Oct 06, 2017 Origins Rogue Archer Build. Mass Effect Trilogy, Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2. Morrigan heavily spec'ed into shapeshifter. In Dragon Age Legends, Morrigan appears as a companion if the player unlocks 'Morrigan Room' (requires two expansion rooms) and places it in their castle. Morrigan's dress in Dragon Age: Inquisition's quest Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts appears very similar to the clothes Leliana wanted to dress Morrigan in from Dragon Age: Origins ambient.

Click to expand.Agreed. I primarily use Leli for the sake of picking locks and disarming traps. She's okay when she has a bow like Marjolaine's Recurve, but before then she's pretty useless. I usually give her Duelist as the second spec to aid her defense. If I'm playing as an archer myself I'll be a duelist/assassin combination. Sometimes I like using the ranger spec because the wolf can keep enemies at a distance, but much like the downside to the shapeshifter, the time to activate and the cooldown times are painful. Bard is a totally useless specialisation.

Click to expand.I disagree. I always left her as an archer. She's halfway home on that tree already by the time you get her. You can't get any of the really good stuff for DW until you're over halfway through the game with her as a result. By then she can already have Arrow of Slaying and Scattershot(stuns crowds). If you turn on Rapid Shot she attacks way faster than you can too. Unless you're a DW rogue w/ Momentum active or the same archer build of course.

I'm not saying it's bad to go DW with her mind you, but rather that leaving her as an archer is quite effective as well. I leave her as an archer, and I level her lockpicking/trap disarming all the way, Ranger all the way, and Bard to level 3. I have her sing her Song of Courage all the time & summon animals(bear is my fav) for the big fights. Also, I go with Rapid Shot in long fights as well. Forget those crits.in a long fight the extra arrows fired well exceeds any crits you might get without it. Don't forget those specialty arrows(fire, ice, etc.) either.

Rapid Shot + Ice Arrows = tons of damage against that High Dragon while she concentrates on battling your melee characters, which includes a great bear for me. I actually made a Warden archer once. It worked well, but it bored the mother loving hell outta me to play that style lol. I quit at level 15.

Couldn't take it anymore, but the style itself was effective. Just boring to play is all. Click to expand.I've also effectively used Leliana as an archer and typically go Ranger/Bard for the extra melee attacker. Plus Scattershot and Arrow of Slaying are extermely useful But I agree that playing as an archer is incredibly boring. I don't think I even got as far as did before quitting out of boredom.

As far as Morrigan goes, the only time I can see the Shapeshifter being useful is early in the game (Lothering) if you need a melee attacker instead of a nuker. This really only applies if the Warden is a Mage or archer. The only pure mage spec I liked in Origins was SH as well. I can see AW is a bit more effective at higher difficulties where it's a little safer to use buffs instead of spells that can cause Friendly fire so to speak. The BM spec can be very effective given the right setup and has one spell that can deal massive damage. You don't need that many points to make DW rogues good.

Momentum and its prerequisites are all that you need, so those few 'wasted' points that Leliana has in Archery aren't much of a loss. You need quite a large amount of attack in order to make ranged combat useful which you just don't have yet. Love Cut Songs In Tamil Movies Free Download more.

Constant backstabs trump anything bows can offer at that point in the game. Eventually, Archery becomes good because you've gained enough dex and a good boss-drop weapon, but I've already said that Archery is at its best in the late game. That also happens to be the time when the dragon fights start to show up, so it all works out.

Click to expand.Useless isn't the word I'd use to describe it, it's just that backstabs are so much better at that point. Even without a single point in DW abilities, Leliana would perform better with dual weapons.

Even my own archer started out with knives instead of a bow. Archery abilities just have too long of a wind up and at that point they just aren't very good. In that same amount of time, I could just backstab everything down.

Once the dex starts flowing and you get Master Archer which unlocks the second effect on all your other bow abilities, Archery becomes both fun and effective. You don't need that many points to make DW rogues good. Momentum and its prerequisites are all that you need, so those few 'wasted' points that Leliana has in Archery aren't much of a loss.

EVERYTHING is at it's best late in the game silly lol. I believe you start with like 4-5 talents in the Archery tree with her. You can have Master Archer, or any other skill in the tree you like, as soon as you hit the level req. You can also get your hands on Marjolaine's Recurve very early if you like as it's quite easy to trigger her quest early.

That's the best bow in the game for Leliana the way I roll with her. So you don't need that many points to get those archery skills either is what I'm saying, and you can get the best weapon for her personally equally as fast. Regardless of that, I simply don't use/need her for 'damage' anyway. That's what my warriors & mages are for in my style of play. She's in there for support & lockpicking/trap disarming. Mostly the latter quite frankly cause I'm OCD on that kind of stuff.

So if I'm not a rogue, then Leliana's in there for me to handle that stuff. I don't need anything else outta though her as I play on Normal difficulty. I recently began playing Dragon Age Origins again, probably because this thread peaked my interest, and im nearing the end of my most recent playthrough, i decided im going to play as a mage for my next one and ill probably take care of the typical mage responsibilities, so ill be free to have Morrigan just do whatever, in this case shapeshifting. Now im wondering, since ive never actually been able to get it to work, just what exactly would you have to do to get shapeshifting to be, not exactly 'good', but at least passable? Honestly i really have no idea. The last time i tried planning for it i went with blood mage and shapeshifter with the impression that i could use the blood as mana active along with the bug swarm thing which replenishes health and it would be unstoppable, well it turns out that doesn't work so i've got nothin. Bah, shapeshifter is pretty much useless on Morrigan (or useless at all really).

I prefered to max her entropy and ice part of primal skill tree. Blood mage as 2nd specialization. This high CC and high damage combo is BRUTAL, but that leaves her as fragile as a butterfly. And that's where shapeshifter lacks in my opinion. I hoped that shifting into let's say bear would make you insanely tanky and deal lots of melee damage. But no, you're still squishy as heck, plus the cast timers. Yeah it was pretty useless in my play style (hard difficulty by the way) As for Leliana, she was a must bring unless I was a rouge myself.

I did not use her for archery at all, because last bard skill (captivating song I think) is so damn useful. Autoturn Serial Keygen. I mean anyone that gets close to her gets stunned every few seconds, and that makes them easy prey for the rest of team.

So yeah, even though she had a bow equipped, she rarely used it, cuz she only sang aaaand robbed people and picked locks (unless I was a rogue, slim couldry FTW!).
