Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Wardens, being the only real “pet class” in Runes of Magic, have a distinct advantage over their counter parts as they can add extra damage with their pet or stay the enemy for a short period of time.  It is important to point out this appears to be a VERY short time as the health pool of the pet is very small (perhaps some sunscreen would help?)  As you level some of your skills, both regular and elite, are pet only skills.  This information is very useful since I know of one player who was spamming a skill trying to figure out why it would not work. Okay it was me, happy?

Wardens are unique in both lore and game play to all of the other classes.  They are set apart in lore as the great defenders of the Elven race.  Because of this it sets them up for a one of a kind game play that allows them to wield more weapons than anybody else in the game giving them versatility in customization that is lacking with some classes.

While the Warden class can dish out fair helpings of face melting fun you can also find yourself as a secondary healer.  Rarely or really if your group is desperate will you ever find yourself as the primary healer but I guess anything can happen right? 

-Notes-

• Choose wisely – matching energy pools can be a very bad thing
• Research – even though Runes is a fairly young game there is enough info out there to make an informed decision
• Always wear sunscreen
• Pick two classes that suit you – if you don’t choose for you then you will not play the toon in the long run
• Remember the class is for you so while it may not be optimal all dual class choices have their advantages in group play
• The “class specific” abilities are not accessible from your secondary class.
• You only gain a 10% buff from the base stats of your secondary class

-Final Thoughts-

Disappointment… I could just stop there. There is so much that could be done with the dual class options of the druid that seem to be lacking to me. Now granted I am not a hardcore Druid player but where is the pet? I know the druid is the only “pet” class available in Runes but there should be a way to enhance the pet just a little bit. The official forums are alive with how many ways your pet is NOT used in end game content. WHAT? The Druid looks to have some interesting options and could only be made more interesting by giving the pet a purpose if you ask me. So play the Druid if you like but, from what I can tell you should be prepared to not use your pet much past the mid game experience for more than just a novelty.
