Greetings,

I was hoping that I could get a critique/some guidance on targeting/usage of Force Mage abilities. I've looked at a lot of the builds and perhaps because this track is left primarily to the PC it doesn't seem to get a lot of love as far as tactics setups go.  

I threw something together quickly for Bethany in a Legacy run-through borrowing heavily from AreleX and SuicidalBaby's examples. 

01. Self: Health < 25% - Use Health Potion
02. Self: Mana or Stamina < 10% - Use Lyrium Potion
03. Hawke: Health < 10% - Barrier
04. Hawke: Health < 25% - Heal
05. Varric: Health < 10% - Heal
06. Self: Surrounded by at least 3 enemies - Telekinetic Burst
07. Self: Being attacked by a melee attack - Mind Blast
08. Enemy: Target of Hawke - Use current condition next tactic
09. Enemy: Rank is Elite or higher - Hex of Torment
10. Enemy: Clustered with at least 2 .enemies - Use current condition next tactic
11. Enemy: Target at Short Range - Cone of Cold
12. Enemy: Target is Normal or higher - Winter's Grasp
13. Enemy: Target is between medium and long range - Gravitic Ring
14. Enemy: Target is between medium and long range - Firestorm
15. Enemy: Nearest visible rouge: Use current condition next tactic
16. Enemy: Target rank is Elite or higher - Pull of the Abyss
17. Self: Any - Activate Arcane Shield
18. Self: Any - Activate Elemental Weapons
19. Enemy: Using ranged attack - Attack
20. Enemy: Attacking Varric - Attack

So kind of a kitchen sink approach except for Fireball and Fist of the Maker. 

Bethany's abilities at 25th level (I had her basically loaded out to sub for Merrill while running a Rogue Hawke and having Ander's for healing) speced out at 2 Magic:1 Will / 1 Magic:1 Will:1 Constitution every other level. 

Elemental:
Winter's Grasp + Winter's Blast
Cone of Cold + Deep Freeze
Elemental Mastery
Firestorm + Apocolyptic Firestorm
Fireball
Pyromancer

Creation:
Heal+Greater Heal

Entropy:
Hex of Torment

Arcane:
Elemental Weapons
Arcane Shield + Arcane Wall + Elemental Shield
Mind Blast
Barrier

Force:
Fist of the Maker
Unshakeable
Gravitic Ring + Gravitic Sphere
Telekinetic Burst
Pull of the Abyss + Edge of the Abyss

Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.

No. I flip flop between normal difficulty and high difficulty based on how long it is taking me to slog through standard mobs.

then you can do whatever you want with npc force mage abilities. the reason myself and others don't give them to bethany is because they are friendly-fire hell on a bot.
