Hello!
I am new (this era) to holy and looking to improve and better understand the design of the hero talents.
What situation in PVP is Lightsmith designed for? From what I can tell it is designed to be the melee style hero talent on the basis that you have the talent flexibility to go for some of the melee talents opposed to the caster style.
Am I generally correct that lightsmith is really only viable when doing a melee focused build?
I have played lightsmith in PVP and once I spend both armaments I feel the same as without them? As in am I missing something that is unique in the mechanics that I am just not seeing?
LS and Herald are still are both melee focused. I haven’t PvPed as hpal but I believe you’ll still want to run herald because it’s healing output is better and it still has some damage. Running tower of radiance or crusader’s might is really all that will change when you need to be in melee range to help generate more holy power, or if you can cast to generate HP too. With judgment and crusader strike, you can get off so many holy shocks that I don’t think casting is really even an issue, but I can see how getting a big holy light off in PvP may be good in some situations.
I really only use lightsmith for delves. It has good enough healing and better damage for solo content

The only situation lightsmith
is good is if you are fighting opponents that do low damage so you want to drop healing for more damage.
You lose a tremendous amount of hps in pvp by not being herald of the sun.
