Can I get a quick rundown on hpal?

Just maxed one recently, want to start playing it. I know some good hpal players like Bubblebuddy and Dno post here. I am lightsmith since it seemed most are (33 out of 50). Need a TLDR.

Tried watching a Crusader guide on YT which was only about 10 days old but it’s hard to focus between his ranting and selling of his merchandise mid-guide.

Just a TLDR mode, or at least a good resource to actually learn from.

cdew has a decent guide on utube and talks about the play style

I saw that ty, I didn’t notice one for this season though so I’ll use it as a baseline but I imagine some things are different in s2 now.

play herald vs rot(assa aff, assa boomy, feral sp,) or when you are perma pinned against a pillar and get run out to get close enough to apply weapon to the other guy like vs mage lock. Otherwise play lightsmith every game and focus on never dropping below 70% with either build because then your holy shock will do much less.

You can use weapon to avoid cc and heal yourself while its proccing and ignore ms but now it only procs one time per weapon.

If the weapon is applied to someone below 40% it wont proc until you get them above 40% and they drop again.
