Maybe im looking in to it to much but its possible thats why your not enjoying the hero much anymore. Wm’s level 1 talents are insanely strong but you throw away all of that in favor of a better late game when you pick stacks. Not that it’s a unplayable talent but thats just how it is.
Heres an example of what E build whitemane can do.
Nova basicaly evaporates and at level 20 you give mages a run for their money.
Its actually even better then that sense this was recorded before Righteous flame at 1 got its crazy 40% attack speed boost.
Give this build a try
1 Righteous flame
4 Unwavering faith
7 saintly greatstaff
13 Lashing out
16 doesn’t really matter. None of these have any particularly strong synergies
20 nuke the squishy, i mean purge the wicked. Ult upgrades are very powerful to.
This is the build I play the most often. Is super fun.
Also 1 more tip. Don’t take the cleanse, take aegis instead. You do enough healing that you can just power through most CC chains.
As for getting ganked, learn your limitations. Whitemane’s, and your own. If your scared of something, hang back hidden in a bush or something and swoop in to save the day instead of being right there with the tank. I find suprising the enemy with whitemane healing is extremely effective.
Also heres this monstrous wall of text if your interested.
