Both the first healer and the first marvin seo class mod to appear in these posts I am making.

Honestly, Sibyl is one of the best modded classes in the workshop in my opinion. I absolutely love her design, the effects in Sun are so cool, her play style is fun, she is well balanced, she complies with the art style. Can't ask for much more. It's also not like she is one of a few really good class mods, there are so many more modded class of such high quality in the workshop. Sibyl, Sisters, Ringmaster, Resonant, Thorn, Marchioness.... list goes on.

I love running her in blight teams with other modded heroes. In particular, I have really taken to using Sibyl-Exterminator-Exanimate-Matriarch. In ruins and cove, odds are high that the entire enemy team will have 10+ blight by the time I'm done. Also pretty good odds that my entire team may be blighted too, lol. Then Exanimate hits every enemy with Necrosis and combat ends sometimes in one turn, sometimes two. It's one of the teams I have had the most fun using from all the modded teams I've run.

Next three will be the DD2 backports - Duelist, Exanimate and Runaway, in that order.

Link to Bowman's workshop page.

If I had to pick a limited number of class mods to recommend to someone who wants to introduce themselves to modded classes, I think Bowman would be one of those picks. He fits into the art style and is also fairly well balanced. Yeah he can do a ton of damage, but it's also basically the only thing he is good at doing. He does have a solid debuff with limb snipe, but it only lasts 1 round, so you really gotta know exactly when to use that ability to make the most out of it, and it's even less effective against stuff with multiple actions.

He also doesn't clash with the Arbalest much, who offers defensive support. Bowman trades that for offensive support.

Another thing I really like about this guy is that even though literally every single ability he has except for change arsenal does damage, they're all different flavors and fulfill different purposes:

-Sureshot is his most basic attack that also has really good acc, and bypasses guard and stealth to boot.

-Piercing Arrow is obviously for spreading around DoT to everything.

-Vital snipe is a low ACC, high damage and CRIT option.

-Limb Snipe is for debuffing whichever target you wanna debuff.

-Powder Arrow is for damaging every enemy, just like piercing arrow, but does flat damage to everyone but the target rather than applying DoT to everything.

-The Kill acts as a finisher.

All of them are for dealing damage, except Limb Snipe I suppose which is primarily for debuffing, but they all feel distinct enough from one another to not get repetitive.

I think next one I do will either be a healer of some kind, or one of the DD2 backports. If I do the latter, it'd probably be Duelist.
