So Orion.. Wardens?

[qannadi]

Orion has started previewing the updates to the Champion class.. and I would REALLY love to hear the same sort of initial "here's what we're thinking and our philosophy" for Wa(r)den updates. Please Orion? With cookys?

agreed, I'm hoping for something similar for our stances that will help whatever they decide are our actual roles. Primary is tanking, but secondary is what? Especially when you look at some of our armor set bonus rewards it can be a tad confusing.

Warden's are being removed from the game with Isengard.


Seriously though I'm looking forward to it as well, and all the other classes.

WTB:

-New, decent shield, preferably instance drop
-Better yellow line
-More definition on specific roles
-Less useless legacies

Even the hunters are getting a third update before we get one.

Seems the wardens and guards in LoTRO are the last to get picked again. /sigh

quick! flood Turbine headquarters with cookies for Orion!

on a more serious note though, I have confidence in Orion, so far things that I know he's been in charge of have turned out nicely, I'm happy Orion is handling Wardens, unlike that shifty Graalx ;-)

Maybe our updates are so stupendously large that they've been working on them for YEARS and are expecting to finish just in time for Isengard (yeah right). However, part of me thinks that they have to do them last for threat balancing issues, which means that as long as other classes are getting updates, we are constantly out of sync, and will play catch-up at the end of each and every long, long cycle (which totally sucks).

It's also possible that balancing threat is very tedious, and the devs just procrastinate, I guess.

That link is dead. Still, if this is true, *sigh*. I guess DPS and support classes are easy, and tanks are hard? It shouldn't be that hard to balance. Make us hard to get rid of and annoying. If you need a model, just look at any of the complaint threads on these boards.
