Those two revenants will own your entire party no matter who your party consists of. Their pull bypasses armor. They hit for around 170 HP on a regular pull, 250 on a crit. If both use their mass pull at the same time it is likely to be a party wipe. That was the only fight in the entire game that was troublesome for my current party configuration. I ended up running like a little girl and shooting them at range.

As it should be.Monsters like revenants should be the most dangerous enemies in the game,not street thugs with daggers.

What's the current speed record for Varnell? I think I'll have a crack at it.

[Jack-Nader]

Best i've done with rogue hawke, varric, merrill and anders is 47 seconds.

Varnell Speed Run

Might try it again when I'm feeling less lazy, but that's the best I got on 3-4 tries. Excuse the mild choppiness, I didn't feel like recording another run.

[Jack-Nader]

Hawke mage -> excels at klling the mobs but struggles to kill varnell in a decent time frame.
Hawke rogue -> Excels at killing varnell but takes longer to kill the mobs.

Next run through I am going to try something a little different. Should be able to pull a better time.

[mr_afk]

Been unable to aim fatiguing fogs first try -> Taking forever to do the fight.

But yeah, a mage hawke can kill varnell really fast if you use the combination of:
Disorient (Varric) --> Claymore+Scatter/Assault (Aveline) = Stagger
Stagger --> Paralysing Haemorrhage (Hawke) = Dead (Varnell)
(Exploding a walking bomb near him also helps)

Based on that setup/procedure I managed to kill varnell in ~10 secs, which is still slower than Jack-Nader's assassinate
But my main problem after that part was that I didn't have many aoe spells such that my mob killing speed was similar or slower than a rogue. I think that not including that horrendous job of aiming varric's fatiguing fog I got ~1min using that sort of method.

I think it would have been faster if I had more aoe spells so didn't have to staff-attack everyone to death but can't be bothered redoing it atm. Don't think i'll be able to beat 47 secs anyway.

I cbf'd speed running Xebenkeck and am proud to say I ran like a true wussy straight down that corridor turned around and dominated all those stupid demons without any problems. I think i'll leave the speed runs of that fight to a non-spirit/non-mage setup as hawke was limited to auto-attacks and the occasional haemorrhage. Good news is that I'm now in act 3 so I should be able to gear up and become a proper crit-mage.

Night Lies speed run = 50 seconds.  Party was Rogue Hawke, Merrill, Anders and Bethany.  I used that fire DLC bow.. very OP

*edit .. make that 43 seconds.  IMO Should be able to pull sub 40.

*edit... 37 seconds.. don't think it can be done much faster than this.

Didn't the Guardsman Pretender's ridiculous fire weakness get fixed in the patch? As in, it seemed like they were weaker to fire than anyone else was to anything in the whole game.

[tonnactus]

Sebastian should have now a big advantage over varric...(elemental bow is better then bianca with enchantements)

Great videos. Always fun. Quick question- which enemies are considered to be "without blood" for the purposes of Paralyzing Hemorrhage? It seems like nothing is immune to it. (I didn't see anything immune to blood magic on IN1's reference sheets either)

[mr_afk]

Only golems and meredith's statues are immune. It would be pretty strange to discover that golems had blood inside haha

[Irish Porkchopp]

I find it strange that skeletons, demons, and undead have blood. Oh well.

[AreleX]

What's the record for Brekker? I'm getting pretty close to that, so I'll take another crack at a speed run.

ALSO!

Head over to the fan group and tell me what your favorite video is! My episode of Inside the Actor's Studio is probably a bit premature, but I sometimes look at my folder full of videos and sometimes wonder which I like the best, and which others do, as well (though the obvious answer is all of them).

the worst player has it right, only stone golems and meredith's statues are immune

My record for Brekker is 18 seconds. My average is 20 seconds.  I do expect to do it a tad faster than 18 with this current play through.  I guess it will depend on how quickly the 2nd wave of assassins spawn.

No points for second place. All I'm saying.

Nice videos.
Rock armor is really ugly(when i played it didnt disturb as much as watching it)
Even the Dragon Age Origins version was better.

[AreleX]

I've basically stopped wearing it altogether. I don't get hit enough to justify being that ugly (even if I did, I'd still stop because I'm vain like that), so I leave it off, even with my pathetic health bar.

Rock armor should look,in concept of course(this amount of details we wouldnt see on current consoles anyway),like this:


Or at least there should be a option to hide it,like with the helmets.

[Jack-Nader]

I've been doing the same thing. I've been running with no rock armor on any of my mages. I figured if Bethany can make it through the entirety of act I without needing it then none of my party members should need it. This concept worked well for me until I encountered Night Lies where my rogue was actually getting interrupted a bit. I had also been experimenting with Anders vengence talent trying to see if I could bleed any extra damage out of him. Everytime I looked in his direction he was flopping around all over the floor. I decided I would boot Merrill out because she lacks haste and add Aveline. Aveline's Battle synergy is technically a party wide rock armor. This actually worked pretty well. It let me consistently break the 35 second completion mark. Aveline is still pretty damn useless. She just can't run fast enough to get a kill. However I think her ability to negate interrupts Hawke and the rest of my teammates is enough justification to keep her in my party from now on.

[tonnactus]

To bad all the sustains basicly reduce her stamina bar to nearly zero.(i also let her use shield wall all the time,because without it she isnt better then fenris)
And there are not much good +stamina gear for warriors.
