Help with a Warden Tank/Caster Build please

[system]

I’d like to try a tank caster, but I’m not always sure how it works.

Do I absolutely need spirit?

I wanted to go tanky stuff from the warrior tree, but use the main coreset of savagery, vines, swarm, etc to be the main attacks.

Is this viable, or does the bleed damage from vines and swarm not increase solely with cunning?

Hi mate:

Attempts to answer you questions:

1. No, you could always investment your points in psychics…
2. Warder with bleeding orientation, IIRC was op in 1.004 with high weapon damage of BA. not quite sure with Vines and swarm but my guess there are supporting skills. e.g. swarm has - % bleeding res.

Not quite sure for others but I have not seen a bleeding Warder caster so far, GL with your BD building!

Cheers,
Reyes
