And people never thought to use revive on corpses and look where we are now :D
...I wonder what other spell mechanics have yet to be found.

Have a Templar cast Blessed Blades on the Hinterlands Crossroads market stall and that, plus 20 gold, will get you one elfroot. ;)

Considering how glitched blessed blades is that wouldn't surprise me.
If you do that and cast horror while in simulacrum and immediately cast spirit mark on a fennic you'll get 20 royal elfroot and crystal grace seeds.

Edit: Make SURE horror doesn't hit the fennic or you'll pop immediately to In Your Heart Shall Burn and lose all your saves.

My characters die fighting the Fereldan Frostback not because of the dragon (well, yes, because of the dragon, but indirectly), but because she gets dragonlings and Red Templars to join the party. We'll be chilling out under the ledge trying to avoid the huge gouts of flame when we'll get gacked by a dragonling/Red Templar I never saw coming. Yeah, I know there are red dots on the minimap, but somebody - usually Bull or Blackwall - will get all crazy and go tearing off across open ground and get blasted with fire, so I get distracted.

One time, a group of templars spawned up in her nest, and when she finally retreated to it, they actually killed her (I didn't even know they were up there until she died—I was busy killing stupid dragonlings).

Such a disappointment. I like that dragon fight the least because her scripting is so glitchy. One time, she got stuck in her nest running in place (I've seen the Storm Coast dragon do this too, but she gets sorted by the time you attack her); she kept up the treadmill even as we killed her. The rest of the time, either her or the dragonlings (or all of them) will bug out at various stages (either she'll refuse to retreat to a perch, fail to even summon the dragonlings, or stay up on a perch far longer than she's supposed to, and then the dragonlings can decide to just break at the edge of the perch and hang out trying to screw with the party's targeting).

The easiest dragon for me was the Western Approach. A total pushover if you just have a little bit of fire resistance to bring along. The Crestwood dragon was a bit more difficult only because of the static ring attack (especially in the instance where she's smart about it and does a buffet right after).

Ah wonderful I thought I was alone in thinking that the FF was actually annoying as...bad words D:

 

I'm playing on hard for the achievement so that's not quite an option.

Would you guys consider crestwood/ ABH do be easier or harder than grabbing breeding grounds and glitching the highland ravager. I mean it would take 9 million years to fight the highland ravager at level 14 but since I'll rarely take damage it should just be a battle of patience.

 

I semi-soloed the Highland Ravager on nightmare by accident once.  I was a KE and went in underleveled thinking I was a badass because up until that point I was a badass.  I was not.  LOL!  My team of Cass, Dorian and Sera just kept dying (this is my usual dragon killing team - with Dorian I usually have a couple of different staffs and swap out to a cold or electricity staff for him since I spec him into fire).  So finally I stopped reviving them - the dragon was only about 1/3 killed at the time.  It took a long time to kill her.  She kept calling babies and I had to do everything all by my lonesome.  I don't recommend!

Easiest was the Frost Dragons for me. I had no trouble with any of them. The very last fire dragon in the Emprise du Lion was the most difficult. Lightning ones are pretty easy with Dispels. And Fereldan Frostback....it is a really difficult battle, took me most tries across all my 4 playthroughs.

Actually I meant attacking from the top so you don't get hit and so it doesn't reset.
1 million energy barrages later and the dragon is probably gonna be at 80% hp! :D

Wait...what happens when you use revive on corpses?

Potato discovered that Revival does something like 2500% damage on Corpses and Arcane Horrors. Probably Revenants too.

And since it is AoE, it's probably one of the highest damage spells in the game, if a bit highly specialized.

It does like 25x weapon damage on corpses, arcane horrors and maybe revanants. Considering all of those have spirit vulnerabilities that leads to somewhere around 30x weapon damage once you take that into consideration.
It being an AOE means it can possibly one shot more than 1 corpses or at least deal a...very large number of damages.
Edit: Oh someone got to that already. Whoops :D

I found Hinterlands Dragon to be the hardest among the low level ones.

Crestwood and Western Approach are much, much easier, because Fereldan Frostback is a scripted fight, and she will murder your entire party horribly, especially if you let AI control them. 

 

If you cannot solo Hinterlands Dragon, you're gonna have a bad time with micromanaging your entire team to avoid fireballs and pools of fire. 

 

Fortunately, on my current playthrough I found out, that Dragons (or all other enemies for that matter) respond really, really badly to Mark of Death - Stealth - Hidden Blades combo. 

After that, you just Flank attack, and wait in stealth until cooldowns wear of, and do this dance all over again.

Who needs a party?

Probably the Ferelden Frostback, I also agree with the Crestwood and Western Approach dragons. I don't why but I always found the Storm Coast dragon to be the hardest for me, all of the lightning and armor just gets annoying.
