Yea assassin is dmg
I did artificer on my archer and it was pretty meh
Tempest focus ability is supposed to be good I guess

I always enjoy Asdassin but I'm also dual dagger

Seems to work best with dual dagger
I'd say tempest is best on archer

Although MoD is brutal on any char
MoD + rift can do 1/2 a dragons life

Personally, I started with an Human Archer on Hard difficulty, but damn that shit was easy, so I went ahead and made a Qunari Mage on Nightmare, and this game has totally changed for me, for the best. I pretty much always have to use the tactical view, running with Solas (Ice Dmg + Lots of points in support), Cassandra (Pure Tank) and Cole (Damage) + Myself as a Fire Dmg mage soon to be Knight Enchanter.

You got it, dual barrier : unkillable Cassandra, Solas triggers freeze effects on foes for Cole to trigger combos and deal a fucking shit ton of damage, and dual mage traps (1 fire, 1 ice) for absolute zone control. I'm level 10 so far, just got done with Hinterlands, about to start Storm Coast / Forgotten Oasis, and damn this shit is fun.

What do you guys think of the multiplayer? I got a level 11 legionnaire, but I hope they'll add stuff in the future, because only having three maps to play on is kind of bad, with the same missions all the time.

Went dual dagger assassin. Loving it.

Party of black wall champion spec, Vivienne knight enchanter, and Solas rift mage. Fire trap with pull on it does insane damage, and champion is just an insane tank.

On this play through I'm a reaver which is a lot stronger than I thought, ring of pain + that rift move and dragon rage/devour is like 30 second dragon battles lol

Anyone know if rings with ability damage are super bugged?

Read that they are, but don't want to use garbage ones if i don't have to

Yea apparently they suck

I want to make a party with solas iron bull and cole since they're the only chars I haven't used yet but I want to play dual dagger so maybe cole as archer but I'm not sure IB can tank as a 2h

Also considered playing KE for nightmare but the build seems boring

Unless I do at least 2 more play throughs but I'm already 130 hours in on my other 2 characters lol

Has anyone tried a sword and shield build for bull, my reaver atm can somewhat tank but I'm not sure bull will be good considering blackwall and Cassandra are amazing tanks

I use bull as a tank but it is normal difficulty.

I wouldn't recommend Bull for Sword & Shield. As you've stated, BW and Cass are AMAZING. BW is just generally amazing to make sure your other party members don't get hit, and Cass pierces through any demon foes with her Templar abilities, while being extremely tanky.

Personally, I would only play Bull IF I have either Cass or BW on my team aswell, but I don't believe having two warriors is very efficent, since you only require one damage taker, and in order to maximize your damage, you want either two rogues or two mages (depending on your play style; two rogues = absolute carnage, whereas two mages = effective fight control)
