Let’s talk about our girl. Let’s post pics of her (Just don’t post NSTW stuff) and let’s complaint about her rework, or defend her rework if you actually like it.
Anyway, I want to share a picture of her that I made as a celebration of this thread, I just hope it doesn’t get deleted due to the nature of her outfit:
Well if it’s a fanclub, then have a doodle of Whitemane as a soda jerk
If you want concerns on her re-work, I (still) think moving a few talent tiers around might help a bit (cuz I did a topic on that wayback when). but her form of healing is either going to by cycularly “op” if she doesn’t have limits, and up if she does; lotta casual players need the healer as a band-aid to offset poke, but the raw power she can pull out is either not going to matter much to poke, or she’ll burn around prematurely for allies that don’t want to commit.
Of the games I’ve played (pre and post) she’s prob my most “successful” healer, but either I’d run mindless wow-rotations to recoup the mana to pre-buff allies, or I’d have to hold their hands till they decide to engage and actually make use of the zeal proc.
Not a lot as really “changed” per the rework where she is set apart by other heroes, but since she lacks the simplier set-ups organized play want for wombo, and she needs to have mana trnsion to offset her potential, she’s going to get the raw deal on pick appeal because other supports simply have a simpler gimmick.
Yea, I’d rather have her in a double-comp so another healer can provide the sustain and bandaids while she provides the holy wrath, but a lot of players are afraid to have more than one tank (or frontline) or healer (or support) or non-ranged dps cuz they wander aimlessly about in games with the hopes of being granted the magic trophy cuz they did “dps”.
I adored her pre-rework and looked forward to playing her when I logged on. I based a D&D character on her personality. A Light Domain Cleric. Healing her allies and burning away corruption!
Her rework feels like garbage to play, and I cannot stand it. Mostly have relegated her to an AI hero when I need to get quests done.
I’m sad about Whitemane. I enjoyed her deeply and was very excited about the rework, which i actually was asking for.
The instant i saw it, it broke my heart.
I just don’t trust Blizzard is able to do anything right anymore, let alone something fine as fixing her, so i gave her up already.
Please excuse me not uploading an image but i don’t see the option anywhere, is it because i don’t have some kind of privilege for veteran forum users?
I uh… Actually like the rework. I preferred searing lash build, which i find to work far better in the rework, than previously.
Inquisition and Zeal build didn’t get their core issues fixed for me. Zeal I had too much trouble (attention and apm-wise) maintaining on everyone, so mana was/is not a huge concern. Inquisition still has the issue of self root, and not lasting the full duration because I have to reposition, get cc’d or don’t get full duration due to it canceling from target moving out of range.
Other small things I like. Baseline addition of clemency gives me a Mana preserving option to heal in less risky situations. Activatable trait gets me excellent synergy with e build and divine reckoning.
Not saying rework is better overall, or that I am even a good Whitemane player, but I find her more intuitive and have more success with her now
