He doesn't seem to have a lot of positive opinions about the balance update - applying boons on druid seems much much worse than before (requires lots of ability spam and makes CA part of rotation instead of a reactive action), scourge has been hit hard and suffers from the same problem as druid when it comes to boon application and herald lost flexibility in how you play it due to the upkeep requirement.

One of my friends is currently using qHeralds for HTCM. This patch is making them reconsider due to the lower access to roads.

Ugh I didn't even consider that, the road energy cost is pretty high so no way it's gonna work with upkeep. It seems like they were only considering glint-shiro qdps herald with these changes, nothing else.

edit: I've tried herald a bit and it feels reeealllyy bad to play, keeping glint upkeep at -6 while also balancing skill usage for damage is just a nightmare
