    The Deathbringer build is finally complete! This is now my sixth build for the trilogy. Playing it was very fun, and it just further solidified the Two-Handed Warrior as my number one favorite class. I hope you enjoy it!
    For people who were interested in what was going on with me since my last video:
    After I made my Mass Effect video, I got very busy during the summer, but by the end of September, I was already back editing this video.
    Sadly, however, my father passed away in October and I just could not find the time/energy to continue editing. His death came out of nowhere, and it was really hard to process it. It was probably the hardest month of my life.
    Although it is still hard, I feel better now, and I am ready to continue the channel. :)

    I have done a very similar build to my Trevelyan warrior in DAI. I went for pure strength & high critical chance build, the only difference is that he’s a 2 Handed Champion with a twist.
    With the Amulet of Barrier, Fade Touched cloth that grants Hidden Blades (Five additional hits) in his armour & Walking Bomb in his Chromatic Greatsword, (which causes insane elemental damage & Spirit Damage combined) it’s as if he’s casing spells. In a way he’s more a less a Knight Enchanter + Necromancer + a rouge all in one. Believe me, he’s quite a beast on the battlefield.
    With the right skill set even early on, I was able to create an unkillable warrior well before my specialisation as a Champion. The last time I took any damage was when I was at level 1!

    It's me again. Big fan for your warrior build clips! First of all, I'm really sorry for your hard time, yet very appreciate your passion for the franchise, as well as the precious time you've spent editing these videos. As always, the build is very well done. But above all else, I think this build is not as good and general builds as the Golden Knight. For the golden knight, you can truly solo the entire game from the begining with full trials on with lots of survivability and still can deal a hefty amount of damage, I would like to hear your opinion along with any correction (if there are any) for the two handed berserker build that can solo the game with full trials? Gears, skills and masterworks ? Thanks in advance.

    • @AKisHerceg
      @AKisHerceg  8 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you. :)
      To be honest, my Trilogy Builds are not really meant to solo the game, this is why I always put the recommended party in the video as well. They are focusing on party-play. Sure some can get pretty op and if you want, you can solo the game with them, but this is never really my intention with the Trilogy Builds.
      Trials are in Inquisition, and in Inquisition there is no Berserker spec sadly. The best you can get there is the Reaver.
      So if we are talking about Inquisition only, then: a two-handed warrior who can solo the game with full trials? Well, my "Reckless Reaver" was able to do just that. Reaver is good for all trials because it can heal without potions if needed and it has very consistent damage. You can use the Amulet of Barrier and basically become impossible to kill, since you generate Barrier based on damage, and Dragon Rage deals a lot of damage.
      At the beginning, get Combat Roll, War Cry, Mighty Blow and Charging Bull asap. Those four skills will be able to get you out of most trouble. Don't be shy about spamming CR, because those rejuvenating barrier having mages are insane at the beginning.
      During the Haven battle, kill Fiona(need to recruit the Templars) and get the amulet. After this, unlock the spec and the game becomes a pretty smooth ride.
      Get the Dragonhunter Axe, put Walking Bomb and Targets Explode on your equipment and start destroying everything.
      For more info, you can check out my build video about it. :)

    Hey Herceg, I hope you’ve been doing and staying safe.
    Watching this video again was pretty cool. Reaver and Blood mage are just really cool classes.
    Makes me wonder your opinion on how crazy it would be if blood mage can be combined with Reaver in all the DA games? Haha.
    Also for this specific build, how well does sword and shield work with it? It’d definitely be less damage but how would you build it for sword and shield?

    • @AKisHerceg
      @AKisHerceg  6 месяцев назад +3

      Blood Mage and Reaver combination? Dominating both the arcane and the physical with blood? I take that! It would be awesome.
      Less damage? I guess it depends on what weapon you have and what are you facing. I think W+S warriors have access to nature damage weapons so the Arishok fight would be much faster(qunari are weak to nature), Shades, Pride and Desire demons, Arcane Horrors, Darkspawn are also weak to it. It also has access to a Spirit weapon, so Revenants, Undead and Darkspawn are also toast.
      The idea would be the same. Berserk active with Might or Control. Sacrificial Frenzy + Cleave and then unload with Assault and Scatter(good spike damage and stagger). Shield Bash is also good - interrupting enemies mostly. In between this attack, Shield Wall is turned on and off to not decrease damage. Heal with Devour if you have to. Since W+S is much less squishy than 2h(thanks to the passives), you can actually keep up your damage buff longer, because you can still tank damage at 20% health. So W+S Reaver/Zerker sounds pretty freaking good. :)

    • @AKisHerceg
      @AKisHerceg  8 месяцев назад +5

      There are multiple ways:
      1. Momentum. This is for dual weapon warriors and rogues only.
      2. Swift Salve. This is a consumable, which can be used by any class.
      3. Haste. This is a sustainable spell from the Creation tree.
      You can add them up for maximum speed. However Momentum can't be paired with Haste, because it will actually slow down your attack speed. Haste can be combined with Swift Salve and Momentum can be combined with Swift Salve too for max speed.

      Depends on what you are going with. S&S warrior? 2H warrior? Dual weapon warrior? Double weapon rogue? Rogue archer?
      Generally, for rogues and warriors, Wynne is pretty ideal for support. If you go with a warrior, get Leliana as archer/lock opener too. For the third, you can get another warrior, or Morrigan for some crowd control. As a rogue, get Alistair and keep speccing as a weapon and shield warrior so you can have a great tank.

    @AKisHerceg I just finished DAI solo nightmare for a mage. Thanks to your recommendations, this run was a bit easier and more interesting. Now I want to complete DA2 solo as a warrior. And I have a question: a warrior with a sword and shield, or with a two-handed weapon? Like, I saw your video where you killed Arishok in a few seconds (shield and sword). What would you advise me to choose?

    • @AKisHerceg
      @AKisHerceg  4 месяца назад +3

      I recommend sword and shield. 2h is fun too, but you will not have elemental weapons for a long time with that class. Elemental weapons are the key to dealing huge damage in DA2. The reason why the Arishok was so impressive is because unlike the 2h warrior, the W&S warrior has access to a nature based weapon(from the Emporium) which the Arishok and every qunari is weak too(they are also weak to cold). So Act 2 is much easier with the W&S warrior. In Act 3, 2h warriors can now have a cold based weapon which lets them cut through templars like butter. They also have a spirit based weapon, which kills templars/undead /darkspawn super fast(they also have a lightning based weapon for shades and other demons).
      However, W&S warriors not only have access to spirit weapons from the beginning as a dlc weapon, but they also have access to it by killing Hybris(they can also have a lightning weapon from the Mark of the Assassin dlc). So basically both can wreck stuff easily in Act 3. But in Act 1 and 2 the W&S has the advantage because of the weapons available to them.

    I'm playing and enjoying this one so far. I do find mages to be a bit of struggle to deal with as you have to get close to knock them down/stun them and by that time they've often thrown a Crushing Prison or Winter's Grasp on me. Usually Wynne/Morrigan can just spam heal me through that anyways until I'm free though but can be annoying as like Desire Demons love to spam cold spells and keep you cced indefinitely. Any tips for dealing with Mages with this build? I guess maybe I should just be swapping to Morrigan/Wynne to toss out a quick Stonefist/Winter's Grasp on them until my Warrior can close the distance? Or have Leliana snipe them with an arrow of slaying?

    • @AKisHerceg

      Early game Pinning Shot works well on them too, and even Shattering Shot can knock their annoying butt down(Leliana has both by default at level 7 so you can set her up to target mages with them the second you recruit her). Paralyze and Glyph of Paralysis are both tier 1 spells and they can paralyze them as well until you get close.

      @@AKisHerceg So I have been doing this and it definitely works well. I'm up to around level 14 now but one thing I also did was made Morrigan target enemy magic users with Winter's Grasp and Wynne target them with Stonefist. Morrigan always ends up getting her Winter's Grasp off before Wynne gets off her Stonefist which equals dead mage unless they're elite rank or higher. And if they are elite rank or higher it still ccs them and then I get close enough to bash their heads in :). Just an additional tip for anyone who found Mages annoying to deal with in Origins.

    Could you make (if you haven't already) a video on building and practicing a powerful blood mage in DA2? I'm trying to make a powerful Hawke that uses blood magic and force magic but I can't combine the two. It only becomes powerful when I ignore one of them and focus only on the other.

    • @AKisHerceg
      @AKisHerceg  8 месяцев назад +1

      I have not made a Blood-Force mage in DA2, but I know that it can be very powerful, Powerful enough to solo the game based on their spells. I would definitely focus on Blood Magic first, with some elemental or entropy spells, and later on(Act2 end) I would start advancing in Force Magic. Try to make Blood Magic work with Entropy and Arcane first.
      For example from the Arcane, you will definitely need Barrier and later you can pick up Crushing Prison. From Entropy, get Horror, Hex of Torment and Misdirection Hex. These will make early fights with dangerous elites much easier. From the Primal, get Rock Armor and some Lightning Spells(they have no friendly fire).
      For the specialization, I would get Blood Magic, Grave Robber and Hemorrhage from Blood Magic. From the Force Mage, get Unshakable, Pull of the Abyss and Gravitic Ring.
      Gravitic Ring with Hemorrhage could be insanely devastating, that is why you can't get both early on.

That way only Aveline will receive the slow, which is irrelevant, since her unique skill Immovable will slow her down anyway. It also gives her godly survivability. So basically activate Immovable, let her Taunt, and let her run ahead into the crowd. Put Barrier on her.

      I don't know if you noticed, but I think DA2 is the hardest game to micromanage companions. I mean... in the sense of being the least reliable to let your team loose completely.

      Not sure why would I do that. Warriors get Attack after STR as well, in fact they get Dmg+Attack after STR. They only get attack from DEX and nothing else unless they hold a bow or a dagger.

      @@calebfurlong Combine it with Templar or Reaver. It's much better that way. Templars can have insane magic res, Revers can have great damage boost and very fast speed.
      Berserkers have Barrage which is very good for boosting speed, and combining it with the Reaver Fervor is insane. Especially with a mage casting Haste on you, which is what I show in the video - you can do this with 2H or S&S.
      If you invest deeper into Berserker, get the talent that restores stamina after each kill. That will help keeping up your dps if your stamina gets low.
      Cleave is available for both 2H and S&S so I recommend you use that as well for massive damage boost.

    Question: Do you think it'd be alright to swap out Livid for Horn of Valor?

    • @AKisHerceg
      @AKisHerceg  9 месяцев назад +2

      You could, but there are a couple of downsides that you should consider.
      1. Livid gets you out of Knockdowns instantly. This is very important in terms of survivability.
      2. Livid gives damage reduction based on how many enemies you face up to 50%.
      HoW gives guard, some bonus damage and armor. This is no doubt decent, but it just can't compete with Livid, especially since you have so many support characters casting Barrier. Livid gives something that your support characters can't. DR and the ability to get up and keep moving in every situation.
      So In terms of the fluidity of combat I prefer Livid, but you can give HoW a try. However, if you want the best of both worlds, just get HoW as a masterwork for one of your mages! They will proc it non-stop with Energy Barrage. This way you get the damage and armor boost, and you get to keep Livid as well. :)

      If I understand it correctly, you press WW and it stops? For you to keep spinning with WW you need to hold the button, not just press it. So try pressing and holding the key that has WW tied to it. It can also be that you are running out if stamina, in which case it automatically stops, but that should happen after quite a few spins though.

I have her at level 19 there is no way to get the four spells for Death Hex and the two extra spells for Paralyze. I've been using spell books for Morrigan as well and she is so far behind in the selected spell. I was curious on if you were using mods or duplications. I haven't play DA:O in forever so I don't remember what level we usually end around. 😅

    • @AKisHerceg

      @@Dukenator96 Wynne has 15 spells at level 12. Which is when I usually get her. It's almost always the same. She has(this is on PC Ultimate Edition):
      She already has Rock Armor, Stone Fist, and Earthquake - so just one point away from Petrify.
      Heal, Rejuvenate, Regeneration, and Mass Rejuvenate by default, so I don't even have to touch that.
      She also comes with Glyph of Paralyze(next is Warding and after that she can have Repulsion so +2 spells needed here).
      She also has Heroic Offense, Heroic Aura and Heroic Defense by default. So one point away from Haste.
      And finally she has 3 point into the Spirit Healer spec, which means she has Group Heal, Revival and Lifeward.
      She also has Arcane Bolt by default of course, like every mage.
      15 spells in total, at level 12.
      I checked it and my Wynne is at level 23. Since I use dlc equipment and sell it(Reaper's Cudgel 300+gold), I have money to buy all the spell tomes for her and Morrigan as soon as I start the game(you can buy 2 at the party camp from Bodahn, make sure you buy it the first time you visit because it restocks after that, so you lose 1 tome if you don't! 1 at the Circle and 1 at the Wonder's of Thedas. If you are a mage you can get another one from the Desire Demon in the fade, but we are not mages so that is irrelevant here. Usually I give 2 to Wynne and 2 to Morrigan, but it depends on who I want to use more.
      So at level 23 my Wynne has 15(already placed)+13 spells at her disposal(2 tomes and 11 spells from level up). Which is going to be(in order of picking) Haste first(tome 1), then Petrify(tome 2), then Warding(lvl 13) and Repulsion(lvl 14). Then I get Death Hex(lvl18) which needs 4 spells so we are at 8 spells and 5 remaining. From that 2 is what I need to unlock Paralyze(lvl 20) and 3 is what I need for Curse of Mortality(lvl 23).
      If I need even more spells from her I just level her up with the party camp supplies for the allies or give her another tome. But she has more than enough spells to unlock all of those at the end without any dupes or mods.
      In fact the last 3 spells - Life Drain, Death Magic and Curse of Mortality were already throw away spells. I just put CoM in the tactics because why not, since at the end battle there are plenty of enemies who heal themselves, so screw them. :)

    Hey, i've been watching several of your videos lately and i have to say i'm always impressed by the efficiency of your builds, even the less conventional ones.
    I have a question though: in DAO/DA2 warrior/rogue builds, it looks like you never put any points into willpower. How do you deal with running out of stamina? Especially in DAO since there are no stamina draughts until awakening. Do you just dish out abilities at the start of combat and then rely on autoattacks when you're out of stamina?

      Funny that you ask this, just before I'm about to upload a DA2 video where most of my attributes were invested into WP. :)
      Well, in Origins, you have Deathblow for warriors, and Feast of the Fallen for rogues.
      Deathblow gives back stamina after each kill, and Feast of the Fallen gives back stamina after each kill with a backstab. Those two will make sure you don't have to spend on WP.
      Other than those, I get WP from Fade Fonts and equipment. Spellward gives 5(or the Dace Amulet that gives 50 stamina), Key to the City gives 2, Executioner's Helm gives 25 stamina etc.
      Investing into WP is just gonna end up netting you less damage later on.
      The only exception is DA2's Berserker. In a few minutes I will upload a video, and you will see why. :)
