Tempest archer is the undisputed solo king

 

Until it gets fixed...

Flask of Fire pulled me to Tempest. Playing through with that was fun and seemed very powerful, but after reading Tek's post I need to start an artificer character. Yay!

 

Disabling abilities only makes the AI ignore them. You can still send Varric in and manually deploy. I think you have to disable all Varrics traps, and your own, lest the AIs will crazily run under a dragon and drop caltrops. The same goes for many abilities and spells. You can better line up an immolate then a NPC, they have no tactical priority. Though you have to stop the action and tac command 

 

Bianca is the saddest purple in the game, and more-so because of story explaining it as fearsome technology. This was such a good story, that not providing OP upgrades exceeding the insane damage of bows was beyond disappointing, I understand the game is geared for normal play mode without crafting, but if you craft at all then Varric's Bianca story is ridiculous. At least, if you load leveled Tears of the Dead into Bianca it makes a deadly noise

Hey, look at it this way. Varric is a freakin merchant. He doesn't even know how to use a bow. So, the fact that bianca is competitive with a bow in the hands of an unskilled merchant is saying a lot.

The real killer is masterworks. If it had a masterwork slot it'd be on par with bows. Freaking masterworks break the game more then anything anyway. Apart from masterwork it can't DPS quite as high, but it does get a higher crit chance, which is welcome for an artifacer.

I see your point, actually I would never have said that if when we get masterworks Bianca had got one too. I am ignorant of the artificer spec so have never played Varric to his potential. I am using him as my main rogue now tho, so will see about this crit spec in action. Even with your smart RP though, Varric is barely a merchant but an adventuring rogue. Bianca needs to exceed.
