Boho.2698

Same tie-dye blue text boxes here. Win7, GTX 1660, otherwise pretty old. Worked fine on my Win10 laptop with a mobile nVidia card (forget which and currently can't check). Cleared temp files, uninstalled all add-ons and reshade, etc.

It’s a Healing spec. The pieces are there for DPS but they currently don’t fit. Vindicator or Legendary Alliance needs reliable ways of generating 100% uptime on either Resolution (to enable the Retribution line) or Fury (to enable the Invocation line), but currently lacks either. Changing the middle column 1 trait to Fury/Resolution instead of Might/Regen would help, though it’d make that trait mandatory for soloing. Greatsword 2 and especially 3 feel too short. 5 has a janky cast time. Legendary Alliance The switch mechanic feels tacked on. There is no synergy between the two sides and there is no reward for using them both or in some kind of rhythm, so basically you just press the wrong colored abilities when you get a chance in order to get to the correct ones. You can also press F2 to swap all your abilities, which will make you wonder why F2 isn’t just a switch to control which color you have access to since, again, there is no synergy or reward for using both colors. Red Elite does meh damage and applies a pointless condition and Blue Elite just animation locks and kills you, so maybe don’t press the Elite at all? You lose a dodge and in exchange can control how expensive your dodge is. If you want it to do damage it costs the most because this is a healing spec. If you want it to recharge the fastest it also heals all the stuff around you for a lot because this is a healing spec. If you can’t make up your mind you can extend boons of everyone by two seconds by jumping on their heads like Mario, which will make people ask you why you gave up one of your dodges instead of just using Glint if you want to extend buffs? You shouldn’t pick that one because the best one is the healing one because this is a healing spec.

I think it's the worst espec yet released. Even worse than Willbender. Hammer damage is painfully low. Hammer is full of skills requiring channels, making it feel clusmy and ineffective. Hammer lacks combo and/or aura generation, making it incompatible with Catalyst traits. Jade Sphere is forgettable, boring, and yet another mechanic to maintain on an already overloaded class. The only potentially good Jade Sphere is Air, but my Sphere changes attunements when I do. Quickness from JS Air is not instant 100% uptime like Firebrand. The JS requiring Energy but being stationary makes it non-viable in competitive modes. Augments are generally weak and don't interact with the Sphere in any interesting ways. Augments somehow aren't combos despite wanting you to stand in the JS and the class desperately needing combos. Elemental Celerity's cooldown is too long and its boons are boring. Wheels, Hardened Auras, Elemental Empowerment, and Empowering Auras are even more things to maintain on an already overburned class just to compete with other classes that do the same automatically. Overall it's just a miserable chore to play and only works in PVE.
