Tactic, 4 jesters!?

[Ojiinas]

Just thought about that, have anyone tested 4 Jester dirk stab train?

[Mindmaker]

I'm pretty sure there are better skills for that.

Highwayman and Grave Robber have similar skills (both have one that let's them move back as well).

Highwayman have MUCH higher base damage that is increased even further with pointblank shot and can be rotated with only 2 of them. I think 2 highwayman alternating Pointblank will out damage 4 jesters with dirk spam.

The problem is that you can't reliably control which highwayman goes first. So some turns will lose damage by being forced to use another attack.

Wicked Slice still does more damage than Dirk Stab with a Jester. (or Open Vein or if there are 3 enemies Grapeshot).

If you're trying to use Jesters for damage it's not gonna work.

The big problem with the class balance in this game is that there's a huge disparity in base damage. Jesters average base damage is 5.5 while the Highwayman is 8. (they both have similar crit / speed).

Honestly I love the damage I get on Jester from Harvest. It seems a bit more accurate than Grape Shot, and the bleed is good. The HWM certainly makes some fights easier with loads of damage options, but 4 Jesters certainly could cut the enemy to shreds with multi harvest/slice off bleed stacks. For the most damage output from a party (balanced) both single target and 4 targets you would probably want a HWM, Jester, Leper, Occultist. A Grape Shot, Hew, Harvest, Abysal Artilery would do enourmus amounts of damage. This asumes all attacks hit and Jester's Harvest procs bleed, Otherwise the Hellion Breakthrough in place of Harvest.

On single target (boss) the melee of Occultist is fairly strong (Sacrificial Dagger), HWM is also strong (Open Vain), bosses that are 2x in size can be hit with Slice off from the Jester and nasty bleeding can be stacked, and IF the Leper can hit, he hits hard with all his attacks.

now this is something i'd want to try hahah,

those rabid gnasher dog packs use a simalar tactic and they can be very annoying with their bleeds but are dealt with pretty easily because of their low health, but the jester has more health!

Dirk Train!

3 Bounty Hunters and a Vestral work well.

[Xerkics]

I get the impression that Highwaymen get much better trinkets too or at least all the ones i found for them were insane.

3 plague doctors with damage buff skill + Leper or other warrior class in first position XD - Buff,buff,buff = STRIKE!!! XD

I know.

I was mostly pointing out one of the issues with a highwayman PBS party. All movement parties have this issue to a degree.

I personally prefer movement parties based around saders or GDs.

Pretty sure the main reason to use a 4 jester party is simply because you can, anyhow.

Successfully making your way through a medium dungeon (any difficulty) with four Jesters should be an achievement.

A) For the lawls!

B) A Fool's Errand

C) Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeroy!
