  • i have create male elven rogue..for me..rogue is the best in all character..because of their talent and skill..i can fight the whole army with my single rogue..no need morrigan,wyvnne neither alistair for fight..no need health poultice..no need greater poultice..but my rogue weak againts ogre..because ogre can grab my character..i use archer and 2 weapons(dagger)..very nice..when they attack my rogue..no single attack hit my rogue.. lol..

  • is 2str 1dex good for the melee rouge? or is 1str 2 dex good

  • getting lethality? if that makes cunning better, making you get more crits and precise hits then a striker rogue would be great!

  • the best armor for rouges is actually the felons coat which you can but at wades emporium after you make the first set of drake scale armor

  • What he doesn't tell you is that you need 20 str for the drake armor...

  • A question that anyone can answer? Is medium armor not recommended on rogue?

  • I.... I build up my Rogue and end up using Better Armour and Weapons then a fully built Alistar

  • I like this guy, his voice is perfect for the video.

  • But what if I want a mixed Rogue? I want to get high skills for archery, dual weapon combat and the rogue skills. I just want a really versatile rogue character. Can anyone help?

  • @DarkClown06 i was thinking the same exact thing.....

  • @Pur3KaOs100 I decided to do it, it sacrifices damage but in a single player RPG I don't think it's that important to have your character do 100000DPS as others emphasize. I can tell you my build in a PM if you want to try out something similar.

  • @DarkClown06 yes, that would be great. I am buying this game soon(maybe tomorrow) so that would really help. thanx!! :D

  • I thought Marjolaine's Recurve and Far Song were the best longbows in the game?

  • @CerberusGX i think falon'dins reach is a shortbow

  • "... by FAR, the best mage killer out there"

    If I might suggest an addendum: "for Rogues". Best in game? Mana Clash by a mile... no, a nautical mile... no, county... state... country... continent. Yeah, continent.

  • Fatigue -15% U must pay around 30 gold to wade.

  • hey what the hell did you do to dragon age 2 ?? you Made it way crapier than origins and what you should of done was the siege of the quanarie or something like that

  • nice i have donne the dragon armor and its very cool i was using one armor that gives me 15 defense but the dragon scale its better for rogue cuse of dexterity and only the armor has 50%fire resistance

  • LOL - Falon'din's reach isn't the best bow in the entire game

  • @TheZgandalf wrong, it is very much the best in origins

  • @Robzzombay Actually it really is not, and it's not even arguable. The best one is Far Song.

  • ty for the info :D

  • the felons coat is actually the better armor for rouges

  • Basically to be the most effective as a melee Rogue, you only take passive talents and do nothing but auto attack as that is the only time you'll backstab. Using abilities actually ruins your damage. So turn Momentum on and keep backstabbing.

    As a ranged Rogue you want to build it the same way. You stack +critical chance items and auto attack, making each hit a critical attack and never use an ability. Even Arrow of Slaying is not that great as it takes longer as opposed to atuo attacking.

  • I a more of an up close rogue So i focus On both rogue and dual wield Skills

  • plz help. shod i be a Rogue or warior??

  • @verden2004 well, if u liek powerhouse, big swords, heavy armor, a tank, warrior

    If your an archer, dual wield, and wanna pick locks, rogue

  • Dual Dagger Rogues are alot more fun than dual one-hander rogues could be IMO. Plus it fits the theme better.

  • Ohh ya and Momentum or however u spell it + Daggers = Baddass Backstab rates try it if u dont belive me :D

  • This is not true rogues can be all dex and con and still be badass (Crow's Daggers and Backstabbs all the way) :D

  • @Darkmoon821 if you do that DEFFINITLY get lethality, so damage doesnt suffer where skill rocks. dwarves make the best rogues, as they can get 25 gold instantly by doing a insanley short and easy quest.

  • you only need to pay 10 gold for the first set then the next set of drakescale and the dragonscale will both be superior

  • lol thats the best bow in the game, when i found it i just went to a shop and sold it

  • pretty helpful, but hearing him repeat "me - lee" (instead of "may-lay") made me want to cut my ears off with a melee attack..

  • @SuperJStidham Hmmm...with my Wisconsin accent that everyone keeps telling me I have; I'm guessing you'd lose more than your ears. =P

  • @SuperJStidham why is such a big deal how people say it, i say "me-lay" some say "me-lee" others "may-lay"

    it's just how people pronounce it

  • @SuperJStidham me-lee is how it's spelt, and pronounced.

  • @SuperJStidham

    Just make sure you stack enough points into dexterity otherwise you might miss your ears!

  • I like momentum over duel striking.

  • Dude! You rock! And i think rouge is the best because of the lockpicking skill!

  • that isnt the best bow the best one is in Lothering you can steal a bow from him called the imperium crossbow which has the best damage and great reload speed

  • @SuperSk33t Thats a crossbow which is is used by the powerhouse rogues or warriors because it needs strength. This is the best 'bow' because it is a bow requiring dex to use

  • Most powerful bow in the game? Fuck. I junked it because i had no ranger. T_T

  • @CameronMcDChilliwack That sucks lol. If you had Leliana, she comes with bow skills.

  • i got that bow yesterday after killin the dragon didnt know it was best in the game lol

  • im bein an archer

  • everyone else says falons dins reach is only the second most powerful bow. Far Song is the best bow in the game not Falons dins

  • @tarded01 But if you get that bow you will miss out on a piece for Diligence armour...which I find to be very beneficial to any rogue; if you can hold on to it until you find all the pieces for the set...This is my opinion as I favor defence over offense.

  • @Razylll

    quick question. whats better, the high dex build or the high cunning? should i get lethality regardless?

  • @tarded01 Well, I started playing again with a rogue and I wanted to use the bow a fair amount as well as using dual weapons...I've put most of my points into cunning and dexterity...I basically left strength alone until level 10....DON'T DO THIS! I thought lethality would be a nice substitute...it is not! Sure you may hit higher now...but that's if you ever hit your target. With any melee weapons you need to worry about str and dex for your accuracy for melee weps. Try to just balance the 3 =)

  • @Razylll

    thats because you probably didn't take the bard specialization. if you take bard and apply the song of courage(the 3rd talent) you will always hit. plus, cunning adds bonuses to most of the rogue abilities. so it really is a disadvantage to go with strength. if you go cunning and apply these song of courage, you will hit harder, get better bonuses,and get better armor penetration going with the cunning lethality route. (BUT YOU HAVE TO USE THE 3RD BARD TALENT)

  • @tarded01 Hey, thanks for that tip...I usually don't play as a rogue. If I do I usually get Ranger and Duelist...I rarely use Leliana so I never knew about that bard ability!

    Thanks for the tip ^_^

  • @Razylll you can still use Liliana if your main character is a bard. bard abilities stack up. if your main and liliana are singing the song of curage. its stacks up and doubles

  • @tarded01 OoOoo fancy ^_^

    I will have to keep that in mind. I'm actually playing through a couple more times...trying to set up different stories for DA2.

  • @Razylll

    i currently am running a rogue bard and a warrior beserker. both are fun, but the bard is harder to design

  • @tarded01 I just came to the realization...we took up the front page with our conversation. ^_^

    Good luck on your playthroughs...I'll be sure to give bard a go.

    Also, I redesigned my channel page...It's got work to do yet, but I like the idea...tell me what you think.

  • @Razylll

    do your characters play through into DA 2?

  • @1ManArmy786 I heard that your story choices affect it, but I don't think the characters themselves can carry into DA 2. I was kinda bummed when i heard this. I love customization...

  • @Razylll You are able to customize Hawke, but he/she can only be a humen character.

  • @wolfgirl76543 Well, that's some good news...Albeit, I've started to neglect Dragon Age after the Skyrim announcement and I've been playing Oblivion since. =P

  • @Razylll I'm one of those people that doesnt judge a game till it comes out. I'm looking forword to DA2 and if I'm dissapointed, oh well.

  • @wolfgirl76543 That's good to hear...the only thing I'm dissapointed about DA2 so far is that I will not have Alistair. =P

  • @Razylll Lol right? And Zevran~

  • @wolfgirl76543 Honestly, I didn't take Zevran along very much. =/ I couldn't get past the fact that he wants to kill me. =P

  • @Razylll I adore Zev. Almost everything he says is really funny.

  • @wolfgirl76543 Zev is gay did you know that?

  • @iLovePCxD He's bisexual.

  • @iLovePCxD And even if he was just gay, I would still adore him since I don't judge people on their sexuality.

  • @wolfgirl76543 what makes him gay anyway?

  • @tarded01 i think the best bow is located in the warewolfs ruins, in the dragons den

  • marjolaine's bow is the most powerful bow in the game not the ine he mentioned... ryt??? hehehe

  • you can get some drake scales getting the urn of sacred ashes...easy quest with 2 mages a rogue and a warrior :P

  • Were those test characters?

  • one of the only things I totally dislike about this game, not only do they TELL you in a starters guide where to get the best stuff in the game, but this bow, its on the main quest path...you actually have to pass that dragon, to continue... why the F would they put "The best" in such a place? ... I dont get that..

    ~Jkun~

  • @Jkun because, in all honesty, its not the best. the best is farsong. and if you want farsong, you'll need a pocket as deep as the grand canyon, as almost as wide. very much worth it i hear.

  • @robloxfan459

    so......they lied when they said "THE" most powerfull bow in the game?

    Hmm, now im curious about farsong, lemme check that out xD

    ~Jkun~

  • best way to use a rouge is to use dual daggers, just put in dex the amount needed for the skills you want and put the rest into cun, you can easily get over 100 damage with each hit with the right setup, also a good armor would be a chest piece that is sold at wades, but you have to finish 3 of the main quests. and best of all when combined with the gloves and boots that you get from wade doing the quest said here, you will stilll get the item set bonus

  • I never got Dual Striking cause I didn't like the idea of not being able to backstab. But what this guy says, about using it if the enemy is facing you and then turning it off when he's not facing you. I never even considered that but it makes sense.

  • Ok, im making a Striker Rogue, what Specialization Skills should i spend my 2 points on? Im thinking Assassin & Duelist, but im not to sure.

  • @SolidSkillz187 I'd go with Assassin/Bard, Song of Courage is too good to skip.

    Dual daggers + damage runes + Momentum is all you need, you'll end up doing more damage with auto-attacks than with abilities (Dirty Fightning + Riposte are only Talents you should use)... personally I find Dual Wield Warriors more fun to play with all their skillspamming and they require less micromanagement too (and they do surprisingly high DPS too), try both and see which one you like better.

  • @SolidSkillz187 you have to look at the benifits. assassins have the best ability whenit comes to backstabs, but if that is all you can do, youl find this game a massive blockade for most of the time. duelists can be useful for many things, like dodging away from attacks or destroying groups of enemies. bards are like champions with warrior, they help boost freindly characters effectivness. and finally, rangers can call animal assistance, which can let blood mages drain health from them safely.

  • @SolidSkillz187 assassin and duelist. duelist is basicly a extension to the abilities that rogues have in their combat training. assassins increase backstabs.

  • helpful and all, but really this game is so hard to get money out of its stupid

  • is this a game developer? is he that fucking stupid to pronounce melee as "me - lee" not "may lay" not impressed.

  • Hey, I found a Bow that is better then Falon'Din's Reach, It's called Marjolaine's Recurve.

    Falon'Din's Reach - +2 Damge + Rapid Aim 

    Marjolaine's Recurve - +3 Cunning +3 Damage + Rapid Aim.

  • @aercron kinda funny how the creator of the game thinks it is the strongest wep , while actualy there are stronger weps than that :P

  • @TheBanned0ne I mean, I may be wrong, But I found this weapon, with out any DLC's

  • @aercron You own character can't use it though, it's Leliana only.

  • @Williamren1 Yeah, I know but it's still the best bow in the game, Even though your own character can't use it. Still it's technically the best in the game that i've found. I'm not trying to be disrespectful or anything I'm just saying I found one that is better is all ;D

  • @aercron Marjolaine's Recurve is good if you're gonna use Leliana as archer, but Far Song is THE best bow you can get:

    +2 damage

    Rapid aim

    +3% ranged critical chance

    +10 attack

    +10% critical/backstab damage

    Combine that with Aim & Song of Courage and your CUN rogue will do ungodly amount of ranged damage. My char had 45% Crit chance and did 80-110 damage on crit hits... not to mention she also Shattered frozen/petrified enemies :P

  • @MJ1284 Sweet, I haven't really got that far in the game, or know much about it yet, but Where could you get this bow? :D

  • i can help with this. you know owen the blacksmith in redcliffe? he asks you to go find his daughter in the castle. don't find her and tell owen, and he will suicide. later in the game a new merchant will take his place and you can get the far song from him. i think you need to complete 2 treaties first.

  • @RaioneruSol You beat me to it :P

    I'm not sure on treaties, but otherwise I can confirm your statement.

    Bad news is that the bow costs loads of cash, hench you might wanna stick to Leliana & Marjolaine's Recurve if you're planning to buy other expensive gear.

  • @RaioneruSol aw man, Fml. I'm a Arcane Warrior, so I went to red cliffe as the first treaty I went to.. Because I wanted the Eamons shield, for the +25 stamina.

    Thanks though :D

  • @RaioneruSol

    Actually i dont think you need to complete the first 2 treaties, u just have to go into the Castle through the Sawmill or w/e.(MAKE SURE YOU DONT OPEN THE CELLER ALL THE WAY AT THE END OF ONE OF THE HALLS) After you get to the part where you have to decide what to do about the Demon Boy,you can just leave the castle and go

    to tell Owen you didnt find hr. Then leave Redcliffe and come back. Go to the Blacksmith and there will be a new merchant there.

  • man rogue ranger is so boring though

  • i use daggers as a rouge ( not lame 1 handed swords ) is this bad and shold i switch to 1 handed swords ? or keep dagger , and why

  • Is their a way to change ur spec without going through all the game files and stuff?

  • What about constitution?

  • @BerzerkxBreton he sayd that was good for an archer ... dang i screwed it up .. i put some STR , medium DEX and ALOT of constitution because i touhgt a MELEE ROUGE USING daggers like me needed constitution .... can someone please help me , tell me if i scrwed up or did it good , im like lvl 12 and keep hitting 16 and 20

  • @GunDelight who cares about which bow is better... Maybe it requires less str than the others. Who cares ....

  • @ilovesongsonly It normally wouldn't if there was barely a difference, but Far Song is significantly better.

  • when I get the ranger talent if I spawn a wolf,bear etc my game crashes same if morrigan turns into a spider my game crashes why is this?

  • Oh fk ya! I am making a rogue ranger

  • Is it possible that at some part of the game you can change your talents that you have already used, and put it in another place?

  • Isnt the Far Song the strongest bow?

    Same stats and these bonuses +2 damage

    Rapid aim

    +3% ranged critical chance

    +10 attack

    +10% critical/backstab damage

  • @DrakosBain Yes, I don't know why he said Falon'Din's Reach bow is the best when Far Song AND some other bows are all better than it.

  • So how much strenght should a melée spec rogue have? The rogue is going to be dex heavy, about 100+. With may be 40 into cunning. And hoping to use good daggers if I find any. Right now I'm level 7, and what's the level cap? I already have duelist slot open but have not specialized it, hoping to go for assassin specilization since I hear it's more "passive" skill based. Any constructive response form any1 that plays the game would be nice. Thank you.

  • @Raafi1234 20 strength max for melee rouge. as you can choose the leathality skills in the rouge skill tree. which allows you to use your cunning score in place of strength for damage out put. mostly put in dex, to bout 36. loads in cunning, get 20 strength by going to mage tower, using the attributes your find in the fade. yea daggers are the best, always go for backstabs, deal major damage. use momentum skill ( super fast attack) and get duelist as soon as for the defence boost

  • anyone know if the dex glitch has been fixed on the consoles? I havent played in a while and havent gotten the latest patches and i thought they said patch 1.02 was supposed to fix it. I was going for a backstaber rogue and initially was going to go all cunning after putting points into dex for talents.

    Anyways, has the dex glitch been fixed on consoles? ty in avance.

  • can u be finess and use meele?

  • @iorost i dunno dude, from what i've seen, archers are heavy hitters. i thought my dw rogue was good with his best hit being 600dmg, but then i looked at leliana's and i think it was somewhere close to two thousand, so you must be going wrong somewhere. your problem is probably nothing more than your admitted lack of patience. if you stick with it long enough, you'll be a badass, i guarantee it

  • hm... I don't remember neither a dragon in the forest not the bow in her piles of... gold. I remember I used one from the quest where you bring some special wood to a craftsmith in the Elven village.

  • Marojoline's bow is strongest in the game... For Leliana.

  • Well, I feel retarded, I completely missed the dragon's hoard in the Brecillian ruins.

  • lies, far song is the best bow in origins

  • @StokieStallion this is a video from the creatures of origins btw,

  • with the drake scales u can always dupe them

  • whats the point of the dagger when duel weapon mastery gives you 2 full handed weapons can rouges only backstab with the dagger?

  • @AGElite87 Actually, the attack speed for full-sized weapons like longswords is slower than daggers, and unless you have the talent to use Cunning in place of Strength for damage calculations damage will be inferior. Having said that, backstabs CAN be achieved with full-sized weapons like Longswords in my experience, they're just slower.

    If you're going powerhouse, dual full-sized weapons is okay, but if you're going traditional Cunning+Dex rogue, only 20 Points of STR is needed.

  • the best bow is actually Far Song..

  • I tried playing rouges first playthrough, got past ostagar and restarted as a warrior.

  • My rogue uses an axe/dagger and has couple de grace, going aftr the line below it aswell for the extra stuns. Howevere I got 2 pts in duels, filled the next line and the line under that. Is that bad or.........plz answer me on channel or by mail, ty

  • When he's talking about drake armor...

    SCREW THE DRAKE ARMOR, GET FELON'S COAT BEFORE YOU GIVE HIM THE SCALES.

    Once Wade starts working with drake/dragon scales the shopkeeper will not sell you anything, thus you lose access to some of the better armors of the game.

  • check out my dragon age vids!

  • Hey guys im about to buy the game. Which character type would you suggest me to be?

  • Falon'din's Reach is NOT the best weapon in the game. You'd think a DVD that you payed EXTRA money for would at least be accurate.

    For anyone who wants to look it up, the best bow is Far Song

  • my guy has the ranger and assassin specialisations and is kind of a shock troop getting behing foes and summoning a bear

  • I still think dwarf tanking is the funnest. I'm lvl 22 with 40 str and 70 constitution. Got about 650hp so I can tank out stuff easily on nightmare:) I combo threaten(passive) with taunt, and it works out perfectly

  • thanks for the tips, so much more complicated to be a rogue than a warrior

  • wat is the best bow and where do u get it ?

  • The bow you get from the blacksmith in redcliff after owen commits suicide.

    Alternative would be "mages eye"(found in Haven in the store)

  • @jjb745

    far song

  • moonface are you talking about the guy in the video ? because the guy in the video is someone who works at bioware ..

    So dont be a retard lol !

  • and also the reason why he doesnt say all bows is because those bows only get unlocked .. by your decisions unlike felons cote etc or the bow he mentioned so dont be a noob

  • @Moonface00z You do realize "Coup de Grace" is pronounced Coop do grah, right? And for all you know this may be before Far Song was implimented, or he didn't want to give it away.

  • *cooh de grah

  • @Moonface00z Learn to pronounce foreign terms you moron. Just because it's spelled like the English word grace doesn't mean it's pronounced the same.

    And it's video not videa.

  • lol you dumbass don't play bioware games ever again

  • Im making a rogue and i just want to kno which is best to put my points in dex, str, or cun.....also shud i only wield daggers?.....lastly how heavy shud my armor be (chainmail or leather armor)?....What skills too?

  • I have a few tips for you.. if you wanna get high damage thwen you should put points in little dex and high cun and if you want high def and attack rates (attack rate= attack speed) then put dex and little cunning no need for strength. Or maybe sum strenght for gear but not much

  • @akoyisangpinoy01

    Put everything into Cunning and enough Dex (hard points) for talents. Gear dex requirement can be reached by hard points + equipment bonus (wherein as talents need hard points only). Enough strength + equipment bonus for equipments. Always wear light armor if you are not tanking so you don't get fatigue. Run Bard as one of your specialization and run Song of Courage, which feeds your Cunning score directly into bonus damage. Make sure you get Lethality too, obviously.

  • why does it seem they dont know shit? Dual striking? Get Coup the grace, stun em and you get backstabs either way, then just move behind em, done deal.

  • no the spear thrower is the best....

  • no its not mages eye does more dmg so does falon din

  • falon'din is not the best bow in the game

  • i got the drake armor

    my rougue is actually a cunning-dex-stre person

    i basically use dirty fighting then i use flurry,powerhouse,then riposte

    they have to chance to fight back when they are stunned

    oh and if u are a strenght person go to the bracillian forest and complete the wizard's hidden objects

    the armor is good in the beginning because its 25 res to all elements if u have it all,its armor is really impressive but the fatigue is pretty high

    I would recommend it for the strongest

  • thanks for the tips

  • Comment removed

  • WTF? thats so imba

  • @axe636 what's imba?

  • Imbalanced :D

  • Comment removed

  • i talk too much but i gotta say this: far song is the best bow. during the castle redcliff quest promise to find owen's daughter, valena. do not rescue her on purpose. after you're in the castle and choosing what to do with connor, before you kill the demon and rescue connor go tell owen you couldn't find valena. leave redcliff and come back. owen will have committed suicide and the new merchant will have far song.

  • Comment removed

  • I have a bug at this game:

    the players can't automaticaly attack, besides Morgan and I have to click over and over again, and this with just one caracter

    please help!

  • I have found this to be a problem with DA. Sometimes the guys just wont attack on there own.

    If all of his skills are stamina based and he is out of stamina, he may not attack.

    I would assume that if you reboot your pc or restart the game a couple of times he may come out of it.

    Be sure your tactics are set correctly. I have a how to video covering that.

    I hope this answered your question.

    Giantbomb has a great DA forum btw.

  • @MicroWare1 just put the tactics like this PC: enemy->nearest->attack REST:enemy->nearest->attack(or enemy->target of->PC->attack)

  • awe jesus. you have 'hold position' on.

    from my experience sometimes when everyone is attacking one enemy (allies + other friendlies) a couple of characters might stop attacking but that's not what this is.

  • hahaha.... your so funny

    well NO!!! I didn't had "H" on

  • @kangurya Are you sure you set 'Attack - Nearest Enemy' in you Tactics Slots for everyone? That might be the reason if you haven't.

  • @kangurya

    your team position must be on hold so they dont move to attack.. change it to move freely and it should work

  • @kangurya I had this issue, turned out it was my tactics. The posture and abilities I had selected told my toons to not do anything if their tactics didn't apply. Adjusted them all and they are fine. Set their posture to aggressive or ranged and they'll get into the fight without you micro-managing their every move. Hope it helps

  • @kangurya

    This is not the game's fault. You're not setting up your party members' tactics correctly. Unless you set their behavior to aggressive for melee characters or ranged for archers and mages your party members will not attack unless you give them orders to do so.

  • Thats Not The Best Bow In The Game. Get SteelBark Or W.e Its Called For The Elf That Does the Smithing In The Forest And Pick The Bow Its Way Better, n theres better bows than that one too, this man doesnt know what he is talking about lol

  • where is the bow?? i'm in a cave with those dragons in please help. PM if you don't wish to tell others. Thanks.

  • in a gameplay video i saw a rogue sprinting , how can i do that ?

  • All the controls are in your manual. Page 6,7 of your pc manual. These should also be listed through your in game menu.

    It may be "/ (num pad).
