i think she is very good and pretty fun too

I love this absolute contrast. Zorlond: OP too stronk for their intended purpose. chad4hale: This character is ass. They need buffs.

By herself in isolation, or with vanilla, not OP. But unfortunately, mixed with any class that builds stress easily either as a downside to their normal strength (such as Thrall or Sisters), or as a means to increase their strength (such as Celt or Keeper), this class breaks balance. Calm Mind buff for an entire battle? Thrall no longer risks ever going berserk on the party. Celt can hit 75 stress and stay near there indefinitely.

Just a rather unfortunate, likely unintended, circumstance. I normally love cross-class cooperation. But this just can't go in my roster without breaking the game.

i tried her twice, was very dissapointed with her damage, and stuns. Buff her so she is on par with jester please, maybe a little stronger even.

@Krise Thank you for the thorough instructions m8.

Ah yes, a pokemon

Thank you @Krise

For anyone wanting to remove the stun on her stress heal: Go to <Path-to-your-steam>\steamapps\workshop\content\262060\1834134425\heroes\soothsayer, then open the file soothsayer.info.darkest with a text editor and remove the text "sooth_stunlow" from all levels of her stress healing skill (the first skill)

hey I like this mod a lot, but the stun on the stress heal is totally unnecessary and rather excessive in a game like this. If you *really* feel the need for it to have some kind of debuff so as to match the vision you have for this character you might wanna consider aiming somewhere else (although IMO the fact that you're spending a turn to stress heal a single target, while also gaining a considerable amount of stress yourself, seems like a fair trade off from a balance perspective).

@LokiLaufey
I tried for long time and yess... it is balanced imo
Thank you for this hard work :)

Is there any chance to get this class without the chance to stun on own party members? DD has a severe lack of stress healers and this class is a really cool addtion, but the downside of stunning your own party with the stress heal is simply too intense.

the character sketch itself looks fitting to the game, i guess u used Antiquarian as a blueprint. But you can work on animations. They dont feel too smooth. Two of them have the same animation for instance.
I like the skillset though. Interesting hero. And i appreciate you didnt try to make another OP class out there. If i were you, i would boost future sight a little bit. And i agree, shattered psyche could be armor piercing, makes sense.
Good work overall, i hope you will do better ones in future.

@diziothevoice It was an idea I had in mind before, but never implemented it, I think the class is enough balanced as it is now.

@Balgin Yeah it's a small details I liked to add, even if I confuse people with it :P

I really like your mod but why not buff her a little with armor piercing?
Afterall it's a psychic attack ^^
However my vote is 95/100
Great class mod

That is intentional Balgin

She appears to have a localisation conflict. The name of her psychosis affliction is flickering which means it's in conflict with something else within the same mod.

good job! bro! i like it

This is a really cool concept and I like the general idea. After playing quite extensively with the class, I find myself returning to other stress healers because the class has too significant downsides and lack of versatility.

The Soothsayer has a decent stress heal, but with a moderate chance to stun your own party member. The stress reduction buff is powerful, but it makes the stun chance so significant that you should not stress heal the person with the buff. If the soothsayer unloads the stress there's a risk for bleed. She's also a bit of a two-trick pony, do some damage or some stress heal (and it's either-or). There's not much else going on because the stun chance on confusion doesn't scale well. Compared to the Jester or Houndmaster she's just not quite there.

I would tweak her with either less downsides, more versatility or more punch. The idea is excellent but I end up relying on the other classes for serious runs, and I feel this class is almost a significant contender.

This class is simple, intuitive, and very fun to play. Thank you.

Update:
-New Combat animation by Anonymous Koala
-Fixed graphic bug with new trinkets

Casandra's Head is just a tiny white box when I got it from a Collector fight.

-Added Collector's Head and Sunward Isles Trinkets

COLLECTOR:
-Casandra's Head:
* +50% Stress healing recieved If Stress > 50
* +7 ACC If Stress > 40
* +7 DODGE If Stress > 40
* +25% Stress

SUNWARD ISLES:
-Arrow Of Miko
* Prevents Nighttime ambush
* +50% Armor Piercing
* -30% Bleed Resist

@crimsonflower Yes, Psyshock is her strongest skill, because the idea is that she can always uses it as her default attack, the thing is that you cannot spam it constantly since your soothsayer is supposedly there to be a stress healer. So you will probably spent many of her turns absorbing stress and then releasing it using Shattered Psyche

@Anonimous_Koala I'm glad you liked it!

I can tell from across the room that this is great: the looks and theme fit the game, and fills a the underused niche of casters in robes (there is only the Occultist out there)

I really like her, I just think her psyshock could be a bit too strong. Shattered psyche has atleast a downside of getting a bleed dot. But psyshock has no downside and also deals full damage even without stress buff.

Really cool class mechanics! I've been really enjoying Soothsayer

Small Update:
-Now the CC set gives a +25% Stress Healing Recieved
-Now Dream Eater gives +33% Stress Healing Recieved (2 Rounds)
-Now Calm Mind cures Horror

@Xilors Hi, thanks for the comment. When I created the soothsayer I wanted to fill the role of stress-healer, which almost no other class fills except for the Jester.

Because her role is to be a stress-healer is that her skills are focused around that, Calm Mind helps to reduce the stress intake, and Miracle Eye helps the team to land Crits which heal stress, and there's also the trinkets and camp skill that make her heal more stress.
But beside that I agree that dream eater could be improved and I had an idea for a long time of giving it an extra buff, so maybe in the next update I will include it

I really like the idea of a stress healer class and i fell like an interesting one is absolutely lacking in the game.

That said for a class mod centered arround stress heal, her stress heal is way too weak, the amount of stress healed is simply too little while she get too much stress from it and on top of that it has a good chance of stunning her ally!

She is very unique and interesting, and the artwork is great, but why play her instead of flageallant or jester that does the same job with more flexibility?

-Fixed bug with CoM Trinket, it should give horror correctly now!

-Fixed some localization lines that where missing

Added Russian language ( Now the rest of the languages show english text )

@Nope.avi Thanks for letting me know about bugs! If any other find blue text please try to remember what it said so I can replace that missing text. About the weird effect in the Psychosis affliction is done on purpose, a little details to represent her broken state of mind.

Um, there seems to be an issue with some of its Barks, has blue text after going Psychosis. Also, Psychosis is also wrongly spelled when she got afflicted by it.

Really good mod

Spine is a resource for 2D animation that a lot of games (Pokemon, Death's Gambit to name a few) utilize to make 2D Animations. It's 300 Dollars and isn't the most intuitive tool to use and using it is rather tricky and takes time to animate. Custom Animations are the most expensive when it comes to the labor and time to takes to do it. You got to take a step back and realize that modding is a hobby that can get very expensive if you're wanting the kind of quality that the base game or modded classes like MS Falconer provides.

@Trufflemonk

@Trufflemonk As far as I know, and I might be wrong, there is one specific piece of software called Spine which is REALLY expensive and also the ONLY software able to create or edit Darkest Dungeon animations- really gives you another level of appreciation for fully custom classes, haha.
And as PalmTree said, good-quality art software is expensive too, but at least with those you can often find cheaper or free alternatives that work just as well for Darkest Dungeon, unlike with Spine unfortunately.

@Trufflemunk the programs and software required to make stuff like original skins and animations (like Photoshop, for example) are all pretty expensive.

Wait, why you need money to make animations? Is it about some sort of expensive software?

@Trufflemonk Not lazy, It's just that I don't have the U$S300 needed to create new animations

*Yuki* Yeah it basically the skin of the Antiquarian with a few changes

@Gan Edhen Thanks dude! I already have a sketch of how the comic will be, if I have time I will finish it someday :P

@Rafflesia I mean ...yeah, and there is a reason why people say that the flagellant is kinda OP.

If it's true, maybe author got lazy...

she kinda looks like she originally was a skin for antiquarian. Is it true?

You have the art style down perfectly. I hope you draw a nice character background comic one day

This looks amazing

@Rafflesia, then isn't a Leper's Chop just a worster version of Crusader's Smite?
Then isn't any other target stress heal just some version of Jester's?
