The Bulwark Class Mod

Description
Devotion is a potent stimulant, and for some its effects manifest in barbaric ways. Broad, savage, and inhumanly strong, the Bulwark is a dual mode support/damage hero, who can enter a trance-like bloodthirst to crush and brutalise the enemies found within the dungeon. Though she is typically unwilling to maintain it for long, at times her rage lasts for such lengths her own allies are shaken and in awe of her might.

Weerax yeah it's a bug where it stays "active" but actually isn't, someone in the dd discord funnily enough has the knowledge of a fix so hopefully it shall be rectified soonish !

Sketchx12 I have never heard of this, but I do see the resemblance ! The main inspiration I'd say is a mix of the Thrall by marvinseo and those dual shields from dark souls 2, can't remember their name

GravitWry it isn't ! Just thought a big poisonous claw would be cool and that was what the artist Terk came up with

I have a question, is the 'Vile Claw' based off anything.. specific?

Needle claws are quite common- Okay well.. """common""" but common enough for me to ask if its based on a specific character.

Is the aesthetic based off of the protagonist from the unrealeased game Sealbreakers? It looks exactly like him

I've tested the hero yesterday in a couple of dungeons and her riposte doesn't work for me while she's agitated - first turn guard, second turn agitated, so the riposte stays but the fish people did not get a smackback. Am I missing something or is this how it is supposed to work? If she can't riposte in agitated, maybe put in some text on the tooltip or make going angry clear the riposte altogether.

I do not have astronomer, I know that on is funny with riposte on modded heroes, so it's not that.

"forced grace" is a hilarious concept for a skill.
