Should You Play The ROGUE Class In Dragon Age The Veilguard? (All Abilities & Skill Tree, etc)

[@norzza]

What specialization are you picking?

[@earth2227]

Saboteur

[@Ephemerally_me]

Duelist. But that will be my second playthrough. Mage main all the way.

[@BalancedAtlas]

I'm thinking about going with a mage but I like the Duelist for the rouge.

[@JLPM98191]

Great video I’m torn between duelist, slayer or spellblade.

[@DragonjaI21]

You can have 4 active skill in play right ?

[@DukeDudeson]

I like the way the rogue class is. It looks like certain rogue specializations are able to use some magic to a degree. Can finally be a magic user that's not a staff twirler & use knives, daggers, swords, and bows, perfect for my freedom fighter Shadow Dragon Rook.

[@DavidSantos-ix1hu]

Saboteur with the conclusive blast ultimates so I can rp being a artificer lol

[@mattappl3119]

The fortunes fury ultimate is giving serious eldritch cannon vibes for me

[@Sengg0]

Gortash would be proud

[@Swecan76]

I am torn between Rouge and Mage as first play. But I lean Rogue and I would go down Veil Ranger. I feel that since your basic attacks are dual wielding you then get best of both worlds. You have the constant up close dagger attacks and then pop off an arrow and then with abilities you do hard hitting ranged snipes with an arrow ability. But I would of course check which path I go down, like "burst" side and pick up passives and traits there. See the Abilities are one thing. But can't sleep on traits and passives. Because they are in effect almost all the time since they increase damage of Basic attacks and so on. I want to hit as hard as possible with my daggers/sword when doing those attacks. The mage looks really enticing too this time. Because you are no longer "Rooted" and slow as hell casting. You can jump and dodge around and fast casting projectiles. You have both weapons abilities that are full with basic attacks for a lot of variety feeling in combat with the dagger and orb or the staff. Then hopefully cool massive AOE and Single target magic abilities. You can even be spell sword and do a lot of melee with the mage abilities.

[@bobbobby475]

I wanna play Mage first because I thought of the character a lot but Rogue looks so fun. The duelist specialization looks coolested to me but whipping out a GAT looks fun af as well lol

[@EndlessSummer1992]

Playing evoker with AOE, armor with leech, talisman for aoe damage, mask with exploding statuses. And applying statuses all over the place. Is soo fun. But also I beat dragons without using potions and kill them little too fast 😂. With mage you start weak, but go overpowered at the end. While rogue I think keeps the level difficulty whole game. I finished the game as mage, and feel tempted to play rogue and warrior. But sadly for gameplay of fights not for story. 😅Also wish they added one more skill to skill bar. To have more flexibility. And expanded the specialisations a little. But oh well. Fighting is fun in this game though. So that’s good.

[@welcometothetroyiverse8864]

Rogue duelist. I’ll be making a Drizzt Do’Urden model for my first game play

[@DavidSantos-ix1hu]

They have darker almost purple completions for qunari,maybe they would be a good fit if elves don't have that shade of skin tone

[@azrialiatosri7489]

Thank you so much for including the recommended companions! It's nice to know which is best to combo with during battle! 👍🏻

[@norzza]

No problem 😊

[@AngelofAmbrosia]

I can’t wait to see your deeper analysis of fighter. I’m thinking I may pick it.

[@BlueLily-gq6qe]

I want to play them all lol, but really thorn between rogue/duelist and mage/evoker for my first playthrough

[@EndlessSummer1992]

Mage evoker great choice. Harder to play at the start, but mid and end game, you Change into a beast. After lvl, 26 I think. Nothing really stood in my way anymore.

[@Makoto03]

Thank you so much for this video on the Rogue class. Very excited to play this game in October. Though i think i'll start with Mage class on first playthrough, then Rogue on second.

[@Zakharon]

I could have sworn Specializations were locked to backgrounds, was leaning toward Spellblade Crow, but Greywarden is an option for the hp boost

[@zackeryh250]

Specializations aren’t, but there was some mention that your ultimate will be flavored by your background. The example was that grey wardens will have fire added to the warrior ultimate since they use fire to fight the blight

[@BlackPantherEclipse]

Veil Ranger Veil Jumper with Davrin and Emmrich! I love the bow/ranged abilities!

[@Eldritchrae]

Thanks for showing this! I was dead set on rogue duellist but I’m absolutely terrible at blocking and parrying in games so probably going mage now.

[@RafaelGringo]

I always play rogue (and they're looking really cool in DAV), but also for the first time the warrior seems alot of fun! So I'm torn.

[@susancollins3971]

I will play mage first because I want to romance Lucanis and I want to be able to take him with me on missions and since he is a rogue I do not want to also be a rogue. I will likely try rogue on a second or third playthrough because it does look very fun also. The duelist looks super fun for a second play of the game.

[@coltonmarples4269]

A saboteur with their Turret, explosive trap and explosive daggers seems like a good all-round physical build that can handle any situation with a mage and warrior companion.

[@elwinkline6387]

Saboteur. I am loving the dual swords and bow play equally, so id rather not specialize in one or the other and go down the Sab path. Looking forward to getting the turrent gun and grenade launcher and checking those out.

[@DavidSantos-ix1hu]

Explosice dagger and trap sound busted Af comboing with the saboteur passives.

[@stub0794]

I love the bow, but this garbage where you can’t swap to it and it’s more of a secondary really sucks. I want to main and archer.

[@CaptainCharismaless]

I'm kinda wondering if I can make something close to a Captain America build with a warrior. If you can then mage may not be my first playthrough.

[@Rearnold1987]

Can I play 100% Ranged? Or would I run out of resource from not parrying/dodging?

[@natbvm1880]

I'm so stoked!!! This will keep me going til monster hunter hits in February

[@jacobgonzalez2313]

why does the rogue have cooler looking spells than the mage

[@gamerhex7335]

Upsetting there's no "stealth" option for rogues this time. Was really fun going to keep going invisible in Inquisition to constantly crit with flanking damage + crit chance + crit damage. Seems they just wanted this to be a hack and slash with no flavor added

[@karasu5107]

Human Antivan Crow rogue duelist

[@julilla1]

Duellist, for sure!

[@zackeryh250]

Hoping we see a similar video for mage and warrior

[@norzza]

Check back tomorrow for Warrior ;)

[@matroska_5625]

Feels kind of like Duelist fits a human, Saboteur fits a dwarf and Veil Ranger fits a dwarf. Well, the Duelist could be elf too but definitely Veil Ranger seems more elven with the Arlathan mentions.

[@madPav3L]

One thing you didn't mention is how forgiving the dodge/parry mechanic is, how hard is it to dodge or parry compared to souls games for example?

[@seoulmandan]

Rougue Crow Duelist on the first playthrough, Mage Shadow Dragon Spellblade on the second.

[@RandomWandrer]

Shadow Dragons Duelist. But im gonna use flask of lightning and pilfer

[@slashdef]

Leaning towards a rogue. I've always been drawn towards archers in games.

[@profan10]

Is it hard to aim with the bow using controller?

[@JohnZaun]

Going to role a Rogue Veil Jumper first. Was tempted by Saboteur but the cannon looks kind of silly IMO.

[@day1david]

great breakdown. combat looks amazing! Also nice dwarf. Most who got to play early made elves and Qun

[@blkwng]

Are there greatswords? Ive tried seeing streams but couldnt see one

[@kbkb4284]

I really wish there is a Lightining themed but also blade focused rogue class. I love the lighting element, but really dislike the ranged bow playstyle.

[@erenYeager4eva]

😢 Since rogue class has medium defense it's gets wrecked and loses momentum. What am I doing wrong?

[@NtiGame]

May I ask, Bow is locked target or manual aim?

[@DavidSantos-ix1hu]

Manual aim,unless they have a lock on

[@GrimAbstract]

It's both from the gameplay I've seen. It seems like you can charge the bow shot while aiming, and then quick shot with the lock on.

[@NtiGame]

@@DavidSantos-ix1hu Thank you!🥰

[@rickc-arelsii6276]

So, if I were to play a Grey Warden rogue, I'd have no access to the Warden's fire-themed abilities? ( I believe I saw that Wardens were fire based somewhere), just with runes?

[@Dragonage2ftw]

I think the fire stuff was in Champion.

[@rickc-arelsii6276]

@@Dragonage2ftw right. as a warrior. That's what I'm curious about. why would I want necrotic since darkspawn are resistant to it and not fire that they're weak to? My class shouldn't matter, in my opinion, if I'm a Warden, let me access Warden perks. *bounces head on desk*

[@SethKyros]

@@rickc-arelsii6276 this just a guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if we can eventually unlock Warden gear that helps with turning some/all of our damage into fire. We already saw a unique ring that turns all afflictions (so necrosis, shocked, bleeding, etc.) into burning.

[@zackeryh250]

there was some mention that your ultimate will be flavored by your background. The example was that grey wardens will have fire added to the warrior ultimate since they use fire to fight the blight

[@SethKyros]

@@zackeryh250 each specialization ultimate is sort of flavored around a faction, given that each specialization itself is based around a faction too. But other than that, each ultimate is a static thing. The first ultimate we saw being used was the Champion one, which is the Gray Warden specialization of warrior, so yeah, it is a fire based skill. Regardless, a Warrior from any background can become a Champion and they'll all use the same ultimate.

[@MarikaStarflower]

I am playing them all.) But I am quite torn about the first pick. Right now leaning towards Mage Spellblade.

[@Jess_Jones]

I’m guessing that being a primarily ranged rogue isn’t a viable option?

[@LeoKRogue]

It looks like it would take a bit of work to make it be comfy, but there are minor skills that do things like refill 2 Arrows any time you kill an enemy through any means, for example, so you could probably lean into those to sustain a more ammo-hungry playstyle.

[@Jess_Jones]

@@LeoKRogue I’m looking forward to trying!

[@QueDawg111]

I'm seeing a trend with mage and rogue. I'll probably play a Duelist XD

[@Wtxthegame]

Does the Rogue only use dual swords or can you do wield other weapons???

[@norzza]

Only dual swords and the bow.

[@bluewizzard8843]

All classes Look really fun. In the Moment I think I will Play a Warrior but maybe not. Rouge is also tempting. I like the combat in this game in general. I think all classes have something to offer.

[@brendonburns3123]

What does the adrenaline class resource do?

[@dariogomez8921]

Slayer or Champion

[@RpgAddict325]

Same. But this is the type of game that you should have multiple save files to try out different classes and builds.

[@WeArrLegion]

I will await a benchmark before I decide if it's worth it on ps5 😅

[@DragonjaI21]

So the skill can use are 3 per character not same as DAI are 8 right ?

[@Bro-dot-]

Far as I know most are inbuilt to your combos. So abilities seem to be actually abilities not just feel like your basic moves like in DAI.

[@ImJEllisAF]

What are your thoughts on Lord of Fortune Veil Ranger?

[@norzza]

Sounds fun to me! Taash would be a perfect pairing.

[@josha5933]

Love a magic infused assassin so can't choose between mage spellblade and rogue duellist

[@Doug12-nb3cz]

I think the vail jumper or the an Ativan crow

[@Lethallan4life]

I'm playing a rogue first, antivan crow duelist!

[@johnnydamm22]

lucanis has defintely synergys for the rogue, it just depends on how you build it LMAO. for example lucanis has several bleeding effects, wich goes perfectly, when you have found the unique bleed weapon in treviso. you dont need to just watch the synergys from the skills. there is more to it then you ae explaining in this video. but this is expected from youtubers

[@karlmarshall4482]

I’m going with a human dualist rogue

[@destroyerofworlds9138]

Shadow Dragon, human, Duelist run.

[@frametrap6715]

The rogue does not feel like a rogue but rather like a mage/thieve. 😔

[@KingEnvy9845]

Warrior for me

[@MrConredsX]

SHOULD YOU PLAY VEILGUARD? No...

[@merlinsteele6840]

The colors in this game are just too overwhelming imo.

[@voyagersmarch8776]

its lgbtq propaganda

[@RansomMemoryAccess]

I got addicted to a machine gun Artificer Rogue that could constantly spam extremely fast recharging, high damaging, ranged powers. Don't like to hear Rogues now apparently will be the slowest class around. Even worse for archers who use range and tactical positioning as defense more than dodges and parries to keep up momentum. Rogues are thematically supposed to be the opposite of that.

[@frankthetank6364]

Awful

[@mymail1]

Looks nothing like the previous games, what a shame .

[@michaelk1982]

None of the previous games look or play like each other, the story is the only consistently similar thing which it seems like it will continue in veilgard

[@xsardas1003]

Obviously, the choices others make in a FANTASY GAME bother you so much that you don't know how to stop thinking about fucking reality. This game has never been pushed towards children firstly. Secondly, this is a case scenario where people really don't know how to tell gaming from reality

[@Mantelar]

@@elissahe2377 anyone with a top scar confuses fantasy with reality. And anyone who would put that in the game is the one who can’t let go. You can get as angry as you want that people disagree with you, but that won’t convince anyone to buy this game. These people have declared their hatred for anyone who disagrees with their contrivances. They’re not getting any more of our money. Read the room. Concord failed, Ubisoft is about to go bankrupt. Your ideas, which are really the effete courtly ideas of a weak and dying empire. They are of little consequence and aren’t even popular anymore. And there is real consequence to this shift.
