That's like... your opinion man.

havent encountered one in p8 yet, are they as tanky as an uber?

you have every type of dmg potentially coming at you at once, especially with "fast enchanted" and being in close quarters, while needing to actually kill it fast, to prevent someone else from trying to farm your sunder by the alert.

you have 10seconds to kill, before someone gets to the wp, and tracks you down to where the lvl 5 is in a public game. i'll potentially sacrifice some ease of play with a javazon telespeed if it can actually get the job done when a herald lvl 5 appears.

the solo reference is , sill in a public game, just you are moving through acts solo, but can still be hunted down from someone trying to "steal" the herald spawn.

Self infinity spearzon is probably the 3rd place P8 T5 Herald farmer. Standard javazon setup does not have enough pierce to counter lightning enchanted/immune spawns.

this is good to know. im thinking about going zon, as i found a perfect griffons the other day. sets me up perfectly, just need the infinity roll now.

Sometimes the damage a Tier 5 Herald can dish out in a full game is insane. Saw two echo warlocks go in for their standard faceroll kill on a pack of Claw Viper/conc aura/cursed..... got nuked quick.

In a situation like that barb is fun, howl away the trash, focus on the herald. Sadly barb is lacking on the kill speed window you are talking about.
