Description
Main Concept

This Rework aims to transform the rank 3 dependant Jester into a Dancer. He will bring support through buff, debuff and shuffle but is also a real offensive power !

Overall

Jester base stats have not been changed, but some of his gimmicks have been tweaked. Final Buff are now bigger (60% instead of 30%) but only last for 3 rounds instead of 7, this means this move should be considered even for non boss fight (especially since it stress heal allies on kill). Jester also now have a unique riposte that inflict no damage, but buff final each time he is targeted. In endless all the battle limited skills refresh each wave

I liked this rework a lot and i will be using your other character ones from this day onward! Haha, the only thing i can say to improve is Battle Ballad, since it only works with dancer teams, i will not be using it at all, sadly :(. But overall it is good!

@Lavahit Yes the riposte has no offensive abilityies (0 dmg and 0 acc), it may hit through the hidden 5% chance to hit built in game but that's about it. The goal of the riposte is to only give a +final dmg per enemies that target Jester
Lavahit 5 Sep, 2023 @ 8:11am 
The riposte always missed or is being dodged. The only thing it does is give the jester a damage buff to his Finale.
It was done maybe cause he could not passively get that buff

wheres the riposte coming from?
giving jester riposte sounds super op also it gives 1 block and 20 dogde lol
jester allready has the highest base dogde of all classes. giving block and riposte is nobrainer op in my op.

I get this is not satisfying seeing people deviate from your original vision of Jester's playstyle but please don't this the wrong way.I used your vestal and antiquarian reworks and they are the tightest shit I have seen.
You made characters more intresting than before which is way I picked modding in the first place. This is the beauty of modding. Anyone can tailor everything to their satisfaction.
I happen to have a lot of modded characters that ain't the most mobile of the bunch and jester was sidelined because of this. Now I can enjoy more comps with this.
Thanks again for the help Pepper!

Battle Ballad shuffle is a necessary drawback for the amazing stats it gives. Even in full dance teams it will lead to some bad shuffles from time to time. It is meant to be gimmick and not his main option. But balance talk aside :

It will be cleaner if you go into heroes\jester\jester.info and delete the "pepper Jester Shuffle Party" in the five lines of .id "battle_ballad" (from level 0 to 4). This will also change the description of the skill

Ok I tried the mod, so far is has been good, but the biggest thing that guts most of my comps is the shuffle group mechanic on Battle Ballad and I need to remove it.
By going into effects/Jesterrework.effects.darkest and removing the line of Battle Ballad:
effect: .name "pepper Jester Shuffle Party" .target "target" .shuffleparty .chance 500%% .on_hit true .on_miss false .apply_once true .queue true , is that going to remove the effect?
And if it works, how can I rename the Battle Ballad's description to not include the 'Shuffle Group' part.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It's never too late ! So for this you are going to need to go inside the xml of the mod (that you can find in Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\262060\2593110230\ocalization), and remove " <entry id="combat_skill_name_jester_dirk_stab"><![CDATA[Heel Puncture]]></entry>" in the language you use. Then you need to run the xml with the localization.exe that you can find in Steam\steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon\_windows. And tada, it should have created a loc file that you just need to place in the loc folder of the mod

I know i'm kinda late, but what files from the mod i need to change to rename Heel Puncture back to dirk stab?

Great mod btw, love the charming notes ability

I mean I don't think it's getting railroaded. You can use a lot of heroes which can accomplish many things in different ranks : Grave Robber, Hound Master, Antiquarian, Occultist, Shieldbreaker and crusader are all heroes that can do many things in any ranks.

Lot of skills require specific team building in vanilla as well. Biggest one is lunge, but also simply holy lance limits heavily which heroes can be in rank 2 or 3 of your team. That's for the reasoning, but of course you don't necessarily have to like it. I encourage you to change the skill back to its vanilla counterpart, or simply remove the shuffle if you want, it's really easy to do.
