Is the Abomination Good?

[Ashy]

I'm not sure if I'm using him right or he just might not be that great (because I generally don't use Abomination)

He has the best self-heal in the game.

it is ok....Its a Leper with reach and stun AND a DOT but it stresses people out....

[Jingseng]

You should describe what you are doing with him, etc... because otherwise, no one can give you any advice =p

He's nice for reliable stunning and mid aoe blight... his transformation does increasing aoe front melee, but you'd want to watch who you pair him with in that sitution.

Generally keep him in position 1 or 2; in position 1 he's basically a very durable unit until you need to unleash him for dps.

Only if you transform him.
Which is not a thing you have to do.
Human-only Abomination is 100% viable.

He's arguably one of the strongest classes in the game. The only drawback is the religous restriction (specifically the Vestal).

I typically use Abomination in the second or third slots, sometimes first. I typically don't transform him until I reach really difficult enemies (which I haven't done often because I don't bring him on high level missions because of religious restrictions). But when he is transformed I try to use Rake as much as possible and sometimes Rage.

He's a hero so yes, he's one of the good guys.

I love the Abomination, (he reminds me a lot of myself) I just dont like how most of the reliable healers refuse to go with him.

Hey there's the Occultist and Arbalest, slam them together in a party with the Abomination and another hero and bam. Good set for what I've seen so far...

Speaking as a new player who's about to try out an Abomination for the first time in their next adventure (and hasn't read the rest of the thread, FWIW) - why not just try them out? That's the fun part - you can throw a rookie adventurer at a rookie adventure at any point, let the dungeon weed out the weak and reward the strong. Give him a chance, see how he works in your team. Aside from the three others who have to put up with him, nobody else is hurt.

He is good, if you don't mind healing with the occultist.
He might be even better in Crimson Court, where there is a 3rd healer, but I haven't played the DLC yet.

The third healer also refuses to go with him.

[Ghaleon]

as mentioned he has the best self heal in the game. So the need for bringing a healer with him isn't really large. As for how good he is. I think he's pretty good but not 'teh bestzors'.
