Another Warden question

Fladrif · #1 Nov 28 2009, 04:23 PM

I always trait for Way of the shield - The heals are just to awsome.

So that leaves me with 2 open traits and for the longest time they have been filled with The SPear and Fist mastery (the shield one is included in teh 5 for way of the shield)

My question is Do other wardensfind Having all 3 masteries a must?

I def use them A lot - but i was thinking droping the spear for another fist and therefore +10% aggro

I do too. I frequently consider loading that 2nd Fist trait for the reduced resistance to Fist gambits, but I would feel too gimped from missing one of the masteries. I don't have any issue gaining or keeping aggro as it is, and removing a mastery would probably be counterproductive - it would take longer to fire one of my threat / defensive / HoT gambits which are essential in normal tanking duties. So I usually end my mental struggle by sticking with five Shield and Fist/Spear masteries if tanking (plus Shield capstone), or 5 spear and Shield/Fist masteries (with Spear capstone) if soloing or otherwise looking for DPS.

I don't generally slot the fist mastery. Usually when I'm slotted shield my last two spots are master of the spear and efficient thrust (-40% quick thrust power cost).

Perhaps for solo, but for tanking work, you can't get off masteried: EoB, Conviction, or War-Cry without Fist mastery.
