Im new to Dragon Age, but I think its really fun how each specialisation has lore connections to a faction each. Not that you'd have to strictly adhere to this lore, but its a great addition for in-game story-telling and to flesh your Rook out a little more.

[@drakuro6618]

great video, you got yourself another subscriber. My main gripe in this game is just the Qunari design(I'll just wait for the mod so whatever) and the 3 member party. 3 member only means you're really limited on class choice and who to put in if you want a balance team. 4 would have been great since that means you can have more option to balance a 3 class system. Personally this wouldn't affect me much since my class and companion choice seems to align great, but I wish the party was set to 4

[@Dantics]

I agree, would have prefered 4, but I guess they did some testing and found this works best for them. It does mean more repayability to see companion banter. Thanks for the sub, appreciate it! 🙏

[@SethKyros]

@@akari6859 nope, from what they said so far, they unlock at lvl 20, nothing else required.

[@SethKyros]

@@banjomir519 it seems likely that it worked that way at some point in development, but they probably realized it wa way too restrictive. For example, let's say that from a role play perspective, you want to play your character as a Gray Warden, so you pick the background and now surprise, you can only play as a Champion Warrior. But we all know that there's mages and even some rogues among the Wardens too, so such limitation would be needlessly artificial. On the other hand, creating at least one specialization for every one of the 6 backgrounds, for all 3 classes, would be way too much work and would in turn require specializations to be much more generic and simple to compensate. In the end, it probably just didn't work and thus they settled for what we are getting.

[@allenzelt4481]

@@SethKyros Why even do any restrictions? Why not make you able to use all abilities and do whatever you want?

[@biovalve1410]

I think the magi's arcane shot and destructive light change the damage type and status depending on the type of staff and orb you have equipped. In the mage game play with the dragon it was a fire build but in a previous mage game play it was a necrotic build and they looked different.

[@Dantics]

It doesn't change with weapons but changes with passives and talents :)

One question from the Bioware forum. Are their option for a dps spell-based mage?

[@Dantics]

Of course. There are lots of passives around dealing more damage.

[@prodtetch]

The evoker spec is probably the closest to a dps build. Spellblades have damage over time, and death callers focus on health siphoning & necrotic damage

[@julilla1]

It seems like that's what dagger and orb is.

[@mellowthm566]

Evoker looks like CC with large spikes in damage and more regular dpr. It looks like you could do affliction dpr or dps builds as long as you gear up and build your character right. Looks like a deal of build depth going on. But with spell blade and the mana Regen skills+Shadow blade it will likely depend on cooldown reduction

question. could i be an evoker mage but still focus more on lightning? i like lightning magic but dont like the melee aspect of spellblade

[@СашаВольский-л1к]

There are passives that provide synergy between Evoker and non-Frost spells like Elemental Conduit (showcased in recent Blighted Dragon video) or Shatter or passive that increases all damage against frozen enemies. As such, it should be possible to have non-Frost Evoker builds too. There are also 3 non-Spellblade active lightning abilities to fill the slots. No ultimate though, it is Spellblade only.

[@prodtetch]

Yes

@@СашаВольский-л1к thank you!!!!!

[@akari6859]

I have mixed feelings. The VFX of mage spells look great and combat after all looks funny as hell, but on the other hand, some of the skills for other classes seem really over-the-top. I also wonder if there will be any explanation for how the skills actually work. Like, for example, the Reaper tornado-suddenly, is everyone a mage now? Or maybe they will explain it with enchanted weapons? Also, it's obvious that each specialization is connected to various factions, so I hope it will work like gaining a specialization in Inquisition and that there will be specialization dialogues with companions.

[@nojusticenetwork9309]

Mages have never had a monopoly on magical/supernatural abilities. Rogue and Warrior have always had a touch of magic to varying degrees both in game and in lore. Enchanted weapons and runes are certainly some of the ways they can do it but there are others. Templars: use Lyrium to give them the ability to be the bane of both demons and mages. Reavers: Drink the blood of dragons or wyverns to grant them mystical power and feed on death Seekers & Fade Warriors: use spirits to grant them their abilities. Tempest Rogue: alchemical concoctions grant them a variety of abilities. Artificers: use of bombs and gadgets. For Veilguard, the Reaper Warrior is tied to the Mournwatch/Deathcallers (I forget what they're called) but they deal with necromancy and spirits. Maybe the Reaper's abilities are tied to calling out spirits to fight with them.

[@MrOzzi18]

You can use any element you want, you just get more spells geared towards that specialization.

[@mellowthm566]

You can use all elements, just not the class locked abilities (which have an associated element). The latest dragon trailer shows a mage using ice, electricity, and fire as a spellblade. Spellblade even has specific synergy with burning effects. Some of the skills are built into your melee combos rather than active abilities as well

[@Phoenix71021]

Clearly reading/watching comprehension is not your strong suit....

[@SethKyros]

There's 3 ice spells, 3 fire ones, 3 electricity ones and 1 necrotic spell as part of the normal unlockable nodes for the mage class. Then there's 1 extra ice spell that requires the Evoker specialization, 1 electricity spell requiring Spellblade and 1 necrotic spell that belongs to the Death Caller. For the most part, you're free to pick whatever spells you want, although certain specializations have passives and synergies with certain spells/elements. For example, the Spellblade has great synergy combining fire and electricity spells, with passives that help them improve both, allowing them to quickly stack shock/burning and arcane bombs even with those skills, allowing for great chain reactions. And it just so happens that fire and electricity are the spells in the way to unlock the Spellblade.

I see it more as being able of playing somewhat alike the Specialization you want to before getting to it, creating a sense of "development", if that makes sense?

Just show the skills in a 3 min video….

Thank you for confirming something that was bugging me. And for saving me $500 something dollars. I will not be getting veilguard for their utter lack of respect for the lore of magic in dragon age.

[@Dantics]

That's fair. What is $500 dollars though? Also if you're talking about magic, the veil has been almost dropped. Magic is leaking out everywhere.

[@dylanmiller6169]

@@Dantics 400 something for the PS5 70 for the game. LEVEL 1 as in the prologue, before Solas's plan should be having any effect. Would a person who has never known magic really be able to to safely use or even be comfortable with magic? Especially when mages before this event spent years learning how to safely use their powers, and I am not just talking about demons. In DAO mage prologue we see a student set himself on fire while practicing. Then there are the various horror stories that rook would have heard even in Tevinter, things like kids setting their house on because of a nightmare or other magical accidents from heightened emotions. Let's not forget about the breach, it was basically the same thing, yet even in the future where it covers the sky basically the same thing still no martial was using magic. Just because magic I more abundant doesn't mean it is easier to control. Edit; if that static blade wasn't the first ability rouges got or it was only allowed by a special weapon or rune you get from your faction, I would be fine. But no it is apparently such a common skill for a non mage to use and control magic you question the prejudice mages suffer in the south.

the return of the duel weilding duelist not handcuffed to two puny daggers. give them to the mage

[@samflood5631]

I’m pretty sure the Rogue Class in Veilguard can have the ability to duel wield swords, or short swords.

[@cipher4e]

@@samflood5631 looks like it. i was just making a joke about da2 and dai locking rogues to bows or daggers

[@RandomWandrer]

Definitely a Duelist to start with.

[@mr.gwinblade9263]

Rogue lgtm, but mage is straight garbage, even worse then DAI version. skip

Warrior seems overwhelmingly more fun compared to others. Rogue looks really dull which is unfortunute since in inqusition, rogue specilizations were seriously unique and game changing. Mage is mage. Only way to make mage better in any rpg is adding more and more VFX.

[@axyramariel7557]

Why do I have the feeling that the game was originally built entirely on auto attacks/dodges + ult - and then suddenly added skills and companions? Just a 60 sec cooldown on 1 of 3 buttons... and this is not even an ult... A wall of fire that deals damage like an auto attack - but it is not a field, and mobs will not stand in it. A pinpoint attack, the whole point of which is detonation. Chain lightning that gives the same result as a couple of swings of a dagger - again a primer and nothing more. I just mean that the combat looks like 7/10 + ult sometimes. And the skills are like a dog's fifth leg - generally useless, but you can do a combo a couple of times a minute.

[@Konrad_2003]

Because, it's exactly what you described. If I'm not mistaken, Veilguard started as an mmo, then they switched to a live service game, just to finally switch to a single player game. That's practically the main reason there are many things going wrong with the game. It's like grabbing a text in English, translating it to Turkish, then Chinese, and then again into English, the text will come out wrong lol

[@axyramariel7557]

@@Konrad_2003 Well, shit. Didn't they already step on this rake when developing Inquisition?

[@afrolx]

When they discarded the MMO project it was on pre-production still. There's absolutely no way they had any sort of combat ready by then (and they've said the new iteration is vastly different from the one before).

[@vita2748]

With the inclusive tio surgery option, gender and pronouns choice in character creation, I'm gonna build the most chad looking bearded straight warrior man. Just to feel like players like me still exist. Yep I'm definitely crying with this small d energy.

[@Dantics]

You're valid man. Im doing the same and my d is fantastic.

Damn this game sucks
