Great built! And thank you for the hint about crafting materials that let you put mage armor on rogues!

Been using this for my first ever nightmare difficulty run on DAI, and wow, it absolutely MELTS any enemy you throw it at. Like you noted, the main problem I'm running into is casters, but that's easy enough to fix with stealth. Great guide, thanks!

This was super helpful thank you!!! The game scene has been not what it used to lately so I been kickin it on some oldies such as Skyrim, Dragons Dogma, and this gem. Thank you!!! I had this game on nightmare speed farm way back in the day with my wow buddies and I couldn't remember how to build artificer leap shot rogue!!!

Great video man. Currently doing my second playthrough, first was on vanilla, now with GOTY edition.

Even with awful gear (In my case), Archer Artificier is one, if not, the most OP class for slaying dragons. I remember using Varric at lvl 19, and he slayed the Dragon before the rest of the team could get to it.

If you want to raise your survivability you need toxic cloud with lost in the mist upgrade. It provides elusives and can be stacked up to 3, so just bath in it constantly and you don't have to worry about being hit. Honestly, the sabotage tree makes any rogue broken. It completely eliminates the use of barrier for me, I just went full on melee with my team. Cassandra, Vivienne, DW Sera, and my dual dagger artificer inquisitor just breezed through Jaws of Hakkon without taking any damage. Both Sera and I have Toxic Cloud as favorites in the tactics.

Nice guide, nice build, love it. Just one thing that's kinda driving me nuts here is how the hell do you get your weapon damage up to 244, i can't get it past 198 and i don't know what i'm missing

I've also gone ahead and tested your bow vs the enaste bow(exploding arrows). when comparing i found the main difference is 12 dexterity, this equates to 12% more crit dmg but 6% less atk. your bow also doesnt have exploding arrows, which nerfs extra dmg per shot. this is using your bow with the "wrapped longbow grip", if you were to ditch the dex and instead commit to crit dmg, you could instead gain 27% more crit dmg totaling to 63%(via the "thick Longbow Grip"), but lose out on 18% atk.

What is the real armor type you using? It can't be superior battlemage armor, because it has a utility slot for cloth, and every utility on cloth I know is either +magic or +willpower, which is both useless on rogue. And you don't even have any of those stat on your crafted armor. Thanks

Didn't have same armor instead went with superior prowler armor instead with prowler arms and hunter coat leg and got as close to what u had but lil more on the crit damage bonus have it at 190 and crit chance 63 didn't have the most optimal materials like the ice dragon hide since so limited at 14 so i went with great bear hide and snowfleur skin

Hey man, PS4 here. So even if I use the Dales wool, or even the arms/legs corresponding to your video which are the battle-mage pieces, I still don't get to choose Dex as affixes. For light armor all I get is Magic/power will unlike the pieces/armor on the medium sets...So like...what gives? Neither of the 3 slots allows me to add Dex whether or not the Dales are used. Another thing as well is that even if I use the medium set, as high as I can get is 30 Dex including the arms/pants...Are there like "special" ingredients I'm missing or something? I'm lvl 20 as well.

@@dailydistraction3793 i just tripple checked, using hunter coat legs, with prowler armor arms upgrades with superior prowler armor is only .5 less dexterity but 44 more armor than the superior battlemage armor and its upgrade slots. The defenses do change though, you can get more max health on the medium armor with some range or melee defense, but lose out on the magic defense. something else to know is that health is what your total guard is. more health = more guard. Also, health and guard apply to all dmg types, where as the others apply to only the specific types. to be fair though, more health is almost always better than defense due to numbers game. a spell does 100 dmg, you have 16% defense, spell now does 84 dmg, so only save 16 health. if add health, spell does full 100 dmg but you get bonus +128 health(32 guard), you save 28 health(60 if using guard). Numbers change as the dmg hurts more though. 1000 dmg vs 16% =840 dmg now, thats 160 saved vs 32(0 if using guard) health lost. Sorry for the long read lol. hope it helps.
