Basically, as long as you are very close (phased inside of or right next to) to an enemy when Fade Cloak expires, you deal 1000% weapon damage and juggle them (toss them into the air) into a stagger. Knight-Enchanter: Decloaking Blast – Turns an already powerful spell (Fade Cloak) into great CC and damage. Against enemies who cannot be staggered, this is how you counter their slow, big damage, telegraphed attacks. If you find yourself in a bad situation, this is what you use.
Activating it purges all negative status effects, including being knocked down. Enemies will stop trying to attack you and nothing will be able to deal damage to you while it is active. Knight-Enchanter: Fade Cloak – Very powerful spell, probably the most powerful you have. When everything else is on cooldown or you are nearly out of mana, this is your go-to spell. This is basically the filler between everything you do, that keeps your barrier maxed out and keeps the damage piling up. Deals good damage, hits a fairly wide swath of targets, deals spirit damage (the least resisted of all damage types), has no cooldown and costs very little to cast. Knight-Enchanter: Spirit Blade – The most frequently used skill in your repertoire. Takes some practice to get used to when to use it and where to place it, but once you get the hang of the ‘arming time’, it is invaluable for staggering enemies and dealing huge damage. Huge damage is used to power Barrier generation, down ranged enemies with ease and in combination with Chaotic Focus, leads to the biggest numbers the build will generate. Inferno: Fire Mine – One of, if not the best skill for a KE. Inferno: Pyromancer – Necessary skill to advance the Inferno tree, doesn’t help much in terms of damage output as the enhanced burning duration is generally unnecessary. Inferno: Flashpoint – Necessary skill to advance the Inferno tree, mostly helpful earlier on to get back-to-back Fire Mines or Barriers. Pretty low down the priority tree in terms of spells you want to cast, but it serves a purpose. good spell to spam, especially on fast moving targets. Average damage, long range, good cast time. Inferno: Immolate – Start of Inferno tree for us, one of our most commonly used damage spells. You might need to pick up Barrier early on, since you have very poor defense and proper use of Flashpoint procs will allow you to keep barriers up nearly all of the time you need them. Getting experience with proper placement of Fire Mine and understanding how enemies move and learning to predict their movement is key in the long term to ensuring proper use of the skill. Starting the game off by going directly down the fire tree towards Fire Mine is generally a good idea. You don’t have access to the tools you need to play the game like a KE, but you do have access to some of the skills you’ll be using a lot over the course of the game.
You repeat this process with each group of enemies, utilizing Fade Step to move quickly between groups and Inferno spells to handle single stragglers as you move around the battlefield.īefore you actually unlock Specializations, you are a basic mage. The goal of mostly every fight is to generate some initial barrier, use that barrier to power Fire Mine and Immolate via Chaotic Focus, stagger enemies with Fade Shield to ensure they remain in place as the Fire Mine arms and then clean up with Spirit Blade after all the pending damage has resolved.
While it is not entirely necessary to be in melee range to kill your enemies, it is more efficient for generating your initial barrier and starting a fight by staggering one or more enemies with Fade Shield and following up with a Fire Mine to max out your barrier bar. Gameplay in general can be broken down into two phases: 1) Moving into melee range, 2) Destroying your enemies.
This guide is meant to help you progress through the levels and prioritize how you move down the various Mage skill trees, giving you an understanding of why you are making particular skill pickups and how you can expect to utilize them. The one major aspect of gearing and focus that makes this specialization and build stand out is that you can quite literally dump all of your eggs into the Offense basket, and still come out on top due to the nature of how damage mitigation skills are implemented. Due to strong synergy between skill trees, the KE is able to focus all of its efforts towards offensive potential, and maintain a strong defense as a result of powerful skills. The Knight-Enchanter (KE) specialization enables the mage class to take a very brazen approach to combat. Dragon Age Inquisition Knight Enchanter Guide by T0rin
