Hpal is definitely in a good place now, but I'll be really concerned if Blizzard makes any more changes that negatively impact their m+ performance (which could happen depending on how heroic week goes). Based on the current beta build, I wouldn't call them the clear meta healer anymore, but still have a great healing profile and utility kit in general.
Thanks :) I'll be making a UI vid this weekend that is more comprehensive than the previous one. It'll have my Cell profile/everything else (still need to do a little bit of work on it). I'll reply again here when its done!
@@arieltorres6097 Lol I guess idk how TH-cam comments work because It wouldn't let me @ you in my reply to @chrisbendt3380, but same answer for you as I gave him!
Hey! I may not understand your question, or you may be reading my build wrong (the talent positions have changed a little in the most recent beta build so I understand that). But I have the free EF hero tree talent: www.wowhead.com/spell=439760/aurora and I do have Strength of Conviction in the class tree as well. I don't have the Consecration proc talent: www.wowhead.com/spell=414113/righteous-judgment but I also don't think it lets me get double benefit from Strength of Conviction... Though I haven't tested that, just assumed based on the buff tooltip. I'll double check this the next time I'm on beta! I like the build though, its what I've been running for a while!
@@davidruggiero9538 Yeah no problem, the effect is a bit hard to see in some frames. It's the miniboss's AoE tank-targeted hit. I think its easier to see the purple half-circle at 9:49 as I'm just starting to run out. See it now? It will fear me and do big damage if it hits :)
Right now, I'm handling my mouseover keybinds inside the addon options of my raid frames, "Cell". However, you can mouseover-cast in a variety of ways. 1) Macro - Including [@mouseover] in the conditional area of the macro text. 2) Blizzard UI - there is a section for Click-Casting in the keybinds window, you can set your binds there. 3) Specific keybind addons - Clique is the most popular one, similar to Blizzard UI click-casting, but better / more features. 4) Cell - Pretty much the same as Clique, but is also a Raid/Party frame replacement addon. Hope that helps!
Personally, it didn't effect me very much since I was running Awestruck more often. But I do think it's a bummer they removed it, since Holy Infusion seemed like a great alternative talent that would help diverging playstyles / builds emerge, which I'm always in support of. However, I believe Blizz wanted to normalize Holy Power for balance reasons, which makes sense (even if I don't fully agree). My hope down the road is that we'll see more choice nodes where there is an actual decision to be made, rather than less... lol.
Its normally a good decision to self-cast the blessings, but there are some cases where you'd want to cast it on others. Summer: Was reworked in TWW. Now, it does damage based on the target's healing, or healing based on the target's damage. I mainly selfcast it for the damage, but will sometimes use it on a dps. Autumn: Can be really good to cast on other people at specific times, especially on things like fire mage for example. But since we're not coordinating / communicating, I'd rather greedily reduce my CDs instead. Winter: Can only use on healers. Spring: I use this on my tank somewhat often as an external, though its not as necessary in this key since there is a lot of aoe damage, we will get more benefit If my healing is higher on the party. So realistically, using more Autumns on my dps could be better, but only at the right time. If used at bad times they'd pretty much be wasted. I should probably try to combine more Summers with other healing CDs to get better damage out of it as well. Does that clear things up?
@@tylerchapman8856 Herald of the Sun for sure. Disregarding tuning (though it also does more hps), it has a few interactions that make it feel strictly better to play vs Lightsmith. Plus the light beams look cool :)
If you were able to have casual fun in DF, it should be a similar experience system-wise in TWW. Quick summary TWW vs DF: Gearing - Improved for mains and alts. Warbound gear, account wide crest reduction and some reps. Alts looking good! Solo content: Story mode raid + delves let you get vault rewards while playing solo. +level 13 delve could be a good "casual" objective (who knows yet they're still keeping it a secret). Dungeons: Harder overall, but also more engaging in my opinion. New affixes are interesting. You may find more fun in (relative to yourself, whatever it is) lower level content, whereas higher level content might be more stressful. PVP: Solo queue rated bgs will probably be super fun if thats your kinda thing. Story/Bad guys: Already looks massively more promising than DF. No comment on the raid Hope that helps you decide.
Would you say hpal is in a good place now or much worse after the nerfs? Didnt play beta since the nerfs happened

I like your cell frames. Any chance to get a link to the profile?
me too, hope get and answer haha

How did you felt this Build? without the free EF and the second Concentration to pump your extra 10% on strength of conviction?
Hey!

funny people are doing +10's before the games even out lmao
Could u explain what happened @9:48 ? Seems like u charged out for a mechanic and back in, but I can’t figure out what it was.
@9.50 to be more exact
He was marked with a mechanic (look the ground effect when he runs out)

@@Jickolas ah yep, I see it now, thanks! Still looking forward to the commentary vids if u are up for it ;)
How do you still keep the mob your attacking targeted but cast heals on people at the same time?
By using mouseover, you can just turn it on in the options since DF
Right now, I'm handling my mouseover keybinds inside the addon options of my raid frames, "Cell". However, you can mouseover-cast in a variety of ways.
1) Macro - Including [@mouseover] in the conditional area of the macro text.
2) Blizzard UI - there is a section for Click-Casting in the keybinds window, you can set your binds there.
3) Specific keybind addons - Clique is the most popular one, similar to Blizzard UI click-casting, but better / more features.
4) Cell - Pretty much the same as Clique, but is also a Raid/Party frame replacement addon.
Hope that helps!
U can also use the in game option of click casting
What’s your thoughts on holy infusion change?

Why are you using all blessings (including that one for damage) on yourself? Not possible to cast on someonelse now?
Its normally a good decision to self-cast the blessings, but there are some cases where you'd want to cast it on others.
Summer: Was reworked in TWW. Now, it does damage based on the target's healing, or healing based on the target's damage. I mainly selfcast it for the damage, but will sometimes use it on a dps.

Can I be casual in this expansion and have fun with others?
@@erickdebrito14 u can always casual what are you talking about
If you were able to have casual fun in DF, it should be a similar experience system-wise in TWW.
Quick summary TWW vs DF:
Gearing - Improved for mains and alts. Warbound gear, account wide crest reduction and some reps. Alts looking good!
Solo content: Story mode raid + delves let you get vault rewards while playing solo. +level 13 delve could be a good "casual" objective (who knows yet they're still keeping it a secret).
