Helpful Links & Threads STOP HERE FIRST -Sticky!

[LtDiablo]

Welcome to the Warden Forum.
Here in the Warden forum we enjoy civil chatting and frown upon trolls. If you come here with a legitimate question or seek info a great deal of it is housed below in compilation of links.

A heads up to the forum noob, if your thread contains one of the following it has been Wardenized: derailed by page 2, contains cookys, mass quote, or other random forms of derailment. We call these Wadenisms, deal with it. (Missing R is intentional)

Below are some examples of epic fail/derailment threads. You were forewarned.
Completely Random Crazyness
Cooky Reference
"Turbine ripped out our Warden Hearts"; reference.

Send me a PM if you have any threads you would like added to the list.
Below I will try to edit this post with any big threads or links to any major posts of interest.

Keep this at the top til we get a sticky please.

[LtDiablo]

Thank you I'll try to keep it updated with any new unanswered threads since theres a lot I still havent shifted through farther back in the pages.

It was your idea to separate the two threads

[Z3r0mus]

edit-> I fixed the links

[dbrowdy]

It was your idea to separate the two threads

Yeah but I was too lazy to do it. Kudos for not being as lazy as me.

*COUGHbumpCOUGH*

[dbrowdy]

Is there a link up that that discusses which traits are the best for which thingy? I know we've covered it a few times...

EDIT - Here's a good one! http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?t=237156

For some reason the links above for my comparison sheets doesn't work, here is a link that does with the added info

This is an updated sheet with the added comparisons of the AoE's. Be aware the damage listed will be spread out over many targets roughly equal to what's listed on the line with 1 target. So if for instance War-Cry says 787 for the 10(10) line then each of the 10 targets will receive about 85 damage which is listed under the DoT on line 10(1).

To explain the colors for the AoE lines, Orange indicates the single target max for each category (Direct Damage, Overall Damage, etc). Green indicates that it's less than the single target while red indicates it's higher than the single target. For example looking at total healing we see that for single target Restoration comes out on top with 333, Resolution doesn't beat that until 2 targets are in range with 358.6.

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?k...3KZcIJqeA4uhKA

So the following conclusions can be made

Direct Damage
If below 50% Morale Dark Before the Dawn
+50% Morale Warden's Triumph
with 3+ targets Resolution comes out ahead but spread over multiple targets

Overall Damage
Mighty Blow for single target
Goad needs 6 targets
Fierce Resolve needs 5+ targets
Resolution needs 4+ targets
Exultation needs 2+ targets
Desolation needs 2+ targets

Healing
Restoration for single target
Fierce Resolve needs 3+ targets
Resolution needs 2+ targets
Exultation of Battle needs 2+ targets

Damage/Power ratio
Mighty Blow single target
Goad needs 5+ targets
War-Cry needs 8+ targets
Fierce Resolve needs 5+ targets
Resolution needs 5+ targets
Exultation of Battle needs 3+ targets
Desolation needs 2+ targets

Heal/Power ratio
Persevere for single target
Fierce Resolve needs 3+ targets
Resolution needs 3+ targets
Exultation of Battle needs 2+ targets

Best damage and power
1 target Mighty Blow
2-3 targets Desolation
4+ Exultaion of Battle

Best heal and power
1 target Resoration
2+ Exultation of Battle but that is pure HoT, if you need the morale NOW I'd go with Resolution especially with 3+ targets.

For some reason the links above for my comparison sheets doesn't work, here is a link that does with the added info

Didn't check your sheet yet, but from looking at your conclusions, I'd wager you left out Javelin of Deadly Force. It's one of our most damaging AOE skills and it's by far our most power efficient AOE. I'd recommend running the numbers and seeing if your numbers agree with mine.

Wasn't comparing SKILLS, but GAMBITS. And I have to say the original sheet and comparison wasn't done by me but by StrikeFear, I simply expanded upon it.

I don't know how useful this will be, but back in the day the Guardian forum had a thread proving that BPE was additive:

http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?t=104472

It'd be interesting to try something similar now with partial mitigation factored in. I might see about trying something in Excel with a few combat logs later on this week to get some data to start us off.

[hardsell]

I forgot this site compresses links so when I copied and pasted my info from another thread they wouldnt work, but have edited and checked each link, they are working now

[StrikeFear]

I agree, I'd really like to see this stickied.

Well...Since this thread isn't stickied, we have to keep bumping it to the top. If we keep it in the first few threads, its kinda like a sticky, but not really.


so....Ghetto Sticky

I was looking for a thread like this for Wardens...thanks.

Can we get this stickied?

Re-Added BurgZergs list under Gambit Lists and Comparisons

[Bytor2007]

I was recently annoyed that we don't have anything "stickied" yet for Wardens. I mean c'mon, the RK's already have a couple. I was looking for one uber-resource like this and had trouble locating.

So...pardon my ignorance but how do we "make it so". Seems like I have seen dialog before on obtaining stickyhood. I never learned it because what I needed was already in that elite club. I'll vote, bribe the commish, call my local senator...whatever! Just tell me.

[LtDiablo]

Your guess is as good as mine
