Artificer Archer Build for Nightmare Kills dragons in 2 sec 

i am glad you liked it :) if you like the leapshot build check out the dagger one. I found it more fun overall

I will thanks!!!! Been knee deep in Nioh 2 last week lol.

The armor has 4 leather util. slots (dexterity), 6 cloth util. slots (avvar cotton: dexterity), legs have 8 cloth util., and arms have 8 cloth util.. This ammounts to 26 utility slots for the superior battlemage armor.

they are so op!

​@@dailydistraction3793 archer focused varric is the deadliest ngl. Just take opportunity knocks in artificer and build crit on him work wonders

its a lot of fun but i do prefer duel dagger myself as well. check that video out too :)

@@dailydistraction3793 I’m right this minute re specking. I’ll look at dual dagger vid in a sec. If it’s as good as this one can’t wait.

@@dailydistraction3793 argh man this is so much fun. Thanks. Just goes to prove the rogue is the best class in DA:I.

@@dailydistraction3793 how do I get the clone shadow things u did I tried looking but I don’t see it

I found it wasn’t needed at all using that ammy though I did go straight to that skill u til I got the barrier ammy then Respec out of it for more points

@@dailydistraction3793 Ah, that makes sense. It's a shame you can only get the superb version in Trespasser.

@@ivanjoshuacaragdag4423 ya but the blue version is more then enough if your damage is high

Did you check out my rift mage video :)

Not really atm for tempest and assassins though I do plan on it at some point. I live dragon age but I do take breaks then come back strong with a new build. Spacing it out enough to keep me busy until dragon age 4 :)

@@dailydistraction3793 I just watched your one about the tempest you were building. For my noob ass might just be good enough lol. I'm still hella early in game might reroll and try archer.

I'll need to check this out!! I think if i remember right I was already very close to crit damage cap at 190% but I could be wrong. I couldnt get away with explodes masterwork because the archer needed that guard on hit

@@dailydistraction3793 i dont mean explodes master work, the elgar'nan enaste bow, its specialty is explosive arrows, this is not a masterwork but a part of the bow itself. you can still have your guard on hit masterwork implemented.

@@jcop41 when I log on later I’m going to research this one

@@jcop41 next play through will be as mage so it should be interesting to see if I can get it even close to this

@@dailydistraction3793 theres some pretty nasty mage builds, especially rift mage

lol

Dragon mats give the biggest bonus along with great bear hide. I dont know if dales wool maybe is bugged in the latest version of the game? Pc is usally more patched then console for some reason? can anyone else confirm this?

every class can easy :) my advice is get 8 powers then go back to haven. they dont make it obv but thats all you need to do to get out of hinterlands

you can by increasing your inquisitor level at the battle table. its advanced focus ect

focus is not needed with this build it all its just for pure cheese. check out some of the other builds too :)

Just because I don't use the core game mechanics of a 4 person party? :)

Lol

Thank you :)

the blue pot is a damage buff. you get it from the storm coast.

@@dailydistraction3793 where exactly if you wouldn’t mind me asking? I’ve searched everywhere but never fount it

@@jakstheoneandonly here is a video i found that should explain everything ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C2i84rBBs14.html&ab_channel=GamingGix

Ya its almost too easy but if you let your guard down one second you still get 1 shot

It’s only 1 skill point so doesn’t make that big of a difference

You could also just use the duplication glitch on the amulet to give you an extra skill point

It's not possible without modding or duplicating the ice dragon hides, I already got 211% crit damage, 74% crit chance, and 97% attack another way tho so don't worry about it.

check out my rift mage video :)

I want to say it was ice dragon from memory

yes there is a cloth item that gives dex. I forget the name of it off top of my head though

Hey man, did you ever find out the specific cloth?

i want to say it was wrapped longbow grip. i forget where it was from but maybe a vendor in Emprise du Lion? its been a while

@dailydistraction3793 Unfortunately it wasn't at that vendor, but maybe I need to have a certain perk to see it.

@@MithasDaedric i wish i could remember. its all account wide once you get it. you may have to look it up but i bet it is a perk like you said

So apparently it's a random loot from a chest, lol. Back to the grind.

@@MithasDaedric save scum it. Find a chest save loot not it reload loot again

its just that over tuned if you follow my steps :)

Atm taking a break to space things out waiting for dragon age 4. I do plan on doing knight enchanter and necro still though.

@@dailydistraction3793 That’s cool. Not seen any good builds for a Necro that would even be viable on Nightmare. Well, I’m subbed so as and when you do post more DA content I’ll see it.

@@Pinstripes84 awesome that really helps a lot. I bounce around doing dragon age content d3 and elden ring :)

yes. it starts off rough but by level 12 its not so bad. It makes you think how you approach random fights a lot more then you would normally.

When I made the first prowler armor with full upgrades and compared I'm pretty sure it was only 36 dex. I didnt really need the armor because if you have bubble from either the necklace or guard your armor doesnt matter anymore. I really like the theory crafting so please if you have any more ideas I'm always game to make these even stronger. Also check out the duel wield version which does even more damage with out focus dumps

@@dailydistraction3793 i just tripple checked, using hunter coat legs, with prowler armor arms upgrades with superior prowler armor is only .5 less dexterity but 44 more armor than the superior battlemage armor and its upgrade slots. The defenses do change though, you can get more max health on the medium armor with some range or melee defense, but lose out on the magic defense. something else to know is that health is what your total guard is. more health = more guard. Also, health and guard apply to all dmg types, where as the others apply to only the specific types. to be fair though, more health is almost always better than defense due to numbers game. a spell does 100 dmg, you have 16% defense, spell now does 84 dmg, so only save 16 health. if add health, spell does full 100 dmg but you get bonus +128 health(32 guard), you save 28 health(60 if using guard). Numbers change as the dmg hurts more though. 1000 dmg vs 16% =840 dmg now, thats 160 saved vs 32(0 if using guard) health lost. Sorry for the long read lol. hope it helps.

@@jcop41 thanks for checking :)

i think im missing something even more how are you getting dex on battlemage armor, even with all upgrades it only has 4 leather utility slots, the rest are cloth

@@vincentgrinn2665 there is cloth that gives dex :)

its a skill in the green tree. you can check it out at 8:14 in the guide part of the video. New mage video will be uploaded in the next few days so dont forget to subscribe so you dont miss out on it

can you explain more? in what way

@@dailydistraction3793 I used to have this problem where the elemental mines would just fly off instead of landing on to the ground if i wore Kitty’s Collar. All I had to do was unequip it and itll be fine, but on my recent playthrough, the mines would fly off regardless whether i equipped it or not. Not sure what is happening

@@Irockthesky weird. I didn’t have this problem at all but I didn’t have any more perks on mines beyond the base because I didn’t want to get caught with no stam. At some point I’ll try to replicate the bug though

I had that problem when I upgrade it to throw everything, but it doesn't do it all the time. I think the ability is just buggy in general.

@@ivanjoshuacaragdag4423 ya I don’t upgrade that skill. To be honest I only use it when lots of monsters are coming

It works very well but still requires combos in game to gain focus

@@dailydistraction3793 so the stat page is a glitch and the master belt of focus does in fact work as intended? Cause I've always used the next highest tier - superb belt(?) - or whatever instead.

There is 4 ambulates of power in the game :)

armor part of guide starts at 13:50

@@dailydistraction3793 where did u get the wrapped longbow grip?

It would be on a mage but for any other class the extra base damage isn’t that good compared to base stat. On a mage the damage from staves is terrible so quinari is best in slot. See my rift mage guide :)

@@dailydistraction3793 I saw that, it's why I was asking :) And that video made me want to install Inquisition after several years and perhaps finally finish it.

Was just a crafted decision helm that I found to have the biggest damage increase. We had more then enough crit already

have you done the quest for it yet? after you get to skyhold you can unlock a spec. there is a lot to it so I would google how to become Artificer in your case

@@dailydistraction3793 thanks

It can do it all easy :)

He already told it in video😢

Rofl. Archers are way more easy but check out my reaver guide. It may help

I went human for the extra skill point

do you plan on playing him mostly or letting the ai do everything?

@@dailydistraction3793 pretty much the AI doing everything, I'm hoping to adapt on what you made to make him self efficient like I did with my Cole

@@spacejesus6581 try this guide and make him dw. use guard on hit and poison leech. set flank attack and poison to fav :) dont forget to sub so you get a notice when I upload more stuff :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bZ17usMfeSg.html&ab_channel=DailyDistraction

It’s a passive in the artificer tree that lowers cd every time your crit ;)

@@dailydistraction3793 ok so if i play assassin or tempest i cant build like this right because only 2 attack skills is not enough.

@@dailydistraction3793 not everytime u crit.crit from ally not u

@@aoquagame4200 its from you as well as ally. thats why on artificer you stack crit chance as high as possible. watch the whole video and I'll explain how to do this :)
