Overpowered Knight Enchanter Mage Build: Dragon Age Inquisition 

Combat is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O_kzs294QQE.html

guide still rocks in 2021, thanks for it :)

Just started 2020 😄

My KE is a combat mage. So he mostly involved in close range combat. That's why I am using Blade of Tidarion for role-playing purpose. Also, with the hidden Blade of Tidarion + Energy Barrage combo, my KE can cast 24 projectiles which immediately generate a barrier. Then he can free up a spell slot for other spells

Is it just me or is knight enchanter the most versatile mage spec regardless of difficulty as long as you have the right passives nearly all of the spells in the game can be spammed to keep shields

9:28 for lower builds

Playing this in 2021, this build is super!

knight enchanter with deflecting sword + ring of doubt + freezing fade step + winter's breath + explosion + barrage + shield = ability to solo dragons.

This gave me inspiration to get back into the game after a long time - I love the idea of being tanky without playing a tank

Looking forward to the gameplay demonstration.

Thank you starflorge, this video helped me alot

I get disappointed when I see a build video with no gameplay 😭

How do I get to the crossroads to get this armor, please let me know?

Which armor schematic is that?

I'm wondering the order to get skills in with this build

how do i get that gear in the video ?

I've been waiting 4 this one!!! ThanX

Does anyone know how these skills are set up on console?

Does anyone know what staff upgrades they used?

Is this build good damage or just good survivability cus I don’t have fun when it’s a long fight so would rift do that better

How do you get the amulet?

what materials did you use to make your armor?

Can you give a guide on how to build the final weapon?

I always play this build. No matter what swordmagebtype builds.

Nice! I actually happen to like knight enchanter (mainly because it was my first playthrough) but I can see why you don't like it so much. Regardless, I still really enjoyed the video. Seeing your videos really makes me want to hop back into the game each and every time lol.

How do you get the 2nd branch off option on your spells, like energizing fade step? I only have frost step available

What schematics are did you use

perhaps a bit late to ask but what mats are u using for crafting and/or masterwork materials??

I can't seem to find the armor that matches, can you post the schematics you used?

Right new playing qunarri firemage, planning on pyromancer build, fire necromancer, immolate searing glyph i think arry isnt good for long range mage builf and lasting flame

Where's the gameplay vid?

How did u get 101% crit DMG? Thin Staff Grip Schematic: 2x Offensive Dragon Staff Blade Schematic: 2x Offensive Both drop random in tier 3 chests...

6:34 with old KE i tried this upgrade for spirit blade and hated it can't remember why but i hated it :D so i chose the other1, i think the issue was it didn't do damage until it was max charged but sins i spam it a lot it was a disadvantage

This is the build i love the most, you could make a video on how to build it up to that build, for example on a lvl 10 human that just got the specialization. What things should i be getting on my way to that build. It feels like my spirit blade does nothing at this point.

thanks for the build. but what i would really want is a way to respawn dragons :(

I’m trying to make a mage run but this time I want to use the blade of tidarion as my main weapon is it viable with this KE build?

8:27 “Veiled Rip Toes” lol

May I know where to obtain the Superb Ring of Critical Chance? Tried googling but can hardly find any info. :(

This is a great video for learning the Knight Enchanter specialty. Also, the way you have the staff and armor spec'd is a big bonus. I can use that for my mage Inquisitor who is a Rift mage. This makes me want to take Vivienne out more often.

From urs and some1 elses ke build video i got usefull tips and changed the elf ke build a bit, he is after engame, can use him for dlc, fade blade immolate fire arry lightnig cage mane att skills close range, effective and danky, only giant is hard to solo, knock down is mayor issue lol, i just tested how well it works fir solo, ut usual are pice of cake

What is the armor you used in this it looks dope and I want it

Names of armor schematics?

hello!, I have been watching your videos for a while and thanks to you I really need to to replay da:i :D and I am going to replay it once due time limitation and I am trying to choose enjoyable class for my inquisitor for the whole game. I would like to choose between tempest, knight enchanter or rift mage. I dont need to be top DPS, but DPS needs to be at least solid so I can kill bosses/dragons etc... Rift mage seems to be quite good, but I am affraid I might be limited because it is based on weakness and some enemies are resistant to it... what would you recommend me then? :) And keep up your great work, I really like your videos, because DA:I is one of favorite games... definitely in my top 3!

What armor is that?

Why my skill tree doesn’t have two upgrades it’s just one:(

where can I get the staff and armor and, the add-ons to the staff

Best thing is that you can pretty much just find a amulet of power (for those who play on console) and then you can jsut duplicate it over and over and then you could be OP at even a low level, dunno about Xbox users but it still works for us on PS4

I thought the lvl Cap was 20 in this game, dlc raise the lvl Cap?

My vivian is lvl 24 and not enogh points to complete ur build, did they nerf skill points or does reseting decrese points? I figured i try, some passives are missing

I still play this game and I always use this build every play through. Agreed on Encore, it's the best allround staff.

What's music is the intro

What materials and upgrades did you use to get the Encore staff to 178 DPS? I can only get it to 165.

U know in dao and dai blizard makes my frame rate droop, its not 2bad, but ebough that it makes me want to use it less, i just remembered why i din't like it when solas activated it, i need to reset hes sills

What is it you dislike about KE?

Forgot to mention, i made new mage ke, del old one, had few reasons, lvl 16 currently

How can you get that belt out of trespasser dlc?

I know this is an old video but how did you get the tresspasser items while in the main game

Just started tha gamr 2019 august :v and pirate

Which DLC adds the extra abilities???

I discovered interesting ke build, spirit blade, immolate, fire arry, energy barrage, fade step, fade cloack and barrier, and just in case mark of the rift, i just go in midfle of the mobs and put arry down ant start spamming blade untill its ready to use again, ofc i use barrage to in the middle, to get 2 passives rarlier i used a glitch to get 2extra ammulet of bower, but it wont matter if i dont taje 1point with perk, if i dobt waste oerk point on it, i feel likr i dont need this complexitys like use of blizard ant static/lifhtning cage, just explaining what o discovered, this could give u new ideas to

I was wondering why would you rather go for magic instead of willpower?

what agreat build. sound pretty amazin g. looking forworth to he combat one. glad i havent made it to skyhold yet and chooose a special yet.

Isn't KE now Nerfed? (2021 Xbox) That's why I'm trying Rift mage instead. But I'd want to SPEC Vivian like this. Any advice for the build if AI is controlling???

How did you get that belt before playing the Trespassers DLC?

No-one gonna mention how he said "rip-toes"?

I started with 22 points on respec ill finish as i lvl up nice so far

Hello, first of all, thanks for great tutorial. It's really helpful and it saved me a lot of time testing it myself :) I have one question tho, I was able to get only 85 fire damage, 12% attack, 101% crit chance and 20 magic, but You are using materials from other DLC's, I suppose? (I have only Trespasser installed) Or am I missing something? :)

Here’s what I do every play through so I can get a lot of ability points as fast as I can. Step 1: get the Deft Hands, Fine tools perk at the war table. You need 4 points in secrets in order to get it. Step 2: Liberate crestwood by closing the rift in the lake (take over the nearby fort, open the dam and get to it) Step 3: Go back to the village, and there should be a locked house. In there you should find an amulet of power and I believe malikas guard. Step 4: Go to the workshop or whatever you call it, where you can find your storage box. Put the Amulet of power into the storage box and then when it is selected, press circle and cross at the same time, B and A if you’re on Xbox or whatever select and exit it is on pc. Congratulations! You just duped and item. Step 5: Repeat until you have as much as you need or until you hit your inventory limit. This glitch also works for weapons, armour and accessories. Have fun!

Would you please tell me all of your accessories meaning belts rings and amulets again. Just one question would a belt of health work with this build as well

I have a reaver question, how to manage health? Also about crit, i dont thinknits possible to get both chance and dam bonus to gear and if both would be low, but is chance itself enough? Well for ke it was quite usefull For gear i was thinking guard on hit 5, and str and resistances cause armor mostly has resistance option and stat option, i am also considaring whirlwind, well to get the passive i half to take it anyway but it mite be good for building guard

Is there anywhere I can find vanilla builds?

Did You spend the ability points in the order that You showed them?

How Do I start building this build by lvl 12?

Not a bad build, but you missed out on the all important barrier building. You can clock over 12K barrier and with enough attack and crit damage bonus with ring of doubt you can hit for over 50K crit* with fire mine. Not even close to a rogue though with Mark of death or a reaver warrior which I've managed to hit over 100k with both in a single hit. Reavers can infinitely build damage so long as there are enough creatures and for the rogue it was double damage potion with mark of death that netted me a 100k hit. I could only get the 100K hit on the reaver in one section which is the DLC the descent as the creatures non stop come.

Having two KEs in your team is insane aha

hello dude video is great but i have one question. How did u get ''Superb ring of crtical chance'' did u use cheat enginge or smth, because this ring doenst actually exist , just asking how to get it :)

Maybe showing combat in the same video?

how does he have 71 points to spend and he is only level 24?

How is this class as of 2020? Just got the game on sale for $5 lol

Yesterday I inflcted 10548 DMG in one of those uber dragons, at lv 20, using Blade of Tidarion (Dragon Bone + Master Lightning Rune). Now at lv 22 and 5k DMG is a constant, 8k pops up sometimes, but I always deal much more damage to dragons, maybe its that dragonologist doing... Some key differences (like using the first option of Spirit Blade) between our builds, but yeah, KE is OP. #mechanics.

nice build? will the build still work without the 2 crit rings? or do you know some good alternatives from the main game? (i dont own the dlcs)

I have a great game memory of me as knight enchanter doing emprise du lion at lv 18 or so, everyone died but I just kept whacking and made it 😆 too bad they nerfed it for no reason, I made a Champion file after that. 300hrs and still haven't ended game, the story doesn't do it for me, quit playing well over 2 years ago

I can't wait till I hit level 28.

Just curious will the race matter for this build ? I.e Qunari KE inquisitor ? Want to solo run the game on Nightmare mode + Trials 😬

this build works on patch 11 or got nerfed ?

Which is stronger? KE or Reaver?

How do you have 71 points to spend?

I feel like I just got my youtube achievement being the first to like the video ashashashsah Can't wait for the combat video btw :>

Lv 24 with 71 skill points to use and all tree already set? Is this possible?o.o I'm lv 14 and struggle with skill tree XD how ppl gain more skill points apart from 1 gained from level up?

which breed is best

how you have a lot points to spend?

Can i use this without dlc??

Starflorge what’s schismatic?

with KE i am melee more i use spirit blade a lot

Not one comment about the 71 Ability Points AFTER getting almost every ability in the game? How in the actual FAK?

i hate it that we only get 8 slots for abilities cause they had to damn down the gameplay down for consoles

i need to find those equipments lol

Honestly i cannot make this work. I have another, different method for making myself almost unkillable. I am probably doing something wrong.

I know I'm a noob and 6 years late and I pray you're doing well but over powered? I took my rank 11 Knight Enchanter to frost back basin and got my clock cleaned, I got wasted in seconds so I guess I either suck really bad or was way under level 🤷🏻‍♂️

Uuuuummm? 71 skill points, whaaaaaat?
