Viv - Support Mage
Verric - Archer DPS
Cas - 1h DPS/Tank hybrid
Black - 1h Tank
I didn't list myself because right now I got 3 seprate playthroughs going trying out each class. I like the archer and having a full human party but not sure which role I want to fill. Also I could swap the archer for a DW or my hybrid for a 2 hander if I chose to be either of those builds.
Seems like a fine party to me. The game is quite forgiving, so it's not like you have to have a certain combination. Just make sure you still have one of each class when you put your inquisitor in so you don't lose out on the lockpicking/mage telekinesis ability.
I personally like Solas for Mage support/cc because of his specialization (w/ Pull of the Abyss, Restorative Veil) and can leave him on auto pilot for the most part. I also like Winter Stillness and Flashpoint to have synergy with Restorative Veil to spam spells. The AI is just bad using Vivienne's Knight Enchanter spec, but speccing her for support can work too.
Varric for Archer DPS is good. Sera is very good too. I always like a rogue archer in my party for ranged DPS and lock picking. Taking both works too depending on your Inquisitor.
Blackwall as the Tank with Champion is un-killable. 'Nuff said.
I like Cassandra as a two hand DPS, especially for closing Rifts. Using the popular Wrath of Heaven/Spell Purge combo wrecks enemy parties.
You seem to value a balanced party, which is good. However, there's really no right or wrong answer. How you utilize your party is more important in my opinion.
Funny you should mention Cas as a 2 hander, I just respeced her last night. I think I have settled on this party.
Me - Mage - Barrier/Fire DPS (unsure which advanced class)
Verric - DPS
Cas - 2 hand DPS
Black - 1 hand tank
What behaviors do you think I should use? What advanced class should I put on my mage? I was thinking KE but I don't want it to be too easy maybe Fire/Support/Rift Mage.
with a full 4 member team and barrier and you're using potions? and crafting masterworks? You can pretty much just roflstomp anything without doing too much thinking or strategizing at all.
-Tank should be set to follow self, everyone else set to follow controlled character.
-Mana reserve 0%
-Set defense skills and CC to prefered
If things get too easy, on your next playthrough:
-Run 3 instead of 4 team members
-Don't use barrier
-Don't craft masterworks/fade touched materials
-Use http://www.nexusmods...tion/mods/307/? to slow down xp
If your Mage is a death dealer, KE will be fine. You can cast barrier on you team mates at the start of the fight and keep barrier up on yourself permanently throughout the fight while crapping all over the toughest of enemies. Fire tree is a perfect compliment to KE with Chaotic Focus, Immolate, and Fire Mine. This may prove to be too easy/boring, although fun factor is totally subjective.
Rift Mage can do the DPS/Support mix just fine. They're more passive, as you won't be bum rushing the enemy, but spell spam is still tons of fun and effective. And Vivienne will always be available for a change of pace.
I found leaving my ranged companions to follow themselves removes their desire to play patty cake with the opposition (for the most part, keep an eye on them).
I'm kind of wondering if I should swap Bull for Cas as my two hander or switch my archer to Cole or Sera. Also maybe have Cas as 1h with Bull 2h.
Also I could swap my Archer for a DW Rouge.
Any suggestions that might help me decide, I am a long way from the advanced classes so anyone with experience advice would be appreciated.
Well its been a few days and I think I have found my favorite team. Just so happens to be the 3 starting members. Oh well this is what I came up with.
Cassandra - 1H - Tank
Solas - Fire/Spirt - Support
Varric - DW - DPS
Me - 2H, Archer or Mage - DPS (currently 2H Champion)
If I played a DW I'd probably switch Varric back to Archer. If I played a 1h tank I'd switch cassandra to a DPS mage or archer. If I played support mage I'd switch Solas to pure DPS/Disable magic.
I did lots of testing and found this team works very well together. Funny I never thought I would pick the 3 starting players but it just so happens thats what I picked.
