New dude's announced. http://www.pcgamer.com/darkest-dungeons-new-hero-revealed-as-the-flagellant/quote:The Flagellant is designed to push the envelope of Darkest Dungeon's Affliction System, the soul-grinding blend of stress, fear, paranoia, and other 'quirks' that can render stoic adventurers psychologically broken and even dangerous to their fellow dungeoneers. Because of his single-minded devotion, he cannot develop a virtue, and he's also restricted to a single affliction called "Rapturous," a form of berserking in which he does damage to both enemies and allies.

I kind of enjoy the fact that the new character is both not a dedicated healer but also promotes Death's Door gambling. It's also a good thing that Red Hook balanced Deaths Door to be capped at what 80% after the Jester Exploits, cause this character would be OP if he could 100% resist it. Now watch it be holy and hate the abomination as well, and I throw my computer out a window.

It would be so much more interesting if they just let religious characters party with Abom. Just add stress penalties and a bunch of custom barks. I want unique character interactions, not a flat out "no, I won't hang out with that guy, he sucks." I wanna see an argument break out between the Flagellant and Abomination. Maybe if they got heated enough, they'd even attack each other. Or maybe they'd reject each others buffs while camping, or refuse to help one another in combat. There's all kinds of cool possibilities.

New class isn't what I thought it'd be, but looks cool nonetheless. I'm a big fan of the Death's Door mechanic, so a class with new ways to interact with it is a definite plus.Bogart posted:Aren't the Faithless / Godfearing perks supposed to affect religiousness, ?

Do you guys pull positive traits off your dudes to minimize the risk of getting a trait you really like replaced? I was wondering if that's a thing.

I'm not sure how I feel about the new class. The risk of being at deaths door is just too great. Sure you might be super strong and just smash the poo poo out of dungeon after dungeon... but one bad roll (and really a max 20% chance to fail isn't a long shot) and however much money and time is wasted. I just really hope the vampire thing is an alternate mode of healing / de-stressing.

Honestly if they're doing this I feel like they need to push the max threshold for the resistance up to say 85-90% explicitly for this guy. He seems like he owns bones though.

The DD buffs are sweet (especially since they replace the usual penalties) but I doubt they're going to make or break the Flagellant, particularly since the healing portion of his kit will work just as well on or off DD. As long as they're just a nice perk instead of a mandatory feature I've got no beef with the idea.

It does feature a +2 speed, so depending on the Flaggs base speed and if he has a self heal (I think so) you might be able to safely play closer to the edge then I'm currently giving credit for.

There are pretty bad stress penalties for hitting Death's Door, though, and considering the Flag has a special affliction that makes him hit friends and foes?

He attacks friendlies? Hmm... I gotta try to have a bit more faith. I know I'm gonna have fun using him, I'm just dubious if he's going to actually be very good. Granted, I haven't even played with em yet, so I'm gonna stop speculating. Don't want to poison my own well.

Nobody else actually damages allies while afflicted, only stresses them out. Masochistic can cause characters to damage themselves, but that's it.

Maybe Plague Doctor and Flagellant will be an awesome combo? PD purges Blight/Bleed, and provides just enough healing to keep the Flagellant alive. They could ride the line of Death's Door to exploit his strength. It's high risk-high reward, but it might be powerful. Flagellant with Martyr's Seal (+75% DMG at Death's Door, +9% CRT at Death's Door, +12% Death Blow Resist, -2 DODGE) may become his go-to trinket. The Unyielding quirk (+10% Death Blow Resist) would also help him a lot, too.

SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:It's neat, but doesn't sound like it'll do anything to balance out current roster dynamics so I'm not jazzes A lot depends on the mechanics behind the "Redeem" skill shown off in the trailer. It shows an insanely meaty double target heal--but he's using it at Death's Door, so I'm guessing there's some kind of interaction that makes those numbers dependent on DD status. If he can function as a competent frontline healer without having to risk random permadeath it would do a lot to open up team comps, but that depends on him having that heal be worthwhile even off of DD.
