The thing about the herald change that pisses me off is people were acting like draconic echo was just another “spamming facets off cooldown” enabler, but that trait was in the game five whole years ago and was really interesting, and enabling its existence on another build was cool? Having ticking upkeep skills just seems boring to me, but maybe I’m alone in that

And as the person that never shuts up about willbender, I completely agree with anet forgetting about the spec. It has received updates (notably, lethal tempo got pretty notably buffed, and now virtues can stack with one another) and is in a much better spot than it was, but it sucks that they nerfed alac willbender (a strong spec that was heavily restrictive in where it was playable), only to make it a slightly above average spec with literally ZERO boons other than alac, obviously, and regeneration, a boon you don’t want to trust to your DPS player. Not to mention upkeeping that alacrity is utterly painful on willbender, it just sucks seeing my favorite spec be an afterthought, and my second favorite build (alac specter) get gutted because people dont understand it and think its less cool than it is :(
