Doesn't seem to. AI seems intelligent enough not to use it when amongst the bad guys. Could try swapping it for ribbon, but the general idea was big heavy healing hammers, with lots of energy coming in to fuel the health pumps. WoH for the direct healing, Breeze to counter degen, and Area for mass healing. Then again, I've also debated seeing if Livia would drop Dwayna's sorrow on the minions...

With Dwayna's Sorrow, I would worry about slowing both Olias and Livia. Olias pokes around trying to keep Death Nova up, but I guess if you are already waiting for him, you just as well wait for Livia.

Any tips for the Warden's of Earth? I have made it through two of the areas where they are present, but they are a real pain. With two of them, I pain invert one, and daze the other, but PI does not generally result in enough damage to take the first one out. Kyril Oathwarden's group had three, and it was not fun at all. Made it through, but it was not pretty. I have the Arborstone explorable left, as the only remaining explorable with these guys. I have found that spreading out the heroes works for most AoE situations, but it seems to be less effective against these guys. I have tried Ward of Elements, but that pretty well requires that the party needs to be in a nice little bunch. The best I have found so far, is a Tee formation, with the henchies in the middle, hero healer behind them, and a hero damage dealer on each side of the henchies.

My tactic with them was to draw out the Churning Earth before pulling them back to the party. PI is best used with a minion army. The minions run up to them and the Warden happily uses Shockwave. Use a minion bomber and watch the spike mayhem :twisted: Another option is to outfit your heroes with Mantra of Earth. My worst experience with the wardens is Splinter weapon flying around. Before the nerf, I had to watch carefully who had it on them or my entire party would be wiped by two warriors.

Drawing the churning earth out of them has helped, but I still do not like the Warden groups. The Wardens of summer and spirit can make things take a great deal of time. I find that I have to tank, to some degree, and wait for someone to run out of energy. I think I will look at some energy denial to try and speed things up a bit. I was disheartened to see that the wiki page on earth wardens does not list all of the areas they are present. Still 2 or 3 left where they are present. There are not as many of them in the same group though. Before the splinter weapon nerf, I may have actually equipped the skill.
