So what do you think of Mutiny with a Frost rune, as opposed to blowing huge money on Cold-Blooded? I'll be doing the Weapons section soon, and I'd like to provide a decent alternative to it.

Any staff you pick up with a higher base damage than Cold Blooded is better than Cold Blooded imo

[AreleX]

True, it's just that it's easier to tell people 'go here and get this and put a Frost rune in it' than 'go here and reload the area until you see a decent staff in the shop'.

Mutiny has, I believe, 37 cold damage, +40 mana, +107 attack or something like that, and a rune slot.

That's a good idea, and seems to be an answer to one of the issues I've had with him, which was when combat would initiate a ways from the enemy, he'd be missing perfect WB setup opportunities because he was too busy sitting a mile away casting Martyr. I'll give it a shot, thanks!

I think your Ander's tactics in the Glass Cannon section may be incorrect, you have him set to use Heal on Aveline without Aveline being part of your party.

Same with Sebastian, where Varric is suppose to be in the Glass Cannon team.

just assume it says warrior or rogue

Heal is on specific characters because of a bug involving Dog reaching Heal threshold before an ally, which forces the mage into a never ending attempt at healing an untargetable Dog.  This will cause the mage to ignore an ally who falls under the threshold after the Dog.  So, we adapt and use extra specific tactics.

edit:
another solution could be to have a tactic aimed at the problem:

ally: hp: <50%: deactivate: Summon Mabarii
ally: hp: <50%: Heal

tactic deactivation of Mabarii will ignore the cooldown timer where manual control can not.
This deactivate has an added effect of giving you 2 dog taunts, which are incredibly powerful.

I love "deactive: Summon Mabarii"  I have it at the end of my tactics so after combat the dog is removed and ready for the start of a new fight.  It solves the problem of the dog returning to his last spawn point.

Don't go soft on these noobs.  If they need to shop, tell em to shop. 
Not that Mutiny is a bad suggestion at all, but dont shy away from the better random items.

Been testing a few things in act 2 with something similar to this:
Hawke has Heroic Aura leaving anders to just Vengeance

so with 20% consumed I'm using:

self: mana: >75%: skip tactics
self: Hp: >75%: Martyr
self: mana: <10%: Lyrium Poultice

He's not burning a useless Martyr at the start of combat or a 2nd cast right after the first one.
Because of this, his overall dps is up.

If you do need him to have Heroic,
make sure he has Rock Armor or Elemental Weapons as well and reduce threshold levels to 50%.
Anders will have 45% sustains leaving him in the same situation if he was at 20%, just 5% from the mark.
This will cut into the mana generated back though.  You'll end up with 2.65% rather than 4%, as previous, from Martyr. 
This is another reason my Hawke is taking the sustains.

9. Self: Surrounded by at least four enemies - Activate: Bravery
10. Enemy: At least one enemy is alive - Deactivate: Bravery
11. Self: Mana or stamina <50% - Skip tactics
12. Self: Surrounded by at least four enemies - Activate: Shield Defense
13. Enemy: At least one enemy is alive - Deactivate: Shield Defense

how does this act?

He's lazy, what can I say. Bothered him about it since day one. Since we're doing this in public now anyway. 

[SuicidalBaby]

He's not lazy, he's busy.....doing stuff.

[AreleX]

Very important stuff, like...ah...uh...I got nothin'.

But I can't, so I'm doing housekeeping on my guides. I'll get around to fixing Aveline's tactics! I swear!

Just to share, I took Topor's deal... yes I'm a bad person and I'm fine with that. It's really hard to turn down 10 attribute points in 1 quest you know.

At least Merrill will like him.

warrior's rally seems to be enough even for long fights, especially now that it actually works

edit: Ill test your idea later. keep in mind, blood of my enemy is pretty much a full heal off a Walking Bomb
