Don't you think that a more standard, reliable build should be the placeholder, rather than something that's... experimental?

[SuicidalBaby]

like what was there originally ? refresh the page

[aethernox]

You're right, I don't know what I was thinking.

;D

[SuicidalBaby]

that dex thing was from the infancy of the thread you referenced. Ive just been distracted with subjects like the advanced tactics lessons, link in sig, and the subsequent bug finding/reporting to change it.

It does the Slaves Health in damage, unmodified. There were several posts concerning it around page 4, I'll see if I can link it.

here is where the discussion begins.

Does Blood Slave actually work with the patch? I remember seeing people saying it didn't, but I don't know if they meant 'broken' doesn't work, or 'useless' doesn't work.

Awesome guide, by the way.

This was asked in another thread but I'll ask it here, do grave robber and one foot in actually work? They seem to have very little effect.

[SuicidalBaby]

I have yet to DL the patch from Sony so I can not speak toward issues with the patch. A vanilla install does have both spells and upgrades functioning as intended on ps3. Their value toward maximising is questionable at best.

Thank you for this guide. But is there any point in being a Blood Mage beside roleplay reason and larger potential mana pool.
Is Hemorrhage that great?

[SuicidalBaby]

100% sustains and yes

[Ndutz]

How does Spirit Healer compare to Force Mage then. You get 50% party heal every 40 secs, ressurect ability and Vitality.
As a BM you dont have to worry about the cost associated with switching healing aura on and off. With your healing capability you shouldnt worry too much about killing p-arty members through FF and you can use sacrifice more liberally.

[SuicidalBaby]

IMO
Spirit Healer nerfs the build, 6 reactive abilities just to get the only skill truly worth a damn. Ive played through twice as SH/BM and find the whole experience repulsive. FM/BM is the path to take. You can wait for something to happen or you can make it happen.

I have been waiting for your Merrill build for some time and am glad to finally see it up.

A couple of questions:
Is it worthwhile in your opinion to give Merrill a second option to take advantage of STAGGER?  Like Crushing/Paralyzing Prison?
Is it necessary to get fill in the rest of Primal for this build?  Would it weaken her to leave out the rest of Primal?

Thanks!

[SuicidalBaby]

That build is designed around death hex.
Im planning a second build which will be more of a baskins robbins design.

Well Cp is kind of the only option for more stagger, heh. Im not sure how to respond.

Suicidal... I read through a vast majority of this thread and noticed that you were tinkering with a more aggressive Aveline build (the one posted on the 1st page doesn't take into account any CCC from Varic) but I dont recall seeing if you posted your new version of her.

Also... Since I am tired of Anders and Aveline for that matter, have you or anyone else tinkered around with the party of BM/Force Hawke; Varic (as you spec him); Merril (as you spec her) and Anders? That would remove the need to go BM/SH (as I gather you loathe) and with Merril being a powerhouse setting her up with the Forcemage abilities (from hawke) would only serve to make her a better tank no? Or would having to micromanage Merril's health be too much of an issue (turning on and off her blood mage ability) if she were the only tank?  Or is the benefit from the Aveline setting up Chain lightning/Hemorrage too amazing?  This is my first go around with a mage.  Did Nightmare with my Assassin/Bow Hawke.

Thanks for the advice in advance.

I hate SH/BM, doesn't mean it doesnt work. My issues concerning SH stem from the revival bugs more than anything.
In the absence of Anders, Im assuming you meant Fenris in your group, it can go many ways.
The PC brittle build, albeit altered, works well in this capacity. Subbing BM for SH with mild force gives options toward support control. This would have Varric in a Bianca(archery) build instead of control.

SH/BM, was part of the Isabela run. Allowing more survival during Act 1, but not efficient by any means. Your group members need to pick up the slack.

Avalines build is a hands free, most of the time, nightmare setup for novices to nightmare. I would expect a more aggressive player to include Assault/Battery and Disperse to increase dps, but this would require a hands on approach untill they introduce a tactic that checks the range of allies.

I had a blast using the Merrill/Isabella/Varric builds, and adapting the Fenris tactics for my 2H reaver. Absolutely DESTROYED Orsino & Meredith.
Does anyone on here have a link to some good PC rogue builds?
