Battle Vestal build?

[DankSlayer]

I ask for advice if it's good or bad, cause I found a trinket that boosts her damage, protection, debuff chance and healing skills when in position 2, where she can only do the mace bash, group heal and two debuffs.



I want to know if this is a good idea to make a combat build for Vestal

Group heal and mace bash are pretty amazing in my opinion. Also any debuff is helpful.

Yeah but she loses the stun skill, the "lifesteal" from Judgement and the stronger single target heal (which is safer than the Occultist's one, seriously sometimes I think this guy is trolling me)

Debuffs are actually beter than stuns because you can only stun ennemies reliably every other turn. Lifesteal is cool but not necessary. Group heal is still better than single target heal just because it heals a lot more net hp (also can take multiple people out of death door).

It all depends how much your trinket buffs these things though. If it a really small boost it's all kinda moot I guess.

It's an odd build, but it can kinda work. The profane scroll has some really fantastic benefits, with minimal drawbacks aside from the positioning thing. You really have to build the rest of your team around her being in slot 2 though.

One option would be to pair her with an Arbalest for extra support healing if needed.

It's a pretty strong trinket:
+15% DMG
+30% Debuff Skill Chance
+10% PROT if in position 2
+33% Healing Skills if in position 2
+15% Stress

[edit2]One crazy idea would be to pair this with the Sacred Scroll. You still have to eat the -3 SPD penalty, but you aren't using stuns anyway, and you boost up to 66% healing and reduce the stress penalty to only 5%.

Well I took her with me hoping that the extra buff to healing from the bandage will help

It's actually quite powerful and something I use a lot. Hand of Light spam can make frontline enemies basically useless, Mace Bash does a good amount of damage, and the group heal is really strong with heal skill buffs. Illumination is meh, it exists and even on a Battle Vestal I rarely ever use it unless it's going to kill the enemy anyway.

The vestal really only has two builds: The backline healbot, and the profane vestal. The backline healbot stacks healing trinkets and heals from the back lines, throwing out a stun or a smite or an illuminate if it's more helpful than a spam. Profane vestals stack a profane scroll with junia's head and spam the aoe heal just as efficiently as backline vestals, and also have possibly the best single-target debuff in the game.
I actually prefer the profane vestal for darkest dungeon runs, as it frees up a back row for more damaging party members.

I personally enjoy a hybrid of these with a GR in the party. If i need extra stuns or a focused heal, i lunge with the GR, otherwise, i spam group heals or debuffs with my Vestal. Also reduces the impact of surprise attacks.
