Need some help coming up with a spec for a Warden.

[Dulak]

There's so many skills in the defense tree that look good ... I'm going to have to narrow it down to fit the skills I need.

As far as I know you get 207 skill points total including the bonuses ...
if I get 32 for each mastery thats 64 total so that leaves me with 143 to play with.

In regards to the skills I need for the hunting tree
6 Wood lore
24 Art of the hunt, find cover and trail blazing
6 herbal medicine
1 gouge
9 study prey and flush out
6 volley
9 call of the hunt and exploit weekness
--------
61

6 armor handeling
18 pulverize/shield smash/disable
1 collossus
20 Batter/rend armor (my bread and butter)
13 battle awareness/focus/iron will ie 1/6/6
15 adrenaline/resilience/defensive reaction 1/6/8
19 rally/inspiration/defiance 1/6/12
19 shield charge/disruption
1 quick recovery
---------
112

112+61= 173 <<< 30 points too much ...\

so what do I drop?
do I take some out of the hunting tree? maybe study prey? ... or do I take out defiance down to 1?

what do you think ...

Slicing a little fat off here:

* Flush Out helps casters more than you. If you're using this as a solo character, ditch that.

* Call of the Hunt's five minute cooldown makes it junk if you don't have Nature's refresh skill. I'd pass on that. You're a slow tank anyway, it doesn't suit you.

* Trail Blazing. You don't need it. +Move speed is good if you need to kite or manuever. Tanks don't do this. You have a charge skill that can clear distances between you and a target. That is enough.

* 20 batter/rend armor AND shield charge/disruption AND the entire weapon pool of both trees? No. Just no. Ditch something in there.
