* type of Ele Ailment. That means if you apply just Shock and Freeze, that would be considered 3 Unbound Fury per 0.2s per enemy since you can apply Shock, Chill and Freeze on every hit or 15 Unbound Fury per second which proc's Unbound Avatar within 7s if you were only hitting one enemy like a Boss in perfect case, much faster if you hit more enemies. This also means having even a random source of Fire Damage proc-ing Ignite would give you an additional Unbound Fury with minimal investment

[FightTheMoose]

I’m starting to suspect Palsteron does have a slogan

[ExiledVessel]

Level 18 tincture giving 17% attack speed as an affix is nuts. I think the tinctures will have some insane values if rolled well.

[jasonziegler]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! Great content

[KaelGotRice]

Ice crash or glacial hammer seems to have whole screen freezing capability on everything short of pinnacle bosses. In a way that may end up being our defense early on.

[Blezz]

What is the "pendulum" in avatar of the wilds? It is a straight up 10s mega buff whil on with nothing but getting the changes when it is off

[fatairborne]

The freeze stuff is such a nice defensive layer on top of it all. Gets often underestimated as it is not reflected in POB numbers

[kug]

Thanks for the checkbox in PoB to see the latest beta build. You learn something new each day!

[joeofthefallen]

The amount of investment that tinctures require before they start working well is so ludicrously high that you could triple the numbers on many of the displayed tinctures and not still not be worth it. I didn't use them much in Affliction when they were free to use and constant, much less now needing skillpoints and being temporary and nuking my mana rapidly.

Unless they've got some amazing tinctures hidden away I feel they've missed the mark there by a timezone.

[LordFryz]

I'm not seeing this in any videos, but is Galvanic Arrow something to look at for the effects of stacking the oaths? Seems like it would be a pretty good option.

[MatCauthn]

Great summary, I'm very interested in Warden but have doubts about defenses (especially after the FAQ update clarified it has no %inc armour but only 10% reservation) and tinctures look kinda meh so far. Maybe better as a second build when you can get some defenses from gear.

[alexrice]

Warden feels like a great frost blade ascendancy. Frost blades with block and freeze sounds like good defenses

[KamiSlayer]

Ice crash warden. Idk how but I need a build guide for this. lol thx

[tindekappa]

To get 100% more damage from shock you need to hit 50 times first. These 50 hits obviously don't do 50% more damage, they do 50% more damage on average.
The question is how many hits do you get off afterwards that until the boss either dies or changes phases? 10? 100?
Maybe your shocks only get to like 80% more damage before they drop off, then it's just 40% more damage on average.
It's still really good, it's just that there's gonna be hundreds of pobs floating around which have it set at 100% more damage. So don't get scammed by pob inflators.
Unless y'know first hitting the boss 50 times with your basic attacks presumably then actually starting fighting it is the way you would normally play the game.

[michaelscott]

I really think as it stands even without the taming interaction the move is going to be take the four elemental nodes and F/F gathering winds or +2 projectiles if you can use it

[bbderbaumeistr]

concerning the missing defense of warden:
high damage + the potential to perma freeze multiple screens even on mid dmg are good defenses on their own in my opinion

[timuking]

Also wanted to chil in that life gain on hit via claws (which frost blades/ LS can both use) isn't a horrible defensive layer. I played Kobe's venom gyre Deadeye a while ago and life gain on hit with enough proj is quite potent.

[lish]

idk if I miss anything. but in oprder to profit from all free ailment nodes, you need to do all elemental damage types in a decent ammount, which requiers some pretty decent tri-elemental claw and it must be see if this is sufficient. In endgame this should work at least outside ubers. but in the beginning it has to be seen how much damage you need to aplly all your ailments to the full extent
