Welcome back friends! I hope your expansion experience is going well! What is your favorite part so far? Let me know! Please subscribe to see more! I included an open world build in the description for more survivability and self boons! Just replace the swords with greatsword! They haven't updated the build website yet. Also, I've been noticing a bit of comparison to vindicator. So, lets get down to it. Which one is "better" ? Well vindicator still has easier time giving the team stability...but the benefits really end there. This is the better build. More damage, more team support, but vindicator is still a good build, nothing wrong with it!

Willbendeer or Herald? Thank you
@sh1ro9 Жыл бұрын
The reason of dragonhunter runes instead of scholars is because the dps variant doesn't need the extra concentration you get from power like in the quickness variant? I'm guessing it's still scholars for the quickness version.
@DrKlenk-cx4hx Жыл бұрын
You have enough concentration in every way. You want dragonhunter instead of scholar, because it gives a bit more ferocity and a bit less power, which results in a small dmg buff. No scholar in any way for rev

@tarkanbulut449211 ай бұрын
You don't extend the boon duration of your allies unless you activate your True Nature. Facet of Nature just extends the boons if you are the source. Since you have no concentration in this build you are actually not providing any boons to your party. If you use Elevated Compassion in Herald's trait tree, use your second consume skills just before switching legends and active the True Nature before switching to Shiro (while in Glint), that way you can easily provide permanent 25 stacks of might, quickness, fury and some switfness. Of course in return of %20-25 DPS loss.

Don't be fooled though folks. this video shows them getting buffed by the testing arena buffs. So doesn't show one's own buffs. which is why I would say depending on your group's makeup, swap final herald talent to get quickness for your party. But if you were doing this solo, you'd only be getting about half the numbers. GS 5 is still pretty hard hitting, with full buffs yes I get nearly 40k damage. but otherwise without the arena buffs, it's more like 20-25k not a bad build, just not as good as what is portrayed unless in a group that's just giving you all those buffs, but as a herald you should be offering party buffs too.
