Dragon Age Inquisition - Class Build - Artificer Archer Rogue Guide!

Ойындар

Artificer in Dragon Age Inquisition brings some interesting tricks to the rogue table. It's not a big game changer, but there are some very helpful and powerful combos that can be a lot of fun to execute!
This guide focuses on how to build your class using a combination of standard skills from the Sabotage, Archery skill trees, and new active and passives from the Artificer specialization.
This build has been put together from a fresh respec. With about 15-20 points to place, you can put together a very powerful Artificer that has everything it needs to dominate on the battlefield.
Sabotage
Caltrops... unused but leads to Looked Like It Hurt, a great passive that regens stamina with every critical hit. Artificer/Varric seems to crit very often, making this a no brainer to go for. In fact, I'd say it good for any rogue build to invest in sooner or later.

Gameplay Tips
Poisoned Weapons should be a high priority to activate every chance you get. This plus every Archery shot we perform either basic or skilled attacks, poisons and deals extra damage. Combine this especially for grouped enemies and Explosive Shot to spread poison to all enemies caught in the blast!
Leaping Shot is our bread n' butter here. If you can, craft a piece of armor with a nice Masterwork perk like Hidden Blades, and Leaping Shot will do the rest. Each of the 12 projectiles from Leaping Shot gives a chance to activate a "X on hit" skill like Hidden Blades.
Leaping Shot also goes great with our Focus ability, Hail of Arrows, which duplicates all your Archery Shots for a given time.
Elemental Mines are fun for group fights. Throw a handful of these around and watch the sparks fly! Setting enemies on fire, chilled, shocked and more! The damage isn't half bad either.
A more situational skill, best equipped for boss or dragon fights, is Fallback Plan. This gives you a 15 second window to basically turn back time for your Artificer, resetting his/her position and health to the point it was first activated. Keep in mind, you have to manually trigger the skill again, or you get nothing at the end of the 15 seconds.
Fallback Plan is a great escape tool and at times, a big life saver. If you see someone charging you, or you know something is about to hit you hard, set this down, take the hit, and then activate the skill. It's like nothing ever happened!

    I'm only about 30 hours in the game but again I would say the Reaver. The only ability that I've seen increase attack speed is the Reaver's focus ability and the whole point of the Reaver treee is to deal crazy dmage at the expense of your own HP, and then recover that HP from the lifesteal abilty it has.

    Just so everyone knows, if you use Sigil of the Greatbear and Throw Everything you get double the mines. And with high crit chance you'll get all your stamina back and instant cooldowns. You can do it without the sigil too but it just adds a lot more damage....and can cause weird things to happen. Honestly you can get all your stamina and cooldowns with leaping shot too, that's what I do.

    Jut got back into DA:I and found your channel. Great video :) I do love the "Throw everything" ability for my tempest archer though. You might be out of stamina after use but that only lasts for a very brief moment since you are pretty much guaranteed to get a lot of stamina back via the damage your mines do and since you usually are close to your enemies already it is the perfect time to use leaping shot to get out of danger quickly while your mines are still exploding, continuing to feed you back your stamina (on top of the gain from leaping shot which basically pays for itself :D). It's an immensely fun way of combining those two abilities that doesn't get old. :)

    Hey Kinetic, great videos! A valuable resource to be sure. One thing I wanted to note is that I think you are really underestimating Longshot's upgrade. Solas or a mage with the Lightning mine can clump them together making it easy to line up the shot. It gets more powerful for more enemies it passes through...and more damage the longer its range up to nearly Full Draws potency. The damage and cost efficiency of this upgrade is insane. I highly recommend you give it a second look.

    If you have time, maybe you could do videos about finding collectables as well. Also, I just started using my rogue mainly on the sabotage especially dabbling in the poison skill tree I.e (throwing daggers and the toxic cloud) which I believe it adds the fun in having people take in poison. If you could make videos about that, I am pretty sure that many people would love that. Finally, I want to thank you for all the videos you have created, it gave me a lot of insight and ways to equip my characters with skills. Keep making more. Thank you.

    Plus, with more and more mines you're not only doing more damage, you're also effecting them with chill, shock, burning, and thanks to that are causing massive DOT damage.

    The upgrade for Long shot is actually really nice for groups and that "line" is a lot more forgiving than you would think. I've seen it make very noticeable zigzags to hit people and the more people it hits the more damage it does. Additionally, I found spike trap is nice on archer's when facing terror demons or if you have a tendency to pull aggro, like mine did. With the aggro reduction talent.

    the stamina regen with crit counteracts the throw everything, with a high crit rate you get all that stamina back fast, also you can always use the volley as well to regen stamina and get into better positioning, it takes just no time at all to get the stamina needed for the that as well

  • @IamWalkingDead1

    Kinetic, with every hit on an enemy with every class but mage you get stamina back. Plus the perk with gaining stamina with each crit, if you think it's not worth it, you're completely mistaken. Also, if you're a rogue and you're not speced for getting crits, you're kinda defeating the purpose of the class... Sorry if this comes off as insulting or rude, not the intention.

    You need to relax man with this "you're completely mistaken" attitude. For one, I have my opinion, you have yours, and that's fine. There's nothing mistaken here other than your belief that I have to think like you on this. I put in the hours, testing and skill swapping over the past few weeks. I know of course you get resource on hit. And I've been around the RPG block certainly long enough to know what crit means to a rogue/thief class. -- With that said, I don't know if English is not your first language or you're simply misunderstanding what I said in the video and the reply I gave you originally on this. I'm not saying it's a bad upgrade or that it's not worth it. I'm saying, I don't like it and don't recommend it UNLESS you do have the crit. If you do, and want to spend the point, and will use the skill often, then that's fine. I don't see what reason you have to push this harder that I need to say more than that.

    Total misunderstanding :p I do have a question though. If hail of arrows doubles the amount of arrows you shoot... Would it also copy their effects? Like if you poisoned your weapons, then did leaping shot or explosive shot to explode the poison or fire a legion of arrows covered in poison, would it count each cloned shot as a real one and apply poison to it? Cause if so, that makes this focus ability so much more useful thanks to the amazing dot you can do

    Wouldn't it be better to set up Fallback Plan before running in to throw the traps? That way you can warp back to a safe location right after setting them up, and then you'd rain down arrow attacks while your bombs explode, then you repeat once the trap are out of cooldown.

    Best class in the game. Go 50%+ crit chance (i have 63% at the moment of this post), get "Opportunity Knocks" and "And Take them Down" passives, Hook and Tackle to run in on anything, follow with Leaping Shot (if you have +50 stamina belt follow this with Elemental Mines then Throwing Knives rinse and repeat, only use hook and tackle as needed in order to close in or to get that last crit for a leaping shot. Buy upgrades for all of these skills except Elemental Mines don't buy it for that one. Once you get the belt and are able to add Ele Mines to the rotation most enemies will freeze making it very hard for you to take any damage. Tackle uses no stamina so its spammable and since your crit chance its so high by following the rotation i posted there your skills will have no cooldowns and you will just keep rotating endlessly and do massive amounts of damage, all monsters will die so fast they can't do anything about it, dragons you have to be a little more careful, i recommend getting Evade if you have issues, i was around lvl 14-15 when i started to run this build, no upgrades outside of tackle are required so go from there. EDIT: If you fall out of rotation simply watch your cooldowns something will be up, all the other skills you will get are not needed for anything they are just fillers, the required passives outside of the 2 mentioend are already must haves to get the action skills i mentioned. If you feel you don't need evade for dragons as i do then just go for "Tricks of the Trade" for another 10% damage. I currently have strafing shot but i don't think its being used at all, i sometimes shoot just to use up the buff from leaping shot and knock the enemy down but that's about it. Don't go for "Hail of Arrows" its very buggy and most of the times you won't be able to use it, you'r only bow skill its leaping shot and it will often make you go through the floor or freeze you and force you to reload or reset the encounter on its own. You move around so much that it works as your defense. No traps are used in this build unless you just want to fool around and do little damage. By level 20 or sooner depending on which of the optional upgrades you ignored, you should be able to buy Stealth with the upgrade and "Ambush" passive for a 50% armor penetration bonus, remember the crits will refresh the stealth so its as tho there its no cooldown on it.....artificer all the way!

    I second the requests for sword and shield templar, but have you done a video yet on stat theory-crafting? Much of the gear is the same except in their allocations of metal/leather/cloth which translates into choosing between attribute bonuses or +bleed +stagger or resistances. Most specifically, I'd like to know for any given class whether I should be going for +wisdom or +crit chance, or crit chance vs crit dmg - that kind of thing. I admit I have not scrutinized your play list yet, so if you've done that already, thank you and keep up the great work. If not I think that would be your next most immediate need, imho.

    Spike Trap is underrated in this video, I highly recommend it. I, myself find that you only need 4-5 main abilities for this build: 1. Stealth, then move toward target(s) or get near ally tank. 2. Spike Trap to setup by ally tank and/or enemy target(s). 3. Leaping Shot out of harms way and deal damage. 4. Elemental Mines, thrown from range to deal additional damage. Rinse and Repeat.

I want ability spam. The Artificer Archer with high crit is that though and through. So tough to use the first 13 ish levels but as soon as you have the crit cooldown passive game becomes easy mode. I can come up to a group of enemies in stealth... put the poison weapons on and then elemental mines down that drain all stam and the explosions crit and give me all my stamina back in a couple of seconds... enemies that are left barely alive are sundered and then i drop leaping shot. Group clear. next... haha

Because if you have't tryed it you relly should, It give an other dimention to your positioning as an archer (wich add more fun imo) and it give you a big plus in your DPS as soon as there is more than one ennemie.

    Enemies are rarely positioned in such a way that the upgrade would be as beneficial in my eyes than other abilities. When making builds, I try to aim for the skills that will be as useful in most battles, rather than spending points in areas where they will only be useful in certain situations. For example Poisoned Weapons and Infected Wounds. Always useful in every battle, no matter the enemies position. Archers Lance, only if enemies are lined up correctly.

Its working way more often that I tought it would before I start using it. Its sure that it does't add the same impact to Long Shoot as Infected Wounds does to Poisned Weapons but, its a bether upgrade that Chain Reaction and a way bether skill that Strafing Shots if you have extra points to spend imo. Still, its not a ''must have'' skill, its just something that add extra fun and damage I wanted to share whit you, thx for your answer.

    I second the notion that archers lance is a good upgrade. The description is super misleading and makes it seem like the enemies have to be perfectly inline really it causes longshot to bounce from your target to any other enemy within about a 30 degree cone behind them. It is great for boosting the damage of longshot as well since by the second or third shot you might have gained an extra 5-10 meters of distance. As was stated before not a must have but certainly useful and a lot of fun

    +KineticGTR I know this is an old reply, but for any possible new viewers/readers that can learn: You gain stamina with every hit for rogues and warriors. And the passives in the dagger skill tree apply to archery. so the passive where you gain 50 stamina on every kill does work with bows. So literally there is no reason why not to take throw everything. You gain stamina no matter what, and if you kill or Crit (which as an artificer or rogue in general if you aren't criting a lot, you're doing it wrong) you'll get even more back.

    For build variations, I would very much like to see a sword and shield templar, thought it would be neat to make a dwarf sns templar character. Also, kinda off topic, but in regard to mages what staff element do you find in general most effective? I normally like to hold onto one of each element for each mage, but that then takes up 12 slots in a very limited inventory (3 per mage plus my herald is a mage) plus you can't change weapons during combat so if you wander into a fight with a staff enemies are resistant or immune to it can really screw you over.
