I was rewarded a similar weapon for a Warrior (one handed Sword) from the War Table operation (the one you do for your specialization trainer). I think it's called 'Brand'. It only looks like a Sword Hilt and the sword is made of Fire. Very weak DPS- but 10% chance to cast Immolate on a hit. And does fire damage. Can't imagine using it- except maybe on a boss who's vulnerable to fire- but it looks pretty cool.

Ok so I'm thinking I'll stick with KE for this sword, thinking about it now I'm curious about all the new tactics to fadestepping into groups, popping the stasis bubble, and going ham for a while on some poor unfortunate souls.

[sunnydxmen]

about time staff like this should have been added later.

[luckyloser_62]

Ok so I'm all but determined to mainline this for my next playthrough, but from what I'm seeing throughout the threat, KE might not be the best idea. Sure it's a good idea, but perhaps something else. So I'm wondering, what sort of mage build would match up really well with this? I'm thinking maybe Rift mage with ice magic.

I was actually thinking of switching to rift mage as well with this sword. The Winter passive that gives 50% damage resistance would massively up survivability, especially if you take a masterwork that gives guard on hit. This may actually be slightly tougher than the baseline KE barrier generation. Guard won't continuously deplete, so unlike barrier you will have it until it is damaged. Also, the damage reduction from that passive will buff guard, as guard factors in damage reduction, while barrier does not. A Keeping enemies chilled should be effortless with the changes to some of the Winter spells. And to top it all off you can shatter frozen enemies with Stonefist.

i haven't tried this yet, but as soon as i learned of this sword i had a idea, tell me what you guys think.

 

for a knight enchanter.

 

make this sword, with frost damage.

 

use frost step, with cold damage upgrade--winters grasp with new upgrade for 1000% damage to chilled or frozen targets.

 

have Spirit blade with amplified blade--fade cloak with either upgrade--stasis lock with new upgrade for improved Spirit blade damage to targets inside it (kinda optional but i like it.)---another optional would be the new blizzard upgrade, where its not a toggle and just has one cost and a duration.

 

now imagine, you dash in, do damage, start auto attacking, targets are chilled so now frost armor is up, your takeing 50% reduced damage while building barrier---also amplified blade makes your charges go up fast---spirit blade nuke while targets are inside your stasis lock---any target you auto is game for 1000% damage winters grasp

 

i see big potential here, but i don't have the items yet to test it INGAME. what do you all think??

This is a pretty good idea, I may have to try it. But I would use Ice Mine with the Chilling Array upgrade instead of Frost Step to combo with Ice Armour and Winter's Grasp. Oh and Mana Surge would be good too. Hmm... this has lots of potential.

 

I am going to respec my KE with this in mind. I'll let you know how it works in game.

Thing is KE can get his barrier generation and also get the guard on hit as well as the winter skill tree.  With the changes to the last winter skill tree the damage resistance passive can stay up indefinitly if..... You're a KE using your spirit blade  the Sword doesn't swing enough to give you the kind of cooldown reduction you want. KE is the tanky mage and a lot of that tank is in addition to whatever else your doing, and thus makes the best melee mage.

 

That said a melee rift mage would be very fun.

 

Additional info:Also my look at the staff cooldown reduction was kind of off. I forgot to factor in the .5 cooldown on hit. So KE spirit blade + Clean burn is the best cooldown reduction possible.  Realized this today when i finally had some more time to put into the game and test out my calcuations. Sorry for any confusion.

That sounds epic! Which spec was your warrior?

sounds like it fits with the promo warrior inquisitor lol

So I tried out that build for the Ice KE and I liked the weapon but not the way the build worked. I actually love the sword but I didn't like that it couldn't shatter frozen people. I will go back to my old KE build and still use the sword.

Good feed back. Yeah Ice KE doesn't bring any damage. No way to buff the spirit blade damage. So all damage comes from storm and winters grasp. Wish storm proc'd any amount of spirit blade charges.

I find that the Winter Tree works really well with the Rift Mage Specialization. I have been experimenting with new builds and I just made a build centered around the Winter Tree and it is so fun to play. I use Stone Fist to weaken and shatter frozen enemies and Pull of the Abyss to cc and weaken. I also use Blizzard and Ice Mine for cc and freezing. I use two warriors and Sera in my party to shatter more enemies and I just love it. If you haven't guessed by now, I love the Shatter combo. Lol.

What's your old KE build?

It's one I found on YouTube. It's called Elementalist God by FiGhTiNCoWBoY

Here it is:

 

Edit: I changed a few things but the build is mostly the same. Here is a link to mine on the skill calculator:

Hope this helps

**** SPOILER WARNING****

 

 

 

I read that one item can now be recovered from the Crestwood Astratrium trove. But that's where the Superb Belt of Fire Resistance was originally. Does this mean the belt has been replaced by the blade or are they both in there with the DLC?

[Andreas Amell]

I don't think even Spirit Blade can offer a shatter effect after using Winter's Grasp. I usually left that effect to the warriors and rogue archers.

Beautiful. Thanks. 

 

I'm currently running a Fire/Lightning KE. Still chilling around Skyhold, so he hasn't seen much combat (other than bears yesterday to test out the Blade of Tidarion).

[MrDynogames]

Yes a bunch of the map items and astrareum rooms have had their items altered. I found an enhanced version of the elemental bond belts which buff that elements damage in exchange for health.

[Bigdawg13]

I discovered don't give this item to Vivienne.  She'll just spam spirit blade instead.  I see more use out of Dorian or Solas.

 

Solas has potential with a few of the new upgrades, like the alternate Veilstrike upgrade.

Champion. I've read some people have had it delivered to the "Special Shipments' box as a result of having Trials on.

[Jakov_XIV]

If I already completed mission "Stop War Between Nevarra and Tevinter" and then installed the Trespasser DLC, will I be able to get the Blade of Tidarion Schematic in any way?

No, not in the way you are asking.

 

But once you finish the game all your characters get access to a 'Golden Nug' statue that let you sync schematics.  Then you can unlock it on a new character and pass it to one that may have missed it.  So if you "really" want it, you may have to roll another character.

 

My advice if you need to do that, set to casual and try to hit skyhold by level 5.  Speed roll through the content.

[Ali111g1994]

Hey, I've done the war table mission to get the schematic but it didn't register as a reward. Is there anywhere else I can find the schematic? (And yes I have the Trespasser Dlc)

Check your inventory and the Special Deliveries chest. There's only one way to complete that mission and the one before it, so if you did both, you should have it. 

 

I have the mission available on my war table in my current PT. I'll give it a try and see what happens. I already have the schem from Golden Nug, though, so it might not be a good test.

 

EDIT: Also, as noted in a post earlier, there is a second way to get the schematic: Crestwood Astrariums

[Ali111g1994]

Thanks! I was under the impression that it was only the blade itself in Crestwood!

[PapaCharlie9]

No, you were right the first time. It's only the blade itself, not the schematic. My mistake.

 

BTW, the mission also failed to reward the schematic to me. All I got was 100 Influence.

[Ali111g1994]

Yeah, I just found the sword. Just wanted to add some cool variations to my team. The idea was that I run in while Solas or someone buffs me with barrier which I would in turn use to get more damage with my fire spells. 

But I'm hoping when I start the Trespasser Dlc it will be made available. Considered maybe replaying after finishing this character to get the sword and create the arcane power house I want. However, I hate replaying the Hinterlands. Too much running around.
