Afflicted heroes will also comment on actions during combat, causing stress to the party when they or an ally are attacked, or when an ally attacks. This action ranges from a random skill, to moving forward or backward, to passing a turn altogether. Afflicted heroes will suffer severe stat penalties, and have a chance to be able to act on their own at the start of their turn.
Plus his big heals have insanely good scaling.An Affliction is one of the states a hero can enter upon reaching 100 stress, the other being a Virtue. He's not quite as good at high levels because his damage does not scale well, but not so much to make him obsolete. Reclaim is pretty bad too unless you want to run a back row healer gimmick (you shouldn't, but you can if you want to.) Rain of Sorrows is ridiculously terrible, but you can bring it if you're desperate to have a way to do chip damage to the rearmost position. Periodically swap in Endure to help manage stress. Use Suffer tactically to save vulnerable party members from bleed/blight/mark while diverting damage to him that he'll just heal off with Exsang/Redeem effectively for free. Spam attacks until he gets under half health, then bust out Exsanguinate/Redeem to fill him back up while also delivering a super-powerful bleed or heal.
His basic attack is quite good as long as you keep him away from the Ruins/Cove where bleed resist abounds. He's a pretty strong self-sustaining damage dealer / off-tank who can occasionally deliver huge burst heal.
