Dragon Age Origins: Storm of The Century

[LagiNaLangAko23]

is the area of the storm larger than that of both blizzard and tempest? i was playing return to ostagar when i found the opportunity to cast blizzard through the wall. it was well placed and didn't reach my party. however, when i added tempest and it turned to THAT thing, i just found my character dead... :)

[Zufod]

magican FTW in DAO *_*

[TheZenuf]

Nightmare isn't really that hard if your playing it right. But yeah Storm of the century + the circle of reflection spell place on the entrance to the room. Lock the enemies in with that storm. Just make sure you back way up so you don't kill yourself.

[dcbayman]

kewl ty im gonna use this to kill mobs for now.:p

[GuitarGuy015]

Why a party, its alot nicer and cooler to just play the whole game in ur own. really, nightmare is hard i know that, but it is soo freakin awesome, and if u have skill of your own, nobody can beat a arcane warrior | blood mage. The Hardest monster of the whole game probably is Gaxhkang the Unbound, you have to defeat him in a side quest, you won't beat him in nightmare mode :p

[ThaRify]

thats epic

[someone1293]

Haha I love doing this in Dragon Age

[silentkiller9000]

awesome

[macdie2001]

what was the tornadoe spell called

[patrick5087]

@macdie2001 its what happens when you use blizzard and thunderstorm? on the same area.

[aaron75fy]

spell combo no 4 of 10. did this in the weishaupt part of the fade then left. it was still going when i came back

[becker286]

first i was like, huh. then i was like, ok. then i was like, DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMNN!

[xcnugget]

Holy balls, that is awesome.

[Willettes1]

now use it on a enemy

[NiceDaisy24]

Hmmmmmmm this.....is the spell of the maker *random chantry priest does a high note* SHUT UP *uses storm of the century on her* Stupid bitch >.>

[ifPedro217]

that was some pretty rain allright

[anadus7]

Can this combination be achieved with different casters? For example,

Caster1: Blizzard

Caster2: Spell Might, Tempest

[2TonguesDave]

@anadus7 Yes it can

[anadus7]

@2TonguesDave Nice thanks. I will replay DA:O to get ready for DA2

[wcdornez]

Cool stuff man, but hey use it on someone!

[GGPoohBah]

Good... now LIGHT IT ON FIRE!

[Jakob300able]

Get storm chasers on the line....

[beast9011]

awsomeness

[lolzomgz1337]

Best thing to do is send a tank in to soak up aggro, then forcefeilod them to make them invincable, then mass para things (Isn't there already a spell for that?) Then storm them! = Epicness! :D

[KuoTaru]

Why i am playing it sooo late? This move i "created" with my friend with rune combo so there was no enemy standing a chance with a 3 mage party...

[iceandsteele]

we'll be blaming you for 2012 haha

[themorningperson]

bode this against a dragon? will it die instantly?

[proddster]

@themorningperson not instantly but with the right gear (electricity boosting) and a magic score about 50, you could be looking at over 100 damage every second, to everybody within the vicinity, which is double what blizzard or tempest normally have. put a vulnerability hex on the dragon and it may be closer to 150/200 per sec. fucking great eh?

[BlackSoulsAion]

wow nice,  i herd about these spell combo effects.

[quiz9146]

It looks awesome. Can't wait to do it with my mage.

[Brianswers]

Heh for a second there I was wondering how leliana knows how to cast spells :P

[Legionnaire726]

yes....be carefull with this spell, killed off everyone except myself cause i barely had enough constitution to survive with potions :D was experimenting with the spell combo's and you know what they say curiosity did the cat....was my party.

[menpower1]

This is my favourite spell in the game, it rapes enemies like shit, even on nightmare. This spell got me through golemns of ar...smth DLC. Though 3/4 the time the spell will hit my mage too and drain all her mana. Still, its awesome to send a tank in, make tank use taunt, forcefield the tank... and storm of the century him plus all the enemies futilely smacking the tank... best tatic in the game. :D

[Furagata]

You also need massive mana to cast it. On top of the three spells you need to cast, the combined spell takes an extra hundred mana off you. That's 300 mana all together for one attack, so tactically, it's best only to cast it if you know it will end the battle, because you'll be out of the fight otherwise

[DARKEY1995]

ima lvl 25 mage n i tried tht n it dnt work

[Numdenu]

Congratulations! You were playing on Nightmare and your entire party just died in a barrage of epic storms that YOU created!

[SeitxiS]

@Numdenu lol xD

[ioannisdenton]

@Numdenu i played it on nightmare and i was carefull when i used it, and i used it a lot

[14deathsoul]

holy shit that looks kick ass

[falconbird123456789]

That's beast.

[teencomment]

I wonder how devastating that is in a fight...

[mihaissb]

@teencomment let's put it this way: if you're not careful, you'll also get killed

[LazarusLL]

Unfortunately Storm of the Century has a larger range of Blizzard and tempest, so be sure to make your characters escape quickly (or it can be turn in a mass suicide XD)

[chilwil07]

@LazarusLL i found this at random and ended up overklling the undead at redcliffe

[Gegeratsu]

O_______OYou should have put inferno in there too if you had it

[Ankka39]

Nc robe

[Th3Archetyp3]

thats a nice combo, looks like i have a new combo to try

[Pieceofshota]

I use blizzard + Tempest and learned arcane mastery. I thought I was using storm of century but it wasn't. Still after using tempest, the enemies are totally frozen for a long time + electricity damage. I still get to kill 5 enemies that are on the other room without opening the door by casting only these two spells. I wonder how strong I would get if I learned spell might and used storm of the century.

[Dredghill]

Well...actually first entering rooms, or trapping enemies, these aoe spells are the best thing to kill anythingwithout them ever reaching you. I play with 3 mages and an archer(healer, morg, and myself the Arcane/Blood Warrior) Cast blizzard, same time as the Death one, and then tempest, and then put oil down infront of door with then fire (in front so bliz doesnt' take it out) so by time they get to me they're all dead. and being a blood/arc war can easily knock them back into the 'gust'. Oo

[Nickthelich]

I can't quite get it to work. Is there something I'm not doing I cast blizzard and then temptest in the same spot

[BloodyMilkshake]

@Nickthelich have you learned spell might? By me it was the same then i had spellmight then it worked.

[johnnyjohn911]

@Nickthelich

Spell Might

[ityr]

doesn't work very well since he always moves...

[roekai08]

lol cast that at the high dragon

[AninhaNinah]

Petrify + stonefist. SHatters the opponent - if he is not a boss - instant kill. Cute combo aswell but thanks for showin me this1 :D

[jordysgirl]

what kind of robe are you wearing? soo nice ;)

[CMJoker]

This spell is a beast. I tend to get 20 points of damage over time using just Blizzard or Tempest. With SotC, I get mid-90s. Throw in something like Blood Wound to the mix and I doubt anything short of a Boss would survive.

Does anyone know if you can use status effect spells on someone trapped by force field?. Another sick combo w/3 mages would be force field, death hex, SoTC, Dark Cloud, then Crushing Prison. FF holds then while you set up, and then you release them with CP for damage

[CMJoker]

Seems like you cant, but the combo is still possible if you case Death Hex first, then Force Field. You have to be really fast, and this works best if Spell Might Active beforehand

1) Start-up Tempest with Mage 1

2) Start-up Blizzard w/ Mage 2

3) Death Hex with Mage 3

4) Force Field with Mage 3

(SotC should be active now)

5) Death Cloud with Mage 1 or 2

6) Crushing Prison with Mage 3

(This is cause Shockwave and release the enemy to all the damage.

[Weltunter88]

it looks so great xD love this game :D

[KingdomSlayer]

kickass spell .-.

[Lappie89]

Mad combo with Paralysis explosion, earthquake and glyph of repulsion. Earthquake their escape their biggest escape route and repulsion in a doorway of sorts. They have nowhere to run!

[fishNguitars]

so does this cause a different type of elemental damage or is it a 2 in 1 type of spell?

[CMJoker]

It's Lightning Only according to the Codex. Most people cast Blizzard first because te side effects of Blizzard are better than Tempest.

[IamNixon]

Wow, I'm always using those spells and that's never happened before... Then again I don't use blizzard very much. Looks sweet though.

[CrUddYupt14]

nice

[BombSquat2000]

You dont have to cast spell might after the second one its a upkeep spell so just leave it on then use Blizz and Temp.

[Freecell82]

Is it just me or are these AoE type spells useless? What exactly can you do with them? Enemies will run up to you pretty much right away and the friendly fire means they're useless up close. The only thing I think they're good for is taking out archers and mages, and even then they just leave the area quickly.

[Outcastino]

first you cast earthquake, then you do crushing prison on a yellow mob that usually doesn't get thrown down by earthquake, and then you AOE.

I had morrigan and me do an instant SoTC by casting blizzard and tempest at almost the same time...Or you pump up your survival skill and you start casting stuff from aroudn the corner, since sotc's range is huge...

[jirdy18]

well... I am an arcane warrior and when I wear shimmering shield that +75% to most type of magic resistance... I just fight in the midst of the storm with my sword being unaffected by my own AOE... very fast kill (yes, that apply to both my enemies and allies) :D

[Xoid900]

They should be good versus stationary bosses like flemeth but besides that I can't think of a use either. :/

[Zalker]

Theres many way to make effective use of the AoE ... (especially in combo) Blizzard can freeze the enemies and keep them in the AoE or you can use the glyph of paralysis or the one that pushes back. Or just place your dude on the limit of the AoE. And I've cleared a lot of places by casting Blizzard into a room, by the time they come out they're either dead or near dead (for normal units). If you think a bit theres so much stuff you can do with mages (I'm looking forward making a mage party)

[SupaSpaceMonkeyMafia]

What bout the lsat spells on fire and ice

[1MrMusica1]

there is another on force field and crushing prison that will cause a huge shock wave

[XmenyX666]

nvm ic already that i need spellmight as well =(

[XmenyX666]

I often/always combine Blizzard and tempest at the same area but nothing happens ( except for the 2 normal spells at the same location ) , why ?, do you have to do something extra then casting those 2 on the same place ?

[WoWRools8D]

holy shit

[mattdunn707]

I love how some massive spells like Inferno or so go silent after you cast them.

[Madmanin]

Yeah... Thats kinda retarded.

[rockyqw12]

make for shockwave.

[endless0140]

by the way. you really should make more of these videos.

[endless0140]

holy shit dude that was awsome! 5/5

[space13awesomer]

I got my mage,morrigan,and wayne and I did all lightning,fire,cold,earth area effects everyone there was dead

[shadowvowed187]

holy shit, what level are you???

Im a level 12 right now

[JadenXI]

[joelscp]
