I love RPGs and RPG builds. I'm not a fan of conventional builds though, where you just follow a formula. I like to create my own unique ones with a lot of tweaks and roleplay elements.
I make videos about boss fights, builds, tips and advice on how to deal with challenging parts easily in certain games. On top of that, anything really that I consider an "achievement" in games. Plus whatever else I feel like sharing sometimes - which now includes playthroughs and longplays as well.
My favorite games are: Mass Effect 1, 2, 3, Dragon Age Origins, DA Inquisition, TES: Skyrim, TES: Oblivion, Diablo 1 and 2, Fallout 4, The Witcher 1, 2, 3, Deus Ex, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Gothic and Dungeon Siege 1, 2.
I love the challenge, so I only play on the hardest difficulty in every RPG I come across.
I am also a fan of strategy games like Rome Total War, Age of Empires or Warhammer 40k Dawn of War.
I hope you will find my content informative or at least fun to watch!

Any reason why you prefer Whitewood over Sorrows of Arlathan? Seems like Sorrows is better in every way?
I don't like to use dlc rewards weapons because they change tiers in Awakening. That's just it. You can use it if you want to. I love the Whitewood because it has great dmg, awesome crit chance bonus, and it's fast. Plus is looks good. :)
I was wondering if a Qunari would be better as their vitaar's give damage instead of defense since the sword/staff has such low base damage it would be a very large dps increase on top of their racial ability.
Damage wise the Qunari is always the best. I like the human for the +1 ability. :)
I know this is late already but...we can be a Ranger without ranger specialization and without being a Rogue. Just play as the Cousland, choose Warrior class and Archery, always bring the dog everywhere. DA:O Ranger specialization is a lackluster, it just summons some beasts, why we want that while we already have a beast, our faithful Mabari? 😂 Pro - the dog will not get unsummoned as a permanent party member, can find random stuff, can equip kaddis and collar as we wanted, can level up as we wanted. Con - Warrior can't lockpick, disarm traps and can't get into stealth mod. But in my opinion, warrior archer is actually better in combat than rogue archer at the get go, no need to wait for the level ups and setup. - Warrior can manage agro with Taunt and Disengage. - Warrior get high hit rate early with Precise Striking and later with Perfect Striking. - Warrior Talents and Specializations are more useful overall for utility.
Must've been a shocking thing for the Landsmeet to witness Loghain get mauled by a Bear
Your Warden absolutely stole the kill at the end there. 😅
yoo! for Inquisition, do you have any suggestions for weapons/shields schematics that aren't from DLC? Black emporium is cool, I just usually don't play DLCs until after I beat the base game and I don't like to use golden nug.. Not rlly sure what to pick up here in the mid-game. Thx!
@@cjlee5717 I don’t use the golden Nug either, and that shield is from the Descent dlc. You get it as soon as you kill the ogre alpha - basically at the very beginning. So if nothing else just go there for that. Make it jump off the cliff and get the shield. Most of the basic shields in the game are sadly trash.
Hopefully in the future we get a warrior class called,”Colossal Swordsman”. 1.) Passive Ability: Each swing stuns and frightens nearby enemies for a duration of 6 seconds. 2.) Active Ability: Block and Riposte - perfect parry and knock down all nearby enemies for a duration of 6 seconds 3.) Active Ability: False Edge Vengeance: A four hit combo: right false edge rising cut, into a right front edge horizontal head cut, into a left front edge horizontal head cut, into a left false edge downward head cut 4.) Active Ability: Triple Strike From Behind - a left high kick, into a right horizontal slash, into high left spinning hook kick 5.) Active Ability: 4 Kick Combo - left teep, into a left side teep, into a right spinning back kick, into a left high kick
In Inqusition you can get crit chance to 100% And you can get crit damage much higher ☝️
Cool idea, thanks! I was wondering about the strength modifier of shields (it is 1 for all the shields in game, it seems). Do you know whether it is just some redundant number or it actually affects something?
Blood magic talents are really unique & fun, On DA ll too, They removed it at DA inquisition because they ( Bioware) claims that it's not good for the inquisition reputation. Latest reports confirmed that blood magic won't be used at the next game, This time they don't want to give their heroes ( our companion including ROOK) bad reputation. We enjoyed this skills at the first & second game. What do you think sir of all of that, And do you like this specialisations?
I love BM and I wish we would have it back. :)
@@AKisHerceg Imagine no BM on the land of BM!! This's unacceptable our dear Bioware 👎.
The combat is so mid in Inquisition I could barely tell a deference with the classes unfortunately
I played all class in insanity mode, vanguard is god of godess, is the only capable to create insane stuations.
I feel like static cage is a must have with BoT/ Elemental Barrage, 24 hits all getting a bonus 50% electricity weapon damage. With a frost/ fire BoT, you'll be hitting with all 3 elements. Blizzard with the 40 mana cost upgrade would also activate your ice armor and act as a persistent freeze effect for only 2 more skill points in the tree. The real shenanigans begin when you have a second mage with Encore giving you constant bonus damage/ attack speed/ healing.
Lmao! This is definitely not fun. I try it, but no fun! Gets so boring! Well especially in DAO. If they could fix some things in it, in DA4 it will be cool.
Not sure why you think it's boring, I had a ton of fun with it. I also don't understand the "especially in DAO" statement, since this class in only available in DAO.
I’m not sure you’ll see this but do you have any dragon age 2 ai videos? Getting ready to do a run through in prep of the new one
I haven't made AI builds/guides specifically for DA2, but my Trilogy Builds show my team's AI setup there. :)
Can you check on something for me, i am currently playing DAI and i am at Haven Level 7 and i notice there is an decrease in critical damage bonus of 3% when the dagger of the dragon say that there is a plus 3% to critical damage bonus.
When you play ranger ya gotta be a dalish elf....
Greatly enjoyed watching this. Love your Mass Effect content and cannot wait to see this playthrough carry over into ME2!
@@BCblue27 Thank you I’m very glad you enjoyed it! :)
I can't put point on Shotgun - in fact, there's not even "Shotgun" on my skill list... I'm confused 😅
@@fabiozonatto2554 You need to unlock it by killing 250 enemies with a shotgun(I think 250 is the number of kills you need for the achievement, but it could be 200). Once you do that the shotgun skill will be available for any class as a special skill you can pick when you start a new game.
@@AKisHerceg thanks my friend! Then I'll focus on that
@@AKisHerceguh, I've just noticed that perhaps I've misunderstood everything here: I need to kill 200/250 enemies with shotgun so I can unlock the passive on a class that doesn't have it? So I'm on my very first run and I've started a new infiltrator on insanity... that means I can't do this build since I haven't unlocked the shotgun passive on a previous run??
@@fabiozonatto2554 The ability to pick an extra training is only available for newly created characters. So yes, if you unlock the achievement, it will be available for the next character you create. The fastest way of doing it is to just start a run with a soldier or vanguard and just kill the enemies at the beginning. Quick-save before you kill them and reload. The achievement is accumulative so it doesn’t matter how you get to the number of kills required. :)
Dose this work for xbox or pc only?, great video either way!
Yes, and no. The build works everywhere, but based on some feedback, the consoles don't support multiple pets. They de-summon when there are more then one, so sadly you can't have your own little zoo. :)
Do you guys ever play it for the roleplay? like, choosing the characters you like the most for the party based on charisma etc. Everything I see on the fanbase is about build, combat, how to kill faster ...
Hello o/ really love that build. Like you say in many videos it’s always more fun with a group. Which companions would you prefer to compliment this build. Would you say this more a cc or dps build? Thx in advance :-)
It's both. :) You can get anyone, but I recommend at least one rogue with high physical damage. Sera with her bow or Cole with Mark of Death, in case you fight high hp bosses or dual immunes.
Amazing 🙏
I have always shied away from drinking my companions' blood as a Blood Mage (I literally exit Blood Magic and drink a normal health poultice and then re-Blood Magic after the cooldown lol) because I feel too bad for using my companions like that lol but after watching this...
Knight Enchanters are excellent Dragon Slayers. 2H Templars are excellent Demon and Darkspawn and Human slayers. Artificer dual daggers and or bow r op
Was just about to replay DAO and will definitely be trying this build😊
I know this is an old vid, but I've replaying DA2 and DAI and just think it would be funny if the Hawke and the Inquisitor asked about this version of HoF. Anders, Alistair, and Leliana remembering him denying he is a mage while Cullen remembering him doing a lot of push ups and gettting swole
with all that stacked buffs, tho...
@@rafaelbruno2128 Buffs are there to use them.
Cool Build, but I have a question. For the DAO Final Build what is your Statistics without gear? How Much Dex, Strenght, Cunning? What kind of Skills does the character has? Thank you <3
Really love your guide. Which makes me appreciate dual dagger rogue immensely. Played nightmare this time as arcane warrior and Zevran stole my thunder by slaying high dragon, Flemeth and Gaxkang lollllll
Flank Attack and Throwing Blades for Dual Daggers, and Longshot and Explosive Shor for Bow 🤷 Makes ai allies much more deadly with less abilities
and people say warriors are not fun, Warriors can be tonnes of fun specially with two handed, also Two handed warriors get the best sustain of all Indomitable making u inmune to knockdown and stuns is so dam useful.
Could you do a dual wielding bard build
Bard is best to couple with Assassin, since they both get a lot of bonuses from Cunning. I have a Trilogy Build called Master Assassin - it's a Bard/Assassin. Check it out! :)
can i ask why Alistair did not had any level up till the tower of mage to full equip dual wield around @8:15:00
It's because that is the part when you can fully equip him as a dual wield warrior with two swords: level 12, 36 dex and 4 available ability points. Until then if I would want him as dual wield he would be way too lame. With his shield, he comes with two great disabling ability and one good sustainable skill that protects him from arrows. That is better than having him try to hit enemies with dual weapons when can't use them effectively yet, because he has no skills with them. He needs 4 passives and 36 dex to equip two swords, so until he can do that, it is useless for him to start using dual weapons. It's much better to have him Shield Bash and Shield Pummel enemies.
@@AKisHerceg would speding the points be useless while still using shield and sword? that's what I dont fully understand. thanks for the quick answer tho
@@toplanetxt158 It would just boost his dex, which would give him a bit more defense but not that much. His hits would not be stronger and he would not be able to take more dmg either. If you want, you can start boosting his dex though.
For the algorythm. I was thinking. Since independent Ai rouge team dealt perfectly with everything (plus masterworks). The warriors needed damage buffs like to the death of revers dragon rage. How did the magic AI dealt with saarath. This is the only group you did not show us how they can handle the sarebas
The reason why I did not show you is because elemental attacks do very poorly against Saarath. It takes forever for them to bring him down.
Oh good. To know. I thought that fire mine and winters grasp could do great against him but I was mistaken. Finally finished the game. Took me two tries to finish saraath. Too many collectables in this game 😂
@@adrianblania5565 He has like 70+% flat dmg resistance so Fire Mines don't really do much. Winter's Grasp is ever worse, because he is immune to "chilled" so Winter's Ruin does nothing against him. He is a pain in the butt for mages. :)
@@AKisHerceg so what about lightning and spirit damage ???
@@adrianblania5565 Same, because there is no lightning and spirit based spell that is stronger than Fire Mine(1600% weapon dmg) or an enhanced Winter's Grasp(1200% weapon dmg). Saarath has no elemental immunity, but he has a flat dmg resistance to everything including every element.
What are the upgrades you use for each of the abilities
Почему у Сэры и у Варика вы ппокачали ветку специализации, а у Коула ветку убийцы вы нп прокачали. Убийца настолько плох?
Sera's and Varric's spec has abilities that help the build. Cole's Assassin spec is great, but for this build, his Assassin abilities don't fit.

Rouge-ranger: All right... then I'll call a wild wolf to bite his ass off. Is that better? Imagine you are a legendary general, but you are defeated by a wild dog in front of the entire nobility.
Yeah. For Dual Dagger ai allies. I just give them 4 abilities only ☝️ 1.) Throwing Blades 2.) Stealth 3.) Flank Attack 4.) Evade
The thing is that this fight is the hardest for most classes, but for the dex rogue it's the perfect fight, as he can dodge all attacks due to his defense parameter. At the same time, there are places in the game where defense doesn't work at all - for example, those two ogres in Denerim can kill dex rogue before he can get back on his feet. The same applies to spiders and shadow werewolves. Also not quite right to compare on the same gear. In order to offset the weak defense of a cunning rogue, you need to put on all the evasion gear you can, while a dex rogue you can focus on the gear that does most damage. For example, a dex rogue doesn't need First Enchanter's Cowl and The Spellward can only be used when encountering mages. Cunning rogue 100% needs to replace the useless +2 dexterity boots with Lion's Paw or Cailan's Greaves (yes strength requirement, but 10% extra dodge chance...).
Naturally all classes have their Achilles Heel, otherwise they would just be overpowered. Ogres in Denerim: yup, the rogue's weakness is the knockdown and stun abilities as well as magic. This is not just the dex rogue, but every rogue. Still, with the Evasion passive you have 20% chance to avoid debilitating abilities like the knockdown from Ram or the stun form Scattershot. Spiders and Shadow Wolfs are a pain for everyone except builds with high armor because Overwhelm is an unavoidable ability. As you said, enemies can mop the floor with the Dex rogue sometimes, which is why it is still good to boost their dodge chance. Some abilities do not check(ignore) defense but they check for dodge%. Dex rogue does not need the FE Cowl or Spellward? Yes, it does. With that Cowl(and the amulet) the dodge % will reach 55% which means that you have a far greater chance to avoid attacks, since for 55% of the time, your defense will not be checked, and you will automatically dodge. If the 55% fails, then your defense will run the roll on weather or not you will be hit. This is much safer. It comes down to preference I guess, but I go with dodge instead of damage. No it does not. Well, at least on Cailan's Greaves - The Lion's Paw gives +10 dodge so yes, that is a good footwear for the cunning rogue - but I don't have that dlc. The human rogue starts with 10 STR. Ten. The BARE minimum requirement for Cailan's Greaves is 36! That is 26 points of STR difference. Even with Fade Fonts and temporary extra STR that is an insane investment into a stat that you have zero benefit from. At that point you might as well just go STR with two full sized weapons, because losing all that CUN is a massive drop from your possible damage. If you are min/maxing, Cailan's Greaves is out of the question for a Cunning rogue.
@@AKisHerceg When I played dex rogue I didn't wear items for extra evasion at all. No one ever hit me anyway )))) That was a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure that when you put all your points into dex, you just don't need those extra dodges. Just that 20% that give you a chance of not getting knocked down. But it will get in the way a lot the rest of the time because of the attack interruption animation, which is annoying. About the Kylan boots. I just remember them having good evasion, since I used them with a battle mage - who also has a built-in evasion chance against normal attacks and can ramp it up to 80-90%. A rogue would be better off stopping at the lion's paw. p.s. Unfortunately the rogue can't use Reaper's Vestments.
@@AKisHerceg p.p.s. Cool videos man. I haven't seen a two-handed rogue guide from anyone but you. I remember accidentally discovering it myself - I had a sub-optimal cunning rogue, but with heavy armor and two swords - and at some point I decided to hit a strong enemy with a two-handed sword from invisibility.... and accidentally knocked out the heavy hand achievement for the first time )))) Very surprised that the game even has backstabs for two-handed weapons.
@@EminNSU Cailan's Greaves works fine with the Arcane Warrior, since that build converts Magic into STR, so high STR requirement is not a problem. Yes, the Combat Magic ability gives 25% dodge chance, so it's easy to boost it up to 75% in Origins esp. with Cailan's Greaves.
@@AKisHerceg More! Fade Shroud 25% + Battledress of the Provocateur (+15%) + Cinch of Skillful Maneuvering (+10%) + The Spellward (+10%) + First Enchanter's Cowl (+10%) + Cailan's Greaves (+20%) = 90% dodge. Or 85% with Reaper's Vestments Instead of Battledress of the Provocateur
This is actually much harder with party tho, cuz in the rock phase there's some flunky pathfinding and they might find themselves "rocking" back and forth the rock walls which might kill them by getting boxed in with the fire wall lol.
That part is true, but with a solo mage, there is no Aveline to tank the damage or Varric, Merril and Isabela to detonate combos. You can also just get them back up if you are a Spirit Healer, so it's actually easier with the team.
Привет, подскажи, пожалуйста, где можно получить амулеты силы на Железного Быка? Я нашел такую информацию, что один вроде как можно получить по заданию ставки командования "Ставка командования: Исследовать цитадель Теринфаль". Написано, что данное задание можно получить, только если выбрать сторону магов с их квестом "по секрету", но я хочу выбрать сторону храмовников, чтобы получить амулет на барьер, который падает с Фионы. Неужели никак нельзя получить амулет на Быка, если не выбирать сторону магов? Я хотел размножить всем амулеты силы, чтобы прокачать все скилла и пассивки и посмотреть, что из себя представляют профессии на максимуме прокачки. Удалось найти решение, если главный герой Кунари, то будет доступно задание в ставке командования "Ставка командования: Связаться с наемниками Вало-кас". За выполнение дают амулет силы на быка. Осталось найти, информацию где находится амулет для Дориана
I wonder Can your Meat sack be just be a tank who has a lot of heath and still be out in the field fighting
Looking back at this the thing I miss most about dual wield warriors is dual striking. I love when games give you alternatives to building for crits since I prefer reliable high base damage with no rng to it. Dual striking was a perfect way of doing this letting me brute force my way through enemies with extra attacks. Only issue was the auto miss bug but on PC we can just get rid of it. Only wish there were more good maces in this game because I do prefer to smash and bash my way through enemies.
Dual Striking dealt more damage even with the auto-miss, which is why it can even be considered "working as intended". It was even better for rogues early to mid game, because there they still lack a good dagger and high crit dmg(Rose's Thorn changes that but you need to cough up 148 gold for that dagger). Plus Dual Striking with Stealth produced double auto-crits, so it's pretty amazing with the rogue as well.
@@AKisHerceg Yeah it's not bad with auto miss it's more that the auto miss just annoys me so much. I'd take a damage decrease if that's what was needed to balance it instead of auto missing but constantly whiffing is just silly. Never thought much about using it on rogues since they're so focused on backstabs. Stealth doing weird things like dual striking crits doesn't surprise me at all. Your videos have taught me well enough how ridiculous stealth can be depending on how you use like the animation canceling trick.
The way I screamed when the dark wolf said 50 sovereigns is crazzyy😭😭🤣🤣I was also wondering whether you get most of your money by doing most of the chanters board side quests?
I always finish all the chanter quests in Awakening. They give a lot of money. :)
Life ward amulet?
It does not give the speed/damage boost Revival adds - neither does Kitty's Collar.
I was like "eh, its pretty cool I gue-...35k??? Holy shmoly"
So how do you have 3 bears in party is it a mod because I thought you could only have one summon at a time
On pc, you can have multiple summons. No mods required.
