I've heard 'male Jessica Rabbit' and 'Phone sex operator' (not sure if compliment or insult), but never Roseanne Barr. Should I make another tutorial video, I'll keep it in mind.

Male Jessica Rabbit? What the...?  So you're not narcissistic, you're just drawn that way? Ok, bad joke.

Or! I could just get the guy who plagiarized my guides to narrate for me!

HA HA! I lol-ed.  Please no! I couldn't even get through a minute of that crap "I like to add a point here, and there.  I like to add 2 points here.  I like to.. I like to..."  AHH -click- closed.

I would suggest keeping the type white though, if anything.

Ive been redoing the brekker fight just to test these force.. thingys.

Fireball sucks. it might knock out low rogues, but not elites or a boss. Fist of the maker has mixed results, but again, dont think i actually managed to get elite rogues out of stealth. pull and burst both have shown very good results.

So i'm not sure.. my magic is 60, highest dps staff i could find. So far i have not managed to get good results with fist, fireball or cone of cold. Why is this? Is my magic to low? Is my staff to low dps 48 dps in i guess the middle of act 2

edit: Ok managed to get fist to work once now brekker doesnt budge without a pull or burst though
And even pull and burst dont always work, as ive seen assassins pop up a second after i cast it on the very spot. or they can move very... very fast

Mindblast(upgraded) seems to work on most rogues except captain rainer maybee and the other rogue before him.
It was reliable enough on all other rogues

I managed to "hit" a stealthed assassin with cone of cold, with the result that the red circle only showed, he was still unhittable. But I could see how the red circle moved for some steps and then it suddenly teleported behind the target for the backstab.

Best and only reliable way to stop assassins is to lock them in the center of a gravitic ring. Petrify works, too, but not very long.

Rage demons have surpassed the annoyance levels of even assassins/templar hunters for me. I can't unearth them once they dive into the ground and their backstabs do ridiculous amounts of damage which ignore fire resistance (100%). This means that my glass cannon party is getting obliterated by the 3-5 rage demons which pop up unless they act particularly stupid and keep attacking my dog. :/

[AreleX]

You can take Rage Demons out of stealth just like you can Assassins, as they function in largely the same way. I just ran through the Nexus Golem Gauntlet and did it several times using Pull and CoC.

With that DLC you downloaded there are plenty of easy ways to kill them.  I just did the Xebenkeck battle in 40 seconds.  Made for a **** video tho.

Really?! Awesome. I'll try it again then. Must have mistimed it or something.
It would definately make a Xebenkeck speed run easier. But might try a full primal/bloodmage setup first. If only tempest would zap things out of stealth...

Whaaat?! 40 seconds??!!! Why do I bother...I'm never going to beat that. Even bloody fenris usually struggles to kill me in that timeframe. Oh well, i'm hoping a brittle-archers lance combo mixed with a disorient-scatter/assault and a stagger-paralysing haemorrhage/chain should do the trick. I'm seeing if it's possible to never touch the elemental tree. haha

Heh.. Managed to do it in 34 seconds. It was a sweet video too   DLC items are so OP.

I have a slew of videos I want to mash together with some music.

I'm thinking that i'll mash my Xebenkeck Speedrun (with some of the evil tome fights for an introduction) together with this song. The only sucky part is I can't do it fast enough or without leaving the room. I think i might be attempting it too early (level 17) because I don't remember it been this hard last time....

I take forever to kill the rage demons (courtesy of no cold spells and no decent cold staff) and they just warp around one-shotting my completely fire resistant party!! Very frustrating.
Xebenkeck dies easy enough but even in the lucky cases when the rage demons focus their backstabs on my dog the horde of abominations unchanneled through a doorway becomes pretty tough. 

[AreleX]

Chain Lightning's arc will also take Assassins out of stealth, if used on a target near them. Jury's still out on if this works on Rage Demons, but I don't see why not.

[mr_afk]

Well, it hasn't worked for me yet. I've zapped assassins out of stealth but never a rage demon. I'm not sure how similar the 'dive-underground' is to stealth really. Though I suppose they have a similar untargettable-state mid-dive and irritating-ness about them.

I'll probably have to respec (again!) and try Xebenkeck with some cold spells/staves. Been able to freeze them mid-dive will be useful (only way to prevent their backstabs). It's a bit ridiculous to try to 'speed run' it when it takes up to 40seconds to kill the first wave alone.

Are you still playing an all mage party?

[mr_afk]

Me or Arelex? I've gave up on the fenris and three mages setup but am going back to it again. It works really well when you can pull of stagger CCCs really often - but rage demons/xebenkeck remain staggered for ridiculously short times making that hard to do. Additionally staggers are a more rare when against elites which all the enemies seem to be..
My brief stint with a Varric/Aveline/Anders setup didn't work very well either. Everyone would die besides Aveline and the disorient CCCs never really worked properly cos Aveline kept running out of stamina. I should be able to do it now - respecced into elemental.

Btw, how did you manage to get 34 seconds? What party setup/abilities?

[Jack-Nader]

Hawke rogue, varric, merrill and Anders.

[mr_afk]

So no CCCs? Or did you manage to pull off the brittle-archers lance/disorient-etc.
edit: I'm thinking I might change to that setup because currently fenris is useless and i'm getting a lot more brittles than I thought I would. Elemental mastery is pretty amazing.

[Jack-Nader]

no.. It's vastly more simple than that.

[mr_afk]

Thanks, that was enlightening. (sarcastic option)
So you auto-attacked them death??!

[brazen_nl]

Don't mind him, he's just building up the tension.

[mr_afk]

I KNOW but I can't handle this suspense!

Especially when despite all my fancy tactics and strategising I keep getting owned. Based on the videos of the all-ranged party I am starting to realise why things might be slightly easier on computer... Constantly microing the whole party is the hugest pain on xbox.

p.s. I just did it in ~32 seconds...

.....on casual. ahahaha. I think i'm going to take a break from this fight for a bit.
Edit: Wait..! Did I just uncover your secret technique to getting 34 seconds while only autoattacking?!! haha:P

Modifié par mr_afk, 02 mai 2011 - 12:47 .

[Jack-Nader]

I didn't only autoattack. I used 1 very powerful combo and and the most potent spell in the game while exploiting the DLC.

Same party, without exploiting the dlc will take aproximately 50 seconds.

Modifié par Jack-Nader, 02 mai 2011 - 12:56 .

[mr_afk]

Wait.. I forgot you're using an assassin. Let me guess - the dlc nature dagger has elemental weakness and the other +dmg against demons which = huge damage?
Then you used brittle-assassinate? Hm.. still not sure how that could get 34 secs. What's the most potent spell?
Hurry up and make a video! haha
