I feel there are not many Polearms-based classes in MMO in general on top of that, having a true hybrid, that can switch between melee and Range, especially javelins which once again, is something you don't see very often. Warden is top class there, with Deadeye Thief from GW2 for me :D
Love my warden, i took almost every class to level 25 only to decide i will continue my warden as my main, love the diversity and aesthetics. we are the first line of defense against the taming darkness of Mordor.
I've been playng the class almost exclusively since early 2011. Once you learn the gambit system you can't go back to traditional cooldowns. And remember having to trait for your masteries? It felt like unlocking expert mode. Definitely the most unique class I've ever played
Hello :) Im now in the 13th year of Lotro. I loved to play the warden. After summer break ill start my warden again. I just wanna say ThankYou for ur Videos! Big help!
I’m a returning player that was there when Rohan first dropped. Never got into the warden myself because I thought it would be a bit complicated. May give it a try later on after my burglar!
I've been playing LOTRO for 9 years, but until now only as a Hunter, Champ and Burglar. I recently decided to start a new toon, and chose a Dwarf Warden (red line). I've only taken it to level 37 so far, but I am enjoying it. It certainly keeps your mind engaged! The one thing that helps with the Gambits is that they introduce them one or two at a time as you level up, so you're not overwhelmed. I've also installed the WardenEase plug-in to help me learn them (as well as having a cheat sheet handy.) It's interesting that Surety of Death seems to be your go-to attack, judging by the gameplay in the video.
For a Solo play, Warden is S-Tier easy, you can Swift Travel almost like hunter, do enough damage to kill 4+ enemy at once, while in 1v1 you destroy the enemy with dots while you keep getting stronger and healthy. Also you're THE spear class, The lotro version of Lu Bu or Brad Pitt Aquilles Since last rework , I'm enjoying going Blue with sprinkles of yellow than full red line.
Mae govannen mellon nin! I never comment on YT, but i just wanted to say you are my go-to guy for Warden advice. Keep up the great videos! When i logged in after a looong time away, I could only think: "Help me Louey7, you are my only hope!"
Not playing for long and can't really decide on a class.. Besides RM, burglar and brawler got all and around 20. Wasn't playing for some time and now started again with warden and first time landscape difficulty (first fearless), lvl 18 and loving it so far. I'm making it a challenge to get all available dots I got so far, on an enemy before he dies xD all those dots, hots, and buffs (not really using red starting ones because they dead before) make him really fun to play. Hope I can keep up when it's more then 3x combo
I enjoyed your video, but I noticed there might be some room for improvement in your audio quality. The microphone sensitivity seems a bit high, which can lead to background noise, making it slightly distracting for viewers. If you're using OBS, you can enhance your audio by adjusting a few settings. Consider implementing a Noise Gate, Compressor, Limiter, and Gain filters. These adjustments can help remove unwanted background noise and ensure your voice maintains a consistent volume. A good target range for your audio levels is typically between -18dB and -9dB on the mix.
I actually aleady have all that stuff plus some EQs set up (mic is in that range as well)! With my new setup, though, I'm planning to take another pass at audio settings -- thanks for point this out!
Wait at 1:42 how did you manage to have shield on your back and when you engaged in combat he puts it in hand? On my Warden he never puts in on back out of combat but always holds it in hand.
i just started playing. i picked hobbit warden because i thought it sounded interesting. i havent had this much fun since i first played gta 5 years and years ago.
I used to main warden back when it got added in MoM, and I really enjoyed the animations, effects, executing abilities felt satisfying, but then I dropped lotro for a few years, and when I came back after numerous combat changes, I just couldn't play it again, cuz it didn't feel the same. Idk how to explain it, but it feels more clunky, sped-up, animations are cutting off, ranged gambits had melee animations, etc, it just genuinely made me not wanna play the class. But tbh, that goes for lotro in general. I'm playing an original SoA classic server now, and god, the game just feels so much better, even if it's slower.

It would be very cool if you make a video about your gambits you use so we can learn about it. Thanks as always for the brilliant work ❤
Might try warden after hunter leveling for first time

Agreed. Warden was so well designed. Great memories.

I recently got my warden up to 140 but somehow I have difficulty with some content. Could you do a new guide for the warden? (Traits, LIs and virtues)
This would be awesome! I have a 98 Warden but I really need a video explaining the new stuff

Funny as the Warden is the class I dislike the most by far ... but I can see its appeal to people who do enjoy it. :)

Yo would love a "would tolkien approve of lotro" vid
Warden for life!
Best class to play, a lot of strategy e fun play!
Thx Louey7 for your content!

Great video 👍
Mariner coming to take the warden’s lunch soon 😂
H8 warden. Gambits and Combos are the devil (as well as listening to annoying shouts). I do like the theme though.

So what is best race for Warden? More so for tanking ? What specific buffs does tank give to the group?
racial bonuses or penalties are not important at high level... choose what you want the most.
is there dps meter in LOTRO ?
the Lawnmower ;)
Best warden race?
warden is good if you play regularly...memorizing the gambits is a pain if you don't
"...relatively complex class ..." 🙂
Ah the Warden, great class. Can punch the keyboard and heal for 2mil and kill everything in a 3 mile radius it’s a wonder anyone likes it.
