Jacoblh Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 So I am considering starting a solo mage nightmare run, having only played in parties thus far. Stuff: - I will take the Arcane Warrior specialization exclusively for Shimmering Shield.- I will go Blood Mage for Blood Wound.- I have all the DLC and intend of selling the Reaper's Cudgel early on to gain some gold.- I will be making everything myself (traps, poisons, potions).- I have a general idea on what powers to take. My main concern is regards to equipment. I intend to get the Lifegiver, but besides that what is considered "must have" equipment? What is the best route through the quests? Any tips and tricks? (No mods and no exploits). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkeWolf Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 The winter forge- http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=122so that you can modify your gear there in the game to suit the situation ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sync182 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) The winter forge- http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=122so that you can modify your gear there in the game to suit the situation ;) Yup...I'd use that, too. However, I think the OP intends to do a vanilla (OP did say "no mods or exploits") solo nightmare run...

Not to say you don't need any gear, but just grab the tanky stuff you cross. Your going to want to make yourself a wall. Grab enough willpower to keep your sustained abilities up, and hack away at things. To be honest, settle yourself in - it'll get a little long and boring. The beginning is harder than the middle/end - but, also more fun imo. You actually get to use your mage spells. Even then, it's kinda boring. (IE Tower Ogre ... Winters Grasp, run, run, run, WG, run, run, run) By the time you have some gear and are going the Arcane way - you'll find yourself ramping up your sustained abilities, and auto hitting everything down. Certainly do-able, but, not exciting at all. Proceed with caution, this route was by far the least fun I had in this awesome game :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
