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

Ойындар

Assassin Archer opens fights with incredibly powerful combos while maintaining a safer distance than a dual dagger Assassin. If you like the idea of stealth sniping, this build is for you!
This guide focuses on how to build your class using a combination of standard skills from the Sabotage, Subterfuge, Archery skill trees, and new active and passives from the Assassin 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 Assassin Archer that has everything it needs to dominate on the battlefield.
Please Note this build is still a work in progress. I will likely add more skills, upgrades and passives later once I have more points. I will upload an updated build once it's ready. This is the majority of the builds skills.
Sabotage
Caltrops... unused but leads to Looked Like It Hurt, a great passive that regens stamina with every critical hit.

Gameplay Tips
The Assassin Archers main strength comes from his incredibly powerful opening combos. Poisoned Weapons with the Infected Wounds Upgrade, Mark of Death, Stealth, Full Draw, pew pew, trigger Mark of Death, and your average baddie is dead.
Another fun opener is Mark of Death, Hidden Blades, Stealth, Leaping Shot from close range, and then trigger Mark of Death.
If the battle is long, try to save Poisoned Weapons, Mark of Death, Stealth, Leaping Shot, and Hidden Blades to combo together. Mark of Death with Full Draw gets the most benefit as an opener and the uninjured bonus damage.
Poisoned Weapons 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!
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.

    I got to level 14 of a nightmare playthrough with this build. I kinda moved on to other games but keep meaning to get back into it. My character was just starting to really deal out some lethal damage at a distance. The main set-back is that you cannot take much damage yourself so need to keep on your toes.

I was testing the build at lvl 7 u have potentionals to wipe whole squad with trials on and it s not even wort usin for stamina reasons and enemies got like thrid HP at max with explosive shot. So unless u usin it with poison weapons as opener to setup some aoe dots it s not even worth considerin usin most of the skills. Im runnin sniper build myself rn and I didnt even put most of my skillpoints at archery tree at all. Mostly usin debilitations and shadow abilities and it s workin okay. only two skills from archery u can use at nighmate are longshot and leapin shot. everythin else is kinda situtational or friendly fire.

Real nightmare should and allways been in past with friendly fire included, so when somebody sellin u milion damage build without friendly fire included it s like sellin NBA2k builds without achievin anythin just trailers of somebody else dunkin over u all the time. If u really wanna achieve anythin and feel completed that u wanna feel like u accomplished somethin urself u should allways turn on fiendly fire. It will test u, it will annoy u, and it will kill u more times than not but it s really very rewardnin to accomplish the game without exploits and overkills becasue some skills are broken without friendly fire. So if u wanna play without it it s really ur choice. But for us hardocre nightmare fans and grinders fridnely fire should be on default as were in previous games and RPGs that came before.

    Well honestly u wanna kill right away anyone that u shoot first so full draw is kinda waste cos u got more damage from longshot with max range than full draw and u dont need to waste stealth. Full draw is slow and not entirely reliable. I ve got more better results from longshot that full draw most of the time and the stamina dependency is in longshot 100%. like at higher lvls it s maybe okay but at lvl 7-10 u cant just blast ur whole stamina bar with one skill and then run as headless chicken to wait for a bit stamina replenish to be usefull again. So yeah my max skills ends at leapin shot and the passive on right side then Im maxin utility trees. and honestly if u debuff enemies faster and in wider range u can save more stamina and dispatch them quckyl overall than spend 90% stamina on one enemy kill him right away true but hen u re kinda useless for a bit.

    +KineticGTR your build videos have proven to be very useful for the whole DA:I community, personally i've learn a lot thanks to them, and we all appreciate the time and effort you've put on such epic task; but what if, in order to mix things up a little (both for you and for all of us), you include a couple of videos about other interesting topics, like: - Weapon & Armor Crafting (tactical approach + what stuff you actually use on your builds) - Valuables: "do-not-sell" list. Other than research items and things with some description (i'm still afraid i'll end up selling something important at some point). - In-depth Dragon-Slayer guide (how to prepare for each dragon, and in which order you recommend to kill them ) - War room tactics (tips, priority missions) - A beginner's guide (not an in-depth walkthrough... But a tactical approach) on how to prioritize missions and exploration. This game is huge... and sometimes is so easy to overlook important things, or spend hours in a non-critical area... i'm sure a couple of videos covering these (and other) topics could be very useful, and i'm sure other experienced players will also help a lot in the comments section! Well, that was a big wish list... LOL Now go and have fun w/ family and friends... wish you all a happy new year!

    One of my favorite classes and builds. I like to drop three into dual daggers to get the extra crit chance from flanking, and you'll also be getting the 50 stamina regen by default which, coupled with looked like it hurt means stamina really is never an issue. This is especially true after using a stealth leaping shot or hidden blades as those crits will essentially give you a stamina free ability. I ignore explosive shot and upgrade full draw leaping shot and long shot (the aoe for that is actually pretty large so you'll hit a lot more targets than you'd think). Stealth is key of course so I grab it with the upgrade and cheat to grab evade and get the activated dodge from that tree because I think its fun more so than anything :). Then run down the left hand side of the Assassin tree to finish it off. I believe I have my gear specced to where I'm doing 175% crit damage and around 28% crit chance but I use the dalish scout armor (because of the look) and both of those could be cranked up even more using the superior prowler armor. I crit full draw for 12k so nearly every late game nightmare enemy will drop with a mark of death and most will go down without it. Anyways thats how I built my Archer and I'm loving it so I thought I'd share :)

    I speced my main as an Assassin Arhcer and I like it a lot. I always open with cloak / full draw and take a huge chuck out of the enemy health (if not kill them outright) straight from the beginning. You can do some high dps with this build. It may not be QUITE as good as the dagger assassin build, but personally, I find the archer more fun than daggers. I'm looking forward to the update video. (Thanks for posting this one too!)

    As this is an Assassin Archer Guide I want to share a combo that you can do with only a few points in the trees, it works best against large targets such as dragons but its great to nuke anything What you do is you pick up the 10 stamina per crit passive along with the auto crit from stealth, pick up stealth as a skill, leaping shot, mark of death, and hidden blades+upgrade... In this order you do this... Mark of death (Make sure you stand right next to the enemy here) Stealth Leaping Shot (If the 12 shots of this connect thats 120 stamina returned and its maxed out again) Hidden Blades From there you can continue spamming skills or active Mark again and proc the bonus damage On my weapon i had 10% chance to proc hidden blades as a masterwork and with 12 hits from leaping shot and 9 from hidden blades this can proc so many times

    Well, there are essentially only two ways you can conceivably play an Assassin specced Archer, and this is one of them. This one in particular tends to work fantastically well throughout mid-game and relatively well in endgame. The spec used in this video does contain a few things I wouldn't put in the spec myself, but this is up to personal preference; for example, not everyone will sacrifice a slot for poison blades. The key to the Assassin spec really lies in 3 aspects: The synergy between Assassin and Subterfuge and certain abilities elsewhere, your stat distribution (Crit Damage > Crit Rating), and your party setup, though that last one will depend on which spec you end up with. There's a mid-to-long range option, which is essentially a variation to the build outlined in this video, or the short-to-mid range option, which is the ...well, other option. In my opinion, I find it to be the better one, but this is up to personal preference, really. ranted, this is mainly due to the tendency of hidden blades to miss at mid-to-long range unless a target is completely stationary. Short range option pretty much revolves around critting so often with autocrits that you should never have issues with stamina or cooldown timers, especially when you trigger a masterwork hidden blades effect. This can be done by going into stealth and using Hidden Blades, Leaping Shot or even Throwing Knives from Stealth, combined with the passive effect that adds even more armour penetration in subterfuge. The actual damage this will do, provided you build your stats accordingly, will be more than a full draw can actually do, even with all potential modifiers in place (except for throwing Blades). The only difference (range notwithstanding) is that full draw can be upgraded to induce sleep, which a passive in the subterfuge tree can take advantage of. Long range builds pretty much involves the same strategy, but with fewer, more powerful hits; hidden blades and full draw being the primary abilities there. Poison effects are arguably more useful in the long-range option to add some more sustained damage where needed. Interestingly, Long Shot (plus upgrade) is present in both builds, considering its consistently high damage on multiple targets at mid-to-long range. Explosive shot is actually an option too, which fewer people seem to use; I am running some tests with it at the moment, to see which is the better option for AoE. Finally, I would also not be too quick to dismiss Knockout Bomb. it is arguably one of the best CC effects in the game; you can use it at range, and it's AoE. It also synergizes well with that same passive in the subterfuge tree. It is optional, though.

    Strafing shots is the bread and butter of archery builds. Repositioning while attacking is invaluable and also makes the build a lot less movement restricted (more fun). This means you can fire while getting to higher ground and/or flanking area, the damage you make while moving outshines any other ability as the alternative is stop attacking and move into position before you continue attacks.

I have tried building groups and skills centered on combos, and it was a pain to play, too much micro, and little result. I would like to get your opinion on it. Do you completely disregard the cross-class combos for your whole group? Or would it be good to have some companions doing it?

    If you don't prefer micro managing it seems to me that Cassandra has "the best" tank AI. I never control my party members and she has never failed med (0% Stamina Reserve, Follow Cassandra). Preferred Shield Wall, Challenge and Call to Arms and Let he keep shield bash and disable everything else. Pick up desirable passives along the way. I personally think Fade Rifts and Demons are easy enough so I haven't given her any Templar abilities yet (lvl17 Nightmare). I have Vivienne as a full blown KE in my group, focus on Spirit/Fire. The AI does a poor job, but at least she hardly ever dies. The last spot varies, depending on whom I'm doing missions for (inner circle missions) but I prefer to pick my party by whom I like rather than focusing on roles. The game is ridiculously easy anyway, if you're crafting your own gear. At the moment I play an Assassin but I don't think the Specialization matters too much. Any of the three will work just as well and Artificer is most likely the best build by the numbers. Seems most fun as well, so I might even reload a pre-specialization save and go for that one. If I'm not playing Rogue, Varric is always in my party as he's invaluable at higher levels.

    Blackwall is hilarious, an incredible tank, Cole is a fucking amazing damage dealer, but incredibly squishy, so better give him the evade ability to quickly move out of danger, and have at least 1 mage in your team to keep up barriers. so basically, have 2 damage dealers having one of them use utility in combination, a tank, and 1 character dedicated to utility.

    Here is what I use: First, Mark if death followed by hidden blades to initiate attack, then hook And tackle From sabotage to get close And follow up with leaping shot to ensure all 12 hits connect. Right After you land, activate fade ability cloak of shadows. After you are behind your target, use precision targeting throwing blades from sabotage and follow up with full draw to finish off If initial assault didn't kill the target. This is my build so far: Archery First blood Death from above Leaping shot (upgraded to rolling shot) Striding shots Full draw Sabotage Caltraps Looked like it hurt Poisoned weapons Hook and tackle Cheap shot Throwing blades (upgraded with precision targeting) Assassin Hidded blades (upgraded with overkill) I was never here Knife in the shadows Mark of death Cloak of shadows

    JRsoFLY123 On potentially hard fights, yes, it's safer that way. If it's just a regular group of enemies that you know won't be too much of an issue, then just go to the wheel menu (where you get potions and can give commands) and with a target, select "Attack my target" and your companions will attack. The only problem with this, your ranged attackers will almost certainly pull aggro first. So if your tank isn't fast enough, the enemy may go to them and slap them around a couple of times before the tank gets aggro properly.

    There's a weapon mod that kills with this weapon explode for 75% weapon damage. So say you use full draw with poison and get a kill on an enemy in a mob, the others are going to be hit for about 1700 or more, and then poisoned. Something to think about.

    I've tried a poison build and it's just not enough damage. DoT is great and all but trying to build around it is a losing battle in this game. If there were poison runes or a poison fade-touched items there might be some possibilities, but a poison-based build just doesn't work. However, if you could build an entire party around CCing for DoT....might be something there...maybe? But in my experience, things are usually dead before getting even half the potential damage from a DoT.

For example in this he is using Cole to show off the Assassin, he could buy the respec amulet and give Cole daggers and spec his points into those and boom different build. Only the Inquisitor cannot change the spec they choose in the save file, but for build videos it doesn't matter.
