The question however is, how does the system define "ally"? Does it mean anyone that isn't your currently controlled character? Or anyone that isn't the Inquisitor? If the former, Varric's criticals wouldn't count. If the latter, they would.

 

I'd really love to know the machnics behind this extreme dps, so if you'd just explain, that'd be great.

That means everyone in your party. If you stack crits on your other members it does benefit Varric because of that passive. So my Inquisitor has like 58% crit chance, and Bull has like 35%, that helps a ton. But if you pay close attention to the video it seems like his Focus ability also triggers the passive so when I did Hail Of Arrows each individual critical strike lowered his cooldown. Also, it doesn't matter if the party member that lands a crit is player controlled, any crit within the party counts towards the passive. Hope that's the answer you're looking for?

Well I guess this means all Rogue specializations are broken.

Well rogue is pure dps class but not really op in hands of AI i mean compared to Vivianne with knight enchanter, rouge life expectancy is usually extremely short when something is targeting them so not really enjoyable when you have to micromanage everything every 5sec ...

 

But anyway on Varric spec tree there is one skills that is actually worth slotting and its focus skill and thats mostly problem that i see on those. Major advantage in this case is that you can't really miss dragon with leaping shoot thx to his big hit box thus the lot of numbers fly around.

My Sera is equally strong especially since i gave her that bow that shoots 3 arrows at once mixed with no CD potion (not counting that bug with no focus spend when using focus skill while under the effect of no cd potion) and she can make some big numbers appear.

Okay... That was moderately awesome.

LOL @ "moderately".

Ayup. It was mostly just important for me to know if your own controlled character's criticals trigger the passive. It also appears that your two clones also count as allies for the passive (though I guess one can't know that for sure unless one looks directly at the specifications in the game files).

 

Was mostly asking because I'd want to know if you'd need an entire party set up for high critical chance to get it to work or if you could do it on your own in a pinch.

Lol! Varric is a beast.

Well, I thought Artificier was a bad spec, I stand corrected.

 

So now we know all 3 Rogue specs have a broken ability  .

Wow....blasphemy.

I'm still not quite understanding why the Leaping Shots had no cooldown time. That's not part of Hail of Arrows, is it?

The Oppostrunity Knocks passive ability reduces cooldowns by half a second for each critical hit from an ally (meaning you, all your companions and possibly the two clones spawned from Hail of Arrows). Leaping Shots fires multiple individual attacks that can individually trigger a critical hit and if you watch the video, you see a lot of critical hits landing.

For those that haven't tried playing with Varric, it should be noted that with proper crit-gearing he can also reach the level of nearly not being either cooldown or stamina limited while spamming Leaping Shot when not using the focus ability, so long as he is under human control, and that Artificer/archer in a crit-built group is probably the rogue specialization that the AI handles best, since it is all about spamming ranged attacks.

I am so going to have to play with this.

 

And to think, before this I only loved him for his charm and good looks.

[slick_ktm]

Stop it, Varric! You Beast you!

Na. The real beast is in this vid.

Power, looks, wit. What's not to love?

 

Hey! Those are some expensive headphones!

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Sera.

Lol! Wow that was pretty cool and funny! Very beastly indeed.

I think we can safely say that the Knight Enchanter is not the most powerful specialization

They never were. Sure you can't die if you play it correctly, but the same thing can be said of the tank class. That doesn't make them OP.

Maybe we should lock dwarven rogues up in towers

 

Do you think we could if we tried?

 

These aren't weak little mages who might go bad. The Dwarven Master Race is all badass, all the time.

Nevermind that any tower strong enough to hold them ... would have to be build by them. And there's an obvious flaw in that strategy ...

Whoa, whoa! Slow down there buddy! At least Mages can DREAM! *Drops mic*

[KarmicSynergy]

Wow. Clearly, I haven't been taking advantage of some possible avenues of destruction. I'm playing on Hard as a 2H Warrior Inquisitor, without using focus abilities much, so it's not really necessary. BUT this is clearly: FUN, time-saving, badass, hilarious, etc.
