This is much more OP then old Origins AW\BM combo... this thing is just... wow...

 

First I got to skyhold and tested on level 12 viviene the tree...

 

on Knight Enchanter took all the skills and upgrade except last one.

on the Ice tree I took all the middle passives (regen when u stand 3 seconds, AOE freeze when your barrier splodes and bonus damage vs freezed targets).

 

 

So what do we have?

normal ranged attacks that can be chained for aoe at range.

Melee attack which is spammable and you will never run out of mana with that bypass!! barriers and defense etc...

when you attack and do damage you get barrier for free.

that barrier then explodes to freeze targets and gives you extra damage against them.

Then you got fade thingy which makes u invisible for 2 seconds and imune to damage... BUT upgrade it and stand inside an enemy to explode for.. 1000% weapon damage! lol... add to it ice tree spring ability for nuke sonic the hedgehog style.

Next if you upgrade the spirit sword melee attack you can now DEFLECT projectiles... any projectiles back at the enemy.

 

And if by any chance with all those goodies you still screw up and lost like... 2%? 4%? of your health... Resourgence! heal to max and focus based heal DoT for all party members....

 

This is glorious class and worthy of solo attempt!

I sooooo wanted to make a KE-winter mage and now it seems It was a good idea

[Kirikou]

Made a fire Knight Enchanter, it's also gloriously OP. Soloed a lvl 19 Vinsomer when my party died and I was a lvl 18. Owned his butt. 

 

P.S. Playing on Hard Mode

[Tevinter Soldier]

Is anyone playing KE on nightmare difficulty? How's it going so far?

[Warden Majere]

This is most certainly my favorite thing in a DA game since Blood Mage/Arcane Warrior! I do more tanking thank tank haha I went with the lightning/Knight enchanter route. Chain lightning and energy barrage set up my barrier perfectly. I mob on just about anything pretty hard ;-)

Could you share what attributes you focus on? Im curious if a knight enchanter should build dex/cunning for crit + crit damage or if pure mag/con is better?

[Googleness]

thing is....

you can't really die...

if you take some damage > go invisible > stand inside an enemy > boom 1000% > shields are full.

lost some health god forbid? resurgence. 

 

Hard part is getting to level 10\skyhold so you can get this awesome sauce god modness.

[Mellon]

I soloed dragons with KE on hard lol

[viperidae]

psst, get a staff upgrade with flanking damage you won't regret it. i have +15% flanking damage and the damage increase on spirit blade/fade step is immense

Bioware :- "We are going to balance the game to prevent overpowered characters".

 

& they end up creating a specialization that can make you more powerful than an Arcane Warrior + Blood Mage combination. LOL !

[WillieStyle]

I don't think KE are overpowered.  Your surviveability relies on dealing damage, and since you wear light armor and Barrier doesn't benefit from armor mitigation, a single knockdown or stun will remind you how much squishier you are than a Warrior.  Also, the dps is nice, but it isn't Tempest nice.

 

Overall, I think bioware did a nice job with balance.  The highest dps classes are glass cannons.  Then you have the absolutely indestructible Champion with mediocre dps.  Classes like KE are somewhere in between.  

 

Also, I think when a game is new, people tend to overvalue survivability, crowd control, and ranged classes.  Once we all master the game and its various dodgeable point blank AoE abilities, folks will come to appreciate the glass cannons.  Who knows, in a few months, the concensus might be that Rift mage is the best Mage spec.

I played my whole first run on Nightmare. The zillion archers in some of the later game fights were kind of annoying, but I think someone with enough dedication / practice can solo the game on Nightmare with KE. It is very broken if u get the right passive skills to complement it. Fade cloak being up nearly all of the time due to the fire tree passive makes u more or less immune to damage lol

[luckyloser_62]

I love my Knight Enchanter, I play a Storm KE, and with the proper set up it wrecks everything. Lay down an upgraded Static Cage, shoot off a chain lightning, then spam Spirit Blade. For even more fun, drop a Mark of the Rift on top of it all. 

[lastpawn]

As some others have mentioned, I actually think that Rift mage > KE.

 

KE's main strength is in that it can solo single powerful enemies, like Dragons. Meanwhile Rift mage can destroy just about every regular encounter with ease while provide strong boss damage as well. So take your pick of OP specialization.

It's true, KE is the "faceroll" build in the game. Can be nigh invincible.

[Cavemandiary]

KE is easily the best mage spec. Necro is severely underpowered, and rift mage only rivals KE due to pull of the abyss which is the best cc ability in the game. Enjoy!

[SomeoneStoleMyName]

Guys.... attributes...

 

If dmg = barrier... then you want cunning and dex on gear right? Since passives already cover magi/con/will?

Magic attack comes from Mag/Wil

Rift Mage is waaaay more OP than KE!

 

Rift Mage has a passive that gives you mana for damage dealt, and Stone Fist which has a ridiculous 8s cooldown. With the Fire passive that reduces cooldown when you cast spells, you can quite easily be casting spells nonstop, and have fade step and barrier off cooldown all the time, and be casting Fire Mine every 10s or so. Rift Mage and KE can both solo groups of enemies much higher level than themselves, but Rift Mage will kill them much faster.

[Cavemandiary]

I hadnt considered that synergy. Looks like you're probably right!

[tehhelios]

why are you playing nightmare if you gonna break the game with some overpowered spec?

 

You are playing that difficulty for a challenge right?!or is it bragging rights.

 

Bet the game is more challenging on hard if you dont use that spec, same as cheating boss AI, just dont see the point..

So, then, the only one left is Necromancer, which is boring as hell ...
