It's a powerful team, sure, but it's notably short on a few things - most obviously, a way to deal with high PROT enemies other than just wailing on them and doing scratch-damage. I didn't get much farther than 200 kills, and some parts of the journey were PAINFUL. I gave this setup a chance, and it worked, KINDA. after the sleeper there may spawn non unique bosses at the end of a 'chapter' (stress overkill incoming) ( My leper got 80% (max), with quirk, buff and one trinket) The defensiv buffs from the leper and crusader last now the whole fight and make them nearly immune to normal damage. There is a colour that gives you a +15% bonus on virtue The Leper for killing everything coming too close and tanking everything. The crusader for damage and some stress heals (Holy Lance was very helpful in this party) Vestal for some sweet heals and range attacks Jester for stress, some blood damage and the ability to move the crusader from second position to the third.

You'll never do huge damage in one go, but by stacking Blight effects you can end up doing over a dozen damage to an enemy every turn.Originally posted by Esce:I got the 300 kill achievement with: Vestal, Jester, Crusader and a Leper.Īlso I got the townevent for +15% chance for virtue ( very helpful, although it runs out after reaching 200 stress) The Plague Doctor's main priority is keeping their team alive, and if everybody's fine, inflicting various status effects on the bigger enemies that wear them down and tax their Deathblow Resistance saves. Allies struggling to keep their blood inside them? Battlefield Medicine will pick them up. Being attacked at range by artillery-focused foes? Trigger Blinding Gas to cripple their accuracy.

Opposition got their own healers? Throw poison at the back two ranks. Big enemy? Blight them and watch their health drain. Frankly, adventuring without a Plague Doctor feels ridiculous, as their extreme versatility means they have something for every situation. Strategy: The Plague Doctor is your main support class, healing allies of both damage and afflictions while lobbing toxic explosives at the enemy that Blight and Blind them. Pros: Healing, status cures, status afflictions, ranged attacksĬons: Low health, poor front row fighter, does damage over time rather than quicklyĬould be replaced by: Occultist, but not really - the Plague Doctor's too good to swap out
