I enjoyed AC build in S1. While HotS is stronger now, I was experimenting with AC build and HotS. The beams appear to be bugged. They come out for a split second, quicker than Holy Prism, then goes away. It doesn’t appear to increase healing/dmg either besides the wings affect themselves.
The Hero Talent says “During Avenging Crusader, you become linked to your dawnlights causing xxx radiant damage to enemies or xxx healing to allies that pass through the beams” just like the Avenging Wrath if you were in spec’d into that. However, the beams do not exist.
So this a bug?

I haven’t paid attention but it would explain how AC feels so bad HPS wise… I’ll check it out.
Even after patch day, still no beams =/
Yeah I tested it it does appear to be bugged and not applying beams. Not sure if this is a new bug or not…
I’m pretty sure I heard ellesmere explaining the other day that it’s just a display bug. I haven’t confirmed though.
I tested the two with the exact same rotation, the only difference being AW and AC Change.
With AW, Sun’s Avatar Hit’s an average of 252 times doing, 234k DPS, 8.6m damage and is number 1 in DPS for the 20s duration.
AC Sun’s Avatar Average hits 67 times, 43k DPS, - 1.49m damage and is 5th on the damage meters over it’s 15 second duration.
Both Dawnlight (DoT and Not) is the same situation, it’s about half the damage, half the hit count and half the DPS.
Under the Hero Talent Sun’s Avatar, Avenging Crusader reads the except AC applies 2 Dawnlights, same as Avenging Wrath applies 4.
“During Avenging Crusader, you become linked to your Dawnlights, causing 19,439 Radiant damage to enemies or 17,436 healing to allies that pass through the beams, reduced beyond 5 targets. Activating Avenging Crusader applies up to 2 Dawnlights onto nearby allies or enemies and increases Dawnlight’s duration by 20%. Sun’s Avatar’s healing des not transfer to Beacon of Light”.
In efforts to even it out using AC, I would use Prism to add 2 additional to give a fair comparison. The Prism Dawnlight is technically strong due to what it is, yet, it is substantially weaker than the AW.
I don’t think it’s just a visual bug.

Thanks for this. I guess they don’t want AC played
