I’ve read some blogs about the pros and cons of healers trying to level as healers in Legion due to how it affects our artifact. (As a resto shaman raider, that’s a big concern for me.)
If you happened to level in Legion: if I leveled as ele and empowered my ele weapon while doing so, would I be able to make up for the loss to my resto weapon before raiding starts? (As a quick side note, I know that I can level as ele while empowering my resto artifact, but the blogs I've seen say that leveling in a spec in which you're not empowering your weapon is just as slow if not worse than leveling as a healer.)
For those of you who have played around at max level, how do we continue empowering our weapon in Legion once we’re at max-level? Is it by questing, doing dungeons, raiding, or some combination until we hit some daily or weekly cap? And (here’s the real question for me) if it isn’t only doing dungeons and raiding, does it force me to do dailies in a healer spec in order to empower that artifact?
Please be spoiler-free in terms of story/lore in your response!
Thanks for any insight you can provide!
