Is Heimdall good?
Heimdall's kit carries a lot of resistance to damaging effects these days, which makes Willpower a solid pick since DOTs land for much less against him. His Precisions already give him plenty of Crit Rating, so stacking Critical Damage Rating on top of that gets more value than most other stat options, and his Special 2 Resonance threatens real chip damage through block, which Block Penetration pushes even further.
As a genuine old-school Cosmic champion, he stacks a lot of powerful buffs, and the 
Thor relic synergizes well by boosting their potency. C tier for a resilient Cosmic with strong chip damage.
Strengths
- High resistance to damaging effects reduces DOT damage taken
- Already-high Crit Rating makes Critical Damage Rating investment efficient
- Special 2 Resonance threatens real chip damage through block
