Your elite spec should be maybe double the points of a regular spec line.
It doesn’t make sense that I’m going to play all of HoT and then some of the original with my Revenant before I’ll even be able to equip herald without gimping myself.
I want to enjoy my new elite spec while I’m playing through the new content. Should I get it pretty easily? Nah, but maybe halfway through the 2nd map, I should have my spec unlocked or be extremely close to unlocking it.
As it stands, I’m going to play through the story on my revenant, unlock Herald, and then shelve him for an alt to take through the story.
