Slash

The Warden, though distasteful of the act, slashes their enemy with their axe doing a moderate amount of injury.

Energy Gain: 20
Damage: 60
Range: 4M
Effect: Applies a 6% outgoing damage/healing reduction for 5 sec. This can never take you to 0 damage/healing because its always takes away 6% of whats left out of your damage multiplier.

Vengeance

The Warden is granted a stack of Vengeance for each enemy hit within melee range. These stacks grant 5% increased damage, and are used for Protect Allies and Raise Morale to increase their effectiveness. Stacks last for 30 seconds, maximum of 30 stacks.

Protect Allies

The Warden raises their shield in honor of the gods, granting them and their allies protection and increased health, causing each to take very little damage for a period of time. The more stacks of Vengeance the Warden has during the buff duration, the more potent the effects.
