using the Kitchen Knives in the Foetor – or rely on a Plague Doctor’s Ounce of prevention to counter the majority of the loss. If you’re lucky, you can offset the penalties on a Biome-by-Biome basis – e.g. No amount of Trinketing is really going to offset the lost resistances across the board, so keeping Dodge up with Razor’s Wit or keeping enemies Taunted with a Hellion or Leper can go a long way towards keeping your Jester safe. Prefer to use your Jester as support? Clenching Claws will keep him in his place while he buffs the party. Prefer to dance through the lines while you deal damage? Try the Grim Mask to strengthen your blade. Like Bleeding monsters dry? Grab a Corrupted Bile Gland.

Since the Virtuoso Path penalizes neither Bleeds nor damage, this path can support any Jester playstyle you normally enjoy. The Path’s increased Speed is useful for first strike tactics but the HP buff, while helpful, is somewhat offset by the Jester’s extreme vulnerability to DOTs. Virtuoso Jesters have a chance to negate Stress damage to their allies, further amplifying their usual Stress control capabilities and occasionally sparing them a turn of maintenance work. The price is a reduced Bleed, Blight, and Burn resistance, however.

The Virtuoso boasts improved stress healing and resistance, higher speed, and larger health pool. The Virtuoso Path utilizes the Jester’s musical acumen to soothe the party and keep meltdowns at bay.
