Before anything else, I haven’t had the opportunity to test it yet, so it’s my opinion based on youtube videos I’ve seen of people who tested the Alpha build. It’s okay to disagree with something I’m about to say. (Elemental based)
So, I really liked the theme of summoning your character’s ancestors to assist you in battle. You basically summon your ancestors, either through RNG on your lava bursts or when casting Primordial Wave. (When one ancestor expires, there’s a chance another one will appear in its place via RNG as well).
When you cast a damaging spell, they also cast, and when you heal, they also heal. The damage/healing from the ancestors seems “OK”.
Honestly, I’m not sure what I was expecting, but despite liking the theme, I thought they could have been more creative in the “functionality” of the ancestors, rather than them basically being another version of the Mastery “Elemental Overload”. At most, it feels “Necromantic-ish”
I don’t know, it might be fun while playing it, but so far, kinda meh.
I know its Alpha, hope they tweaks it a bit until Beta/release.
I’m honestly meh on more than half of the Hero specs, personally, but for me this one I’m reserving judgement on since it was my “mains” preferred spec. I’m revising that and thinking about other classes I might main going forward.
I feel like it’s similar to when they rolled out the new talent specs with DF… The first ones done are simply suboptimal compared to the later ones made.
Tin foil hat is Rogues are gonna have some bangers since they just released one and the other ones aren’t released yet.
I also have to say I’m very cynical as to why they are doing these, and whether they can actually roll these out well enough.
How are these going to be “evergreen,” and how will they keep specs from breaking when there are already some specs that are functionally useless at present?
Its meh at best.
Its only positive for resto is that the little friend will also duplicate dps spells for resto.
This is one of the hero specs that i think will receive some reiteration, currently feels a bit flat. I like the idea though.
We cant even get a second hero talent spec shown yet. Getting one redone isn’t on the table imho.
I think it should be called Spiritwalker, not Farseer.
This Hero Spec is about spirits, not about seeing really far.
And also Farseer is already taken as the Legion Class Hall title. If they make the Hero Spec “Farseer”, them you have some funny stuff like Enhancement Shaman Farseers being forbidden from being Farseers lol
(Though if I had my way I would call it “Grandma Summoner”)
See Oracle priest, which was revealed, then reworked before archon ever was shown.
