Fulfills a lot of roles including secondary healer and stunner. And can reposition and do heavy damage with lance. Can also hit hard from the front line or hit 2 targets. Has a very useful Stun and can stack Stun chance trinkets to stun even stun resistant enemies. I often trade out Highwayman for another hero depending what's available in town though.Ĭrusader - solid front line tank that can heal another member nearly as well as Vestal after like 1? guild upgrade (4-4 vs vestal somewhere around 4-6?). And he's got great crit or bleed options depending on what you're facing. Highwayman - great for repositioning if pushed by enemy team, great dmg from front row vs front row, can advance while striking at enemy back line or fire at enemy row 3. Or PD can save them with a small heal and bleed/blight remove. In dire situations if Occ fails to get someone off death's door the Crusader can usually back him up later in the round with a sure heal.

His hexes can take bosses or large, tough creatures to -70% dmg or worse or lock down enemies with high dodge. Occ can also hit both of the enemy backline or pull (though I rarely take this skill) or stun (don't tend to take this either). Occultist feels like the 'best' healer, as he can do around double the heal of Vestal, who just can't seem to keep up with heavy dmg to the party. Can heal and cure blight or bleed if I have large stacks of these worth getting rid of, and can either take backline stun skill or Emboldening Vapors other damage dealing heroes to get through a front line or waste my turn. Can also blight the front line if they are tough enemies. I find PD to be vastly superior from the back line to Gravedigger, with the ability to pretty much blight kill the enemy back line in 2 rounds. I'd like to hear the sort of parties people enjoy in what positions (or rotating positions).Īny favorite classes? multiple same class combinations? or classes you find to be good for specific tasks?īasic party - Plague Doctor, Occultist, Highwayman, Crusader I've gone back several pages of threads and am surprised not to see any threads to discuss party make-up that people like using.
