Stamina and Magicka Warden look pretty much the same these days. Not everyone is happy about that, but it's wrong to say that build diversity is totally dead. Hybridisation means that Magicka and Stamina DOTs are basically interchangeable, and we can even switch between morphs with little or no DPS penalty, so we can always give ourselves the most effective and reliable setup for specific content.

SUSTAIN

Warden is very resource hungry. When practising on the dummy with this setup, casting Netch once as a prebuff should be just about enough. If the fight lasts a bit longer, or if you're doing content where you need to dodge/block quite a bit, you may need to cast Netch more often. But try to anticipate this and limit Netch recasts to earlier parts of the fight - the longer the fight continues after Bloodthirsty kicks in at 90%, the more DPS you lose from a wasted GCD. So don't use it unnecessarily.

Swapping Deadly Cloak for another Magicka DOT and switching to Blue Betty is a good idea, but you'll need to cast Netch more often to sustain this, and Deadly Cloak is so awesome it'd be a shame to lose it. Using Bahsei is also a good choice, especially if you want to push for a bit more damage and don't mind introducing more complications with the Magicka management minigame (see this great video by Charles: https://youtu.be/h5uQGmdkyWI).

Magicka sustain is also close to the knife edge with this setup. In content you may be able to substitute Degeneration for Mystic Orb, but I was unable to make this work on the dummy. Scalding Rune is cheaper and longer-lasting than Orb, and is a great choice if you need more cleave but cannot sustain Orb in content.

ROTATION

See the mini-guide linked above. You can easily make it more static (recasting Guardian and Carve every 24s) or more dynamic (trying to recast Stampede, Cloak and Fetcher on cooldown) if you want. Whatever gets you the best results or whatever you find most enjoyable.

The fact that we can get 127k DPS with a static rotation that is super reliable and pretty easy is just crazy.

Enjoy!
