Nature’s Bounty – ESO Pureclass Warden Tank Build with Infinite Brittle

Rotation/How to Play – Nature’s Bounty

Nature's Bounty is still a tank first and foremost. There is no complicated rotation to memorize, but there are a few rules that must be followed at all times if you want the build to perform properly.

Rule number one: Never drop your taunt. Taunt lasts 15 seconds and should always be slightly overlapped. If your taunt falls off, the boss goes looking for someone else, and that usually ends badly for them.

Rule number two: Manage your Magicka. While blocking with an Ice Staff your Magicka is constantly draining, so recovery is critical. Heavy attacks are still your primary source of sustain and should be used whenever mechanics allow.

However, one of the strongest tools available to this build is BashJUST once. Focus on bashing a target that is actively attacking you. Doing so can return up to 1605 Magicka every second while maintaining block, making sustain dramatically easier once you get used to it.

Maintain Blue Betty and Elemental Blockade at all times. They contribute to sustain, status application, debuffing, and overall control. If your group already has reliable area Major Breach coverage, you can safely drop Razor Caltrops. If not, keep it active.

Keep Budding Seeds underneath yourself and the group whenever possible. The recovery, healing, and Ultimate generation all add up over the course of a fight. Likewise, Enchanted Forest can be used frequently thanks to its Ultimate refund mechanic, but remember that every tree you cast is Ultimate that is not being saved for Aggressive Warhorn.

Gripping Shards should be used when enemies need to stay put. If targets are already immobilized through Chilled and other control effects, there is no need to repeatedly cast it. Let your durations run their course and avoid unnecessary spam.

In short:

• Maintain taunt at all times.
• Maintain Blue Betty.
• Maintain Elemental Blockade.
• Maintain Razor Caltrops if your group needs Major Breach.
• Bash a target that is attacking you for Magicka return.
• Use heavy attacks whenever opportunities present themselves.
• Keep Budding Seeds active for the group.
• Use Gripping Shards when enemies need immobilizing.
• Block, control, position, and manage resources.

At first glance it can seem like there are a lot of moving parts, but most players discover the opposite. Once you stop overcasting abilities, let durations run naturally, and get comfortable with sustain management, everything falls into place. The result is one of the strongest and most unique Warden tanks available.
