Dragon age origins rune mods. Dragon Age: Inquisition - Runes. Skills and abilities

It often happens that you are not satisfied with the stats of even the best weapons that you managed to find in the game. In this case, all you have to do is strengthen it with runes.
In Inception, runes often drop from mobs, and merchants constantly offer them among other goods. In the main part of the game, only “weapon” runes are available - that is, they can only be inserted into weapons that have special slots for this (no more than three).

The installation of runes in the "Beginning" is done by the dwarf Sandal (you will meet him and his named father in Lothering, and then he will be available in your camp and at the end of the game - in Fort Drakkon). You will also encounter it in the “Witch Hunt” DLC, and in the “Golems of Amgarrak” DLC, a special rune anvil will handle the installation.
In the Beginning there are five types of runes: the runes of the novice, the journeyman, the skilled, the master and the great master. They are occasionally needed in quests (for example, you can donate runes to an army of magicians).
In “Awakening”, the installation of runes will be done by the elf Sera, ambassador of the Circle of Mages. She will stand in the throne room of the Vigil Tower, an analogue of the camp in the addon.


There are three fundamental differences between “runework” in “Awakening”:
- from now on you have access to not only weapon runes, but also armor runes (the number of slots is also no more than three);
- two new levels of types of runes already known to you have appeared: masterpiece runes and Perfect runes, as well as 7 types of combined runes;
- they are rarely sold and dropped from mobs, but you can make them yourself.
This will be discussed below.
The mechanism for making runes itself is no different from making traps, medicines, or poisons available in the Beginning.
To make a rune, you must have:
- appropriate level of rune making skill,
- a copy of the rune of the desired and lower levels,
- empty rune stone,
- weaker runes and
- etching reagent in certain proportions,
- money for all of the above, except for the level (and quite a lot).
So, let's start in order.

MAKING RUNES

It is available for any character of any class, starting from level 20. Then every 2 levels you can increase this skill:

RUNE MAKING IN PRACTICE

IMPORTANT!!! If I did not indicate to enter something or enter something somewhere, then we leave it unchanged!!! And also my DAO version starts at 1.04. Will not work if there is no mod: "Allows you to insert runes into everything."

Open "Dragon age toolset" (my version is "v1.0.1008.0") and click: "File -> Manage Modules -> New".
In the window that opens, enter this value “XNOIR2” in the “Name” field.

The next field "UID" enter this "XNOIR2_modul". Next, in the “Extended Module” field, select “Single Player” and click “OK”. After clicking "OK" you should have the "Manage Modules" window open, in it select "XNOIR2" then click on "Open". Now click on " File -> Manage Modules -> XNOIR2 -> Hierarchy", in the "Module Hierarchy" window, put a tick in front of the inscription "Single Player" then click "OK"
. Then close "Manage Modules".

Now click "File -> New -> Item", the "Create New Resource" window will open, enter "xnoir2bron" in the "Resource Name" field, select "Core Game Resources" in the "Module" field and click "OK". You should see a window called "xnoir2bron.uti". In the window that opens, in the "Base Item Type" field, select "Rune - Armor", then in the "Icon" field, select "ico_army_golems", then in the "Inventory Subgroup" field, enter "501000", then in the "Name" field, enter "xnoir2bron" , then in the “Item Properties” field, click on the ellipsis, after which a window called “Item Properties” will open. In this window that opens, use the mouse wheel to look for "Increase Armor", left-click on this line, then click on "Add->", our line "Increase Armor" should have moved to the right, after which where it now stands "0" and above it the inscription "Power", change "0" to "5", then click "OK", then click on the floppy disk (that is, saving, located at the top left of the window, right above the inscription "xnoir2bron.uti" , when you point at the floppy disk, “Save” will be displayed).

Now right-click on the inscription under the floppy disk "xnoir2bron.uti", a list will appear in which we look for "Check In", click on it, a window called "Confirm Checkin" will appear, in this window we put a tick in front of the inscription "" and click " OK ". Now right-click on the inscription under the floppy disk "xnoir2bron.uti", a list will appear in which we look for "Export", when we hover over it, another list will appear in which we look for "" and click on this inscription, wait for the end of the operation performed by the PC (for me takes approximately 3-4 seconds). Now it’s almost the same thing, right-click on the inscription “xnoir2bron.uti”, a list will appear in which we look for “Export”, when we hover over it, another list will appear in which we look for “Generate Module XML”, click on it, then right-click click on " xnoir2bron.uti -> Export -> Generate Manifest XML".

On the right we see 18 icons, we find among them: “Scripts”, right-click “New -> Scripts”. In the field called "Resource Name" enter "XNOIR2skript" (can be any word, but if you don't understand, write it so it works), and click "OK". In the field that appears, insert these characters, which are listed below:

The beginning of the script, do not copy this line, copy from the next line.
#include "utility_h"

void main()
{
event ev = GetCurrentEvent();
int nEventType = GetEventType(ev);

// We will watch for every event type and if the one we need
// appears we will handle it as a special case. We will ignore the rest
//of the events
switch(nEventType)
{
// This event happens every time the module loads

case EVENT_TYPE_MODULE_LOAD:
{
// The UT_AddItemToInventory function adds various resources to a
// creature's inventory. Here we add one weapon and one shield.
UT_AddItemToInventory(R"xnoir2bron.uti", 1);

// We have dealt with the event we were waiting for.
// At this point we can stop looking for other events
break;
}
default:
break;
}
}
End of the script, do not copy this line, copy the previous one.

Having copied these symbols, do the following, click on the floppy disk, as you did earlier, wait for the end of saving (for me took about 9-14 seconds), now we perform the same operations as before, namely: right-click on the inscription under the floppy disk “xnoir2bron.uti”, a list will appear in which we look for “Check In”, click on it, a window called “Confirm Checkin” will appear , in this window put a tick in front of the inscription " I do not wish to enter a comment" and click "OK". I hope you remember this you did earlier, so in short:
"Export -> Export without dependent resources", now "Export -> Generate Module XML",
Further " Export -> Generate Manifest XML". Now " File -> Manage Modules -> XNOIR2 -> Properties", a window will open called "Object Inspector" in this window we look for "Script", having found it click on the ellipsis and look for “xnoir2skript”, select it and click on “OK”. Close the remaining windows and launch the game.

In general, what was described above helped, I wrote and did it at the same time, so I am confident in what was written, and there are also pictures; if something doesn’t work, then there can be many options, basically most are listed on the Internet in the DAO forums. Don’t forget, if Windows is installed for at least 8 months, then problems are possible due to it (from personal experience). GOOD LUCK!!!

Making runes in the Awakening addon

There are three fundamental differences between “runework” in “Awakening”:

From now on, you have access to not only weapon runes, but also armor runes (the number of slots is also no more than three, depending on the quality of the item);

Two new levels of rune types already known to you have appeared: masterpiece runes and Perfect runes, as well as 8 types of combined runes;

They are rarely sold and dropped from mobs, but you can make them yourself.

This will be discussed below.

The mechanism for making runes itself is no different from making traps, medicines, or poisons available in the Beginning.

To make a rune, you must have:

Appropriate runecrafting skill level,

A copy of the rune of the desired and lower levels,

Empty rune stone

Weaker runes and

Etching reagent in certain proportions,

Money for all of the above, except the level (and quite a lot).

So, let's start in order.

MAKING RUNES

It is available for any character of any class, starting from level 20. Then every 2 levels you can increase this skill:

If necessary, it will be possible to redistribute skills using the Focus textbook (sold by Herren at the Vigil Tower).

TYPES OF RUNES

The stat power of each rune increases in proportion to the level. For example, the Novice Fire Rune gives +1 fire damage, and the Advanced Fire Rune gives +7 fire damage. The beginner's Immunity rune gives +3 to resistance to fire, cold and electricity, and the Perfect's Immunity rune gives +25.

Hybrid runes (created from a combination of armor and weapons) are quite unexpected, but invariably very useful and of high quality.

COPIES OF RUNES

Copies of runes can be found in chests or caches, but most can be bought from merchants. The table below shows where I found certain copies.

Making runes in the Awakening addon

Making runes in the Awakening addon

In total, there are 86 copies of runes in the game, of which 3 are given initially and 22 you can discover as you progress through the game. There are also several bugs, which are discussed below.

Uriah Merchandise Update

The addition of some copies of runes and other goods is subject to certain conditions. That is, if you have not completed a certain quest, then this product update will not occur.

1. If you managed to save the Frightened Merchant during the attack on the Vigil Tower (the beginning of the game, to the left of the Main Gate), and then talk to Uriah, he will say that “the merchant you saved is happy that he survived and replenished my goods. I will sell them to you at a discount." This will result in immediate product updates.

2. Complete the quest “The Trade Must Continue.”

3. Complete all quests of the Amaranthine Merchants Guild.

INGREDIENTS

All ingredients are purchased in endless quantities from Sera in the Tower of Vigil.

Making runes in the Awakening addon

The actual production of runes looks like this:

You buy Novice runes, empty stones and etching reagents, and craft it into an Apprentice rune. From the Journeyman runes you make the Craftsman rune, etc.

The general scheme looks like this:

Novice rune > Apprentice rune > Craftsman rune > Master rune > Grand Master rune > Masterpiece rune > Perfect rune.

That is, without a weak rune, you will not make a strong one - unlike other created items.

The following is the cost of ingredients for the production of runes of higher orders:

COST OF MANUFACTURING RUNES

The overwhelming majority of the cost of runes is the purchase price of Novice runes (first comes the cost of selling it to a merchant, then the purchase):

Making runes in the Awakening addon

The following two tables summarize the monetary costs for making the highest level runes.

Making runes in the Awakening addon

As you can see, they end up costing quite a lot, so it makes sense to carefully collect all the runes that you come across in the game and use them.

Making runes in the Awakening addon

For most of the Perfect runes, merchants will eventually offer you much less money than you spent on their production, that is, their production is unprofitable.

However, the Zeal rune can be sold for 4 gold and 25 silver coins (costs 2g49s70m), and the Formidable Rune for 3z2s50m (costs 1z74s35m). That is, the profit in the first case will be 70%, and in the second - 74%, moreover, it will take you less time to make the Formidable Rune.

Making runes in the Awakening addon

You can spend just an hour and as a result get more than 1000z in profit, which will more than pay for the production of the best runes for all party members. However, if you sell Sera more than 999 runes of the same type, a glitch will occur and her trade screen will no longer open. Alternatively, you can sell runes to Uraya or Herren.

RUNE MAKING IN PRACTICE

A) If the rune master is your main character: having purchased the required amount of ingredients from Sera, you make a rune of the required type and level on the spot, then again turn to Sera so that she inserts the runes into weapons and armor.

B) If the rune master is a party member: to make runes, you will have to take a party member into the party and go to the courtyard, since in the throne room of the Vigil Tower the crafting skill is not available to anyone except you, and then return to Sera for installation. You may have to run many times, and in order not to waste time on constant transitions, you can buy a Focus textbook in Herren’s yard and quickly retrain your hero. Then you can craft runes and distribute them among the equipment of your party members without leaving Sera’s cash register - according to the first option.

Making runes in the Awakening addon

If you want to make a lot of runes, then you should be patient, and keep in mind that each beginner rune (like any other) takes up one place in your inventory. That is, if you bought two beginner fire runes, then they will take up 2 places in your backpack, not one. But bottles of etching reagent or empty rune stones will take up one place each, even if there are 99 of them (this is the maximum capacity of the cell). To free up space in your backpack, dump all the items in it into the chest in the Throne Room.

Making runes in the Awakening addon

Note: You can get the Grand Master's Fire Rune for Wade's quest "To the Bone" only by creating it yourself, or transferring it from the main part of the game.

Known bugs

* Iron and Silverite (damage to a specific type of creature), Dweomer and Vigor (passive resistance) runes of the Masterpiece and Perfect levels are mistakenly labeled as armor runes, although in fact they are weapon runes. At the same time, Iron and Silverite runes do not work at all, and Dweomers and Vigor, as expected, give a bonus to resistance. In Patch 1.04 for PC, the non-working runes have been fixed, but Iron, Vigor and Dweomer runes are still marked as armor runes.

* Barrier runes and their Copies in patch 1.04 and higher are not available for sale from Sera and are almost completely in the game. To fix this bug, use Fix. You can also use console codes (you can read about how to connect the console). Then open the console and type the following into it:

To obtain a copy (recipe) of the Barrier rune:

runscript additem gxa_im_cft_run_X12.uti 1

where X is a value from 1 to 6, depending on the recipe for which rune you want to get (1 - journeyman, 6 - Perfect).

To get the Barrier rune:

runscript additem gxa_im_upg_run_arХ_arm.uti Y

where X is a value from 1 to 7, depending on what rune you want to get (1 - beginner, 7 - Perfect), and Y is the number of runes.

Always yours ^_^

It was done almost independently, with occasional peeks.

Dragon Age: Origins is a party game, despite the fact that you have to play alone. In general, I can’t stand fights like this, but here they are executed somehow more or less clearly and are not so annoying. Moreover, on higher difficulty the battles become quite interesting.

As it should be in most similar games, our group should have 4 comrades, and the most effective composition will be: Tank, Healer, Damager and Controller. Who are they?

Tank- a character who distracts enemies towards himself and blocks most of this damage into the shield.

Doctor- the main goal of the healer is to stand behind and heal, ideally the tank, but basically everyone, so as not to die, sometimes adding slightly damage to the target.

Damager— stands behind if you are an archer or a magician, but unlike a healer, he constantly hits enemies. Well, or next to the tank he chops with a two-handed sword. The main thing here is maximum damage in the shortest possible time.

Controller- paralyzes, stuns or blinds and does minor mischief, temporarily disabling enemies and preventing them from attacking.

Doctor

The best candidate here is either Wynn or the main character. In Dragon Age: Origins there will be missions where the hero will have to run alone, and the easiest way to do this is with a magician who can heal. The only problem is that we won’t meet Winn right away. Healing magic is a situational thing, and although it doesn’t consume mana very much, in the end you will have to use it often, so you will need a lot of Willpower.

Spells

Creation branch. Here we take Heroic aura and defense.

Heroic Aura- protects against long-range attacks, can be used on a tank if there are a large number of archers, often simply irreplaceable.

Heroic Defense- protection from melee attacks. Also needed in many places.

Treatment branch. Where would we be without her, she is the one who makes a doctor out of us

We absolutely need the entire thread.

Branch of runes. It imposes even more effects on the group, which will not be unnecessary.

Rune of Paralysis- if you have enough mana, you can use it.

Protective Rune— gives bonuses to mental stability, defense and repelling ranged attacks. A little bit at a time, but all at once.

Rune of repulsion- can be useful to prevent enemies from reaching. It can be useful.

Rune of Neutralization— put under other magicians, sometimes can be used as dispelling. It can’t always be used, but it’s better to take it.

Spirit branch. Here we will need to take dispel and anti-magic barrier.

The 1st spell is useless, but diffusion is a very important spell.
Anti-magic barrier— places a shield on the target that completely blocks all non-physical damage. Also blocks the casting of targeted spells.

Specializations: Spiritual healer.

The only spell that is not very necessary is the last one, because usually not everyone needs to be healed, but only the tank, there is Group Healing for everyone, it usually copes with the task.

Controller

The best choice would be Morrigan and, again, ourselves. What does this same controller actually do? In our case, the magician simply prevents the enemy from moving, attacking, or casting bad spells. In addition, no one prevents the controller from applying debuffs (damages that reduce attack, defense, movement speed). And again we put everything into the Power of Magic, and a little bit into Willpower.

Spells

Fire elemental branch. We take it for Fireball.

Fireball. What normal magician can do without a fireball these days? In addition to damage, the fireball even knocks down some Bosses. Add a small cost and cooldown and you get the perfect spell.

Earth elemental branch

We take our fist, nothing else is needed.

Elemental branch of ice. The first 3 spells will come in handy.

Icy grip - very useful and irreplaceable.

Ice weapon- telekinetic is better, but this opens up access to the Cone of Ice.

Cone of Ice- like Fireball, this is one of the main spells of a magician. He rarely gains stability, works stably for Bosses, even dragons. Having caught many enemies that you don’t care about now, you can keep them in place for as long as you have mana. The only negative is the attack radius, the archers will simply shoot us.

Spirit Branch - Mana Drain.

Mana Burn— in theory it burns out all the mana, but in practice the enemies manage to be healed. But they can’t hit so hard anymore.

Magic power- quite a useful thing.

Mana Clash- great damage to magicians, because equal to all mana burned. Some bosses, however, are resistant to this.

Spirit Branch - Necromancy

Walking bomb - requires skillful use, but the power is significant and makes clearing groups of enemies much easier.

funnel of death— after switching on, a funnel appears around the character. Once per second, decomposes one corpse, giving mana in the radius of the crater. Controversial aura.

Infectious walking bomb- the same bomb, only easier to use. It’s better to throw at a target that is near death.

Summon Skeleton- an extra, even a dead character is always useful.

Spirit Branch - Mind

Mind Explosion- a useful spell, sometimes it saves you from death.

Force field- definitely needed. Completely disables the target from the battle, although making it completely invulnerable.

Telekenetic weapons- Better weapon enchantment. There should be one per batch.

Entropy Branch - Paralysis

Weakness- a standard debuff, like Loss of Orientation.

Paralysis- very necessary for safety net.

Toxic fumes- doubtful, but sometimes necessary

Mass paralysis— mass control, which allows you to kick targets.

Entropy Branch - Curse

Damaging vulnerability throwing at a strong target combined with Siphon Life is a very powerful combination.

Contagious corruption you need to throw it at a white target (so that it doesn’t resist) and one that you won’t touch for a long time.

Diverting damage- essentially a debuff, only strong. When successfully applied to a target, its critical hits become normal hits, and normal hits become misses. If he gets through to the boss, then the boss (applies only to melee units) remains helpless.

Fatal damage - makes all hits on the target critical, which is good for bosses - needed by all damage dealers.

Entropy Branch - Dream

Loss of orientation- a good debuff to use on a strong target. Taken for more important spells

Horror- excellent control. Shuts you out of combat for a long time (the stronger the target, the less time). Definitely take it.

Dream- the main spell of the controller, because it has almost no stability, except for orange ones, but it works well on them too. Allows you to perform the same sequence - the one you woke up, the one you kicked. Has a huge AoE. And most importantly - Sleep + Horror - there are several spell combinations in the game, but most are dull (for example, smash frozen), and this has a really huge practical purpose.

A waking nightmare- despite the fact that it appears after sleep, it is a stripped-down version of it in everything - not reliable, less AoE, more rollback. Better take it.

Entropy Branch - Life Siphon

Life Drain useful when the main character plays the role of controller.

Specializations - There is no ideal controller specialization in the game, but Blood Magic is a good option.

Tank

Whatever one may say, there is simply no way to do without a normal tank - the group will simply be carried out. The best candidate is Alistair/Lohain and The Wall. You can make a main character if you really want to, in principle...

The main characteristic of a tank is, of course, Constitution, but strength is also required for armor and skills, and agility for the shield. We dress for protection and HP. However, that’s not all - the main task is not just to withstand blows, but also to distract enemies from your allies, and for this you will need provocation skills.

Tank skills

Shield skill line - two stances

First we are given useful shield defense, its improvement, and then blind defense. The last ability, which gives a large bonus to defense, and when Silent Defense is turned on, immunity to being knocked down, is needed. Everything is needed here.

Shield skill line - shield cover

Shield Cover itself works well, but Shield Wall is better, and you can only have one stance at a time. And the whole branch requires an increase in dexterity, so the maximum is worth taking. Shield preparation.

Shield skill branch - shield strike

The best sang is the second one, which stuns pretty consistently.

Specializations. None of them are completely suitable for a tank, but the Vityaz is the closest to this: we reduce the attack of enemies (we live longer), raise the defense and attack of our allies and ourselves, knock over enemies, which gives us a break. You can also experiment with the Ripper - we suck life out of corpses (survivability), cause damage to everyone around and hit the harder the less health remains. But the end result will be a semi-attacking Persian who requires more careful handling. Berserk is not an option. Well, the Templar has the ability to stun everyone and has great mental stability so as not to get up in dreams and paralysis. For a classic tank, we take the Templar + Knight combo.

Damagers

In addition to the tank, which can withstand the blow, the healer, who mends this tank, and the controller, who prevents enemies from bludgeoning the tank too often, someone else is needed who will give out change for such suffering. Here we simply have a huge choice: A warrior with a two-handed sword, a mage, a battle mage, a warrior with dual weapons, an archer, a robber with daggers. How many options to choose from. One is more beautiful than the other, let’s take a closer look at who is who.

Warrior with a two-handed sword

This type of damage dealer is very popular among beginners because of the highest numbers. Sten, Ogren and the main character will fit here. We put everything into our strength and don’t sweat it. You can add a little more dexterity if you wish. We are looking for clothes that are suitable for damage; protection is not so important here.

Skills and abilities

In addition to standard military skills, we have one of our branches, it has three lines. But first, any damage dealer must take Exit from the battle, because it is important that they hit the tank and not us. It is also advisable to take the last skills from both lines of the warrior - restoring a little stamina is very important, and it’s generally excellent to remove mistakes for a while. And the increase in the chance of a crit in a crowd is pleasing.

Two-Handed Weapon Branch - Stun

We take it all. Hitting with the hilt - additional control. Indomitability - if aggro is broken, or the boss can stun everyone, not just the tank. Chance to stun - can also work on the boss. Healthy. Adjustable crit is also important.

Armor Breaks

The first spell is a debuff. Armor Break - removes the armor of enemies.

Mighty blows

And although including powerful blows is a rather controversial decision, due to penalties to the attack, getting to the only multi-targeted blow is worth it at any cost. Especially considering the nominal damage from a two-handed weapon.

Specializations: - Berserk. For 4 points we get plus damage without penalties and one very strong blow. 2nd - any, if there are points left for development. The Knight will improve things with hits and strengthen the position of the second tank. The Templar is always useful, but not more than 1 in a party, the Ripper is more of a tank, a damage dealer should not take it and spend 4 points on just one useful but dangerous spell - high damage with low health.

Damage Mage

It's best for them to be the main character. We increase the power of magic and a little willpower. We take armor with a bonus to Elemental damage (all kinds of gloves and rings + 20% fire damage, etc.) and magic power. Sometimes you can gain additional reserves or mana regeneration in battle.

Capabilities

We take everything listed in Treatment and Controller only when we have extra points.

Elemental Branch - Fireball. Cone of Lightning + Cone of Cold.

Lightning Stitch. Chain lightning is interesting here.

Branch of Creation - Nature

Magic light— enhances our magical power (i.e. increases damage). It is useful to turn it on when you have already spent 50% of your mana.

Magic Flower– increases the regeneration of mana, which will be in short supply.

Wasp swarm- large damage to one target, take it.

Take the Walking Bomb (Spirit Branch, Necromancy line), if there is not one on the team yet. The rest is control.

Specializations - Blood magic. For 4 points we have an alternative resource for using spells, replenishing it (it is advisable then to take two spells from the Siphon Life line, Entropy branch), Good AoE damage + control and a strong single disable + damage. The last single-control spell on bosses in the Maleficar branch will work at best as damage, because the game will not always allow you to gain control of Orange.

Battle Mage

Naturally available only to a magician. Candidates - any magician. A magician who wears light clothes casts all the spells in battle, and when the mana runs out, he reaches into his bag, puts on Heavy Armor, turns on all auras and passives, and goes to beat the mobs in hand-to-hand combat. Lazy magicians immediately wear heavy armor and don’t care about 30-40% fatigue. In this regard, we take the heaviest armor, because fatigue will eventually turn into a bonus to attack. As practice shows, the damage per second with a two-handed, one-handed or dagger is the same, only the dagger penetrates armor even better.

Spells

Line of combat magic

Battle magic— allows you to require Magic Power from equipment instead of power. We can immediately carry anything

The second passive skill (when enabled) changes the hit calculation formula from “Strength + Dexterity” to “Magic power + Dexterity”. We don’t have the second one, but we have plenty of the first one. Changes the formula for calculating weapon damage from Strength to Magic Power, which changes increased fatigue to a bonus to attack. When turned on, it takes 50 mana (although this is not said) and immediately gives 50% fatigue instead of 5%. So much, because fatigue is our hit on the enemy. So, in the end, we got the “coolest” armor and weapons (with the exception of bows and daggers). Next we take a passable but useful improvement in attack and defense in the battle mage stance and take...

Shimmering Shield. Gives resistance to all types of magical damage - 75%. Example - In one place, the entire party will receive constant damage from spirit magic. Everyone (including the tank) receives 11-13, the battle mage receives 2 damage. Feel the difference. Gives 100 psych. and physical sustainability. No one, except for the harmful, arrogant and generally uncultured Ogres, can knock down or stun a battle mage. It also gives a serious bonus to armor, not like the solid defense of a tank. You take another 50 energy from your reserve and slowly eats up your mana. This is not a joke or a mistake by the developers - after turning on seconds, after 10 mana you will have 0.

The last spell makes it possible to dodge an attack without an attack-defense check (Dodge, judging by other games with attack-defense, the dodge check comes before the attack-defense check, which is very useful) and mana regeneration, which is nonsense, because the flickering shield it will gobble it up from you anyway. The only thing is that if you are not tanking the boss, then you can not turn on the flickering shield and during the battle magic it will eat away your mana.

But still, let's return to close combat. We also take the previously mentioned Magic Defense and Stone Armor. The first gives protection depending on the Strength of the magician, and the second gives armor. Don't forget to include telekenetic weapons in the party. What do we get when all this is included? And we get a cool character who two minutes ago was running around in a robe, and now receives (at a certain stage of the game) instead of 30-40 damage that the tank received, only 20 from the boss. Hit with 1 sword as if with a two-handed sword (though without the included stances of a two-handed sword), spits on stuns, paralyzes and other people's nukers. Are we all running to download the Battle Mage? Not really. One problem remains - the attack. She's still missing. Even with 100% fatigue. We hang a Heroic Attack on ourselves, remove the enemy’s defense by all means - we can still live this way. But what really literally kills a battle mage is other people’s attack debuffs (Weakness, Curse, other people’s knights) - you can forget about hits. Because to dispel someone else’s debuff is to remove ALL buffs from yourself, don’t forget. And we have from 5 to 8 of them. And then how long will you stand to turn it all on again (and the flickering shield also has a brutal CD)?

Dual wielding warrior

Why warrior? Because the robber is designed for something else. You can, of course, make a rogue-mili-warrior-with-dual-wield, but it will be under-warrior. The candidates are the protagonist and the warriors. Characteristics - strength and dexterity in half. A little more agility for abilities. If you have big problems with men-at-arms, try looking for armor-piercing items. And so everything is simple - maximum damage, armor is looked at by bonuses, not by weight. Although if you are wearing massive armor, you won’t be much different from a tank on bosses. By the way, this is a trait of both damage dealers. They are more reliable than others, tenacious, and less demanding of constant supervision. Abilities - Like a two-hander, native branches all the way are desirable. The only thing with hitting is better here due to greater dexterity.

Weapon branch in each hand

We teach it all the way, without this the penalties for weapons in each hand will be serious and the damage will be small

Debuff line

Double punch. In fact, with the same attack speed, you begin to hit the target twice as hard (tested, attack speed is not lost). It’s also a plus for damage per hit. The price is the impossibility of regular crits. But for a warrior, crits are not so frequent. Taken in any case for the next spell.

Counter attack- Crit + Stun.

Crippling Strike— Crit + removal of defense (and also attack and running speed) from the enemy.

chastener- optional.

AoE damage

The very first ability, swinging with two weapons, is a godsend. Not only does it deal damage to everyone who is placed somewhere 150 degrees in front of the warrior, but also with increased damage! The two-hander has been pushing through God knows how long before this, and his damage there is normal.

Triple strike - not worth the stamina spent on it.

Rush. E stamina is not a joke, so turn it on when this same stamina is already 0. Increases attack speed very decently. Great ability.

Vortex- makes a blow to everyone around, and for such a price, and even with ordinary damage. We are not a tank to be surrounded. The swing is much better.

Specializations - Everything is the same as with a two-handed weapon.

Archer

Candidates – The main character is a robber or Leliana. Why is a robber better than a warrior? The robber will be able to pick locks. Warrior specs - Berserker is suitable, but the rest are unsuitable, but Rogue has two useful ones. Yes, and the robber will receive a third more crafts - and pump up poisons, and combat training, and if necessary, Persuasion. Crafts - not demanding, poison is welcome, mainly because of grenades, and it will help in close combat, since it is much more reliable to pull out two daggers than to shoot at point-blank range (more on that later). There are no traps, we are standing far away. Characteristics: Agility. We don’t need the ability to replace strength with cunning when calculating an attack, since the bow has its own formula - exclusively dexterity. We download it, it’s a little tricky if we break the locks. Clothes - dexterity. Only dexterity.

Capabilities

From standard robbers, we only need lockpicking if there is no one else in the party, but we can take the line of lethality (replacement in the damage formula, not attack, so the damage will increase, and for 3 points there are 2 pleasant debuffs as a gift, in addition to changing the formula).

Archery branch

Precision shooting useful, we reduce the attack speed, but we get all sorts of tasty treats, although the decrease in attack speed is felt strongly.

String of Special Shots

Shackling Shot It seems like a good control, always useful, but it rarely works.

Cripple Shot- reduces the target’s attack and defense - useful, we hit more often.

Critical Shot pump, good damage.

Arrow killer does very high damage, much more than a critical shot, although there is nothing in the description about this. So download.

Explosive Shot String

Breaking Shot— armor debuff, useful. It also knocks the target down. Unexpected and pleasant.

Suppressive fire— improves the life of the tank by reducing the enemy’s attack. It can come in handy on the boss, especially if it works together with aimed shooting if you decide to turn it on.

Explosive Shot— He rarely gains stability; he works over a gigantic area. The only adequate control with a large AoE outside the mage, although conditionally it is multi-target, like a chain monster. Go to him and take it right away.

Specializations — Assassin and Duelist, of course, for close combat. There are two left - Bard and Pathfinder. We take them.

Bard— you only need a third song, which gives advantages to attack, defense and crit. chance. Considering the targeted shooting, there should be no problems with hitting. The only thing is that if you don’t download the trick for picking locks, then your song will be weaker than those of those who download it. But there is more dexterity.

Pathfinder— allows you to summon a Wolf or a Bear or a Spider and improves all three with the last spell.

Wolf has the health of a tank, the same nominal damage, and also reduces the enemy’s armor.

Bear He’s fat, he hits well, he can knock him down, but he’s not like a tank.

We fire any shot in battle for 50 energy, call the wolf. If he was killed, we call the bear. In general, the Pathfinder is a huge support for the squad with new fighters.

Improved Beast- animals get an extra ability, but there are no special differences in stats (damage for a wolf, health for a wolf and a bear). If you have a lot of points, you can spend it. If you only use a wolf, there is little point in spending 3 points.

Robber with daggers

Daggerman. The candidate is only a robber. The Rogue is a unique damage dealer. First of all, it’s worth mentioning the backstab - it always works when stabbing an enemy in the back. Characteristics - Dexterity and cunning. Daggers, unlike bows, require dexterity + strength, and we can replace strength with cunning. And cunning is more necessary for the robber’s other abilities. Crafts - poisons are very, very necessary. It is enough to take combat training to 3, I will explain why. The rest is optional. Clothes - due to the low amount of strength, we will carry the lightest things. Weapons - daggers, with any bonuses, the main thing is that the damage is high. Even with one medium rune of paralysis in 1 dagger, paralysis happens quite often, which is very nice, because as soon as your enemies wake up from control, you will not have backstabs, and your DPS drops.

Capabilities – Firstly, out of the 4 lines of relatives, you will need a little bit from everyone.

Rogue Line - Backstab Line

Dirty fight - control is always nice.

Movement in battle- a great thing, it expands the backstab area from a quarter to a half. Backstabs have become much easier.

Feigned death- better aggro reset. If there is a problem with this, download the Mercy Strike.

Stitch Stitch Tricks

Kick The defense and attack debuff is nice

Death blow- armor debuff, also useful.

Third skill Changes the damage formula, so that after taking this ability, the damage will approximately double (in the back for sure). Unfortunately, it does not change the hit formula (strength + agility), but greater agility and permanents from dual weapons should smooth out this disadvantage.. Evasion is again for open combat. It won't add DPS. .

Lock stitch

It is not necessary to take level 4 castles. Locks only enhance the robber's natural ability to break chests and doors, which depends on cunning. Downloading is optional, depending on how often you see it locked.

Invisibility line

There are two options: either take everything, or take two. Option 1 allows you to go stealth right in battle, but if you don’t take level 4, you’ll be constantly noticed. The 2nd option allows you to save points, but from stealth you are only starting the battle; during the battle, only Feigned Death will help you drop aggro. Yes, and in the 2nd option you will be noticed often

Dual Wield branch

Everything is a little different here than with a dual-wielding warrior.

Line of Debuffs

Counter attack- control is always useful.

Crippling Strike- duplicated as a kick, but useful.

Line 4 permanent

All are needed except the last one, because he gives you swords to carry. The dagger requires dexterity, penetrates armor better, and hits faster. The sword will require strength, penetrates armor less well, and hits more slowly. You can hit with a backstab with a sword, only the formula for calculating damage includes dexterity only for piercing weapons - bows and arrows. For a sword, a ton of dexterity is almost useless. True, mastery of a sword also reduces the cost of use... is it just for the sake of it that you need to level up the 4th level of combat training? The rogue constantly hits with crits (backstab is a type of crit). He doesn’t need songs from the bard for crit, or a diverting damage from the controller.

Specializations:

Murderer. Not being discussed. Strengthens backstabs, restores stamina after a kill (like a warrior) and increases all physical. damage to target. We don't need the bard - his only useful song is not needed, we don't need any crits or attacks. It would seem obvious - grab the duelist and don’t think about it. Only here's the thing. Essentially, what a duelist gives: a plus to attack/defense (we have a lot of both), a blow to reduce walking speed/defense (we already have two of these) and all hits = crits for a while. Wait. Backstabs are already critical. So the duelist will give almost nothing to the secretive robber. Therefore, there is a final option - Pathfinder. What does a ranger give for 1 invested point: a pet with the same HP as a tank. Damage from a tank. Reducing the target's defense (same as that of the duelist). Just one point. That is, a little animal that can tank on occasion, and essentially an increase in damage that you won’t find anywhere for 1 point. And you can also call a bear when the wolf dies. Assassin + Duelist is the obvious option. Assassin + Pathfinder seems dubious, but in practice it works well.

Dragon Age - Origins - Forming a universal group was last modified: July 29, 2015 by admin

I personally perceive this mod as an addition to the mod that makes it possible to insert runes into everything; I have already posted it. So this mod adds a small location, see screenshot, where there is a merchant, the author copied it from Duncan, who sells both old runes, they are in Russian and new names of runes in English, and the effects are in Russian. So these new runes give bonuses to defense, agility, strength, magic attack, magic damage, etc. just to put all this into bows, staves and armor! There is one thing, people on the Nexus complain that 1don’t try to insert 2-3 runes with the same effect, for example, +25% damage with nature magic - only one of them will work, well, I think it’s not critical 2it seems like it might not work with the latest patch , but this is not a fact.

Further, there is such a moment, this is in fact not any addition, as I wrote above, but a completely independent mod, which, among other things, should add as many as 5! slots for runes. But I think this is already too much. Therefore, we use it together with the Mod for runes in everything there is still a balance.
