Feels not bad, but she need another one. Maybe most frustrating thing in her gameplay when your energy bar is full, but you cant use it. So add some passive effect to her W like: If energy level is max, heal recrarges X% faster or drops X secs cd or something like that. To let you spend your energy and start accumulate it again.
Maybe the cool down could recharge a little faster, but I could see situations where she could make herself and a target unkillable.
Maybe give her heal a soft cool down in that you could use it whenever you wanted, but at a reduced efficiency while the cool down resets.
Never happening on her heal. It was nerfed long ago when pro players won 3 vs 5 with chogall + auriel.Due to this combo lowering cd on heal is impossible cus chogall can fill her bar in under 2 sec ez. And that is with reservoir of hope being stacked to high heaven due to chogall filing it all the darn time.
Auriel is insane the way she is, the she was before buffs. l2p l the game

Yup.Her strength is when she is paired with the right hero.She is one of the few heroes whose strength is counted as a team. Aka auriel is weak. Auriel + guldan is insane.
She looks bad in QM due to bad comps.But in UR and SL she is soo good and fun to play.Love her kit. Except rez. When its bad even when you can rez 2 ppl with chogall you just know that the ulti sucks BAD.

Auriel was always strong with an energy battery. Winning teams kept winning with her around. The buff for her made her less dependent on having the right team to feed you, so she’s more versatile.
She is meant to be played actively, in the middle of the fight like Tyrande. You should be auto-attacking and using your sweep to recharge. Her heal is already on a 4s cd so there’s no reason to make it shorter. You can use your positioning to land that heal on multiple targets at the same time. Her stun also requires skill and proper positioning, but when done properly, she sets up kills.
I’ll grant you that her ults could still use some work. Both are often death traps, and it takes real skill to be able to use them at exactly the right time.
About the only change I’d suggest is making sweep faster. It’s a self-root if you don’t take the Level 1 talent, and it gets you killed.
Its a must pick. I think its only not picked if you need to land blinds on a hero like tycus melting someone with trait.Even then you need that speed. Its one of those must pick talents.
Many ppl dont know just how good it is. I did that. Took a while to figure out its great.
auriel level 1s are situational or preference i think tbh. Searing light gets a lot of value with/vs melees, cdr is good and you can spam blinds at 13, a lot of people like that and a lot of people like swift sweep.
They need to replace Resurrect at this point. It’s just a very underused talent that they haven’t done much to make it a bit more viable and I think I can understand why. It will never be more valuable than Crystal Aegis because no matter how you look at it Res always feeds XP and sometimes may even get your ally killed twice

Lvl 1 “swift Sweep” should be baseline. I,ve been picking it since Auriel was created.
The default speed is just stupid, and all 3 other talents are worthless.
Since last patch I actually started using Increased Clarity with extra AoE but more importantly Glimmer of Hope and Reservoir of Hope, finally.
Her selfgeneration is stronk and very often overkills her energy bar, going to waste. Constant AoE Ancestrals are funny.
Searing Light could use small dmg buff but more importantly, cast range increase. It got potential to be nice dive comp talent.
Righteous Assault is totally fine talent and since you find Swift Sweep good, I would say her lvl 1 got a lot of potential. With buff to Searing Light this could be solid tier.

Bronze level heroes is hardly pro level. CG was never popular pick as battery on pro level. Battery was practically always Valla or Guldan, in some rare instances Cassia in old days. CG even at his strongest was barely ever played by pros due to how easy he is to punish by coordinated teams and how little he provides to the team compared to 2 individual heroes.
Yeah, it wasn’t really because of Cho’gall. It was because that talent allowed any high dps battery to enable full Energy 2 second heal spam by Auriel.
It is better for the game that talent was removed by Blizzard.
https://heroesofthestorm.fandom.com/wiki/Bursting_LightI think I speak for all of us when I say, “WTF is that supposed to mean?”
A grammatical error.
Auriel buffs not enoth
Auriel buffs not enough
Now that wasn’t so hard.

Maybe he was confused and thought OP was talking about an Old God or Xel’naga or something? Enoth does sound sort of like a good name for one of them…

Sorry for this, I have an issue with writing. I use the wrong letter sometimes, especially ones that look like “p-q-b-d” or “s-z”, skip a couple of letters as here, double the wrong letter as “Feel-fell”, etc; and my bad english make it even worse. Usually I am checking the text with a program or reading it twise before post, but forgot about title this time.
Nah Auriel is dumb af right now, and I have started banning her every game.
She gets 75% energy by using Q on a single minion wave…
QM, solo queue, so no expectation of good batteries, but even without a good one, her heals are nuts. Played 3 games in a row and won all of them. Of course, it’s not just her heals, but was out healing about 30K more then the other team (Malfurion, Ana and Tyrande (I think?)). She’s a lot stronger for sure.
After reading above, I tried out the faster sweep (I normally take the cd reduction sweep), have to say the fast sweep is reallllly nice. Went 4-0 last game cuz of that fast sweep skill.
Of course this is all anecdotal.
