[HD] Dragon Age Origins - Solo Nightmare Archer Rogue - Test 1

A temporary FRAPS video I recorded while testing out a level 21 max dex duelist/bard archer rogue at Nightmare difficulty. Max dex plus Dueling (with Keen Defense) plus Defensive Fire plus Suppressing Fire seems to be a pretty amazing combo. I've tested this character in two random encounters so far and I have yet to take damage.

Nice videos. One question, what do you think is better? Dex dual wield or dex archer rogue?

[abenhorsen]

@ernestas111 Thanks!  DW is definitely better in Origins and Archer is better in Awakening.

[ernestas111]

@abenhorsen Heh you're welcome ;). Is it because of the new archery skills? I haven't tested them yet

[abenhorsen]

@ernestas111 Yep. With Accuracy and a max Dex build, you can easily get 100% crit chance in Awakening (meaning you do 300-450 damage every single auto attack lol). You end up killing most enemies before they ever get near you and if anything does get close, just use the Legionnaire Scout talent Strength of Stone to make yourself invincible for 15 seconds (which is easily enough time to kill whatever enemy is close). Check out my solo Nightmare Awakening Archer Rogue videos if you want to lol.

@abenhorsen awesome dude. Thanks for clearing this out. I'm already playing orgins my dex archer! lol. Gonna import him into awakening as well. Though early levels is really hell for dex rogue ;(

[abenhorsen]

@ernestas111 Yeah, early levels were definitely rough but I enjoyed the challenge haha. It gets easier once you get Defensive Fire. If you have RtO, I'd highly suggest getting the Repeater Gloves ASAP since they allow you to fire at max speed even with Defensive Fire on.

@RIGUY75 AHAHAHAHA, dude, Healthbars and skillbars werent made by blizzard.

[abenhorsen]

@jamies251 Of course my health doesn't go down since I'm not getting hit by any of their attacks. The whole point of this video is to show that when you stack ridiculous defense, even Nightmare enemies often can't hit you.

[Hexznutznig]

This is probably one of the best builds I have seen for rogues. My best build was a cunning rogue dual weapon, backstab people to death. This game is 4 years old and I am still playing it. Did you like DA 2? I think that game is shit. Nice video.

[DeadmanINC16]

@abenhorsen is it best to finish origins with a DW and use the manual of focus (not sure is thats the name) in awakening to change to archer ?

[funguy1121]

dual weild in origins n archers in awakening and did u know u can reset ur skill n stat pts in awakening? i just found that out 2day u buy a book from sum1 i forget who though

[AzoiatheCobra]

say, what is your stats?

because, i mean, I usualy do an cunning high hitting archer that criticals almost all the time above 100, and i like big numbers.... how did you put that? 30 cunning 22 strengh max dex? a little less cunning just for have more dex? a little more cunning just for the bonus of bard talents, aswheel for lockpicking?

[HawkeBlades]

In dragon age 2 there is this talent where you can shoot a bunch of arrows up and then it will come down like a meteor shower

[YangBalanceYin]

Archer is EXTREMELY powerful in the new Dragon age 2 if built right.

[thegreatbigty]

nice video, i just got origins and i wanted to make a rogue archer, do you think you can tell me your stats at that level?

[hordewow2]

ok nood question here ^-^: Does a ranger need arrows or are the Fire arrows n stuff just for extra damage? and Question 2: How the Hell can you hit for 500? im lvl 9 and still hit for like 28 ish ( duelwield dwarf warrior)

[tarded01]

@TyrannicalGOD

but i tested the lethality thing myself. you get all the damage bonuses with archery, but you don't get the 10% critical chance
