Both My character (who is an elf) and Cassandra have the same custom made armor/shields. THey have the same amount of stats, or at least close enough its not a huge difference.

 

yet....

 

In fights, Cassandra.. who is a heavily clad female warrior with an epic shield and defense, is getting chewed to hell and back, while my lithe little dainty elf is a stalwark unbreakable tank... with the same stats...

 

I don't get it..

 

Why is Cole and Solas who have less armor, etc. taking 20x more hits than Cassandra suddenly? I even turned off her war cry to ensure enemies don't focus her and she's still the first to die immediately, while taking far less hits than anyone else in the party.

 

Edit:

 

After someone posted about the whacky defense %'s, I looked at Cassandra's....

 

Defense:

 

Magic Defense : -290%

Melee Defense: -292%

Ranged Defense: -356%

 

 

This explains why she insta dies..

[XDamienDaKillaX]

In my experience, any warrior who isn't a tank gets decimated. That's Iron Bull for me; he's the potion sponge in my party since he's a two hander. On the other hand, my guard guzzling Inquisitor has NEVER died. Also, Solas and Cole may be drinking potions so fast that you don't even notice it, it happens all the time to me.

[Aethena]

Still doesn't make sense. She gets guard as much as my character. Yet she gets nearly 1 shot as soon as a battle starts..

[XDamienDaKillaX]

Check her gear, you may have given her an item that makes her take a ton more damage (ive seen ones that increase taken by 100%) in return for dealing like, 10% more damage.

She has the same exact custom made equipment my main character does. The main Char can take a crap ton of hits and keep going, she takes about 2 and insta dies. Even Cole who has 80 less Armor and 300 less HP takes 8 more hits than her...

 

I don't get whats going on..

Sounds like a bug/glitch like to me mate, my Cassandra is a beast who never dies on Hard... whilst Solas/Varric/Myself(Mage) get eaten a lot (as they should).

[adembroski]

I have exactly the same problem. Cassandra just gets pummeled.

Haven't had the same problem with Iron Bull, oddly enough.

Try looking at your attributes page.

 

There was a post on the forums here about somebody finding their defense stats all had crazy values (in the -100s), which could cause damage to scale greatly.

 

Can't think of any other reason, unless you loaded all her armor into front armor and she's just getting hit in the back all the time (even then, she shouldn't be any worse than Cole, so who knows what's going on).

I'm playing through on normal but my level 18 cass hardly ever needs potions and pretty much never dies. There has to be an issue with the build.

Cass is probably my best tank of the 3 warriors (IB less so, but no shield).

 

Does it still happen with different gear?  Do you notice any difference compared to no armor at all?  Does it happen when you're controlling Cass?

[DarkAmaranth1966]

Same exact or is your PC gear crafted with even one different material? It makes a difference.

[Sardoni]

Make sure the weapon doesn't have this one it:

 

Berserk: +10% damage bonus +100% damage from all sources

 

I found a 2H axe with that and thought it was perfect for Iron Bull.  Sadly... it killed him more than it killed others... and quickly lol.

I honestly havn't tried different gear, since it all has much lower stats atm. Once I do I'll see if it helps. Atm there is no real stat difference between my Main character and Cassandra. Even when I tell her to keep up the shield, and she gets a full Guard bar, in about 3-4 hits her entire guard bar + health will be gone and she's dead again. This is without using War Cry even.

[OminousGiggle]

highly depends what skills she has, and what skills you have her set to use or favor.

I have her set to favor shield wall.. and that's it. I was originally using her as a tank, with War cry and Shield wall being favored, but with her suddenly dieing 24/7 instantly within a fight, I turned war cry off and just have her on shield wall 24/7... She still insta dies when getting into a fight.

[Aethena]

Ok, I just found out why.... I updated the main post...

[Allan Schumacher]

That is immensely bizarre but seems to be a thing.

 

What platform are you on?

 

Does this stick around regardless of inventory she is using?

 

 

Thanks.

I'm on the Playstation 3. As for if it sticks around, let me check..

[Aethena]

It doesn't persist when I take off the armor and weapons, but when I put them back on it returns. It could be a glitch with the properties on the armor?

[Aethena]

Ok, figured out what it was... I feel like an idiot.

 

I did infact have the Berserk. I didn't see it on my shield that Cassandra had. It was dropping all of her Defense %'s into the - 300's due to taking 300% more damage from all sources.

 

/facepalm ....

 

I believe the berserk Item in general is a glitch/typo in the script.

 

The rune says "Gives a bonus of 30% damage, while increasing all damage take by 300%"

 

I'm assuming it's supposed to be 30% not 300%.

[Allan Schumacher]

Well, at least you can work around this.

 

 

Just so I'm clear, Berserk is one of the weapon enhancements that can be on an item?

Yes, it's a rune that can be placed on a weapon or shield.
