I've googled so sorry if this is somewhere else I didn't see it.
I've come back to play Jaws of Hakkon, hard difficulty. I'm lvl 25, companions 24, our equipment is level 23. We are getting smashed by Hakkon Avvar. 2 Arrows and dead.
How can I craft level 25 equipment, if I craft now its only 23, I have $27k so it's not enough to purchase tier 4 schematics for everyone
I didn't struggle too badly completing the campaign a couple of months ago.
Am I supposed to grind around for schematics in other areas, as I've seen some posts dedicated to this?
Honestly just do the side quest, using the new weapons you pick and putting a decent rune on them (I suggest Corrupting, Fire or Lighting), matters more
Most of your Teir 3 endgame armor should work well enough before tackling the Hakkonite base.
My solution for them Pull of the Abyss or Static Cage(Preferred).Keep them locked in together, send in your warriors(preferably Cassandra with Templar combo or good 2 hander) and set off as many cross-class combos to deal huge damage while they're unable to move
Perrferred Mages- Solas or Dorion, giving either one Static Cage is fine but Solas with PotA and Stone Fist do good damage but Dorion with Walking Bomb and Spirit Mark can wipe Hakkonite EASILY
Just whats been working for me anyway, also DD Cole is good as well if built properly but make sure your keeping a steady barrier on him or under your control to get the most put of his Assassin tree
