So I Tried The Captain America Build! - Dragon Age Veilguard Warrior Build Guide (Abilities, Gear)

[@norzza]

What's you're favourite warrior spec?

[@mrjosh92100]

I haven’t played Veilguard enough to say BUT in DA:Inquisition I would always make hilariously broken tank builds! where my character and Blackwalls skills stacked together in a way that made me and my party more or less invincible! Dual champions just buffing defense to outlast even the strongest Dragons and bosses lol

[@KungFuHustling]

@@mrjosh92100 ah, fellow man of culture

[@micdy7104]

i will try champion

[@jeerafe3461]

i play two handed mace with max stagger, i m having so much fun

[@gamerforever2007]

this is hands down the most damaging build I'm hitting mobs and mini bosses for the dmg cap which I'm guessing is 9,999

[@williamthomas4617]

12 hours in and already loving this game… so excited and happy

[@k1ndr3dspirits]

Been having a blast with it myself~! 😄

[@GizmoGaming2011]

Necrotic Jade is a good Ring to slot in for this build, too. 20% Necrosis Dam, 20% Dam vs enemies with Necrosis, 25% Necrosis Duration, and +1 Necrosis stacks.

[@thertcll]

you know where to get that ring?

[@tyllua]

@@thertcll you get it when recruiting emmerich and unlock it further with his faction

[@BloodyHell894]

But it will get useless when you upgrade the dark shard sword. Made that mistake

[@thertcll]

@@BloodyHell894 Why would it get useless?

[@janalcazaren2425]

​@@BloodyHell894 Why will it be useless then?

[@florianfournier2170]

I'm loving the combats in this game. Specially the warrior that I prefer to my mage as of now, thanks for this build. also, your character rocks

[@whackedsundew7435]

Warrior has been my favorite so far

[@soundfx68]

I thought I was listening to Dantics for a min there. I'm following your Rogue archer/turret build whatever you called it!

[@beccangavin]

I probably won’t do a warrior build but still enjoyed this :)

[@norzza]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@c1pherx]

I normally don't play warriors in games like this but they are pretty fun in this game

[@beccangavin]

@ My kid is doing a warrior run and it’s super fun to watch their little dwarf warrior run around obliterating everything. They made a cute, deadly little ball of metal.

[@king4lyf91]

Loving this game! Started as an Elf Mage, then created a Dwarven Rogue just because and now you goong to make me create a Qunari Warrior! So much replayability!

[@JesusMartinez-bp1lf]

All you need is shield throw and dropkick

[@bookmarkyourthoughtsblog]

I usually am not super eager to play a warrior but I have to try this! thank you for sharing this! I know you said it's hard early on so I miiiiiiight just play on an easier mode lmfao!

[@poet8236]

I just dropped the unique helmet, it has the exact same stats and location, but is not called Magebane but "Field-Commanders Helm".

[@yukii70]

same

[@jizamkizam9611]

Rolling into an enemy area and clearing it out with one shield toss bouncing all over just feels awesome.

[@williamthomas4617]

This makes me think I might need a warrior build… for my fourth playthrough. Currently, I’m running with an elven rogue Antivan Crow… headed toward a duelist build. Have plans for my second and third run, but this really looks like fun. Thanks

[@MAC-xl5dn]

This is all I thought of since I learnt I could throw the shield, literally for the first act every time I did so I was yelling, "GET CAPTAIN AMERICAD"

[@TheXyxy2]

3:45 - This sword "The Dark Shard", the final bonus says "Whenever Necrosis is applied to a target, instead of an affliction deal 100 Necrotic damage in an area around them". Does it also damage the primary target itself? Does this benefit from AoE bonuses from the skill tree?

[@torbjornolsson4622]

Where did you get the redouble rune? Great guide btw, just need the rune for it :D

[@rouvenkling]

I come across a weapon mithals light hmmm i dont know how dmg on shield is working because it is an element weapon can it be solve the problem with darkspan

[@spencerkoenig7267]

You can also reflect the shield with your 2h using light attacks :)

[@GhostMerK]

Ayeeee im also running a build similar to this. Im not sure if the two handed weapon effects apply to your attacks if you're not specifically using the two handed weapon. But if they do, the Emberborn Shard has a tier 1 affix that gives you 25% Affliction Damage

[@bradryan7536]

I checked and you do gain the stats from your 2h weapon, so throwing on a Etched Raiders Axe. t1 gives 30% charged attack damage, which is shield throw damage. Looking at Elven Rockbreaker for more rage generation, or the one in this video for more defense

[@lyrrr.8059]

Not sure I agree with the helmet, it's a heavy, so ability damage is way down vs medium and light, and then even if you're at, lets say 300 rage cap, which is likely as high as you're going to get, that's 150% damage, which sounds nice, but with good rage generation you'll be spamming your ability every like 10 seconds, so 150% for attacks and abilities vs 6x using abilities, idk. Plus you're missing the bonuses another helmet could provide.

[@Allaiya.]

This is what I was looking for, thanks! Kinda bummed it’s necrotic though. Doesn’t really vibe with my noble warrior I was going for lol Have to say I was having more fun with the warrior though than rogue which is what I was initially planning

[@tyllua]

The Mournwatch is the most "heroic" and "noble" faction of all if you ask me. They take care of all Undead Threats (which are the most common) and rogue necromancer who use it for evil. meanwhile you have the veil jumpers, who only do what they do out of curiousity. the shadow dragons a self proclaimed resistance group that are basically street thugs. the crows which are a hitman group. the wardens who are the epitome of "old and corrupted by power" and the lords of fortune who are mercs for hire.

[@GizmoGaming2011]

Do you remember where you get the helm? Couldn't find any info on it.

[@GizmoGaming2011]

So I found the helmet. The name must have changed with a patch, because it's now called the Field-Commander's Helm. It can be picked up by beating the Champion in Hossberg Wetlands.

[@oneupkev]

Nice build. May give it a shot

[@crazy-tommy]

I started with such a build in early game, but was a bit underwhelmed, so I respecced into a stagger/eliminate build. Maybe I give it another try with more skill points and access to a specialization.

[@TextStories985]

Did you upgrade your dark shard sword to legendary?

[@rouvenkling]

Question ring of andraste have you swap it in and out or does it automatik work on darkspan ?

[@haoyujiang381]

i cant seem to do the shield volley attack i always hold attack after throwing the shield but it doesnt work, just shoots out a normal charged attack. what am i doing wrong?

[@seasfas]

It should tell you when you hover over the "shield volley" trait. On pc it's shift and left click when it returns.

[@haoyujiang381]

@@seasfas omg thanks

[@Miguel4MG]

Toss shield count as projectile or range dmg? Just to be sure about some passives Im using

[@norzza]

Ranged damage, projectile typically refers to projectile abilities.

[@Drekulviin]

Oh! Weird, my helmet is called Field-Commander's Helm.

[@NapTimeNebula]

i really love your build and appreciate your complex explanation. but i have some question related to andaraste will ring that change all affliction to burning. if i used this ring did the multiplier damage come from all necrotic bonus from armor or we need to used gear that boost burning & fire damage instead? i really appreciate if you can help confirm this

[@Xoplayboi]

Where I get watchers hold belt and precious decay ?

[@orkidea80]

so this build only works for qunari since the helmet is vitaar ?

[@JesusMartinez-bp1lf]

I went mage, then rogue, than warrior, and haven't looked back since lol

[@WanderingRagabond]

This has nothing to do with the build itself, but does the game ever explain how the warrior does all this necromantic stuff? Like how the Reaver in Origins and Inquisition had to drink dragon blood to mutate, and the Templars drink lyrium. Do Mortalitasi bind spirits to them or something?

[@brandondalton9710]

Where did u find the redouble rune?

[@Efreet-y6g]

Where did you find redouble rune?

[@themysticavenger]

i like this build thanks for help

[@Wolfianzero]

This looks good. Any chance for a champion build too?

[@CheapSusukeL]

where do you get the redouble rune? I cant find anything online

[@apollodingo3583]

Where did you get that helm from.

[@jacex9910]

Why would u wanna wait for a 1min cooldown for ur abilities when u can just spec into rage gen and cast ur abilities twice as much

[@lucc.6156]

how do you think it compares to mage? thinking of going reaper warrior for second playthrough

[@tyllua]

the mage seems the most interesting first but is the most boring of all really quick, since can spam burn everything, due to your ressource maxing itself without the need of buildup. warrior and rogue need to generate their ressource first before they can use abilities

[@shadelljamison5507]

Is shield toss range damage or projectile damage?

[@kbkb4284]

I love shield toss but hate necrosis...its a shame some of the strongest shield toss skills seems to be found in that specialization.

[@shimmyking4]

What's wrong with necrosis? Just outta curiosity

[@Mitchenzo282]

There is a unique (ring?) that changes all affliction damage into fire/burning. I haven’t tested but it should shake this build up significantly and open other skills

[@bullyakker]

@@shimmyking4 it's poor vs darkspawn

[@En3ka_]

where drop the shield ?

[@VinhTran-pu4iv]

May I ask that the shield bounce only works if you charged the shield?

[@tyllua]

no it also bounces on a normal throw, the charge does more damage.

[@Mostlarge1]

I got the field Commanders helmet instead of the magebane. Must be a random helmet

[@D_89]

The rage decay is a deal breaker for me. Warrior could be so much fun without it, but it sucks in the beginning.

[@PeacefulOz]

I hate reaper and necrotic damage thematically so really would love to find a strong shield build that doesn’t use those. Same reason I haven’t been playing duelist since it is all necrosis

[@norzza]

You could run the unique ring I mentioned in the video to turn the damage into burning?

[@crazy-tommy]

Champion seems to be quite strong as a shield build. Lot's of shield buffs and it has a passive that adds 50% of your defense to your shield damage. This increases your shield's base damage, so all percent based damage increases are added on top. This should work as a shield toss build as well as a heavy attack shield bash build. Although haven't unlocked it yet to try it out myself.

[@PeacefulOz]

@@norzzaI missed that part of the video. I will have to rewatch. Thanks for the tip!!

[@PeacefulOz]

@@crazy-tommydefinitely leaning more toward champion when I start my warrior play through. I am playing a rogue right now but warrior is next

[@jmack3d]

Me too on this. I'm trying to play the "golden hero" character and laying out necrotic green evil dead damage just doesn't fit well lol
