One day I should do a rant on why DD is best worst game. I love his theme, but eh, he can do so little. Middling damage, but holy shit a HM can do everything. Self-reliant, great skills, great camping skills, stun, attacks backline, stress removal skills, healing skills, defense skill. See, variety! One thing we can all agree though is that Houndmaster is probably the best class. On the other hand, I never got much use out of the Abomination due to stress effects and gimmicky mechanics. I mean, without Graverobber how you deal easily with some bosses like the Cannon? Being a dodge class has its advantages, plus it's very self-reliant and coordinates well with bleeding-causing heroes. Graverobber is one of my favourites, and this shows how different playstyles reward different classes.

Bar the Countess, she was indeed better but hey, giant insectoid abomination I owe the fuck a defense, he was a good pixel man)ĭon't talk shit about mah Graverobber, she's my kind of girl. (and my main Flagellant killed the Countess and got hit by CUYM. Good enough? Worthwile of inclusion in your journey of pain and grind? Furthermore, Shuffle abilities hit him hard, even if not as hard as the Leper. Plus it's Religious (no Abominations in teh party) and you can't bring more than one. All his camping skills are focused on himself, you don't get the awesome Man At Arms stuff here. Redeem and Exsanguinate have big maluses that can fuck you up if you don't use them as emergency measures or to close a fight.

He is a very mediocre damage dealer in most cases if you don't get him below half HP (and even then, it's not good) and in some dungeons (Cove and Ruins) his main damage thing (Bleeding effects) are kinda useless. It can't get Virtues, and Raptorous isn't as good as it sounds. The Flagellant has quite some faults, though. Its only other strength are the scaling heals, also one way to fight against DD's typical death spiral issues. The Flagellant gets stronger more damage it gets, and stress does not affect him too much. The Flagellant's main strength is mostly from the fact that it straight out ignores, by design, the basic problem of DD's combat system: that's an endurance match stacked against you. Loons on the net write crap all the time (Hi, Celerity!).

You 'read' that the Flagellant is OP, the class is 'probably' badly balanced? Play it before judging. I'm gonna defend the Flagellant as a worthwile class.
