I am doing a nightmare play through (finished the game twice on normal, but only the vanilla game); I finished the main campaign a few days ago, moments before I started Jaws of Hakkon on nightmare in my first attempt.

Finished it as well, though I got in trouble there sometimes; the DLC is considerably harder than the game.

Now I just begun the descent, still on nightmare (so no spoilers ), before I try trespasser. So, considering my current game status, the question won't help me much, but in future I might try again, and the question have been bugging me.

It's this: if I have a passive that affects beyond the character, and I have the same specialization in a companion, and Putin the same passive, does the effects stack up?

I mean, there is a passive in rift Mage that gives a damage reduction of 30 percent damage on the attacks of weakened enemies. If I have Solas and the inquisitor together, does this mean a 60% decrease in their power?

I assume not, but would love to know for a fact.

Rift mage passives do not stack in that way, because the target can only have the "weakened" debuff once and it does not stack. If your rift mage weakens an enemy, and then Solas weakens the same enemy, the weakened effect will be replaced and reset, refreshing it's timer but not increasing the effect of passives beyond what is normally capable.

 

Also, if your rift mage has the 30% damage reduction passive and Solas does not, your stronger weakened debuff will be replaced by solas' weaker debuff if he weakens an enemy after you already have, and vice versa.

Hmmm, I was thinking more in the line of the passives accumulating than in applying the active action twice. My issue was figuring out whether or not getting the passive for both would be redundant, but for what you say, it isn't, it would guarantee an homogeneous strength of the spell for both mages.

Makes more sense than what I was thinking, actually. Thanks.

Hmmm, in the same vein...

Take the rejuvenating passive on the Mage spirit tree.

The description says that whenever the Mage or a companion has an active barrier, it will have a bonus of mana/stamina recovery.

I have that skill on my inquisitor, and as so, I did not get it for any other of my mages, because it sounded redundant, as the inquisitor is always in the party, obviously... Even though the barrier skill is a must for all mages.

I am guessing, though, that this choice is wrong, because the bonus only applies to the barriers that were created by the inquisitor, not by any barrier, as the description implies. Am I right?

I guess than that no passive is party-wide except when specifically said so in the description.

I might re-spec Dorian just for that...

The barrier passives are supposed to only work on the barriers cast by those who have them... However I have had the winter passive (freezing wave and free cast) go off when none of the Mages had it... Not even a point in the winter tree.
