Free Dragon Age & DA II Promo ItemsFollow

Thanks, but Joph beat you to it in the Omni thread.

Posting in a DA thread where Joph invokes me like the angsty, bitter thrall that I am.

Does your wife play? I think I know what to get you guys for your wedding present.

Those items will make the game quite interesting, I would think. I bought some item DLC for DA2 (the mage/rogue/warrior set 1) a while ago... totally changed the dynamic of playing, especially since I had an elemental bow. All of a sudden I was stacking +fire% damage and roasting enemies in a shot or two. Was a lot of fun

Awakening is almost as good as DA2 (and superior in some regards). It feels like DA:O 1.5... half the playtime, but a continuation of the story and the same feel. The ending was also a lot more satisfying than DA:2's.

Unlocked all the items, thanks again guys!

Only reason anything was really broken in DA:O was due to a lack of any real difficulty setting.

All I want for DA3 is some semblance of balance.

Because THAT will happen.

Mage was, but dual wield rogues were really OP. At least, that seemed to be a popular POV on several different forums. I also noticed that at least according to character sheets, Isabella had the highest DPS by far of any of my other party members.

Huh, I must have been playing wrong. I always found Isabella's trees far inferior to Varric's. Plus positioning always seemed to be an issue.

DPS only refers to their damage during regular mash A(Or whatever on keyboard) attacks. Doesn't reflect well to what damage they would do with abilities all to well. Without a Vendetta or Assassination all she really brought to the table was the AoE back stab. And your two other rogues completely eclipse her in terms of AoE damage.

I haven't finished my Bow run through but I know Dual wield hawkes can be a beast if speced right. Although whenever that nerf came down(Sometime after Sebastian DLC and before Mark of the assassin. It happen when I wasn't playing the game.) It took a serious blow. I use to be able to maintain 100% crit hit rate with a really high crit hit damage and be able to tank 1 high ranking enemy. When I picked up the game again and instantly noticed the nerfs when my Dual Weild rogue was getting beaten up much easier. I notice a lot of her stats went down on the char status screen. I still could deal 5 digit damage with the brittle multiplier.

They also nerfed armor for Blood magic. However I do feel the game was balanced at least in mage and warrior land. I have to finish my bow play through to make an accurate assessment of rogue.
