The idea of this, reminds me of Guild Wars 1 necromancer and the "Spiteful Spirit" Elite spell. Where the target is punished for everything they do. Cept standing still.
+Eric Hollingsworth Wasn't even 30 seconds, we really just saw Static Cage + Energy Barrage. A dragon fight is not a good way to demonstrate a class' capabilities, because most things classes are based on DON'T WORK on dragons anyway. You have to show a normal fight and what your chosen spells and passives can do, and then demonstrate how you can contribute to a dragon fight. Pretty disappointing... >
***** I ran into another video and for the life of me, I cant remember where I saw it, but anyway, he used fights to demonstate various aspects of his build while using a small picture in picture video box to show the build tree and spells. That was VERY helpful
A little late to the party here, but I am running necro mage myself and simulacrum is really good if you know what to do with it. You have to have a armorslot with the fade touched material that heals every time you hit an enemy, then start spamming spells till you die, then spam as much as possible since you have almost no cooldowns and infinite mana for a short while....and if you did things correcly, you should have full health again and you won't die from Simulacrum. What are your thoughts on this?
It works well eough, espescially if you run that skill along side it that gives you health and mana everytime you kill something. Works really well when facing mobs. Pair that with barrier spam and you have a hard time going down.
Hey, really big thanks for this video. It helped me a lot. I have just one question. Can you tell me the exact name of the schematics you used to craft your staff,grip and the crest? Thanks!
Haste is extremely valuable. you can whack a dragon 7 times before it knows what hit it. use it with varric special ability and you are force to be reckonded with, you could rival even the old god dumat, he's supposed to be strongest dragon right? Anywho, don't underestimate haste!
Great video Ninja Flips. May I ask you if you think turning on those trials on nightmare at the start of a first time playthrough would be a bit much or would be cool?. Thanks man.
The 'special abilities/promoted enemies trial breaks the game. The bugs and glitches may ruin it for you. The half XP and scaling enemies trials are great, though
Hmm. Hey Ninja, would ya say attack > critical damage for the mage, or vise versa? I see you respect your base damage on the mage With the pure dragon reaver you went for more critical damage with the chance as opposed to base damage + crit chance. Hope you're well, should do another stream on a weekend soon!
interesting build, I like a crit DPS Knight Enchanter build if you got one, that be awesome. Smacking enemies with that nice sword thingy looks pretty appealing to me, but can't find a build that isn't going to kill me so fast it's sad...
I'd say yes, but never watch or play the game, but yes I'm interested in being a combat mage using "spirit blade" to kill everything. I did a test using this build withsome skills swap and killed a mob in 2-3hits a few times or they blow up in my face. kinda weird but funny... :D Going to make new mage to go necro :)
I did one similar here, that shows some settings I think ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-skw5Jjnro00.html (May not be 'Morrigan' precisely, but a similar look)
Honoured for ninja himself to reply to me but second of all are you serious? I'm here truing to think of perhaps doing a crits knight enchanter and thinking hoe much damage it Can do and whether it's viable verses necro Wow You sure ninja? Loving your fallout stuff BTW just got mine and playing along! You know how-to review a game truly!
Sugar Ray Robinson To me, yes. The only difference is the Spec. tree, and the Necro tree has a lot of Damage buffs and debuffs - and they play into the Fire tree as well, along with buffing all of your overall DAM. I consider the KE the 'healer' of the group, and the rift mage the 'tactical' mage.
Maybe its because I have played a rogue in Inquisition but when I tried the mage or I watch game play of a mage, it just looks boring. Your doing auto attacks half the time and I feel like there is very little " omg did you see that number moments". If the mages could do some sick damage then I might stick with the class. They seem to be excellent AOE machines though. Lots of numbers, not just alot of big numbers :/
