[PoE 3.25] Warden Looks Amazing - New Ascendancy Breakdown

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

I’m starting to suspect Palsteron does have a slogan

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

I am excited to start with this!

I have officially reached the -- Dog behind computer meme "I have no idea what im doing" Im hoping for a warden LS/LA build

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

Hell yeah man!

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

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

Bursty "cooldown" based damage is really good for crossing that threshold for killing dangerous ubers before they can phase or before you burn through your defensive flask durations. I really like this new ascendancy, even just for the flexibility of trying combinations of new tinctures + new enchants + new uniques without needing to reroll.

big thanks for showing how to update pob!

i've always been a totems heiro but now i kinda wannna expand to other builds. wanted to try this with frost blades but have no idea how this thing works

'Defiled Forces' node can easily sustain 50 shock, is it worth to anoint?
