lvl 17 warden looking for AA advice

[IcemanLU606]

Hello all and thanks for looking. Before I start I am aware that most people are against level locking. I am a level locking warden that will be stopping at 17. I intend to have about 18 AA when i get there. I will be doing only PVP and will be duo'd with a lvl 17 ranger. I may go to lvl 18 to get the agility buff but not sure yet. Just wondering with only 18 AA what would be my best AA choice to maximize my experience with my ranger buddy. Please don't flame me about level locking. I was thinking root/snare and such. The ranger is specced to give me a 45% run speed, so i dont think spirit of the wolf will be needed. Thanks for the help.

<p>My locked 17 warden is going down the STA line. I really love debuffing in pvp.</p><p>Putting points into your roots is also a good idea - most people seem to have a lot of resists to them lately and, what with the hit and runners, root seems to be one of my main jobs lately.</p><p>I might also suggest putting points into INT, not the line, just the stat, to improve your spell damage.</p>

Thanks for the input. Right now I have 1 in the shape change and 4 in root. I was planning on doing snare also. Then I will look into doing stamina and the debuff. If i end up with 18 AA I should be able to get a couple in the debuff. Which do you think is better, getting snare or the debuff?

Take it for what its worth but if your locking there, and are running with a ranger or basically anyone, I highly recommend the movement line on the warden tree. End ability is Nature Walk it will take 19 achievement points. Group immunity to roots and reduce snare effects by 50% percent . You will have your root at 5 points , snare at 3 points, SOW at 45% and willow at rank 5. Your survivability for the entire group will be greatly increased and the Ranger will love you because if he gets rooted at all he will be dead! I speak from experience with two wardens with this end ability. You can basically pic your battles and everyone and their mother will ask you for SOW and expect it to be at 45%. I run a duo with a ranger and I basically just heal myself while people beat on me. The ranger just unleashes havoc . I also have a 19 ranger myself and the other part of this duo is also a warden. So I have seen it from both sides. When I run around alone on my ranger I get constantly rooted, snared and killed immediately. All classes who group with you will love the immunity to root!
