Need honest feedback on AC / DO for PVE purpose.

rayfw

First of all, hello to all fellow DC,

I have been playing DC as my starting and main class since I joined this game in August 2013.

As at now, my DC is an AC paragon,

I am 19wis/19cha/19str/17dex/14con/13int Halfling DC with High prophet set,
sunburst/astral shield/FF as an encounter,
blessing/astral seal as at-will,
and spamming hg with moon touched feat
my class feature are anointed armor and anointed holy symbol

i have similar feat with this guide :- http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?544661-Tunare-s-Anointed-Champion-Faithful-spec

in short word, i am very similar to Tunare's build,

1) but somehow lately, with my current playstyle, I feel that I should go back to DO,
I am now seeking honest opinion, feedback and personal experience regarding AC and DO from all fellow DC;

2) also, does bots > blessing? (at-will), i do miss bots, tbh;

3) does foresight gives the same benefit or has it been nerfed? 6% + (5% feat);

4) I did try using sunburst/astral shield/exaltation, its super hard to maintain divinity pip.

any comment, feedback, personal experience are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

2. BoB is something you use because you want to keep the buff applied to yourself and to party members. The divinity and AP gain is high for an At-Will, but that's to compensate for the animation being fairly slow. It's basically "Foresight Lite." The buff is pretty much the only reason to choose this At-Will over the others.

3. Foresight is still status quo, but the devs have hinted that they plan on reworking the Benefit of Foresight feat at some point.

4. If you max Ethereal Boon and are still having issues, either your parties need way too much help, you're just using too much Divinity, or you perhaps you aren't spamming At-Wills at every opportunity. I have no qualms about using Exaltation as a buff in PvE; I'll only "save it" for Divine use when I observe that party members are needing the safety net. This isn't to say that I literally cast it on cooldown, but putting it on cooldown generates more Divinity through Ethereal Boon and feeds your AP meter, and it has nice buffs attached to it even in normal mode.
