I am working with my Dwarf Noble Rogue Archer: Peter Aeducan. The guide I have read tells me to use Bard and Ranger specializations. Should I really go for Assassin, Legionnaire, or Shadow for the last specialization...
can you please help me I am at this one town I forgot what the town is called but the darkspawn attack the town every night and when you live the night you have to go to the castle in a cave or aomething can you tell me were that is
I play on the 360, should I still max DEX or Cunn with Lethality? I'm not sure if DexFix was ever applied to the 360 version and I can't seem to find a straight answer when I google it. Thanks in advance.
@Falagar517 It was fixed in one of the patched bioware released Patch 1.02
From the patch notes:
Daggers now apply 0.5 points of damage per additional point in dexterity and 0.5 points of damage per additional point in strength, as originally intended. This increases dagger damage for high-dexterity characters.
Is there a reason you went two deep into assassin? Archers can't backstab can they? I was thinking of going duelist/bard but I suppose with all that dex your attack score is already high enough. Great videos man.
@absintheshumway No reason. I'm pretty sure I just ran out of talents I wanted to put points in so I threw a random point into that passive. Definitely go Bard. With max Dex, you don't need any more attack or defense so Duelist is pretty pointless. Legionnaire Scout on the other hand is amazing since Strength of Stone is just a ridiculously awesome talent.
@abenhorsen I finally finished my origins run and started my awakening playthrough, accuracy is absolutely stupid on my dex archer now. It's crazy going from an occasional 100 damage critical to a stream of 250+ crits. Looking at the armour, did you never bother griding for the nimble vest or did the felon's coat edge it out in the end in terms of stats?
@ernestas111 Mark of Death. When you're doing so much damage per auto attack, an extra 20% damage is HUGE. Plus it was a solo run and if I used pets, it wouldn't really feel like a solo run anymore haha. I'm sure if you replaced Assassin with Ranger, you'd be just as successful as I was.
@Atonil Far as I know CUN doesn't affect stealing, only rank. You can steal only if you have equal or higher rank than your enemy (characters with yellow name = Rank 3, red name = Rank 4).
CUN does affect Lockpicking & trap disarming though.
@Atonil I forgot to mention that CUN affects your Persuade checks while STR affects your Intimidate checks for one point each past 10 (ie. CUN 20 grants 10 Persuade). Coercion gives +25 to both Persuade & Intimidate.
@Atonil I bet he put that point into stealing so as to get the quests of crime wave from origins. If you dont have at least 1 point into stealing slim couldry wont give you quests that involve stealing. That way you lose exp and gold that you could have easily earned.
@elatoraregamwto With max Dex, you already have enough defense to dodge almost every physical attack. Evasion annoys me since the interruption animation makes you have to re-click on an enemy to start attacking again. When you're running solo and getting that interruption animation every other attack, it starts to get annoying haha so I don't bother with Evasion anymore.
@abenhorsen to make this clear for people who`ll further read this(in case anyone is still playing DA1, and not DA2) NEVER GET EVASION ON A RANGED BUILD!!!
some people may wonder why
well, the animation is not only annoying, but it SIGNIFICANTLY reduces your DPS; instead of that lame dodge, it`s a lot better to shoot 2 arrows and quite possibly kill the thing that attacks you(not to mention there are lots of other tricks to stay safe when playing a rogue build, esp in awakening)
Can anyone confirm this for me. I hear that one ps3 there is a dex glitch and it doesn't raise damage for bows so I have to build an archer like a cunning rogue is this true?
@xero181 It's a great bow and it looks awesome! You have to get Wade to make it for you. Go to the Wending Woods and kill the Sylvan called the Old One. Pick up the Heartwood he drops and then get Wade to craft it into the Heartwood Bow.
Stupid cheater noob! 176 Dexterity??!!NOOOB! :@

@roxteh Rogues get a skill point every 2 levels (versus every 3 levels for Warriors and Mages) so by level 34, you get quite a few skill points.
