    I imported your AC lightsmith build last night and before that I really was never a fan of it. Two extra buttons and at least two more buffs and look out for. But hot damn the hps was insane, nearly doubling my solar throughput and my team's hp never was in actual danger. Even when I was just testing and made lots of rotational mistakes, like forgetting to mix in spenders in between CS during AC, I still felt like I was as OP as Resto Sharman. xDD

      I play herald and lightsmith depending on the key. I’ve been going LS for mists/nw/siege and Herald for all other keys at really high key levels.

    • @EllesmereGaming
      @EllesmereGaming  Місяць тому

      A lot of players don’t enjoy because it removes all target selection requirements from healers and makes it really brainless. That can be fun for some but for many healers, myself included, the most fun part of healing is target selection and spell priorities. If I wanted to just have a set rotation, ignore party frames and turn my brain off I’d play a dps, so to me AC isn’t super fun. That being said ofc I understand that’s only one viewpoint and there are many who absolutely love this playstyle. That’s why I advocate for both builds being balanced well so they can both be viable options

      I believe this build is pretty unhealthy due to how strong hammer and anvil is, and how broken the interactions with Tempered in Battle are. IMO they should fix that, then buff regular Wings so herald can compete again. Both builds being strong is the best outcome of tuning

    I hate playing this build so much, nerf this shit so pally can feel good again.

      Some of us really enjoy both builds. Rather than nerfing id much rather each be viable with their own unique strengths and weaknesses.

      I’d like both builds to be viable personally but I’m with you on hating having to play this build lol
