My own on-topic contribution:

One Shotting Dragons



For anyone on this thread who has been playing for any amount of time, Sera is the queen of dragon fights.

So to replicate the link above, you'll need a good crafted bow. Swan Bow works best IMO but since it's a random drop, the Masterwork Spiked Bow works just as well (possibly a little better since it has an offensive cloth slot).

Crafted armour with an even split between Dexterity and Cunning helps as well although I favour Cunning as a means of indirectly raising her crit chance.
Sturdy Prowler Armour (or the Superior version which, unsurprisingly, is superior), Scout Coat Boots, Prowler Armour Arms and the Superior Adventurer Hat will all achieve this but if you can find it, the Superior Skirmisher Hat is a little better.
Also, Mighty Offense Tonic with the Crit Damage upgrade helps big time as well.

As for skills, I consider the following to be essential:
  • Cheap Shot (Sabotage Tree) - Sunders armour on a critical hit
  • Ambush (Subterfuge tree) - Allows any attack from stealth and for a few seconds afterwards to ignore 50% of an enemy's armour
  • Killer's Alchemy (Tempest tree) - Boosts damage by 15% any time a potion or flask is used, that includes health and regeneration potions as well. Can be stacked.
  • Pincushion (Archery tree) - Every attack hits 5% harder over a 10 second period.
    Doesn't sound impressive until you consider that Thousand Cuts hits 38 times in about 10 seconds.
  • Thousand Cuts (Tempest tree) - This one is obvious.
  • All three Flasks (Tempest tree) - Again, obvious.
  • Poisoned Weapons (Sabotage Tree) - This one is optional since it's really not all that useful a skill.
Now, the method:
  • To start, use Flask of Lightning and then start taking whatever potions and tonics you have to boost your damage with Killer's Alchemy and if you have it, use Poisoned Weapons as well.
  • Once Flask of Lightning is over, use Flask of Fire for an additional boost from Killer's Alchemy.
  • Use Stealth and hit the dragon with Thousand Cuts.
If you've done it right, it should look like the video above. If not...well, ****.
And if simply killing dragons isn't enough, hit your target with Static Cage and Mark of Death first.

And for those wondering, it should be possible to do it to DLC enemies.

(Jaws of Hakkon spoiler ahead, showcases a Tempest rather than Sera though)

Maybe when they come back we can discuss reopening the old thread, if they are willing or keeping this one. I would miss the history from the old one as so many times I searched the thread for different conversations. The history of all the screenshots, PhotoShop drawings and artwork, just my opinion but I would like the old thread with the new added to it. I don't know the workings of the board well enough but hopefully it's possible. I better stop, feel like I'm rambling (again).

It's possible, they did it with the Cullen thread (twice I think)

If they were willing to merge the two threads, I would really like that.

Also, I finally made a female Inquisitor to romance Sera with. It'll be painful not being able to romance Cassandra, but I also adore Sera.

You beat me to it.... one day earlier. :P I actually thought to give it one more day and if nothing, i'd start a thread myself. Saved me the trouble. :P

I doubt it's off-topic discussion though, since Cullen thread would have been closed for that ages ago as well. It has quite lot of that and it has never been problem.

 

Hmm, maybe messaging Allan or Conan would help, those were the one's that got Cullen thread back up, since mods are pretty much faceless here (and I think they are out-sourced as well..).

I know, right? She's a classy lady. I mean, look at how graceful she is when she's getting her picture taken.
