Hi there,

 

I'm Jason and I started playing Dragon Age: Inquisition on the 4th of january. I know im a 13 months late. I havent had the time to play it earlier It has been a busy year. I'm recovering from surgery atm so now I have had all the time of the world to play DA:I with my full attention.

 

I had decided to play my first walkthrough on Nightmare, just because i have had alot of previous experience with DA:O and DA:2. And i can say that as of 16.53 today, im the proud owner of a Platinum trophy on my PS4  . It took me 86 hours but i've absolutely enjoyed the difficulty. I found it completly doable.

 

I did this with the following team:

 

Inquisitor: One-hand and shield templar tank, focusing getting down guards of enemies ,owning demons and dispelling

Vivienne:  Knight Enchanter, focusing on high damge combined with revival.

Solas:       Rift mage, fully spirit specced took pull of the abys and blizzard to do some steady  AoE damage

Sera:        Tempest rogue, she has saved my team multiple times by avoiding damage and doing alot of damage with her flasks

 

Why i had this team?

It seemed Knight enchanter Vivienne was only melee dps capable of standing for more than 10 seconds in a fight. Combined with solas his pull of the abyss i would take down trash in seconds on nightmare without breaking a sweat. even when they died Solas or Viv would res him/her up in a sec.    

 

So now my problems come up.

I've just finished the game.. and as it appears my choices have led Viv to be the new divine  and solas just left me. WHY solas WHY! I realy want to keep on playing the DLC on Nightmare mode but what team should i take? I'm starting tommorowish. Or do you suggest I should play on normal now?

 

This is what i had in mind.

Inquisitor: One-hand and shield templar tank

Iron Bull:   Two-handed AoE damage dealer, also ive spend alot ofpoints in Vanguard till Livid this way he keeps his gaurd high and his health low so his damge is maxed out

Sera:          For the high single damge and mobility

Dorian:      Fully spirit specced, with the right side of the necrmancy spec for walking bomb to deal a bit of damge also took blizzard for the AoE freeze

 

What do you suggest?

I've still got everyone except for Viv and Solas ( Does Viv come back to me ? )

 

Sorry for the long post but im really full of the game.I've absolutely loved DA:I so far. Not as much as DA:O but still. Tbh I hated DA2 i just finished it and its dlc and threw it out.

Even with Viv being Divine, you will have her in Treaspasser but, Bull is no good for decent and, he might turn on you in treaspasser, if you made certain choices.

 

JoH would be fine with almost any team, it's a lev 20 and not to rough.

 

Decent isn't too bad except one place that you have to do right to stop the spawn, otherwise it's infinite spawn, until you do what you're supposed to do so, you need a team that can hold it's own w/o Quizzy for a couple of minutes.

Viv can come back to you you just have to ask her to stay for extra Inquisition work or whatever if you haven't done the DLC's and some other tasks. As for Solas unfortunately once the credits have rolled he's well and truly gone and you'll find out why when you play the Trespasser DLC. The only way you can have Solas do the DLC's is by doing JoH and Descenrt before completing the main story. Just a question did you save Bull's Charger's during his companion mission? Because if you didn't you may want to rethink that strategy.

[Jason1990]

I did save his chargers. I had a drink with them earlier today.. but where can i find vivienne ?

I did save his chargers. I had a drink with them earlier today.. but where can i find vivienne ? And what team would you suggest? I think cole will die even faster than iron bull. And varric's bianca just doesnt do enough damage.

In skyhold she's on the landing above the throne room. As that's her spot when she's not out in the field with you There's a staircase that will take you up to her through one of the doors in the throne room. Plus that's good because as DarkAmarnth said Bull will betray you in Trespasser if you didn't

Branch out, go Rift Mage yourself, replacing Solas.

Lots of fun. Then just pick a warrior, rogue and mage of your choice to accompany.

Unless of course you have to keep playing a Templar.

Sera is my go to rogue but i'm taking Varric with me when i play The Descent for the obvious dwarf connection. That and he has a superb cleansing rune equipped and figured that'd be perfect to take out darkspawn.

I did this as well, but any Archer run by the AI could be in big trouble in Descent, unless you disable Leaping Shot.

 

Stick with Viv and have Dorian take Solas's place. You can certainly stick with Sera, but Varric is a good choice too, as long as you've upgraded Bianca as much as possible.

 

IQ - Templar, Viv - KE, Dorian - Necro, Sera - Tempest Archer.

 

RECOMMENDED: Do Jaws of Hakkon before Descent. You can certainly do Descent first, but the Aegis ability from JoH is really, really useful in Descent. I'm just sayin'.

to play Rift mage you do have to play through the whole game again you can't switch specs mid game Abilities available to your class yes but not specializations which means he's locked into being a Templar now so has to find a way to get through it. Just as I will when I get there as I'm playing my first warrior in the game atm. I'm also planning on making my quizzie a templar but haven't got that far yet as I'm still in Haven in my current run although I'm almost finished there. Don't know if he wants to do that or not but seeing as he's near the end and only has the DLC's to do I'd just say go for it. Maybe try a different approach on his next playthrough as a rift mage or whatever if it interests him as a new challenge. It is after all one of the reasons why I play the game multiple times to take on the various challenges different ways.

The Aegis ability I find pretty useful everywhere to be fair. But yeah I agree with you. It's best to use ranged attacks on the final boss in Descent  too as it absolutely murders anyone who attempts to get up close and personal with it. Although Blackwall was able to do a significant amount of damage in my last playthrough before he was taken out which allowed the rest of my team to finish it off quite easily for once had myself and Viv as mages and Varric

Does he have a tendency to fall off cliffs if using leaping shot?  I tend to have Varric use Leaping Shot, Evade, Elemental Mines and Fallback Plan.

Wow.. so viv is my new divine bit shes still in my throne room? I hadn't seen her yet.. now i feel stupid.. hehe

Im not doing a second playthrough just yet. Although i realy miss a rift mage..
For some reason i cant give away my job as a tank.. i always feel the AI isnt that great of a tank without me using the tac cam the whole time..

Thanks for the tips on sera, taking off leaping shot in descent. she would prolly start falling of cliffs multiple times.. and me thinking its somekind of strong archer before i would notice, hahaha

Im going to start JoH as we speak. I will keep you posted on how im doing. Maybe ille make some videos to show how i did, if you are interested?

Ok so i just started in Frosback basin with the following team:

Inquisitor: templar tank, one hand and shield
Bull: reaver tank, one hand and shield
Vivienne: knight enhanter with barriers and revival
Sera: tempest archer

So far its been going great, only hard things i have encountered so far are the bruisers and the rift with 4 pride demons. But i have managed.. reaver tank is realy something else.. he hits for about 1300 per hit and his guard is always high because of livid and war cry.. now to think of it.. i kinda regret that i took templar, hehe...

Some will consider it cheesy- but you can Combat roll through those Hakkonite Bruisers- select the 'Coming Through' upgrade to damage them on the roll. It's the only ability I've seen that a Warrior can use on them once they start their whirlwind.

 

Currently running a 2H Templar and my party is Me, Cass (also a 2H Templar), Viv, and Archer Cole. I did not recruit Sera, Bull, or Blackwall on this playthrough. Cass and I are both using a crafted Prismatic GreatAxe. It is the most killingest group I have ever had.

Yes. And if you change control to him while he's falling, it's really easy to get the whole party stuck in an infinite falling loop, fall/die/fall/die/fall/die, forcing you to reload to an earlier save.

 

More common though is that your Archer sucks down all your healing potions. I would be in the middle of a big mob battle and the next thing I knew, I was down to minimum potions and Varric had one bar of health ...
