While the halo effect is cool, it kills divine star. Also, being an Archon is to ascend and be at the top of power…
Why not make it so if you take Apotheosis talent it simultaneously activates boon of the ascended from shadowlands, but holy themed. Then you have the option to pump DPS or heals. And if you choose salve, you basically cast salv and get archon boon of the ascended once the salv cast finishes. This would give you huge DPS and healing out of ur majors w/ out killing talents.
hated Boon of the ascended.
Hopefully it won’t come back.
I do agree tho that Archon still needs some visual effects that make it feel more powerful and big
Halo should not be the focus of this Hero Tree.
If anything, Cascade should be the additional spell we get, and focus around that. Everyone else seems to get something else, but as I mentioned in another thread, the only thing Holy gets it “Your Halo comes back to you”.
wow, such gameplay. Clearly the Voidweaver and Archon designers are two completely different people.
Archon as a whole (or maybe even just base Holy) needs a new transformation, period.
Apotheosis is “okay” for base Holy, though it looks a bit goofy by today’s standards. Really think we should get Naaru-like wings and glow white, not see-through Jello-yellow.
Wouldn’t it be neat to press the Archon-upgraded Apotheosis, and have Naaru-like wings pop up while you hover?
And imagine something like “While in your ultimate form, you safely ignore ground effects.” while we float around.
That is unique, and really gives us a point of power that nobody else has.
Give the transformation itself whatever spells and effects you want, but I think Cascade and some kind of improved Apotheosis (preferably both with updated visuals) being its focus rather than Halo, would make a lot more sense.
Hate to rain on your parade, but if disc can’t get movement+float for the 5 seconds of Ultimate Penance there is exactly 0% chance they will give it to Archon. Whoever the priest dev is they enjoy treating priest mobility and utility like it is 2.0.
Anyone notice how the final talent for Archon states that “Halo now centers around you…”? Am I crazy or has this not always been the case?
Maybe it’s very poor writing to say it follows you.
HALO was a lazy Design choice
Nothing else to say.
It was lazy design. Nothing new, nothing fun.
Just like ORACLE.
Lazy and Super boring design choice. All they did was copy the blessing of seasons. No body wants to deal with a MicroManagement Spec. We want to play the game and have fun. Oracle, like archon could of been so much more.
At least Voidweaver did something new, which is why I praise it so much.
I don’t have any skin in the game, but I’ve seen archon gameplay that looked extremely unexciting. It would at least look vastly cooler if any target hit by halo also sent out a mini halo.
yup…
Oracle and Archon do need BIG vfx changes. A lot of classes are getting really cool flashy and fantasy stuff.
Archon and Oracle are lacking on that really hard.
I mean I get it, we’re priests. Kinda grasping at straws for ideas. Usually we kinda just spread the good faith around.
I would have liked to be a dwarven rune priest though
