Yeah he's a complete chump if you're a strider, just jump onto his face and stab him in the eyeball repeatedly.

The thrill of slaying dragons with a giant gently caress-off hammer in Dragon Age: Inquisition brought me back to this game, and it is still such a blast. Last time, I ended up going Magic Archer, but this time I decided to steer towards Assassin, although I am tempted to go back to Warrior if only because one-shotting a chimera never stops being amazing. If any of you guys are still playing on the 360, feel free to take my Pawn for a spin *cough, cough*. Anyway, I had a couple of questions. Is there an inclination that makes Shield and Greatsword Pawns more likely to use their spring board skills? It's not an issue right now that I'm an Assassin, but if I do go back to Warrior it could help against drakes and stuff. And is it a bad idea to bring two magic based Pawns? I always tend to try to have one Pawn of each general type, but having a Sorcerer raining hellfire while a Mage throws out status healing spells sounds very useful. Finally, what's the best bow-skills for an Assassin? Aside from Blast Arrows, I mean. It felt like I had a much easier time downing large flying enemies as a Strider.

I got about halfway through this game when it was released but now I think I might want to start from the beginning and try to get all the way through. Are there still enough pawns to use on 360 or will that be a problem?

The only inclinations you should ever use are scather / challenger in either order. If you want your pawns to use springboard, switch to a vocation that has it and fling them at dragons for a while, they should eventually get the idea.

Cool sounds like I'm back in. Last time I crapped out because they drop a Cockatrice on you without any warning really(I think it attacks the main hub city) and I had no clue how to deal with it. I was a "jump on things and stab them until they die" character and I couldn't figure out a way to not get petrified by it within 30 seconds. My mage pawn also was getting petrified so he was no help. Are there anti-petrification items I can make sure I stock up on to prevent that this time?

I'm pretty sure you're right. I remember putting Utilitarian on my guys a lot, but when i'd give them Springboard they were always pretty bad about when to use it and would go into position at the most useless times.

Surprisingly, Warrior and Assassin have great synergy and by spending a lot of time in both, the only things you'll be lacking are Mag and MDef, and gently caress those stats anyway, you're going FULL RED!Crowetron posted:Anyway, I had a couple of questions. Is there an inclination that makes Shield and Greatsword Pawns more likely to use their spring board skills? Utilitarians will use these kinds of support skills more often without training, but on the other hand utilitarian is best left to Strider and Mage pawns. titties has the right idea by simply modeling the behavior a few times successfully; your pawn will get it eventually. quote:And is it a bad idea to bring two magic based Pawns? Two properly-raised Sorcs will dual cast, which is a truly magical thing. A triple Bolide will annihilate any group less than a goreclops. A Sorc and a support Mage can buff and support each other, but they'll run into trouble with big bruisin' baddies. quote:Finally, what's the best bow-skills for an Assassin? Lyncean Sight is great. I've had mixed success with Puncture Dart: it's great for mobs and occasional dudes with shields but it is wasted on singular monsters. Fivefold and Mighty Bend are both bread and butter skills. Sadly, by the time you get around to Plegic Arrow, it stops being very useful. quote:If any of you guys are still playing on the 360, feel free to take my Pawn for a spin *cough, cough*. I have a ~160 support Mage with Legion's Might (auto-resurrecting!), if you don't mind high level pawns cutting down your XP growth. Add me and I'll probably take yours out for a spin sometime, too.

Secret Softeners are the single-person unpetrification medicines, and I'm pretty sure Camellia just sort of sells those. Cockatrice Liquors are the ones that cure everyone in the party. Panaceas will also do it, of course, and Sorcerers have High Voidspell if you're high enough level for that.

As I remember it the thing attacks the main city without warning and I couldn't back out of the encounter to do more prep for some reason. Or maybe some other game came out right around the same time and I just never put all that much effort into finding a solution.

I've been on a sword and shield kick lately, and I'm interested in starting a new game with the intention of being a fighter in the end game with decent damage (not full on tank). Does anyone have advice for how to build this character? I was thinking of starting as a mage and then leveling sorcerer to level 20 or 25 to get a sizable amount of magic defense to start. Then I would switch to assassin for 10-20 levels for a physical attack and stamina boost and then finally to fighter for the more balanced attack and defense growth. Am I a complete idiot? If this idea is remotely feasible, what abilities would you recommend for a high level fighter? I backtracked through a lot of the thread and could not find this information. I'm sorry if this has been covered before. Edit: Upon further reflection, I think I'll start as a fighter and then make sure to get those levels of sorcerer. No sense in doubling up on magic classes.

If you mean endgame as in ~lvl 50 Ready To Fight Griggs endgame, then it's absolutely feasible. I have no idea why you want to dump so much into blue classes if you're aiming to be sword and board. You could level Magick Archer or Mystic Knight to focus on MDef while not losing out so much on physical growth, or if you're willing to loot around you could pick up some rings that slow down burning/thundershock/freezing/whatever proc-ing and just focus on those Assassin and Warrior levels without worrying about MDef. If you're looking for straight physical chutzpa augments: Vehemence (Fighter), Ferocity, Proficiency, and Clout (Warrior) are all great. Bloodlust, Autonomy, and Exhiliration can boost Strength under certain circumstances. If you get hit a lot, you'll want Bastion (for Def) and Awareness (MDef).

This fighter trick comes online pretty late but dragonforged duke's/queen's clothing and stone/steel will will both halve all physical damage you take, and they stack. Duke's clothing requires beating the main quest on hard and the best ways to dragonforge are all post game anyways, so it's mainly useful in bitterblack. But if you have both the original game and dark arisen you can start out with the queen 's clothing by having a savefile for orginal game when you start dark arisen and could farm the grove drake to dragon forge it before the end game. If you have about base 500 defense before armor and 5000 Hp you can survive the eliminator grab once at full health and cursed dragon bites barely scratch you. It's hilarious.

I've been having a lot of fun with Dark Arisen the last few days, really enjoying the SotC style monster climbing though I wish magic focused classes had a few spells that encouraged jumping onto big enemies and casting pointblank nukes. Speaking of which, is there any effective (and actually damaging) way a sorcerer can fight a golem? My fighters were able to take out all its lower points, but when I got down to a final upper arm weakspot none of my dudes would go after it and I was eventually forced into unequipping my staff, jumping onto its upper arm, and just baby-tap punching it for around three minutes. Don't get me wrong, seeing my wizened wizard hugging the flailing golem limb as it crushed my other dudes and just slapping it over and over again was pretty hilarious, but I'd love to know if there's any magic or enchantment that would work against it. Pawns are very neat, hired companions being able to give quest and general monster advice is a real nice way of incorporating diegetic hints and tips. While obviously they're useful in battle, I think their ability to smash breakables and pick up loot is my favorite aspect as far as them making the game more enjoyable. I gave all my dudes pickaxes so I pretty much never miss hard to notice mining nodes, and going into a loot filled room and seeing them empty it in seconds is really satisfying. I do notice that they don't seem to pick up dropped loot very effectively, and I'll often miss tiny item drops (like golem pendants, or the little phantasm astracites that love to fall into bogs and be lost forever). Would increasing my main pawn's acquisitor inclination make him snappier with getting those, or is making it a secondary not that much of improvement / actually a bad thing to do as far as combat is concerned? Honestly I wouldn't mind them seeking out items during combat because I pretty much do the same thing, unless it was super obnoxious and utterly handicapped their fighting capability. If they do a sequel I hope they provide a little more granularity to modifying pawn AI, having a simple set of preferred actions and priority lists that could be actively modified by the player would go a huge way in making them feel even more useful. I made a pretty good Haggar from Final Fight and would love the ability to force him to only barechestedly grapple enemies, and while it sometimes works out with him holding down wolves and hugging lizard men it just isn't consistent enough for my liking. Would utilitarian as a primary get him to do that? Haggar's a lvl 37ish scather / mitigator warrior with sinew and suasion if anyone wants to use him (PS3 gamertag Everdraed), against my inner desires I ended up covering his chest with armor and giving him a beefy weapon and he seems to kick butt decently enough.

Funnily enough, equipping the Bloody Knuckle ring from Bitterblack Isle and punching them is the most effective way. Since that requires killing high level enemies, you're probably out of luck unless you switch classes.

So I've decided to pick this game back up, and I want to give Mystic Knight a proper go. I'm torn between two builds; in both of them I wanted a minimum of 500 Attack so I could still dish out a respectable amount of pain, but the main difference is what happens after L100, either 100 levels in Sorcerer or 100 levels in MK. I'm leaning towards the MK one, simply because MK is the end goal for the build, and gently caress dicking around in a class I don't want to play for 100 levels, but am I going to miss that ~800 Stam and ~130 Magick?code:

You'll miss the extra Stamina when you're running around throwing down GC's and Sigils and keeping the party enchanted AND trying to get between enemies and your casters, riposting attackers the whole time. I'm spoiled by playing stamina-lite classes like MA and Ranger, because whenever I give MK a go, and I'm right around 3000 too, I'm ALWAYS running out mid-fight. That's my two cents, anyway. The ~130 Mag won't make or break your build.
