I just took a look at Hero talents for priest, and saw Archon is based around… Halo. What??? That is probably the worst talent a priest has. Use it and everything around you aggroes which means dead priest unless you massively outgear the area.
Could someone please explain how this is anywhere close to viable? Because I’m not seeing it.
It doesn’t agro untouched enemies.
Other than the hilarious overheal and the fact it makes us not feel like what we think an archon is, it’s quite useable.
It… It doesn’t? Even ones with Red bars?
That’s new. I guess its been a while since I used it, then.
Thanks.
Archon for Holy or Shadow?
Archon for Holy is overpowered because it does a massive amount of healing in raid.
For Shadow its pretty useless. Voidweaver is better.
Does anyone know if halo is breaking stealth ? Is it breaking any cc?
I just posted on the Beta Forums, but halo is now tagging all mobs regardless of agro as of this beta build.
This is happing in open world, delves, and dungeons.
Yup, it happens for me too. The main culprit is that Halo is completely overhauled with the back-and-forth mechanic.
This is correct. I was watching Jak’s stream the other day and he accidentally pulled extra mobs in Necrotic Wake on beta. The group wiped. He said, “nah man, that wasn’t me, Halo no longer pulls mobs as of a patch way back.” Then he hit Halo on the second attempt, it hit + aggro’d an extra pack again (and this time it was obvious that it did), and his jaw hit the floor.
Lol, I need to see that.
I bet he had the same expression I had when I saw it pulled everything in the delve. I had to go back to my recording to see if I was just being mistaken and accidently pull a pat.
I know at the start of the beta it didn’t do that; I feel something happened recently that caused this to happen I think the most recent patch did this.
Right here! Start at 15:29.

Then watch to 16:30: “There’s no way it was my Halo…HOLY SH____ IT WAS!”
It has way more play synergy for Voidform than Voidweaver does. I’m curious about it being a halfway decent mythic specs while reserving Voidweaver+Dark Ascension for raiding.
