Tips For Being A Better MAGE In Dragon Age: The Veilguard

[@BoomstickGaming]

*What type of Mage are you playing? (shout-out the Rogues & Wars in the chat!)* -BoomstickAlex

[@ThinkingCap_]

Yo man please help - which class out of the three would you say is the most 'fun' in your opinion? Thank you I really appreciate your vids

[@marconeves1979]

@@ThinkingCap_ Mage or Rogue. Warrior is kinda.... not very dynamic, and can be a bit boring.

[@imaginarylight001]

Dude. Bravo! Thanks for steering clear of the drama and showcasing the fun combat.

[@coruviel]

Finally a comment section that isn't blindly hating the game, as always boomstick gaming delivers actual combat tips. I'm so glad you covered this game man, i always happen to play games you cover, i find you everytime i want technical tips about a game. Thanks for always being here.

[@XxCodster31xX]

I seen all the discourse surrounding dragon age and while I do understand the flaws in its story and world building, noone has shown of its combat like you have in your videos. The mages combat just looks and sounds so fun that I’m gonna be picking up the game for the combat, thanks for the amazing showcase of the gameplay!

[@VioletDeathRei]

I can't get passed every conversation being an HR training video and I'm in the group they are supposedly protecting. As much as I tend to like gameplay over story this is a very story heavy game it's hard to skip it all.

[@Sazed0]

@@VioletDeathRei that comment is not even true, bro was cherry picking clips. try it for yourself instead of letting others decide for you, people gotta stop repeating quotes from reviews like an NPC and make their own decisions

[@chrisperry4014]

@@Sazed0it’s literally so repetitive that they can’t even come up with a different way to say it. Talk about “we just heard them say that”.

[@mandu6665]

Whoa! That dodge backwards for the spectral boomerang to travel further and possibly hit more enemies is sick! I keep seeing comments about "simplistic combat" and just laugh when I see all these different combos and the ways you can chain things together. Being able to cancel animations into a block or dodge alone with my Warrior Rook has already made the combat incredibly engaging.

[@anitarecount5081]

Mage looks insane and Im glad to see it. They were nerfed badly in Inquisition

[@ohpa6300]

Good stuff 👍 I may try the staff beam approach and see how that works for me ⚡

[@TevinRoyaldawn]

I'll definitely be trying these out soon

[@Korzak86]

Man I can't decide between spellblade or rogue/duelist..

[@TheAnimatedGamer]

Im not really a Dragon Age player but it looks like you can do some cool combos in this. I might pick this up

[@chocopuddingcup83]

I wonder if a lightning/cold storm mage is possible with evoker. Using a staff and with projectile bonuses, it might be pretty nifty. I don't care for melee, so spellblade just isn't for me, which makes me sad because that's where all the lightning bonuses are.

[@thats4thebirds]

Genuinely loving it so far

[@LORDWARIO]

Thank you. The game looks awesome!

[@lisitchkajojo]

Thanks for the great tips and showcase! I’m only a couple hours in but can’t decide between spellblade and evoker. Orb and dagger just feel so good to play but I initially was drawn to the more ‘traditional’ ranged mage playstyle of evoker. Can already tell I’ll be doing multiple playthroughs just to try every class and specialisation 🥲😂

[@fredkrawczun5554]

Probably going spellblade for me. That being said, I would love to see tips for being a better Rogue and Warrior too. Since, considering we can respec our entire skill tree at any point(if we want), I'm pretty sure following playthroughs will use the other classes.

[@catalystzer0344]

Beam Mage looking badass. Reminds me of good old Diablo 3 Wizard.

[@Thekillershawn]

Thanks for the video, excited to be higher level and have access to all these nice powers!

[@perrytheplatynum2014]

Was in the middle of making your Ella Purnell character and the video got removed, any way to get the specs I'm missing?

[@BoomstickGaming]

Sorry about that! I needed to make a change and they will be on my 2nd channel in about an hour. it's called Bonus Boomstick

[@perrytheplatynum2014]

Awesome, thanks for the quick update 👍🏻

[@Sagebirt]

Haven't picked this up yet. I know Gamespot said there were issues with the lock on system as a Mage? Just wondering if anyone has that issue? I'm still deciding on what class I'm going with.

[@fall5923]

what's the diminishing return if you skip every interaction?

[@luke.dean2704]

This actually looks quite fun..I’ll give it go I think 👍

[@thewelshcomedian]

The reviewers that didn’t like the game never had gameplay like this.

[@emilaliyev9610]

I agree, I would never expect a triple A project to have a mobile knockout gameplay

[@dingledorf5615]

"when the bull tests positive" the video game

[@lhaturtle5682]

Je viens de voir que les notes sur Steam commencent à être mauvaises...........

[@BernardMarx95]

Great content, man.

[@tramelpennie]

Making me want to try mage instead of warrior today lol

[@abechecker3834]

Magic is always cool can’t wait to play after work

[@SolasTheJediKnight]

​@@abechecker3834 dude me too. I had just enough time to make my character/inquisitor then I had to go to work. I'm hoping my boss lets me go home a bit early tonight

[@kisamejon]

I literally just switched mid game after playing warrior for like 2 hours 😅

[@Sentro-zz]

No

[@omensoffate]

What’s the tips for avoiding this game like the plague

[@FimbulSleipnir]

Getting a life

[@brucewayne404]

If you want to avoid the game why click on a video promoting it?

[@mysticpearl16]

Maybe stop watching videos about the game? That should help!

[@covertsagecandidate9553]

Get a life and stop watching a game you don't like 🤦

[@JungKooksTwin]

@@omensoffate crushed in the replies lol it’s just a video game… just go play something you like.

[@Datgameboy117]

The dragon age: Origins babies are soaked in tears cause they gameplay is dated, and will never see the light of day again😢😢😢😂😂😂 if it’s so great get off the comments and go back and play it with some mods or something. Get the same ones who be making those Skyrim modes and be happy😮😂

[@chiemychiem7533]

I would choose dragon age over this. Have you even played it yet? This game is hot garbage.

[@LavenderGoonz]

​@@chiemychiem7533 have you played this game?

​@@chiemychiem7533have u played it? I have. It's a better combat than Origins 😂

[@malty776]

The combat is just mashing attack and waiting cooldown.

[@mandu6665]

Lol. Elden Ring is just rollin', rollin', rollin' and chugging. I can be disingenuously reductive too!

[@sh4dowcl4w81]

honestly ... who cares about this game, it is bad at everything, except maybe how the environment looks.

[@hedidit55]

you gotta stay off the internet

[@RHMedia252]

Apparently you since you took the time to comment

[@animegamergeek1427]

Well, u care. Why else would u click on a video that u don't care about & give them more views? It's so funny how haters always go on these videos to say that they don't care 😂

[@Ember-wl7dq]

Who the hell looks up a build video just to complain about the game... have you even played it or are you just borrowing someone else's opinion?

[@mindfortress105]

Tip 1: Uninstall, refund, and play something that isn't propaganda

[@TheJarlath9]

everyone is hating on this game but it looks better than dragon age 2 lol where is the same hate for that game ?

[@eltortue6362]

Dragon Age 2 was made in 10 month and Veilguard 10 years, plus DA2 got a lot of hate back then

[@221Prohunter]

It’s because of its political agenda.

[@xR3DST4Rx]

Also Dage 2 got a lot of hate what are you talking about? 😂

[@VioletDeathRei]

Are we really sitting here and ignoring decades of hate for DA:2 always rated as the worst DA just to convince people this is not so bad lol?

[@Jesse__H]

DA2 deserved its criticisms. But at least it was dark. At least it had choices.

[@say10sedso56]

According to this game, to be a better mage you have to vigorously study all the pronouns and learn how to grovel properly to the they/thems 😂

[@mandu6665]

Don't be scared homey, it's 2024. You can bang anyone you want in this game. No one's gonna judge.

[@Vulpix298]

Exactly! Hurry up and learn

[@snactimusmaximus]

nah, i'd rather stay straight.

[@overlordkisaragi4377]

All mages have a staff as there main weapons from the first game all the way to inquisition now we have daggers may as well give them a wand at this point.... Daggers are for rogues 🤬

[@say10sedso56]

Don't you stereotype rouges! 😂 you are sentenced to take a 1000 dollar course on micro aggressions and why you are a bigot and the worst person in the world!! 😂

[@auraegis5286]

Mages could learn to wear heavy armor and use swords in origins lol.

[@Cjspectre23]

They do have a staff in this too. You don’t have to use the dagger you go use the staff instead.

[@overlordkisaragi4377]

@@Cjspectre23 I'm still going to playing the game wish they would had something like da2 with the staff is all

[@dltn42]

I was trying to replay the series to prepare for veilguard ... But the pain for me was, the combat is too outdated.🥲 It was great in the day, but it needed to evolve. Thank God, they eveolved the series combate 😊
