A question did you just give your companions hp?  how they have such high hp and big mana/stam pools and still do ok damage. Nice video but I am suprised to see all you companions with same hp as you and big mana pools and still able to do ok damage.

The Isabela video is finished! What originally started out as a bad idea quickly became fun, interesting, and challenging. Here are a few of my runs with her in the party. Also in the video: the dirtiest Merrill mage nuke I have ever seen in my LIFE.

Berserker Vanguard - Isabela Edition!

Let me know what you think!

That music sounds a lot like the techno version of Gladiator soundtrack

I like the pirate theme

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr matey ye gunna walk tha plank!

Love the vids! I am curious though, do you ever use Mighty Blow or Scythe, or do you just have them for pre-reqs for Sunder?

I'm re-rolling a Vanguard (manHawke this time), and I can't decide between a Zerker auto-attack or an ability spammer. I finished my FemHawke auto-attack Zerker and had so much fun with it, I kinda want to do it again.

Sort of. The health bar size is relativistic, and I don't have that much HP (Merrill and Anders both have more than I do, I think). For Merrill, I go MAG/CON, for Anders, I go MAG/WILL/CON, for Varric I go DEX/CUN, and for Isabela, I've been going DEX/CUN with a few points thrown toward CON and WIL. I think a baseline 20 CON would be good for her, so that's what I'm going for.

I use both, but not in a straight up 'GRR, DAMAGE!' kind of way. I mostly use Scythe for mobility/interrupting/positioning purposes, and to take out things like Archers quickly so I can get right back into engaging the immediate threats. I use Mighty Blow for interrupts and knockdowns, not damage.

The music is DJ Tiesto's remix of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme, though I kind of see how you got Gladiator.

I will be trying out this build at some point I went Templer/Reaver with my last warrior was fun silencing mages when Anders cast haste was like he turns into a beast. I will also try and see if I can make Fenris/Aveline less of a nuisance in fights with the aoes and all.

The berserker build looks a lot of fun with the speed and everything I think I will do a run with my mage then try out this warrior after. First time I have seen a non squishy Isabela good job on her. She kind of like Zevern in DAO the squishy one only if you do not build her tactics and stats correctly.

[garlicburp]

are you just skipping master chests then? the only lock picking boost item i have got isabela can use is the thrice something dagger from act 1. in order to open master chests don't you need like 40 con without an item? i know there are more items in act 3 but i am still in act 2 and have seen at least 3 master chests. I realize chests probably aren't a big deal but i go crazy if I pass something

[Zhijn]

AreleX teach me great master! How did you master Isabella, stats, tactic ect!.

Whatever i do with her she runs in and agro half a mile of lusting demos,raiders and what not, only to be thrown on her back within 30 seconds. mmm!. xD

[AreleX]

I dunno, guys. I decided to really put her to the test by going to the Nexus Golem Gauntlet (which, if you've seen the vid, you know I can easily clear), and, well, it ain't going so good. I'm still playing around with different things to see what will work best, but...yeah...

Isabela death count: 13 (and rising)

Elixir of Heroism just raises your level doesn't it? So you don't get to take two abilties on the same level as far as I understand it.

So helping a demon (Torpor) is bad like you said, but reading a tome of ancient evil blood magic is okay?

1. I meant get 1 skill on your level-up, and an additional skill with the Elixir of Heroism.

2. Victimless crime, not the same as letting a demon inhabit a kid with the power to kill people in their dreams, if you really want to take it there. Moreover, it was a joke. I was joking. I do that sometimes.

3. I explained how to get Ser-Pounce-A-Lot a few pages ago. He's Anders' best offensive weapon.

But that's not how the Elixir of Heroism works? If you use it you gain a level, so you'd be level 19 then right? You don't get an additional skill point by itself.

Number two, fair enough

You could have just told me Ser Pounce-A-Lot doesn't exist, would have saved me flipping through the pages Ctrl+F-ing and reading the nonsense

[XOGHunter246]

To clarify things the cat (Ser Pounce-a-lot) does not exist in DA2 I have no idea why it is listed lol 100% does not exists.

And what fun is there to be had in that?! Come on, you guys didn't love the old days before you could instantly confirm things on the internet, and how someone's friend's cousin's sister's boyfriend's dog told you about this awesome cheat that didn't really exist? I honestly had no idea so many people would be confused by it. I don't know if it's their fault for not realizing it's a joke, or my fault for taking advantage of their trust. Nobody wins!



I'll make the Elixir of Heroism entry easier to understand. Thank you for the heads-up.

Nice vids. It never gets old seing mobs explode. Did you set up Isabella's Merciless Strike to use on Staggered Targets? and did you see any good results from it?

Yes, I have her set to do it on staggered Elites.

Also, 'good results' is an understatement; she either one-shots or near one-shots every single Elite I stagger. The first clip 2ith the 2530 is from Merciless Strike off a stagger, and skip to 1:46 and watch her absolutely mollywhop Cor Blimey (the Dog Lords boss) off my stagger. Tactics from the situation:

Hawke engages Elite, lands stagger

Merrill

Enemy: Target rank is Elite or higher - Use current condition for next tactic
Enemy: Target of Hawke - Hex of Torment (Upgraded to Death Hex)

Isabela

Enemy: Target rank is Elite or higher - Use current condition for next tactic
Enemy: STAGGERED - Explosive Stike (Upgraded to Merciless Strike)

If I catch an Assassin pre-cloak, he's a ****ing goner.

That is a similar setup to what I use for her, Hawke (if DW rogue), and Sebastian Chain type attacks. I also add, if I can spare the Tactic, is one for using it always on Boss or Above. First one might be low, but from the 2nd onward, it will be hitting max surely as it cooldowns and the chain builds up. I think bosses should be hit it by it as much as you can.

Anyone remember the old EGM April Fools cheat for fighting Ryu's Master on Street Fighter II? It was fake but great. Funny thing, he turned real for Street Fighter 4.

Old school fake cheats and their frustration are relics I miss too. You should watch GameTrailer's Pop Fiction, the series takes old school cheat/myths and tries to test them.

How do you keep stamina up at your lower levels AreleX? Im only level 9 and bersker is utterly eating away my stam after 4-5 2h swings. xD

Im wondering if i should stack +stam items or +regen?.

[godlike13]

Would whirlwind be a good investment?

Im playing on Xbox, so i only have so many quick buttons to choose from.

At lower levels, I think it is necesary to learn when to turn on or off Berserk. Due to lacking the Reaver passive at lower levels, you shouldn't have it on 24/7. Hayder's Razor +24 stamina helps too.

[Nagatsu]

tryin this out so far insane and still in year one o.o

[raisttelnise]

Thanks for the build. I twinked it a little bit into my direction but the idea remains the same. In act3 nightmare now and the only problem was Arishok duel (ok he is not the problem just too much running for my taste so i left the save for future and just party ganked him.

BTW fight with arishok (regular not duel) is just awsome with this char - like most of the trash fights i guess

Thanks again

Yeah i am turning it off on most of the fights at the lower levels (vs elites especially) or hawke will scream, no actually whine my ears red. xD

Check my low-level Berserker Vanguard videos for how I play around 8-10. I get +stamina gear, and use the Belt of Unknowing (found in the Deep Roads) pretty much the entire game.

And as for Whirlwind, I'd say no. Too high of a stamina cost, too many points needed to invest to make it useful for this build, too many opportunities to uttely destroy an aimlessly meandering Anders. You'll be fine with Scythe, Mighty Blow, and auto-attacks boosted with Cleave, Sacrificial Frenzy, Berserk, etc.
