What is the saarebas spell they cast?  Does a lot of damage.  Looks like some sort of lightning spell. 

On a side note, I may not be the brightess bulb on the tree but how does one search the forums?

[naughty99]

I think it is Chain Lightning.

[Kilshrek]

Don't think so, I use Merrill's chain lightning and it's nothing like the Saarebas. It's probably a unique spell. Mages and their teleportation are the bane of my gaming experience.

On the search function, it used to be pretty obvious as a search bar but I honestly don't know where it's gone to now.. sorry..

[Galf706]

Devs have mentioned before that enemies don't get player talents. And I have no idea how to search, it bugs me.

It's not fair. The NPC spells are way more powerful than the PC ones, which for the most part, suck. Saarebas are so dangerous.

Isn't Saarebas also the name of the Blood Mage amulet?

[Novadove]

it's an annoying ball of lightning vortex... if u stay inside or near to it, your characters will get electrocuted to near death... very very irritating. that's why all my armor are socketed with lightning ward runes lol

[L33TDAWG]

I have also been wondering where the search bar went for quite awhile now.

Saarebas is the name Qunari give their mages I believe. And if you do the Saarebas quest in a certain way he will give you an amulet which gives you a blood magic bonus. Considering there is enough equipment in the game for only one blood mage, it's a very good thing. And early on the Saarebas ball lightning is a killer, but as you level up it becomes less deadly, and instead the blood mage aoe spell becomes a party killer.

[Impact969]

So i take it is not possible to get this spell?
Anyone got a name for this spell?
Know of a mod being made to give us this spell?

Thanks for the info.
As regards blood mages; I've seen 4 rings, 2 staffs and at least one each of amulet and belt for blood mages plus Hawke can get robes, more than enough stuff to run both Merrill & Hawke as Blood mages with a stupid level of health to mana multipliers.

Yea that spell is usually instant death.  Does Dispel neutralize that? 


Edit:

Tried to dispel it but didn't work, but I'm not sure.  I don't think I could cast it quick enough reguardless.

Certainly; it's the screw-you-for-not-immediatly-stun-locking-me-spell.

Yup, apparenlty unless you have pretty high magic/lightning resistances. Though I did have protection from lightning runes equiped on everybody and they still took a damned hard beating from that spell. Your only real protection from it immediatly pouncing on them as soon as they spawn in and simply not allow them to get any spell off.

[Kilshrek]

Yeah, you have to hit the caster, Dispel or any magic nullifying abilities don't work once it's been cast, so far as I know and tried.

[Rehwyn]

That Saarebas spell and the blood mage AoE spell are probably the two most dangerous things I've encountered outside of bosses. If I see one of them in a fight, I immediately CC and destroy them or suffer the consequences.

LOL


I'm trying to take on 4 blood mages atm and they are just rocking me.  I can't even get to them.



On topic:  That spells has a really large radius dmg too.  It kind of has a 2 stage hit.  The first seems like some minor dmg when it is casted and then the explosion to finish you off at the end.


Here is a good pick of it.  This battle was a major pain.  They have the arrow trap that fires off like a minigun on the mid platform of the steps and the Saarebas just sniping you from the top balacony.

Yeah, the saarebas lightning orb is a real killer. That said, mages should always be the first target in any skirmish. I always throw every CC, stun, freeze, or whatever to immobilize and keep them from casting. Follow up with assasinate, mighty blow, or whatever big damage spell you can must to eliminate the mages.

[kingsims]

this is why its best to max out the templar tree asap slience and dispel magic stop those lighting orbs. Mana clash in DA:O was super OP because most mages had more mana than health so it killed them instantly. Thats why its not in the game because it would be instant death for any mage you encounter if you got his resistance down.
