To frame this statement more properly, I am talking about at the highest levels of PVP. The damage from Adamanti will remain to be seen as the opponent gains significant resistance and defensive skills. Thus possibly negating missing one of the top heros on the line up.

Again, this is just my theory and still under testing.

My feeling is Herja/Main/Adamanti benefits from 150 mil - 300 mil power spectrum. Beyond that, other top heros who can do damage/stun/aoe/large single target damage may be more useful... Even Maria at the end would be very powerful even if she get's off a heal or two on key heros who do not take as much damage.
At the highest levels of play, there are two types of setups:

1. Direct damage setup: Priority is Scipio, Pompey, Bloodstorm

2. AOE setup: Priority are Adam, KT, Alci, Rhize

It also depends on how your enemy is setup. Sometimes DD is needed to take out an enemy's Queen Bryn, or Adam, if exposed. Sometimes the enemy has very strong tanks in front, and only an AOE approach will work.

Do not that a well setup Queen Bryn can really put a player's plans out of whack.
