The Ringmaster Class Mod

"The Ringmaster demands a challenger!"

Charismatic. Enigmatic. Barbaric. The Ringmaster leads The Butcher's Circus with a gleeful grin and an iron fist, with her unique set of skills able to delight and dismay in equal measure. Many have tried to usurp her, and none have lived long enough to regret it - much to the glee of the bloodthirsty rabble.





The Ringmaster is a versatile and dynamic addition to any party, comfortable anywhere on the battlefield. She can bestow buffs upon her allies, or rain down blows upon her foes, all while entertaining the crowd and everyone around her.

• All skills uniquely animated and with original sounds
  
• Custom virtue & affliction! You won't like her when she's angry...
  
• Adds an evolving quirk for fame-seekers who crave the spotlight
  
• 9 new trinkets, and single-player variants of all 103 Butcher's Circus PvP trinkets!
  
• Town events with hamlet sprites and ancestor voiceover
  
• Hundreds of dialogue lines, many from your favourite modded classes!

Barbaric (75%)
Increased DMG and SPD, but decreased dodge and stress relief skills. She will very frequently attack her teammates, raise the stakes, and perform random actions. You won't like her when she's angry...


Exultant (25%)
Large boost to CRT chance, and her crits stress heal others for more. She will sometimes stress heal the party and bestow a guaranteed critical hit buff on an ally. When attacked, she has been known to brutally retaliate in spectacular fashion. A sight to behold...



This mod also comes bundled with single-player variants of all 103 Butcher's Circus PvP trinkets! These are obtained using her camp skill - a great reason to bring her on longer missions. Can you collect them all?

Check out the 'Singleplayer Circus Trinkets' mod page to see what trinkets you might win:


Don't like the PvP trinkets? Game breaking because of too many mods? Try the LITE version: it removes the 103 butcher's trinkets from the mod, and her camp skill grants a random trinket instead.

"Is Fan Favourite bugged? There is no buff icon!"

The buff icon is hidden. If you mouseover the character stats you will see that the buff is working as intended.

"Does this mod conflict with any other mods?"

No.

"Does this mod have any dependencies?"

None.

"Not even the Singleplayer Circus Trinkets mod?"

Nope. Its trinkets have been ported across and are included as part of this mod, but consider subscribing if you'd also like the option to obtain these trinkets from the Nomad Wagon.

"What district does she use?"

The Performance Hall.

"Any party class restrictions?"

None! She can team up with any class. Many modded classes even have unique dialogue written just for her by their creators!

"Can I use multiple Ringmasters in a party?"

No. Limit 1 per party.

"What is her crit effect?"

She gains +40% Stress Relief Skills when she crits.

"Does she have a special low health effect?"

Yes! She gains riposte while below 40% HP. At death's door she has an uncanny resilience to bleed & blight, and her riposte damage is boosted. She will not go down without a fight.

"Anything I should know?"

A side-effect of custom afflictions/virtues is that Virtue Chance becomes fixed; items that alter Virtue Chance will have no affect on the Ringmaster.
