Lmao if any warrior can hit 200 a hit then they beat my arcane warrior. So far anything I attack dies. And well I only take 1-2 damage when I get hit.
I find that misdirection hex is my best friend when fighting Revenants; just throw one on and hack'n'slash, then if it runs out and hes still standing, run around til its recharged and throw another on. Makes easy work!
i don`t know about the arcane warriors generally, as i`ve never played one, but if all arcane warriors miss THAT much, then you`re better off playing a pure melee class
Wouldn't you get the same results as a rogue or dps warrior, just 10 times faster? Rogues are pretty much unhittable (except at the beginning) and warrior.... well warriors would do more damage at least.
@fatmanfalling Use Champion second skill, this it's called rally, they are cumulative so if you have more than 1 they are added together! and its +10 from each, then perfect striking and you should have no trouble hitting anything!
I picked arcane mage for my second game in nightmare. Arcane mages are so unbalanced that you just have to pull all the monsters from one room, go make some coffee or whatever and when you're back it's over.
@Milithryus Yeah it's a bit over the top. If you want a good challenge try and complete the game on Nightmare as a Ranger, it's actually possible to :D
Dwarf warrior (10% innate magic resist), templar specialization (40% magic resist armor from a merchant on the way to Orzammar), Spellward (30%, from Bodhan in camp), Key to the City (4% quest chain in Orzammar), two Master Dweomer runes in weapon (8% each). If you don't want to make a Dwarf you'll also need a Grandmaster Dweomer rune in your weapon. That makes you immune to all magic cast by your enemies (but not friendly).
Defense rating. Got STR to like 38 base so I could wear anything with bonuses from gear and pumped everything else in DEX. Had over 170 DEF at the end of Origins. Shield Wall/Threaten/Precise Striking/Rally active.
If you look at the end of your action bar on the right hand side you'll see a little dragable tab, just drag that all the way to the right to extend your bars.
after some lvls u get skills to impruve hit rating. Arcane warriors are almost like cheating at endgame. they have lots of magical protection, eterial dodge, and cast offensive spells. blood mage/arcane warrior ftw.
Why use a sword as an Arcane Warrior? I know why for this fight, but I've seen other videos of AW players using a sword over staff. With a staff, you have quicker spell casts. Against a revenant, you should cast the summon skeletal minion spell.
I knew that, but I was talking more about quest goals, because I found a note that talked about the dark vials and had 6 fingerprints so I was wondering if they were related to some side quest. But thank you for the info :)
well all the revenents are are the strongest type of deamon (pride) traped in a unded body they were sealed awey Years ago probably by some powerfull mage and scatterd across ferelden in the hopes no one ever sets them free.
@hesinsan3 Yes I do still play this ;) actually using a dual wield warrior atm. Anyway, Arcane Warrior is actually a Mage specialization and their Magic stat is converted to Strength. At the time of me making this I believe I had about 52 Magic, which counted as 52 Strength ;)
max it out at 25 that way you have the cap for hit and block value also some armor will give you more dex so i maxed mine out at 18 but it went to 25 due to armors
I've only solo'd a revenant at a high level, I was lv23 dual wielding warrior with Veshialle & Aodh. A couple pots but wasn't too hard since he's weaker to physical damage. My dex was so high with 100% physical resist he really didn't do much damage. I wish they would of made nightmare actually challenging. Every patch seems to make the game easier & easier :( off topic, lol Good vid man!!!
Haha yeah agreed on making Nightmare actually...hard, I didn't even notice a difference from normal to nightmare actually -.- was all a walk in the park.
Indeed it does ;) but that is the whole point. You grab the heaviest possible armour you can get your hands on, on the count of fatigue not hindering you. You shouldn't be casting spells unless done so with Blood Magic, or through your buffs.
Hope that helps you :o also, i'll remove all the comments below people have deleted themselves :p.
Nevermind, this must have been done pre 1.0.2 patch, just realized that shimmering shield deactivating on pc version was included in this recent patch, not in retail copy.
I'm not aware of any patches, as I stopped playing this awhile back now but to clarify, this was done one a retail copy. As I stated I have no clue about any patches at all :p. But yes, I rolled with just enough mana to sustain my buffs, thats all.
And yes the Arcane Warrior does miss a great deal, there's nothing that really helps but it's not overly noticeable imo. If I can't hit something I usually just start casting at it :p.
You should have 2 points in Mage for Arcane Shield, 1 in Earth for Rock Armour, 4 in frost for Blizzard, 3 in Lightning for Tempest (or 4 for Chain Lightning if you wish), 3 for Spell Might, 4 for Crushing Prison, 3 for Miasma, 2 for Death Magic. So long as you get all the buffs, you're golden. Check out my other video if you want to see it in Action against multiple enemies and trying to make it as hard as possible :p.
Well I've lost my save game but it was 4 points in Arcane Warrior, 3 points in Blood Mage. I put points into Constitution and Magic with enough points in Willpower to sustain my buffs (about 21 points I'm using) As I cast with Blood Magic not my actual mana pool! Will post the rest in just a sec.
Haha yeah I'm using the Dragon Armour on my chest because I didn't need the set bonus for the Juggernaut stuff and it's actually better then the Juggernaut chest piece ;). I believe my shield in this video was the Redcliffe elite shield :D
Lmao if any warrior can hit 200 a hit then they beat my arcane warrior. So far anything I attack dies. And well I only take 1-2 damage when I get hit.
