Yes, I think overall the 3 trait lines are stronger and more specialized, which is what you were going for. I think it went a little too far away from the jack of all trades vibe captain had before. Inspire i dont like the changes. It felt good to support the whole fellowship with power and heals, albiet small.
I will say, I am dissapointed with the animation of "hammer stroke" just being a copy of shadows lament. I always thought that was boring and for a really cool sounding skill like hammer stroke on a long cd, I was hoping for something along the lines of "brutal assault" or "hammer down" in terms of wheighty-ness.
I noticed their damage felt increased, and I like how they have unique skills between them! And after seeing the trait is low in red i am overall happy with the herald changes.
Please take this "pet" buff mentality and work on loremaster pets in your next round of class reworks. Blue LM deserves a place in this game.
