Haven't played this games in years, but why not both? You can easily build the 2 stats to have the best of both worlds
@AKisHerceg6 сағат бұрын
@@alessandrogarofalo9951 You can go for both but in my opinion it’s not worth it. If you invest more into dex as a cunning rogue you would loose so much damage that it wouldn’t worth the hassle to build it. If you put more cunning on a dex rogue, you forgo defense for the sake of a tiny damage buff which also doesn’t worth it in my opinion since the best thing about a dex build is the high defense.

@@mauricewilks1974 They have different uses depending on your class. Warriors have Blood Thirst and Blood Fury. Blood Thirst will improve your critical chance and boosts your attack and movement speed. It also drains your health continuously. Blood Fury is basically an aoe knockback ability. Rogues have Dark Passage and Tainted Blood. Dark Passage is a passive skill that makes you move much faster when you are in Stealth and it also give +5% dodge. Tainted Blade is a sustainable ability. It will drain your health continuously, but it will improve your damage massively based on your Cunning attribute. Finally we have the Mages, with Dark Sustenance and Bloody Grasp. Dark Sustenance will take away some of your health and in exchange it will give you some mana. Bloody Grasp is a simple spirit damage spell, that works on everything, but if you use it against darkspawn, they will also take over-time damage for a shot time.

Your knowledge of this game is truly amazing. I enjoyed this video, too. I have a question, though. I never tested it, so I'm sorry if I'm wrong. When I first played the game, I was told to leave Calain's armour until level 17-18, so the armour is the highest tier it can be. None of the "glitches" to raise the armour tier ever worked for me, so I never risked it.
@AKisHerceg10 күн бұрын
This is pretty much random when it comes to Cailan's armor. It's supposed to scale to your level, so it should be Dragonbone if you enter the area(this is important, the tier will be decided when you enter the area, not when you loot the armor) at level 18 or higher. However sometimes this doesn't work, and you can go there at level 25 and still get Silverite or Red Steel. At least that is my experience. To upgrade the armor, you have to sell it to a merchant, Bodhan for example or Levi at Soldier's Peak, leave the area and go back. It will scale to your level in the Ultimate Edition. You might have to leave and come back a few times, sometimes it won't upgrade immediately. The party storage box can do the same(not sure which version though), but not in the Ultimate Edition, or at least it doesn't work for me. Dragonbone is better, Silverite too, but to be honest, the tier upgrade is not that substantial(the minimum is always the third highest tier so it will always give good armor rating). And it's certainly not worth waiting until you reach level 18 to get your hands on this beauty. So just sell it to a merchant when you reach level 16 (silverite) or 18(dragonbone) and buy it back when it gets upgraded. It's considered a glitch, so I can't do it with this challenge, but you can! :)
@lucadorottyapihaj741310 күн бұрын
@@AKisHerceg, thank you. Yeah, the party storage box didn't work for me either. I'm not sure which edition I have, but I got all the DLC in one, so probably the Ulitame Edition. I will try the merchant glitch in the current playthrough. Thank you again for the in-depth tips and tricks.

Well, first off, Chaotic Focus straight up doesn't work with the Flaming Array upgrade of Fire Mine, so it's useless there. Second, even when I pick the normal Fire Mine, I still wouldn't want to strip 50% of my barrier most of the time for a little damage boost. Sometimes it can work great, especially when you have a great tank and you attack from range, but most of you what see in the video works totally fine as solo build, where unfortunately the last thing I want is to take away a huge chunk of my Barrier. :)

Blackwall, what a legend! Inquisitior was under leveled by 3 and companions were one level lower. I on whim tried fighting Vinsomer on Nightmare with trials (except rub some dirt on it) without any preparation as my dumbass brought a useless lightning element staff with Spirit Rune. Dragon pretty much immediately took out entire party except Blackwall. The Inquisitior is a necromancer with fire mine and ice mine which were largely useless as against Dragons they to trigger as with normal sized enemies. With basic attacks being useless as most damage was from spirit rune and both mines ineffective that only powers that dealt any damage was Immolate and Walking Bomb. Blackwall hard carried me in that fight. It took almost an hour and lost count of number Inquisitior deaths and revives. To my surprise when I was checking Blackwall's accessories the guy didn't have any equipped.
