Introduction

Since the Warden is a new Class for Moria, the Warden’s development for levels 50-60 is much more of a smooth continuation. All of the new Moria game features were already mostly designed before Warden development even began. So while the class benefitted from co-development with Moria, the drawback has been the less feedback than the live classes have had to guide the development of the class up to level 60. It might be a good idea to read the Warden dev diary before looking through the rest of this article; there are some unique features of the Warden that I am not going to go into detail about here, but have spoken to in the dev diary.

Way of the Spear

The Trait Sets for the Warden parallel the three categories of Gambits. The Way of The Spear includes all of the class traits that improve Spear Gambits and Javelin skills. So traits like Mighty Throw, which increases all Javelin damage, and Efficient Thrust, which greatly reduces the power cost of Quick Thrust, are included here. Bonuses for this Trait Set give increased damage and reduced power costs across all Spear Gambits.

The new skill associated with this Trait Set is Warden’s Triumph. It is a 5 icon Spear gambit that does very high damage and gives a short term increase to all of the Warden’s melee damage. The legendary version of the skill increases its damage considerable and extends the duration of the damage buff.
