#Dragon age origins mage build Patch#

If you only want to include one Mage in your party, then this is the build we recommend using. If you want to create a defensive mage, here are the spells we recommend using in order of importance: If you bolster this spell with Life Ward, you can even boost your friends' defenses, and revive them automatically if they fall in battle. Should a team member die in battle, use this to bring them back to life fast. This is the game's core resurrection spell. Just have a meaty Warrior ready to taunt up the approaching danger. It will paralyse any opponents it touches, giving you the chance to inflict at least one more offensive spell against them before they can catch up to you. Lightning Bolt is a fantastic spell when it comes to dealing with packs of enemies. Effect Duration: 2 seconds per nearby enemy.If you're up against an opponent who's immune to the elements of your weapon of choice, however, you should switch over to Flashfire - assuming fire immunity isn't the issue! As well as the 300 per cent of damage, this spell also imbues the target with Fear, which seriously reduces the combat effectiveness of the enemy for the spell's duration. It's an extremely important tool in the Mage's offensive arsenal, but do make sure your enemy isn't immune to the elemental damage in question.Д®nergy Barrage will likely be your most useful offensive spell when it comes to dealing with single targets. It fires out a total of 12 elemental projectiles, inflicting 792 per cent of your weapon's damage in total. This spell is based on whatever elemental flavour your current weapon possesses. Damage: 66 per cent of weapon damager per hit.Do this often enough and you can skip a whole wave of enemies, and get that rift shut down even faster.

Throw Dispel on this patch to prevent the demons from appearing and fighting your team. When closing rifts, you'll notice green cracks on the floor after defeating the first wave of enemies. You can also use it to remove any defensive spells put into play by your enemies. Use this to remove any debilitating magical effects cast against your party members. This is a very powerful way to start any multiple-target fight, and should be used immediately after casting Barrier. Expect this lightning strike to shock your main target while also damaging any foes nearby. This will not only cause the spell to affect more targets, it will also increase its range. While every Mage will possess the Chain Lightning skill, you'll have to supplement it with Arcing Surge yourself - and we strongly recommend that you do so. Number of targets: 4 (6 with Arcing Surge).Distance: 5 metres (9 with Arcing Surge).If you want to cheese your way through a particularly tricky fight, consider playing a taunting Warrior with three Mages - if each Mage throws out a Barrier spell one at a time, you'll have a near permanent protective shield in play. Combined with Elegant Defense, this spell is now your most potent - and important - defensive ability in the game. In longer fights you could be casting this three or four times, giving you a glorious 16 second cooldown as you approach the fourth application.ДЄs for Rejuvenating Barrier, this will boost the mana and stamina regeneration of each team member affected by the spell by 35 per cent. The latter will reduce the cooldown of the spell by four seconds each time an earlier application expires. We recommend enhancing this skill with Rejuvenating Barrier and Elegant Defense as you level up. As long as your party members aren't too far outside of the visible perimeter, they'll receive the benefit of the cast. Note, however, that the casting circle is not the precise range of effect - imagine it stretching around 25% further and you'll have the right idea. This powerful buffing ability provides every party member in range with a healthy amount of armour. Barrier: 5,500 per cent of weapon damage.Watch on YouTube Mage spells and skills guide
