i think this is the first healer that actually have many viable options and sinergy later on due to hypershift and mistified
I had lots of doubts but i'll finally buy BW and give it a try as i think it is super fun but also has great utility that most ppl understimate in hight level play (League)
Hey dude! This is a great guide; it's how I run Brightwing myself (finally got her Master skin). A quick note regarding Mistified -- It combos very well with Hyper Shift. Remember, every time Soothing Mist procs, Phase Shift's cooldown drops by 2 seconds. If your Soothing Mist is going off more often, so is your Hyper Shift. This can be a godsend if you took Peekaboo and are up against an actually-good Nova or Zeratul and you really need that reveal to proc.
In the end I still think Phase Shield is the better talent on both Manic Pixie and Peekaboo! builds (esp since if you're shifting to proc Peekaboo, you ALSO drop the shield) but if you need Phase Shift even more, it's worth thinking about.
Awesome guide! Since I've been using it, people have been amazed at how viable Brightwing actually is (which usually comes after the flaming for even picking Brightwing). My favorite hero! Thanks Indarus!
I came to a similar optimal build as your healing build, with one simple change: keeping Hyper Shift at level 1. I feel it actually synergizes a lot better with the other talents than Unfurling Spray: The hardened focus + mistified combo means you're pulsing your trait a huge amount in fights, which almost completely negates your phase shift cd, allowing you to constantly leave and re-join fights.
I feel like with this build, BW becomes the single strongest sustained support in the game. You're able to constantly use your abilities off CD for huge healing and teamfight impact (2x more polymorph and 2x more arcane flares are not to be overlooked), and always have phase shift available to regen mana when appropriate.
Unfurling Spray is certainly nice, but going oom half way through a drawn out teamfight and not having 10-15 seconds on your phase shift cooldown is a lot better.
A+ guide, makes playing the revamped Brightwing rediculously fun. I find myself favoring Hyper Shift, because it sends my mobility from 'good' to 'through the roof.' Someone need heals? I AM THERE. If nobody needs me to hop to 'em, I'll use it to throw a shield on someone I'm with.
Thank you! I agree, jumping around the place all the time is incredibly fun. I personally like the healing build since I'm more used to the old Brightwing's playstyle, but obviously, both are fun. :)

I will look into it! I've had a few people say the same thing, so I might as well test it out and change it if I see fit.
