This is from a while ago but it was a lot of fun. I didn't really know how to manage the skill rotations though.

HWM or dog for champ hag?

>>181524431
try to set it up so the ones in the back are the fastest and move the occultist to the front

i dont really understand the point of the 6 stacking blood

Bought this game a week ago and love it. Got a team of 6's now. I've noticed though that they barely survive lvl 5 missions still. Comparing them to some of my B teams I think the composition might just be shit. From rank 1 to 4 I've got
Crusader, Leper, Highwayman, Vestal.

The Crusader feels awkward, not the best tank and neither the best damage dealer. Leper feels a bit stronger. Highwayman feels like trash and Vestal with healing gear aoe healing for 8+ is the only reason these retards survive anything. How do I fix this?

Is the HWM garbage? I'm kind of attached to him and the Crusader since they're my first boys and would like to make him work.

Does rank 1&2 really matter what position they're in? Feels like everything that can hit either can hit the other, and 2 actually feels like he gets more shit than 1.

So let me get this straight; those who have been into the Darkest Dungeon itself give bonus xp to all the parties they join, but they are rather useless as they can only go on lvl 5 missions?

>>181525004
Just take a single low level in with three level sixes. Easily doable if you don't do a long mission

>>181525157
Allright. Not as useful for faster levelling as I originally thought, but at least still usable

>>181524873
pistol shot has crazy crit mod if you seek a good skill for rank 3-4 highwayman, but otherwise you just want him to do duelist advance+point blank shot (or vice versa)
bulwark of faith is actually decent now, and double crusader holy lance strat never gets old

>>181525216
Champ dungeons give more xp anyway, so you can usually get a level 0 to level 3 with one medium mission. (4 if you have ancestors portrait).

>>181524873
your team is really weak to shuffling and you cant kill anything in the back since the HWM has to do it all on his own

best skill the HWM has atm is the duelist's advance since he can hit every rank and the riposte deals good damage while punishing enemy aoe, but since you have 2 guys who must be in rank 1-2 its awkward to use

you could use duelists advance into holy lance, but the crusader being so slow means you wont kill anything before they can act

crusader can support his team and get them off deaths door while a leper mostly focuses on himself

>Does rank 1&2 really matter what position they're in? Feels like everything that can hit either can hit the other, and 2 actually feels like he gets more shit than 1.
some attacks only hit rank 1 like the fat bandits point blank shot

>>181524789
You mean the point of them nerfing it down from 12, or the point of being able to stack it at all?

>>181525347
So if I wanna keep Crusader and HWM I probably have to switch out the Leper? What's a good replacement?

>>181525746
What kind of changes should I consider?

>>181525813
Remember that you can retreat and play carefully. Just get in there.

>>181525968
Can't go wrong with a Houndmaster I suppose. If you go Vestal/HM/HWM/Sader, you should be set for just about anything.

>>181525813
ideally you want to get the highest level skills/equipment you can carry

It's always difficult and scary the first time you go up a rank level.

New friend here.

I see that the darkest dungeon is level 6 or 5 and the other places are all 0 or 1 but one of them is level 2.

How does this work? The places I visit more level up? But it still says apprentice level 1 or whatever. I really dont get it

RNG doesnt matter guys xxDDD

>>181526840
The areas level up as you do shit in them. Unlocking higher level missions in them. Darkest Dungeon is an exception.

>>181526986
>Dodge: 63
jesus

>>181526840
the number on the other areas indicate how many bosses you've killed. If your area is level 1, for example, then that means that either the first boss is ready to be fought

>>181527291
thats the shrieker for you

>>181526986

>tfw I defeat him with Arbalest, Occultist, Vestal and Leper

Without dodge he is nothing

>>181526986
Isn't there only 1 Shrieker event in a playthough now?

So you only get 1 chance to get the positive quirks

>>181525968
>>181525968
>>What kind of changes should I consider?
depends who you want to keep and what area you plan on running

main change probably would be moving reynauld to rank 2 so dismas can stab the backrow and reynauld can follow up with holy lance while the vestal keeps the other one stunned

crusaders being slow will help here since you can be sure your HWM can move him into position

don't forget that the leper can knockback enemies 3 spaces so you can often push something so far back they cant threaten you while moving their backrow forward so they spend their turn retreating

you ideally want to do it like this:

dismas stabs enemy 4, leper knocks enemy 1 into rank 4, vestal stuns the new enemy in rank 1 and reynauld finishes off whoever dismas stabbed

enemies are now all out of position and the one guy that is in range is stunned

>>181527662

If you lost 8 trinkets you will always get a Shrieker fight.

I think the event of him stealing your trinkets is one time only

>>181525942
>being able to stack it at all

Yeah what the fuck were they thinking? Also the crimson curse should instantly blight and put your heroes on death's door and give them -50% deathblow resist. And the fanatic should have 3 pyres and spawn as a common enemy in every dungeon, and the collector should be immune to stuns and the shambler should get buffed by the clapperclaws.

There you go, I fixed Darkest Dungeon.

Is the musketeer workshop hero OP or balanced?

>>181527742
I'll try this. Sounds great. I suppose out of Smite/Accuse/Stun/Bulwark the one I should get rid of is Stun?

do you sort trinkets by quality or class restriction?

>>181527823
Post it.

>>181527823
The musketeer is a reskinned Arbalest.

How bad is the champion Fanatic? Should I just avoid him, or try to fight it out with Dismas and Reynold?

>>181527967

Class

>>181527967
Class-based seems more logical to me.

>>181528008
I'm pretty sure he's talking about the mod that makes her a functionally different class.

>>181527952
stun is probably his best move

drop bulwark, crusader is tanky, but unlike man at arms or the dog he cant force enemies outside of the mushrooms to attack him

you could drop accusation for the stress heal too since making sure 1 target die is better than spreading out the damage

>>181528008
never take them into a new boss

>>181527345
>>181527154

>number on the other areas indicate how many bosses you've killed

But i don't think I've killed any bosses yet besides a collector showing up. I just did the sort missions to scout and a medium mission.

What's the difference between the number at the top 0 to 6 and the apprentice level?

>>181528234
meant to say how many bosses you've killed -or- are able to kill.

>>181526840
the level in the skull shows you how many bosses are unlocked for that area, the bar next to the skull fills up when you do missions in the area

the lvl 6 you see is the mission level for the quest, all DD missions are lvl 6, but the area level is always 0 since nothing needs to be unlocked

>>181528234
The apprentice level is the mission's level. It'll change to Veteran/Orange once you get further along. The number over each area is a measure of how much progress you've made, increases with successful missions, and when it levels up, you can fight the next boss.

>>181526840
Also wanted to add the game will spawn quests based on the level of your heroes in the roster. As you get several heroes to level 3, you'll see level 3 quests appear. But if you still have a good number of 1's and 2's you'll have level 1 quests to choose from as well. This is the kind of thing I was worried about when I started playing (a couple weeks ago myself, actually) but it's really not an issue, the game will just get harder as your heroes get tougher.

Is it me or does the GR consistently roll the lowest possible damage rolls for her attacks 99% of the time if the attack doesn't crit? Like right now her damage range for, say, Thrown Dagger is 10 - 23 and if it doesn't crit then she almost always hits for 10 - 13.

>>181524431
Might've missed the second part of that, I said you'd have the green one be a lunge in pos 3, then the others would be set up to throw daggers, pos 1 and 3 would have shadow fade to manage stuns and keep people in the right positions and pos 2 would get toxin/blight depending where you take them

Another thing I forgot to talk about is the Arbalest's bolas: you can push people quite effective with the new CC trinket giving your Leper reah to hew the weak but annoying backline.

With the trinkets I told you Vestal can one shot bone courtiers and crossbows since the mace now deals extra damage to unholy.

What happens if I Regroup while I have a coloured key in my bags? Does it show up next time in provisions?

>>181534176
He's a healer with strong bleeding attacks. But his full potential, for both offense and support, requires him taking a fair amount of damage to activate various passive buffs and healing and access to his stronger attack and heal, which also both self heal for a fairly large amount to recoup the HP you lost.

He heals friends and himself, bleeds enemies and gets stronger as he's damaged. Read his Wiki page if you need better details, since he's got some unique mechanics that aren't entirely explained or all that intuitive.

Just played for a few hours and I completely forgot how slow the progression is.

It's not BAD, but having to re-organize your entire group while your "main team" stress heals and drops quirks, diseases, etc. for multiple weeks is frustrating.

It did force a lot of experimentation with comps due to random party members being benched at any given moment.

I think I made much faster progress on my first playthrough, by focusing on the "main squad" (usual suspects) much more.

>>181535135
>Does it show up next time in provisions?
Yes.

>>181534176
bit of both, you want him to get focused since he gets buffed at low hp and can easily self heal

he can do it directly so he marks himself and takes dots off his allies while bleeding himself to heal them

most of the time he can deal good enough damage on his own and don't need to make him low hp on purpose

he cant get deaths door debuffs either so don't worry about that

>>181535135
it appears in the provisions screen when you go in again

>>181534176
he's a Tank/Healer/DPS with the moves you give him

use Suffer to make him a more attractive target/kickstart his HP drain to get to healing faster

Redeem for those good heals

Exsanguinate as your self heal if everyone is doing fine/put on a heavy bleed on an enemy

Punish is probably the only attack you'll need since it can hit the first 3 rows

For maximum tanking I give his busted tooth from the Crimson Court and the Martyrs Seal, though other alternatives can exist

>>181534176
Seems like a bleedboii whose true potential is unlocked when below 35% hp.

I'd guess you stack +maxhp gear and tank a lot on purpose to use his better abilities more frequently.

At low level, I've been using him as a bleedbot (useless in some areas) with the lowhp thing being a "nice bonus" when it happens to come up.

I recommend giving him blood (if not a vampire) and holy water (if a vampire). You want him to take as much damage and stress as possible

>>181537148
originally it was a reskin of arbalest, but there's a mod using all of it's assets which is a new different class

So, fought the collector for the first time. Wasn't too difficult, I was on my way to the wizened hag so I had a marking / position 4 hitting team of arbalest - occultist - hound master - hellion. Took 4 rounds to kill him, then another 3 for the heads. My question is this, does he always spawn the same heads? He summoned highwayman - man at arm's - vestel. While not too bad, MAA head guarding a buffed HWM head made for a couple of hard hitting attacks against my line.

Then I forgot to use the firewood before the hag, but my little C team of level 1's got through all the same with no deaths.

>>181537885
Yeah it's always the same 3 heads

hoping he gets some more summons in the future to mix it up a little

>>181537625

bad lunge, he can still stress heal so eh

at least he can do damage afterwards now

Is there a hero that'd actually want to wear both of its set trinkets? Most of the time it'd seem you are better off using only one and then another, unrelated trinket

For example why would I want to wear both arbalest set trinkets? One specialises on damage, the other on healing.. It'd be either Bunny trinket + Medic Greaves or Bedtime story + Wrathful bandana

>>181540208
Battle vestal, sure.

The retreat mechanic is the fucking worst

>>181540390
>Battle Vestal
Profane Scroll + Atonement Beads. Her slutty Diary gives ass bonuses (She doesn't heal much stress in camp and fuck -2 spd). The set bonus is good tho

>>181540208
crusader in some sort of pseudo healer role

flagellant and hellion seem ok

Occultist in dark runs

>>181539280
You need at least 2 turns using Solo to buff it to pre-nerf levels (Not counting the nerf his district received), thus ruining what truly made finale great (That it'd instantly delete 1 enemy from battle). I like the direction they went with, but it doesn't work that nice in practice, as battles end long before you build an actually huge damage on finale

Is it better to camp before a boss to use buffs and stress prevention, or wait until after to heal the damage and stress? It seems like the first option makes fights much easier to manage and go a lot faster, but it also mostly wastes the health and stress benefits of eating.

They're literally in the steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon\heroes\ folder. Just make sure you can keep transparency in whatever image editor you use.

I'm fixing someone's Hellion topless skin and I don't even know how to draw or code. It's really easy.

How exactly do quirks like "-15% Stress vs Beasts" or "+20% Stress vs Human" work? Is it that while there's an enemy of that type present and alive, they take increased stress from everything? Or is it that stress attacks specifically caused by that type deal increased stress to them?

*Rename the folder to hellion_LETTER. e.g. hellion_Z
*Edit the files inside to make your reskin
*When done, copy your shiny new folder into steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon\heroes\HERONAME. You'll have hellion_A, hellion_B, hellion_C, hellion_D, and hellion_Z.

to start the dlc you do a lvl 1 mission, if you ignore it you will constantly get a town event lowering the effectiveness of stress healing activities

once you do it though areas can now be infested with CC enemies, the infestation will grow over time

once its high enough enemies carrying invitations to the boss missions will start to spawn

once you kill the boss the infection resets and you wait for it to build back up to get invitations

it can be a bit of a lengthy process

>>181558673
He obviously bears some kind of relationship with The Blood, my theory is he's from the same monastery the Fanatic came from, a monastery which was overrun by the Crimson Curse. The Shard of Glass in this theory would be from a shattered window of the monastery's chapel or whatever, and the tooth may be his own or from the Fanatic after a brawl between the two as they went their separate ways - the Fanatic obviously taking serious issue with Flaggy's relative tolerance of The Blood. The quote would be fairly self-explanatory, narrating both the collapse of the monastery and the gap formed between the Fanatic and the Flagellant.

could be something he used to hurt himself

I just beat the Darkest Dungeon and the story makes less sense now than it did before. Why did the Ancestor need you at all? Why couldn't he awaken the thing himself? If all he needed was more blood why not slaughter everybody in hamlet and the surrounding areas? Assuming he isn't a raving madman and everything truly is a part of some great entity whats up with the anti eldritch stuff? What are the other gods/supernatural entities in the setting (its heavily implied that other otherworldly beings exist since the vestal is capable of healing religious and non religious alike and the occultist has a pact with some other entity) doing while this world shattering horror attempts to awake?

IIRC hit chance is capped at 5% (as well as 90%) even is it displays 0%

>I'm sure someone out there failed a trap check at 100% chance.
That used to be a thing because traps had a "disarm resistance" (That was the same for all traps and only depended on the dungeon level) so you could fail a disarm even with 100% disarm chance, much like you can fail to stun despite having 100% stun chance.
They changed that in the radiant update, and now the chance you see is adjusted for the actual chance to disarm the trap

There is an unseen +10% chance to hit for any attack that applies after all other hit chance calcs. So there's always at least a 10% chance to hit anything and it's also why 90% attacks never miss.

>>181559806
Book of rage doesn't give the sweet +3 speed the Outcat's seal gives. Also you no longer have the set bonus but it was kinda crap to begin with so whatever.
Might try it out though. I also wanted to try martyr's seal but then I remember it sucks on anyone who is not a flagellant

>>181561876
Not enough backline damage, you're gonna eat a shit load of stress from skeletons.

>>181561876
3 crusaders + vestal is somewhat better, because you get more backline damage, if you can set up their speeds so that you get 2 holy lances per round.

>>181561943
Yeah the point of book of rage is to have 65% bonus damage, just gotta hope for acc quirk for champion

Do trinkets with torch effects do nothing in CC? Pretty retarded to completely get rid of a mechanic that so many things still depend on. I'm a shitter who depends on the ancestors candle.

>>181560317
The ancestor didn't want to awaken the heart of darkness. He was just some extravagant fuck who got bored of having bitches and parties galore so he started delving into eldritch shit. He progressively fucked anything he touched and in the end he realised there was a really big really bad monstrosity lying dormant underground, and if that monstrosity awakened it'd reshape reality into a mishap of tentacles,flesh, and eyes; and that's when he realised shit hit the fan and he killed himself and called you to fix his mess.

>the vestal is capable of healing religious and non religious alike
She just channels the powers of "the light", whatever that may be, the game doesn't expand on that at all. Empowering certain individuals might be the whole extent of the Light's contribution to stop the end of the world

>the occultist has a pact with some other entity
That 'other entity' is in fact the Heart of Darkness, he literally says this when you hover over him during Come Unto Your Maker

>>181562726
I'd like a mix, the bosses are as they are but you still need to build up missions to hunt them ontop of the invites, just make them drop in the others and it would balance out nicely I believe

Hey guys, love the game but wondering if you can help me with modding a few weird design decisions in the game:

1. buffing/healing skills only being usable during combat:
it makes no sense that in one second my vestal or plague doctor can heal blight/bleed and HP and then one second later not be able to do so because they're not fighting something. That's very anti-immersive and gamey, and even a set limit on outside uses would have been better.

2. Resolve XP only awarded on successful quests:
Don't know why the devs thought this would do anything but arbitrarily delay XP progression. It makes no sense: my heroes can fight 9/10 battles well but if I so much as retreat before I finish the last one, or if I fail to get through enough rooms, they are basically in the exact same position as heroes who come out of the stage coach. Ridiculous!

3. Automatically generate gold income for the estate per week so that I don't debt spiral into a situation where I have no money for provisions and have to send my heroes into pitch dark dungeons hoping they'll make a tiny amount of money. It's a punishment that doesn't achieve anything but to waste the player's time.

4. Add a minimum amount of stress reduction for all heroes on every new week. Pretty self-explanatory. Again, given the amount of stress that get thrown at heroes it's unreasonable not to have some basic mechanic in place to ensure the player's time isn't wasted just getting back to the point where he can use his heroes again.

Do you ride your bike with training wheels? Do you wear a bib while you eat?

How many secret doors can you find in the courtyard? per visit?

Can a party in CC get away with having Flag as only healer? I'm thinking if I use a trinket that lowers his max health and keep his bleed on himself, he can use his heal almost every other turn.
I just really want to get the most out of my bounty hunter's new molars, and without a bleed I can't do that.

What's a basic team to use for graverobber to be good?

>>181562586
>killed himself and called you to fix his mess
So whats the thing you fight before the heart of darkness? A horror tailored specifically for you? Its plausible though I'm not really sure what the player character "is" in the sense that you are both a manager and squad leader. Perhaps they just function as your bodyguard as you explore the world and you bolt leaving them to die wherever there is a wipe.

Can I discard the 3 quest items I'm meant to gather after collecting them all and getting Quest Complete!, or will I fuck myself?

>>181541038
Opening Finale broke the game anyway. You instantly take out the most dangerous element in the fight and now you're in a 4v3 situation where stuns and healing make each fight a net gain. Skills like it and the double stuns completely remove attrition from dungeons.

>>181563541
Literally anything.

>>181563276
>Balance.
So the best way to balance the game is to do things that are mechanically incoherent?

>Incentive to complete the mission.
There's already an incentive to complete the mission: quest rewards and story progression.

Need to keep them in your inventory.

>>181562652
As a bit of advice for any comp like this, in champ dungeons you either need +acc trinkets or acc support. If the supporting unit is debuffing (as opposed to buffing) they should probably have a +acc trinket for themselves, and preferably a +debuff trinket.

Second, I'm a big fan of running rank 3 cursader with quick draw charm. It gives the team extra burst damage on the back row and often even lets the crusader one shot skellies before they get to act.

why are some rarer trinkets actually worse than commons?

>>181563794
>Balance
Gameplay trumps logic. The only way to make this logically would be to implement some sort of mana or limited resource mechanic, which would drastically change the game.

>Incentive
More incentive. Simple as that.

How do you play MaA in rank 4?

Rarity denotes impact, not strength.

>>181563794
It just sounds like you are trying to make the game easier and less punishing. But difficulty and punishment are the point of the game. Counterpoints:

>1
What is food?
>2
If you regularly fail quests then you are bad. I hardly ever fail quests.
>3
I've never had a problem managing money because I don't regularly fail quests, I manage my inventory well and only do Medium/Long runs
>4
Idle heroes already get -5 stress so they heal stress over time.

>>181563054
>1.
I'm not really fond of that either but the balance would be royally fucked if you could do it outside of combat. Camping is sorta similar, you can heal and restore stress and stuff outside of combat but you use resources and have a limited number of actions.
>2
well, it is resolve. not experience. resolve is a firm determination, clearing away doubts, dispelling fear, ect. It wouldn't make sense for them to get resolve from running away.
>3.
There is a building that does that but you can easily get 10k+ from one easy run, so it's not really useful. For debt spirals you have the stagecoach constantly supplying fresh bodies that can be sent no provisions into dungeons then fired afterwards, that's pure profit.
>4
The game is meant to encourage you to train multiple teams that can handle hard dungeons because a thing comes up later and you will need a lot more than just one team.

>>181564198
You don't. The trinket is a meme.

>>181564125
>Gameplay trumps logic.
Got nothing to do with it.
>The only way to make this logically would be to implement some sort of mana or limited resource mechanic, which would drastically change the game.
The game already has this in the form of provisions, so what is the big difference?

>More incentive.
Except that's the wrong sort of incentive because it doesn't reward excellent tactical play.

>It does literally what you're asking for: automatic cash flow per week.
That should be a basic mechanic, not an unlockable. Again, having to spend time and resources on this is nothing more than a way of artificially extending play-time and wasting the player's time.

We did it! Thanks for the advice, I definitely need to use my ACC trinkets I actually just got the ACC ring from this quest!

Rank 3 Crusader like that sounds legit

>>181564442
Are you implying excellent tactical play results in a failed mission?

Does the +speed from bard apply to the current round or the following?

>>181563794
1. Eat some rations and take less damage. The game is balanced around not being able to heal out of combat.
2. Just don't fail the quest.
3. Don't mismanage your funds so extremely that you end up bankrupt. Do you also complain about having to grind up a new hero when one dies? That's the price of failure.

>>181564278
>What is food?
An inferior healing item that's mainly used for camping and hunger. It also costs money, while hero abilities don't.

>If you regularly fail quests then you are bad. I hardly ever fail quests.
I have never failed a single quest in the game. Next completely pointless subjective assertion please.

>I've never had a problem managing money because I don't regularly fail quests. I manage my inventory well and only do Medium/Long runs
Good for you. I don't care about your personal experiences. I am literally the best Darkest Dungeon player in the world by the way, so what I'm saying is more accurate than anything you have to say. See how helpful it is to discuss the game in terms of anecdotal evidence?

>>181564676
Initiative (SPD + random number between 1 and 8) is calculated at the beginning of each round and does not change until the next

also it is a Jester, not a bard you faggot

>>181564442
>Got nothing to do with it.
It has everything to do with it. If you go with the logical route then the gameplay suffers because you just casualized the fuck out of it.

>The game already has this in the form of provisions, so what is the big difference?
There are no provisions that heal you or your stress. And don't mention Food, that isn't intended to be used as a healing supplement to actual healing abilities, as they are tied to the hunger mechanic, heal for % amount, making it almost worthless, and limited to 4 rations before the hero is full.

>
Except that's the wrong sort of incentive because it doesn't reward excellent tactical play
Excellent, tactical play would finish a mission and thus reward resolve.

>That should be a basic mechanic, not an unlockable
Why? Your character doesn't own a business in the Hamlet that would generate an income. You arrive with nothing but bodies to sent to their doom and retrieve treasure for you to build up your supplies to increase you chances at those bodies coming out successful.

Alright, where's the camera? I'm being Punk'd, right?

>>181564302
>well, it is resolve. not experience. resolve is a firm determination
Its kinda both. It functions mostly as a mechanic made to limit how quickly the player can gain power otherwise why would the weapons/armor you can wear be limited by it? The blacksmith doesn't give a damn as long as you have the gold but it would completely fuck game balance.

>>181564302
>well, it is resolve. not experience. resolve is a firm determination, clearing away doubts, dispelling fear, ect. It wouldn't make sense for them to get resolve from running away.
That's not very convincing. You're seriously telling me that my hero who has fought and won against any number of monsters in a particular fight should have no more resolve than someone who has never even entered a dungeon?

>>181564649
Excellent tactical play results in won battles, which does not necessarily equate to won missions.

>Just don't fail the quest.
Given that the game involves RNG that is an unacceptable answer. By the basic random nature of the game failure is effectively ensured at some point or another.

>Don't mismanage your funds so extremely that you end up bankrupt. Do you also complain about having to grind up a new hero when one dies? That's the price of failure.
See point 2.

>>181563054
>healing in combat
>literally the biggest crutch in the entire game
>apparently not good enough of a crutch already
I mean sure, giving every character the ability to use one healing or buff skill between fights each seems fine to me, but also nerf every single healing skill to Antiquarian levels.

>>181561938

>You're seriously telling me that my hero who has fought and won against any number of monsters in a particular fight should have no more resolve than someone who has never even entered a dungeon?
Yes.

Someone who's been in there and failed hard enough to run away wouldn't be more determined to go back in than someone freshly arriving hoping for treasure, glory, and adventure, not knowing what exactly they're getting themselves into thus not fearing it as they should.

>>181565785
I've yet to buy the dlc, so I don't have the skins on hand.
Could you post the idle so I can see what can be done with it?

>not actively progressing toward the goal anyway
>not risky in any way
>just leveraging an already advantageous situation to make future fights easier or eliminate the resource loss from a previous costly fight
>healing already exists in the form of camping and consumables but that entire part of the game is largely ignored because people run an occultist or vestal in literally every party and cycle stuns once they're down to 2 enemies until everyone is full health again

Even regular RPGs like Div:OS puts hard limits on how much you can heal in one adventure, while this game doesn't dare touch it because the reddit/tumblr casuals that play it will throw a massive hissy fit just like they did with the Finale nerf.

Thanks, hyper-turbo-casual Anon, you've really helped get me outta the depressed slump I've been in.

>>181566246
This isn't Diablo 2 where you can chug health potions while mostly turning your brain off. In DD unless you are getting crit occultist heals all the time heals cannot keep pace with enemy damage over a long period of time and in many cases you may be punished for healing (Vestal heals HW for 5 then X moves hitting HW for 12 or heavy stress damage vs Vestal stuns X and HW takes no further damage and is eliminated before they can act again). It certainly isn't a crutch in this game.

>>181566168
yeah, thanks anon

Worst thing I can think of is bone commander honestly, arb and occ should be critting often enough to offset the abom transforms. That's a fuck load of dps and potential stuns you've got there otherwise.

Is it possible to get ambushed in the courtyard? It's like DD where you can't, right?

No, no you most certainly cannot get away with flag as your only healer in the courtyard.

any simple draw request?

>>181567086
My vestals have been dying like flies lately. I guess I'll just give up on vestals. When you have occultist+flagellant in the party it's better than having a vestal.
