- Dragon Age Inquisition - Class Build - Tempest Archer Guide!
Check out the video and the quick written guide below!
Tempest flasks combined with Archer skills, Stealth Skills, and a few drops of poison. This build satisfies the desire to pew-pew and shoryuken your way through mobs. And who could pass up that insane Fire Flask + Thousand Cuts combo huh? It's like bar-b-queing cheese. Shit melts real quick!
This guide focuses on how to build your class using a combination of standard skills from the Archery, Subterfuge, and Sabotage skill trees, and new active and passives from the Tempest 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 Tempest Archer that has everything it needs to dominate on the battlefield.

Gameplay Tips
Stealth (30 seconds) Poisoned Weapons (10 seconds) Full Draw for the start of a battle, particularly against squishys and they're likely dead. When the backup comes charging, try to take advantage of the remaining time on Poisoned Weapons, and blast them with Explosive Shot to damage and poison the group!
From here, you can either down a Flask of Lightning and continue to pew pew from range, or start moving toward the group, Stealth and Shadow Strike to deal damage and lower cooldowns.
For big groups that just need to die real quick, like 2nd waves of Rift spawns, down the Flask of Fire and immediately activate your focus ability, Thousand Cuts. Thank the maker, you just destroyed your enemies, and it didn't cost you a single tick of your focus power! Beware: activating anything between Flask of Fire and Thousand Cuts may result in you spending your focus!
Another fun combo with Flask of Fire, more for the lulz than anything, Flask of Fire, and then beat the crap out of your target(s) with Shadow Strike repeatedly for the duration of the flask (avg 5 seconds)
Flask of Lightning enables you to basically speed up your attacks by nearly 100% for the next 7 seconds! Fill em full of arrows with basic attacks, or perform combos while your enemies are frozen in time!
Poisoned Weapons + just about any skill is the preferred way to make use of this skill. Poisoned Weapons and just basic attacks? A waste most of the time. Combine it with Full Draw, Explosive Shot, Shadow Strike, or cast it just before the Flask of Fire+Thousand Cuts combo to deal even greater damage!
Keep firing! Pincushion is steady increasing your dps!
Feel free to unlock other active and passives from the Archery and Tempest trees. Keep in mind however, that you can only have 8 skills equipped!

Who's watching while in self-isolation, replaying DA:I heck yeee
me
Hell yeah
Wow 😅😂😭😭
I am
Andraste entered the room
7 years later and I still have so much to learn 😍
Bruh I just started playing and I'm so confused and intimidated
@@emmanew3226 same here haha
@@emmanew3226don’t have to be intimidated, it’s actually all quite simple. The hardest part is getting schematics to build better weapons and then getting the materials to get said weapons. But it’s not that it’s “hard” just time consuming
For tempest dual dagger folks, create two daggers, each with a fade-touched item that gives a 20% chance to cast Hidden Blades. Then: stealth-->poisoned weapons-->twin fangs (w/upgrade)(from behind the enemy)-->shadow strike (w/upgrade)(already back in rear flank position)-->thousand cuts-->deathblow.
Every hit, including the ones from thousand cuts, has a 20% chance to ALSO cast hidden blades. Depending on your passives, you should also be recovering stamina throughout. And with the shadow strike upgrade, your cooldown times should be much lower.
I remembered when I first got the tempest specialization for my Sera, I didn't think much of it but when I was playing and I had Sera in my party I was in a losing battle then Sera (I would guess was the flask of lighting ability) riddled my enemies with arrows fast as hell and I was like "how dafuq you do that? lmao
What makes me laugh, is I have her equipped with ShadowStrike, so sometimes she activates the flask and goes running at super high speed, uppercuts the bastard, and then runs back to go into machine gun/arrow mode! XD
KineticGTR Ever though of making a Toxic Archer?
KineticGTR its patched, spent my points to see myself. 1000 cuts won't activate after flask of fire.
Jurrian dz it isn't patchd u dumb fuck u use flask if fire first the do 1000 cuts not after u use 1000 cuts god people sometimes
Jake Matrix i used flask of fire. All my skills were "free" to use except for 1000 cuts because it drains focus.
So basically the most immature and crazy person in the game has the power to continuously rip everyone in her vicinity to bloody shreds?
I love Dragon Age...
Lmfao
So? Immature doesn't mean weak, crazy usually in games usually means insane dps, glad sera is on our side
+Sheldon Dinkleberg Ohmyfuckinggod just stop.
+Sheldon Dinkleberg true and gay, I don't know how many people will get that reference.
Not Now lol sera is gay

Thanks so much for this well put together video guide! I was having trouble deciding whether to go for Assassin or Tempest for my archer, but now I know I gotta get Tempest! It looks like mad fun, and I like how the skills work with each other. Thanks again. :D
For all those wondering if the Flask of Fire + Thousand Cuts still works...I just tried it again and it's working fine on PC.
Hi, does this build work well on IA, or do you have to be playing it to make the most of it ? Because I don't plan on micromanaging SERA too much other than positioning and important spells at certains times, or change her focus, so does she do well on her own with that build if you've tried please ??? Thank you !
Tom Georgin All of the builds I've made are viable for both your main character, and AI companions. With this build, there is one danger that may be a problem and that's Shadow Strike. If the AI chooses a bad time to use it, it can result in series damage or death for Sera.
nm
Why do u go with shadowstrike?
jifyum07 Because it's fun! There are no rules that say you can't fight medium, or even close range as an Archer.
Previous Video - Rift Mage Guide! ruclips.net/video/mrL6lDezoyo/видео.html
2022 and I'm just about to play DAI for the first time. I will try to make this archer build. Thanks for the video. =)
Thank you for the builds. They're quite fun, especially for me since I love Archer classes in practically every game. xD
09:26 that corpse launch was beautiful
Great guides, I watch them multiple times and really enjoy them. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the video, Kinetic! I wouldn't necessarily pick up evade just because the CD on leaping shot isn't that bad, and worst case I can just stealth out again, which is another short CD. Shadow strike is pretty cool, though.. hmm..
I usually apply poison and then spam explosive shot after the flask, then cycle through the rest of my skills with full stamina until the flask is off CD. Seems to be the most optimal, imo. I only play on hard, but I tend to not have any issues.. not to mention 3x thousand cuts at full focus can pretty much destroy any boss.
Pretty solid build. I just kinda swap the stealth skills for more passives in the Poisoned Weapons side, though. I find that more useful since I'd rather not get into melee at all. I'm very glad the Thousand Cuts glitch was patched, that was simply broken...
I love all of Kinetic's builds but I wish he updated each of them for the Trespasser DLC which gave every single upgrade an alternative
Nice video. I will be trying this build today as I just unlocked the Tempest for my Rouge. Can't wait to find that bow u are using. Thanks.
Which bow is it please?
I can’t remember but it might be the Longbow of the Griffon.
The Thousand Cuts and Flask of Fire exploit has been patched.
Damn
Damn
Damn
Damn
Damn
I hate when I find a good channel too late, been years since you posted bro, hope all is well
3:23
"25% woma- weapon damage" Lol
Love this series!
Tempest and Reaver are my 2 favorite specializations so far. I hope you make an Assassin Archer guide.
I'd love to see you cover a Two Handed Champion. I've been testing it a lot myself lately, re-speccing Blackwall to see how it plays out. Now I'm using the bearded one more than my main character! It's the perfect blend of offence and defence. You can either go all out attack, using Champion's increased guard and momentary invincibility when things get rough, or take a couple of passives from the Sword and Shield tree and be the party's heavy hitting tank.
By the way, this build is lacking one key feature. Leaping Shot. Why? The devil is in the details...
Every time you use it, you fire off a large number of arrows . Each individual arrow has a chance to critical hit. And given you are a rogue, your critical chance should be quite high indeed. Combine it with the passive that gives you stamina on every critical you score, and you are in for a real good time. You can potentially regain more stamina than you expended using the skill.
Still not convinced? It's also insanely powerful if used with fade-touched weapons. Let's say your bow has a ten percent chance to cast hidden blades on hit. That ten percent applies to every individual arrow. Although you only get one hidden blades per leaping shot, that one time is almost guaranteed.
My own tempest rogue has a ten percent chance of invincibility for three seconds on hit, and Leaping Shot triggers said effect nine times out of ten. So it's become my "oh shit" button, getting me out of harms way and heavily damaging my opponent, all the while making me invincible for a short period so they cannot follow up with their own barrage of attacks. Now imagine having 5-guard-on-hit instead. You'll have warrior like protection every time you use the ability.
MarquisSmith My main reasons for not taking it are A. I want to stay close to the action for Shadow Strike. If I need to "escape", I can stealth or FoL. B. I don't have the space for it. I'm maxed at 8 already and prefer Explosive Shot and Full Draw. I agree with everything you mentioned, but it seems counterproductive to this point blank style of build.
Makes sense. And hey, at least you'll never back flip off a cliff by mistake. That shit gets annoying. Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for the video! This build looks really interesting. Note my problem is there are so many build I want to try but don't have enough time!
Omgfire elixir and 1000 cuts is just so awesome. Used to think tempest was the weakest spec for rogues. But now I want to make a tempest inquisitor.
I always go with this build for sera, i just love it.
There is something extremely satisfying and hilarious about decimating a boss with the thousand cuts attack and then simply punching them to death
It’s just very Sera
I love Sera. Sometimes I have more fun playing her character than I do my own.
this build is amazing.thanks.can you do a necromancer build next?
Great series of vids, fine company for the quarantine!
Love the videos, Kinetic. My main is a 2h reaver as well, what sword are you rolling with?
I've spoiled myself with this build. It's so damn fun and easy to play tempest archer that I can't bring myself to do other rogue builds.
Great video, thanks a lot for the ideas. I did your sword and board reaver build for my first play through, I'll try a tempest archer next. My wife has beaten the game a few times now, and was going on about the tempest archer awesomeness.
I always play as dwarven warrior in rpgs, so I did in DA:O, but this time I think to go with dwarf archer, this class seems so cool in Inquisition.
Thanks for the vid man!
Always wondered how to use the Tempest build.
Quick question, how in the world are you shooting 3 arrows at once?
Is that a skill, or a weapon you picked up?
Answers would be appreciated :)
Unique bow that shoots 3 shots :)
KineticGTR What is the bow called?
KineticGTR how u got it?
it is Longbow of the Griffon.
first time playing dragon age inquisition and the series. Looked up class builds very helpful video, just started on nightmare A Challenge is what makes it fun:)
Ye it's ridiculous how FOF could work with Thousand cuts . Even if the bug is fixed by BW,it's still very powerful .
Use Horn of valor(upgraded) + drink 3 elixirs- 1 hp pot/regen pot & resistance pot as passives grants bonuses & Thousand cut a dragon,GG . Even more damage with Mark of death triggered, flask of lightning spam with Leaping shot/deathblow !!
Exp shot is quite OP if you hit the target at its weakest point, i discovered this few days ago after my 10th playthru, it can do up to 8-10k damage on explotion… basically 1-2hits WITH barrier on… insane. Sick build! I had something alike just had to make sure i was still OP
KineticGTR now that the TC exploit is patched in patch 5, what are your thoughts on an alternate tempest archer build? Have to cut back on some points to reach both hook/tackle and leaping shot, but which?
Is this build bad now or something?
Man i love these build videos;) Especially enjoyed playing this build. Only lvl 14, but got most except the bottom part of subterfuge. ;)
Will you be posting parts from your playtrough with the inquisitior? ;-)
Thank you so much for your build. Truly helpful! ^_^
Ok I watched a few of your videos and you're amazing, subscribed
This is the most pro drug ad I've ever seen
Would love to see an archer assassin bit. No one else on RUclips seems to have done it yet.There are a few tiny one minute vids but that's it. :D
back the last time I played DAI, before my recent return, I played a 2h Reaver, and had a fondness for putting Sera and Solas in my party, along with a tanky-as-hell Blackwall. I'd switch up now and again, but that was my standard party.
did something VERY similar to this for Sera (was kinda following this video for guidance, so of course.) though, I found myself forgoing Shadow Strike and it's upgrade in favor of Fighting Dirty and Explosive Toxin. with Blackwall's mad tanking, my own ability to draw aggro and exploit clustered enemies, and Solas's ability to weaken/cluster/contain enemies, it just helped to have the bonus to AoE than an extra one target high damage attack.
I have been watching some of your builds, and you have a lot of creativity and find synergy in skills where no one would find them... Excellent work! I just wish you could advise which skills should we prioritize, in order to have a sustainable character earlier on...
If you're going to do an Assassin Archer I have a combo that works wonders especially against all dragons/any large targets
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
leaping shot plus fire flask spam is fun
Damn, that footage at 2:40 was niiice!
❤😮im going to build tempest archer the same way you did.. i like what i see ❤😮😮very cool
You have GREAT VIDEOS!!! bro. I'm subbing. Keep them coming.
Haha! I had almost identical Sera build in my team, plus my (elf girl) Quisitor was a dual-wield tempest.
Blackwall and Dorian were pretty much just along for the ride as elf girls tore up nasty people and dragons. :) Also, the triple-shot bow is soooo cool :D
Nice build, I'm growing up right at this time a rogue archer and I plan to make it rogue archer Tempest soon as I can. Only there are a few things that have left me perplexed:
1) Why did you skipped the upgrade of of "Evade"? Because it would make you do 300% damage while jumping away from enemies.
2) Why did you take the skill "Shadow Strike" with his upgrade as is melee and technically the archer should stay away from the melee?
Also you may take off a little curiosity? I noticed that when you showed in the video operation "Flask of Lightning" Evening not fired one single arrow but three simultaneously, one front and two angled at 45 ° to the first. It 'a characteristic of the arc that you had equipped?
Probably the long bow of the Griffin which shoots 3 arrows
Yup definitely using this build for my female rouge inquisitor!
Wow thanks for this i was about to start over cause i hated my Archer build but jesus that was insane
Also I feel the point of flame and lightning flask (without abusing 1000 cuts) is to use their short durations to deal op burst damage by using quick animation skills. But I don't really see you doing that, just using normal attacks
I'm going to use this for my Sera. Thanks.
Can you make a video guide for the best party? You have all these awesome class builds but what are some good class combo's to use?
well for me the best party members are: Cassandra, Viviene and Sera or Varric (both of them are the best rogues).
Best party is really a matter of personal preference. Ideally though, you almost always want to run one of each class in your party. I like two Warrior, Mage and a Rogue.
champion, KE, tempest + anything
KineticGTR I use the same party setup. It took me a while to figure out the AI settings, but once I did, I ended up using Iron Bull, Sera, and Vivienne. My I was sword and shield at first, but changed to two handed reaver after seeing your reaver vid, so I replaced iron bull with blackwall. Now I'm working on an archer. Thinking about going assassin and putting Cole in my party, I hear he is good.
Raymond Shoemaker Grammar errors, won't let me edit, please ignore.
kinetic ma man!! u r d best!! i am playing this game after watching all ur vids and i must say these are really helpful and informative..helped me a lot..i am playing as a tempest archer now..but i wana use respec and play as a dd tempest...can u plzzzzzz make a dd tempest build... i hav seen lots of people in d comment section also asking for this build...thx :)
Hey man, just letting you know, I'm uploading the DD Tempest build right now :)
M super excited! u r d best!
Playing Sera like this releases lots of Sera-tonin, its a scientifically proven fact.
Thank you so much for this video!
9:26 Fus Ro Dah!!!
Soon I'll be doing this build for both my inquisitor and Sera... Unlimited Power!!!
Hey kinetic, can you please tell me what difficulty you play and show off your builds at? I'd like to know how to pick certain abilities asap to adjust to my difficulty. And by the way you're build guides are freaking amazing keep up the good work we all love u!!
I play on Nightmare. Thanks for the support! :)
Boys it a sad day. It got patched.
No, it didnt
@@danieldowdican5045 yes, it did, the Thousands Cuts exploit was patched.
@@SeventhheavenDK yeh I found out I was wrong very shortly after I made that comment but couldnt find it again to fix it lol
I know this is old but it still works today
I have a special on a bow that gives me thousand cuts along with the actual skill
God Bless all of you and your families never know what people are going through ❤️🙏
My Dagger Tempest build:
Pop Poison Weapons and Flask of Frost just before entering battle. Start with Flank Attack to poison and freeze everyone it hits, Skirmisher will auto-stealth to drop aggro. (I have Hidden Blades on both daggers, it almost always activates with Flank Attack) While the initial target if frozen, hit 'em with Twin Fangs, if not dead, pop Flask of Lightning and tear into 'em. Toxic Cloud might be useful but things are usually dead first.
I haven't found a way to use Flask of Fire effectively, mostly just when I'm out of stamina/everything on cooldown.
Thousand Cuts with Hidden Blades on both Daggers(a third on armor?) is stupid powerful(throw on Cole's Mark of Death and nothing survives), no unintended game glitches required.
I just picked this game up a few weeks ago for the xone, thanks for these build guides. Quick question: Which build do you find more FUN to play, assassin archer, or tempest archer?
Adding items to this would be really helpful
flask of fire and spam of throwing blades (with Precision Targeting) does a GAZZILLION of damage
The flask of fire still work?
like i stated before would love to see ya post a archery/artifice or assassin build or even a templar s/s build
This game has been sat forgotten in my library for almost a decade, I stumbled across it the other day and figured it has been neglected enough ! oh boy !! im glad I finally decided to play it !!
Are these guides still viable with the current version of the game ( whenever the last patch was rolled out ) or have there been too many changes for these to be valid in 2023 ? I know Knight Enchanter had a very unpopular "Nerf" in the past but it still seems OP as hell for me !
In case you need an answer still, due to trespasser DLC skills got new upgrade options, stuff got nerfed, etc.
If your playing on the most recent version, definitely look around because some guides are outdated, tho they should still kick ass... probably.
I have an old copy for the 360 that never got updated so the flask of fire focus bug still works there.
Now that Tempest's Fireflask + Thousand Cuts has been patched, any new thoughts on the build?
How do you get so much guard on your characters? I can barely get 2 bars on my warrior inquisitor and none on other characters. Also thanks for this video, I've been stuggling with fights for a while.
Hey!
I've been watching your videos (which are great btw) to get some inspiration and you don't seem to pay much attention about abilities who can create/activate combos.
Is it because you don't think combos are worth it ?
Playing as a Tempest Rouge Archer now and all I can say is ""WOW".
Great vid as always. Any chance of a tempest guide for dual wielding rogues?
Dual Dagger tempest is what I wanted but..i guess this might help a bit. Also do you plan to do videos one different party set ups?
Great build mate
I think Tempest is best suited for dual dagger, just saying
I already tried and it work really nice
you just spam flank attack + flask of fire, once it run out, switch to ice + twin fang, once it run out, switch to thunder + basic attack
by the time it finish, you should not have any moment to wait for next flask of fire
I finally have longbow of the Griffon from the temple of mythal took a while but also worth it I also have the kitty's collar equipped to handicap myself stat wise it's fun
What bow is that or what masterwork are you using for it ?
Great vid btw :D
when you reach full build nothing can be compared to dual wield rouge with assassin specialization mark of death can just 1 hit everything (i did 120k with it to a level 23 dragon with one combo and early trigger)
I feel a little silly for speccing Sera as a Duel Dager rogue now, great build.
Have you started doing anything for the Necromancer yet? I am considering going with that specialty for my inquisitor.
Don't suppose you'd be willing to respec Cole for an archer/assassin guide? I think that'd be interesting and more my style.
i have a question .....did the archer builds also work that good on varric with his bianca ?
hi !! Nice vid am following this build with some modifications like using the leaping shot with the flask of fire will give insane dmg!! you should try that! anyway i want to ask what is the max lvl for attributes my DEX is at 50 so if this is the max lvl does crafting with lets say +16 dex still adds to the attribute if its on max lvl or should i invest on other attributes ??
I've been watching your DAI clas builds and they're amazing. Is it possible to translate some of those Rogue Builds into DA2? Cause I'm getting Dragon age 2 pretty soon.
nice build build what bow are you using
Ahhh.. The good old thousand cuts.
KineticGTR i've been watching your vids and i got say good job :) But i would like to know what do you think about DD rogue tempest? does it worth it? i'm asking this cause i'm making cole archer assassin and my main rogue dual dagger tempest :)
Hey KinecticGTR, which class do you recommend for the main character, considering that he/she cannot be removed from the party?
God remember when flask of lightning used to let you walk underwater and get out of the map
Flask of Fire working with Thousand Cuts is not intended and a confirmed bug/oversight as stated in the Bioware forums. Officials said that it will be patched sooner or later, so the best part about Tempest will be a LOT (!!!) weaker making Tempest an underwhelming spec imo. But as long as they don't patch this it's insanely fun (I can 2 shot some dragons with this...).
Interesting build once again, although I disagree with some points, but maybe that's personal preference? For example, I wouldn't take Shadow Strike for an archer, but I would always take Leaping Shot for my main, it's just too good imo.
Yes, the AI can't really handle that skill, but I think it's a must have for the main character.
Nevertheless it would be interesting to see how you would change the build once Flask of Fire + Thousand Cuts is patched, because...let's be honest here, that's why 99% of the people play Tempest, right?
Of course it will still be one of the best focus skills in the game, but it will not be ridiculously overpowered like it is now.
A good video, as always. Any hints what the next build will be? :)
It doesn't just work with a Thousand Cuts. It also lets you spam the even more damaging Mark Of The Rift. I had to take both focus attacks off my hot keys, as the temptation to abuse the glitch is just too great. So why not just use it? Well, it makes the game a walkover, even on the highest difficulty settings. Fun at first, cheap in the long run.
MarquisSmith
Yes, I know that it works with all focus skills, it's just that Thousand Cuts gets the most "attention". And I totally understand you taking off those skills from your hot keys, it makes Tempest almost as boring as Knight Enchanter :(
sT4RduZZt It sonly boring if you play it in a boring way, You can only use the damned fire flask once in a blue moon really, and fights are sometimes CRAZY. at that point, you get to fight more waves using the ice,+lightening+leaping shot. There are many other things you can do as a tempest. Which is the point!
Heck, I'm lvl 11 atm, and thousand cuts rank 1 does not one shot all enemys, not even close. its not that op. maybe late game.
David Boggs
I agree that TC is ok in early and mid game, but have you seen the tier 3 focus version on a High Dragon? Cuts his health in half (no pun intended...) and before they patched it you could use FoF -> TC -> TC -> High Dragon dead...
and that's just what made it so insanely overpowered.
Yes, it is still a really great skill, but finally it's not this "I make every boss in the entire game a complete joke, lol" skill anymore after the patch.
I didn't like Tempest from the beginning, even when it wasn't patched (or maybe because of that?) and my archer is an Assassin, because I like restealthing and stuff.
But hey, I don't judge people for playing Tempest or anything, just personal preference. :)
sT4RduZZt Thats cool. i was assassin, but man I died in like 1 shot everytime. I wanted more control, and the ability to do MASSIVE aoe damage. and with TC explosive+poison +leaping shot x3? hahaha
yeah, I like tempest because there are many combos, and interesting ways to go about doing things. For me assassin felt very boring, where all my damage as single target really. AS tempest I feel like a real rouge, in terms of veriety in how I want to deal with someone. This is when I was a DD assassin.
I switched to archer tempest, and WOW now the game is fun. You know, maybe I just fucking suck. but on the esiest difficulty, in the best gear for my lvl. I was STILL getting one shotted HAHAHA my rage was so high. its like game developers don't understand what "easy" means.
easy should be easy both in terms of damage being dealt, and taken. IDK...the easy mode description said something like "for those who just want to enjoy the lore" thats what I want lol a hard game is not a fun game to me, I just get pissed. I like a LITTLE challenge, where once in a while I have to think.
I'm starting to relies I suck at games.
*sigh* Guess I'll have to reload my older save to get the Tempest specialization. I already sunk in a few hours to get Artificer but this looks so much better right now...
I also use this layout and yes he is right it's unstoppable
It got patched though?
beste Build thanks man
Great video! It's great using this build, but when I leave the ai to control sera, it seems that she keeps getting injured too quickly. Can you give some suggestions with the tactics and behaviors settings with this build? Thanks!
Hi,
really nice build, it works perfect but I have one question, do you know if the combo flask of fire and thousand cuts still working? cuz when I use it I loose the focus (I've only used it with one level of focus and without the flask upgrade cuz I'm lvl 12, if that's the matter then I'll wait another level)
Thanks ^^
Wow, I cannot imagine that was intentional for stamina cost to be the same as focus cost...that's insane.
This is so disgustingly broken you can just pop a room full of mobs. Any1 remember back in the day the only way to play a rouge was Dual dagger. Nice to see the Bow finally gets some love.
