I just tested again today to see why i feel better playing templar now and its because there were hidden changes to herald that were not made public.
When i reported a month ago that wake of ash didn’t apply 2 stacks of dawnlight to self if no enemies were in range they fixed it and it did after that apply 2 stacks of dawnlight to allies or self if enemies were not nearby to take the 2 stacks from using wake of ash which procs wing.
Now it doesn’t apply on us, meaning you cannot kite behind a pillar anymore and wake of ash to get 2 stacks of dawnlight healing on yourself anymore. This is a HUGE NERF to survivability of herald and that probably why i feel way stronger when im templar than herald, they made some bad changes that ruins the hero spec.
