Re: Archer dps
What's the "best light5 armour" in the game? Is it something that you get from a certain battle in the Urns quest that you bring to Denerim for someone else to work on (trying not to spoil here).

Re: Archer dps
By "best light armour" I mean any tier 7 (Drakeskin) armour whether plain or with magical properties, they all require 20 strength to equip

Your build is a bit different than what I read from gamefaqs guide. Str - 20 Dex - High Willpower - 20 Cunning - Moderate Thus on every level up I've been putting 2dex/1cun. Quote:
I'll definitely swap Leliana for Morrigan on my 2nd run though. |

I also used Alistair this time as a dex based tank (reel them in then avoid being hit, rather than reel them in and be able to withstand large amounts of damage) on this playthrough, and he died a lot less frequently than on previous games when I've specced him out as a more traditional constitution based meat shield. I didn't take his constitution above 18, he was more vulnerable early game, but mid to late game, nothing could hit him to cause any damage. It's taken me a while to get used to this as opposed to the old BG/NWN style builds, but I've come to the conclusion that you want cunning based rogues, dex based tanks, and strength based dps warriors. And for mages, just chug everything into magic, you only need willpower of 20 (or 25 at the very most to keep some in reserve for healing spells) if your first couple of spells dish out enough damage due to extremely high spellpower, just have a few lyrium potions on hand if you need to follow through with another high powered spell. It's been a steep learning curve but I think I'm finally getting to grips with it! Edit to add: I use the Advanced Party mod, which means when you get companions they don't have attribute/skill/talent points spent, you get to build them however you wish - it's great and I highly recommend it.
