Just completed my first rogue play through last week and have started a 2h warrior run now, which I'm not to pleased with at the moment... early days yet though.

Anyways, did anyone find the Armistice skill fairly useless? It seems no matter when or where I use it, the agro is not dropped from my targeted character. I got a fed up  using it after seeing Varic shuffling for his life with a few bandits chasing him even after I dumped the skill straight on top of him and his assailaints.

I have yet to see Varric, Isabella or Sebastian successfully use armistice or goad, and then deagro. They still get swarmed along with any mages in my party.

Weird agro system, or maybe its just my game.

Whatever enemies you are trying to de-aggro using Armistice or Goad has to fall within the aoe of the ability. Archers at range that are trained on you or your companions will continue to shoot you since they weren't inside the circle.

I know that much, I am more annoyed over the few sword wielding bastards chasing my intended Armistice target who are in the AoE effect still chasing him/her like they have lyrium strapped to their ****s.

I am rather surprised Armistice is not working for you; I consider armistice the most useful rogue talent by far. I play DA2 on PC, and armistice always works for me. All I can think of is maybe having a rogue or fighter run up to Varric and try to fend off whatever is chasing him. You aren't trying to make Varric cast armistice on himself are you?

Nope, I am the one casting armistice, but still they chase my target.

maybe Varric is just number one AND number two in the threat list :D Wouldn't surprise me at least... he and anders both seem to have a death wish coded in their characters so that it overrides all the tactic settings or your manual commands during fights

Heard that Armistice and Goad is glitched on the consoles. I can confirm this as I also used then to no real effects

Maybe it has or hasn't been fixed, but enemies sure do seem to go after Varric like a dog would a bloody steak.

The strange thing is that even in Origins, my archer companions always seemed to be the primary target of enemies, rather than the heavily armored, taunting tank. Not much different in DA2.

I find Armistice works, and I'm playing on the XBox 360.

Whether or not it's a good investment of a talent, though, is up for debate.

That's actually because they're doing heavier damage.

Many times in Origins or DA2, my archers would come under fire, even before they have a chance to do damage. That's why I usually had Leliana keep defensive fire up, and Nathaniel use similar rogue talents. They weren't using Arrow of Slaying/Critical Shot/Accuracy.

Not a major issue, though I always wondered why the archers would come under fire and not the mage or perhaps a dual wield rogue. It seemed as if they had a big sign over their head saying, "I'm fragile! Kill me first!"

My guess would be that your archers usually fired the first shot, while your melee memebers would still be walking towards enemies. And bows do heavier damage than staffs, so in that kind of situation it's only natural that enemy would assume the archers to be the biggest threat on the battlefield.

My mages always get heavily targeted - probably because I play them as nukers with healing. I'm building Armistice into Varric's build this run, never tried it before, but sounds useful...
