Archangel awakened or not has no significant change

The only difference I saw in awakening is ability reduction percentage, apart from it there is no other benefit or awakening him. Maybe he’s ok without awakening.

    “Yeah imo AAs sig is pretty useless. It’s only silly AAR and passive heal block.”

    The ability accuracy reduction is so strong that on its own, it would already be worthy of a generic awakening gem. But on top of that, he gets some of the best heal block in the game, where do you not see the benefit and significance of it?

    The Heal Block is passive so you don't have to worry about tenacity. The AAR bypasses so many things. For one, he bypasses the root node in this side quest, and the double dash back node in 6.1.1 (can't remember the name). He's definitely much better with it

    He does? LOL just explored that quest the hard way with him rank four and on the bench. 😐

    It bypasses the node !? How? Does this mean if I have 3 neurotoxins. Root just won’t work?

    Everyone, maybe i didnt understand what acutally he does completely. Look i just awakened him and played a couple of rol tests. Its a good thing you all speak of his abilities more clearly than Kabam does in their brief explanation, and thats a reason I believe forum posts to be a better way of understanding things.

    Everyone who’s being salty here, please you dont need to be.

    Thanks

    Thats why I mentioned the keyword “maybe” before writing he’s ok without awakening. I didnt say I guarantee or I am sure. I just mentioned my doubt, sad no one read this in the way it was mentioned.

    The sig ability value is incorrect and it's not everything, I've discovered more things since but it might help
