Time isn't a linear thing; it only appears to be. In truth it's a fabric, the very fabric that holds the universe together.

As with all great powers, there are those who seek to manipulate it and pervert it, but there are also those who seek to uphold rather than destroy.

Those who have learned to bend, rather than break, the fabric can keep the balance against dark or power-hungry forces.

You have been taught the ways of chronomancy by a Temporal Warden and can now create new characters with the Temporal Warden class.

Temporal Wardens are warriors proficient in both ranged and hand-to-hand combat. Class features:
 +
*Dual-wield a medium sized and a small weapon or attack from afar with your ranged weapon skills
 +
*Manipulate space and time to speed yourself up, create wormholes, or even throw an opponent into the future
 +
*See into the future or even travel into the past

===Overview===
 
−
 
−
The Temporal Warden is a hybrid character with both melee and ranged attacks, and augmented by a range of primarily support spells. It uses the [[Paradox]] resource to fuel its spells, and will consequently be considered hostile by [[Zigur]]. The class is unlocked by completing the [[Temporal Rift]] in [[Daikara]].
 
−
 
−
Temporal Wardens start out with a long sword and dagger in one set, and a bow and quiver in the other. The [[Celerity (talent)|Celerity]] skill allows them to switch between primary and secondary weapon sets instantaneously. This means the Temporal Warden can dish out ranged damage, then switch to melee weapons when monsters are adjacent without penalty. Talents for improving both ranged and melee (dual-weapon) combat are available.
 
−
 
−
As with the [[Shadowblade]], one of the biggest challenges confronting this class is the sheer number of options available. The Temporal Warden benefits directly from investment in 5 out of the 6 stats (everything except [[Cunning]]), and has a large number of diverse talents. This allows players to choose a balanced hybrid approach, or to specialize in either ranged combat or dual-weapon combat. The Paradox/Magic talents serve as support for either style.
 
−
 
−
===Hybrid style===
 
−
In the early game, focus on [[Dexterity]]. This supports damage for both the longbow and the dagger, as well as giving you a boost to combat accuracy and defense. [[Strength]] is less important early on, as you have [[Strength of purpose (talent)|Strength of Purpose]] to tie you over until later levels.
 
−
 
−
Spread talent points around [[Bow mastery (talent)|Bow Mastery]], [[Weapons mastery (talent)|Weapons Mastery]] and [[Dagger mastery (talent)|Dagger Mastery]] to avoid penalties from diminishing return. Additional talent points should go to Bow Mastery first to improve your reload rate however. Dual wielding a sword/mace/axe in the main hand and a dagger in the off-hand gives you a large variety of weapon choices. This also allows you to save talent points on Dagger Mastery. Off-hand weapons are heavily penalized in terms of damage anyway, and the cost in category and talent points for overcoming that penalty is quite high for the Temporal Warden. The [[Dual weapons (category)|Dual Weapons]] tree is much weaker than [[Archery prowess (category)|Archery Prowess]], so you can skip it completely and just use off-hand daggers to apply on-hit effects.
 
−
 
−
The Temporal Warden has unparalleled mobility options, with [[Dimensional step (talent)|Dimensional Step]] being its staple talent. [[Temporal wake (talent)|Temporal Wake]], [[Swap (talent)|Swap]], [[Banish (talent)|Banish]] and [[Wormhole (talent)|Wormhole]] give you even more options to control battlefield positioning. Wormholes can even be used to escape from areas that otherwise prohibit teleportation. Remember to max out [[Spacetime mastery (talent)|Spacetime Mastery]] to reduce the cooldown of these talents.
 
−
 
−
===Important Notes===
 
−
* Version 1.0.0: Precognition is a bit buggy around the "return to regular timeline upon death" aspect, with some instances working properly and others giving the standard death procedure. If you Precog into a life-threatening situation, canceling the spell early (right-click its status icon) before dying can help avoid nasty surprises.
 
−
* Version 1.0.0: [[Antimagic|Anti-Magicians]] can nullify the Precognition status despite it being listed as an "other:time" status and not specifically "magical." Regardless, if you spot an anti-magician while Precog scouting, you may want to consider canceling the ability early.
 
−
* Version 1.2.3: [[Precognition (talent)|Precognition]] is useful for scouting out areas that normally prohibit tracking, telepathy, or other means of remote scouting, but it can sometimes cause the game to forget that you have visited a level, causing the level to be regenerated upon your next visit. This seems to happen most frequently in [[Dreadfell]], and can be both a blessing (more loot and experience) and a curse (repeating levels is time consuming).

Temporal Warden is a class introduced in the base game. It must be unlocked by completing the quest "Back and Back and Back To The Future", which begins when you enter the Temporal Rift on the 3rd level of Daikara.

Locked Description

We preserve the past to protect the future.

The hands of time are guarded by the arms of war.

Description

Their lifelines braided, Temporal Wardens have learned to work with their other selves across multiple timelines.

Through their study of chronomancy, they learn to blend archery and dual-weapon fighting, seamlessly switching from one to the other.

Their most important stats are: Magic, Dexterity, and Willpower

New Class Unlocked Description

Time isn't a linear thing; it only appears to be. In truth it's a fabric, the very fabric that holds the universe together.

As with all great powers, there are those who seek to manipulate it and pervert it, but there are also those who seek to uphold rather than destroy.

Those who have learned to bend, rather than break, the fabric can keep the balance against dark or power-hungry forces.

You have been taught the ways of chronomancy by a Temporal Warden and can now create new characters with the Temporal Warden class.

Temporal Wardens are warriors proficient in both ranged and hand-to-hand combat. Class features:

  • Dual-wield a medium sized and a small weapon or attack from afar with your ranged weapon skills
  • Manipulate space and time to speed yourself up, create wormholes, or even throw an opponent into the future
  • See into the future or even travel into the past

Temporal Wardens use Paradox for their powers. It represents how much damage they've done to the spacetime continuum.

The higher their paradox the greater the effect of their powers but the harder they'll be to control.

  • Quiver of Elm Arrows
