Whether you value that info is up to you.īoth have good stress-camping options (although Jester still has more even then). I don't think anyone out there would get too far with a HM-only stress-healer due to how it works. generic content), but as much as you may not like it, said 'niche' content shows all their pros/cons in an extended setting. It's less impactful when you have breaks between fights (ie. This is often still better than relying on small/randomized stress-healing, especially when the HM has to sacrifice more turns to compensate/catch-up on a bad day - and while the HM has more preventative measures (stuns/projection/better overall damage), stress is still unavoidable even with the smoothest comps - the crit buff off-sets this by giving everyone more potential rather than the Jester himself dishing out damage (which he can, just not great in a sustained environment). You give everyone crit potential (which is its own stress-healing) and have the potency to handle individuals with absolute ease. As said, I'm not calling out the HM as a bad-shealer or a bad anything - but he's not able to compete due to the sheer on-demand potency + buff - less so now thanks to his balad being so strong on top of it.

I guess buff ballad's extremely-recent buff makes him a bit more appealing but otherwise he's still my least used character in the main dungeons. When it comes to the four main dungeons there are few stress dealers and nearly all of them can be taken out in one round - hence the reason why I'd prefer spread chip S-heal/ability to DP/stun/mark and prot debuff over dedicating a limited class like the jester to S-healing. (I only refer to the Darkest Dungeons when talking about the Jester because he really shines then.) You seem to be focusing a bit too much on the CoM DLC which is a puny fraction of the whole game - when I was making my point about the HM I was addressing regular dungeons, I do not refer to niche dungeons in my points because they're. Meanwhile, CRU/JES just target, press button, job done - JES more-so thanks to potency and buffs, hence he's so common in such a setting. Even a handful of sow-the-seeds on one hero will require attention no matter who you have, and if the HM doesn't luck-out on curing them over time, then it becomes a problem.
