Mr Pepper’s Abomination Rework by Mr.Pepper

The main objective of this rework is to push Abomination to alternate between his forms depending on the fight, even rewarding transforming mid combat. Human form is focused around utility with a stun, pull and stress heal while Beast has damage, but also brings counters to many situations (shuffle, stealth, mark, stun...). The days of transforming Abomination for a single skill are over. However once transformed Abomination can't return to his human form till the combat ends, forcing the player to play aggressively if he doesn't want Abomination to become afflicted.

The Choir Hunter by MoonKanin, Rehtael, Shay

"A wandering sister in search of knowledge."

Based on the Choir Hunter from Bloodborne, the Choir Hunter can be used to torment enemies or to keep your allies fighting. Having the abilities to inflict bleed and stun while being able to clear enemy stun in return for massive damage and simultaneously heal allies makes them a strong addition to any party.

Darkest Dungeon is coming to Xbox Game Pass For PC next week

Microsoft have announced the next handful of games coming to Xbox Game Pass For PC, and one of my absolute faves is on the list. The gloomy turn-based roguelike Darkest Dungeon will be available on the subscription service on June 10th; an excellent chance for players who might've missed it to give it a go before the sequel launches later this year. On June 8th, the raccoon detective game Backbone is hitting the service too.

Mr Pepper’s Antiquarian Rework by Mr.Pepper

This Rework aims to remove Antiquarian dodge cheese gimmick and instead solidify her in a support role, capable of acting like a solo healer. She mainly interacts with her own party, by curing negative effects, giving stealth, reshuffling other heroes or even buffing damage. She is also able to mess with the enemy party with shuffle and stumble, debuff or simply blights.

Since antiquarian will not be able to prevent as much dmg as she used to (through dodge buff and Acc debuff) she has been given a +5 dodge and +1 speed at every levels. This should help her to survive more easily despite having the lowest hp in the game and to outspeed her own teammates to make her support skills more valuable. Antiquarian’s passives have not been changed.

The Owlwing by 54NBB, Sasiji, MetalGy, RefinedTurtleFlesh, Cat

In recent days, after nightfall, there are several subdued criminals or their bodies at the entrance of the police station in town. A few frightened witnesses claim they saw a hybrid monster, both owl and human, that delivered these criminals...
A few days later, the “monster” found you on a fateful night - a man who said that his work coincided with your great cause, and that he was willing to join.

Owlwing is a Damage dealer used to hurting and finishing weakened or exposed enemies. He has the tools to inflict these debilitations by himself, as well as bonuses to fighting while stealthed. When out in the open, he can riposte as well.

[h3]”Let me share with you the terrible wonders I have come to know...”[/h3]

The Esquire Class Conversion by Roderick

By popular vote, the Esquire has arrived at the Hamlet! Corrupted to his very core with the Crimson Court, he has come with an insatiable thirst for blood, and cares little as to where he gets it. With saber, smoothbore, and the monsterous form he keeps thinly veiled, he has plenty of reliable means to draw out his sustenance.

The Esquire is a highly mobile transformation class, that specializes in high damage and manipulating the enemies' movement.

The Magus by Psyberry

Hailing from a faraway City, the Magus has a strong connection to the planet. She can hear its whispers and tap into the dormant energy it provides.
Though she has a kind heart, her entanglement with the planet itself brought with it awareness—and at times corruption—as the planet itself suffered under the effect of the Heart of Darkness.

The Magus is a suitable support class with excellent diversity in the roles she can fill. As the quest goes on, she gathers more and more power with her Magna Vis ability. Keep in mind that massive/immediate healing is the only support role she may need some backup for.

KCC’s Observer Trinkets by Zifr

Gemstar’s Cut: Crusader by Uncanny Gemstar

This crusader rework is intended to be a boost towards the supportive options available to crusader, as well as making him generally more flexible. While a consistent option in base game, he feels somewhat lackluster at performing offensively or supportively solely, outside of the very powerful Holy Lance. This hopes to rebalance crusaders support skills to be more useful compared to vestal, and to buff his less-used skills. Additionally, to make holy lance less powerful and more internally consistent.
