It's damage reduction is just meh and takes very little to break through. Rager can smashed it down in moments. Even with ABS the reductions seemed just ok and if maledicted I still got beat down easily. The regen was OK but the moment any malediction happens, it's horrible. I couldn't tank normal things that my neutral conjurers could tank with a luminous archon let alone stronger things. In fact, my Fox, which is utility and not primarily defensive, tanked better than my defensive major in many cases! I ended up deleting my last character because I couldn't actually even explore and certain problems being in Herald. This was my last character I played so it was a recent experience with the same feeling.
