Building up a raid Warden, need y'alls help

[Dillin]

<div>My guild is starting to get into raiding and we have a Warden with completely sub-par equipment and spells (Some App1s, App4, Ad1s, and no Ad3s).  Since the guild will be financing her upgrades, what should spells are the most useful in a raid situation to get upgraded?  She's currently lvl 55.</div><div> </div><div>As a Templar, I already know what gear to get her but I have no idea what Warden spells do.  I've tried reading what they do, but I don't know how they pan out in a raid.</div>

<div>Hey,</div><div> </div><div>Depends where you want the warden placed. I take you'll put him/her in the Main tank group since that's the spot warden is top.</div><div>Spells you want to upgrade and that will benefit the raid the most are:</div><div>Protection of the Oak</div><div>Essence of the Great Bear</div><div>Benediction of the Wild</div><div>Exhalation of the Untamed</div><div>Sandstorm</div><div>Regenerative Spores</div><div>Sylvan Streams</div><div>Greater Chloroplast</div><div>Fierce Chlorostorm</div><div>Wave of Healing</div><div>Glacial Cold</div><div> </div><div>There are a couple other usefull buffs but they are minor benefits. The spells above are a must.</div><div>A full spell list can be found on this link: <a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=16&message.id=14443#M14443" target="_blank">http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=16&message.id=14443#M14443</a></div><div>Cheers and send me a tell anytime when you or your Warden got any questions. /tell Splitpaw.Lipi</div>

<div>If your in the MT you should probably get some resist gear also, its nice if you have at least 5k in each area, which isn't hard with t7 gear, you can get a good basic set from farming the T7 instances.</div><div> </div><div>I would probably add primitive instinct to that list of spells (in addition to the ones in the previous post) you want to upgrade, from someone who has tanked raids in the past I will say that buff line does a lot of good when your in defensive stance and tanking high yellow/orange encounters.</div>

And if im not in the MT group i'll throw it on a ranger or assassin and it bumps em up a couple spots on the parser. So either way its worth it.
