Warden
Weakens his enemies and chases them down

Warden leads from the front, jumping into the fray and hindering his opponents' ability to fight effectively. But what Warden considers brave, others consider reckless, and if he's not careful he can easily find himself in over his head.

Description

Streamlined easier version to follow of my spirit warden build. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED ARCANE SURGE IS BUGGED SO IT IS NO LONGER ON THIS BUILD https://twitch.tv/shelduntv

Buy once 2 AP points in flask to proc, makes your flask a mini nuke. Sell this first the moment you require space for anything else.

Pop then immediately use ultimate. This makes you really strong and you can very heavily pressure guardians. Try to hold onto this for as long as possible.

item
Active
Slowing Hex
1750

Good for caging people and keeping them in range of your ultimate when you jump them

item
Extra Stamina
500

This OR sprint boots, personal choice. You can upgrade sprint boots later to enduring speed if necessary. Sellable for space if you don't plan on upgrading.

You usually take a lot of damage and heal it back so berserker synergises well with ult build

If you prefer this over slowing hex or think this would be more valuable in your current match

Majestic Leap
3000

Core part of this build, leap and charge up your ultimate on players, good engagement tool + map rotation

1250

Very good spirit power for the price and it's a green, however you can sell very late in the game for other items or armors if needed

item
Mystic Vulnerability
1250

If you still have infuser at this point, it would be ok to sell it in favour of this or any other items past this point

Mid Extras

Lots of slows preventing you from traversing in your ult and you purchased sprint boots earlier

Spirit Armor
1250

Heavy spirit comp on enemy team

Lots of CC/DoT but mostly infernus/pocket/shiv knife build

Best against gun characters, reflects their damage back, if you still have infuser and use both you heal partial spirit damage via deflection. Very good with leech.

item

Can be a good option if there's lots of antiheal hindering you. Makes your lifesteal on heroes the old 100%

item
Fortitude
3500
Late

Try to pick up refresher first if you can. If slot starved, go for upgrades first

item
Active
Refresher
6000

Try to time this with when your ult is about to finish, you are practically impossible to kill with 80% resists and with your ult still active and life stealing

Superior Cooldown
4250

Imbue Last Stand (4)

item
Diviner's Kevlar

True ult bot mode with the stats and added DPS.

7250

So much survivability added with leech, makes you extremely difficult to kill. Feel free to get return fire as well if required

sell hpw if you still have it at this point for this

If there is a severe amount of ability spam that is bursting you down while you are ulting, you need to purchase this to still do damage and heal back.
