These character guides aim to give you a rough idea of how you can build each character, playing to their strengths and giving them a robust set of options in combat, hopefully making your time playing through the game more fun.
- No, you can only use 8 active skills at a time. You could keep a couple of extras, and swap them around between battles, but I would not recommend it. As you say, I'd recommend a respec and focus your skills a little more. I often found that going for 1 tree mainly, along with a secondary and the specialization worked the best.
- Dragon Age: Dragon Age: Inquisition: MORE HOTKEYS!!!!! Dont offer more abilities then there are slots for them, then add insult to injury by saying the gamer.
- Amulet – Dragon Age Inquisition Best Mage Equipment. For your Mage’s Amulet slot when it comes to Dragon Age Inquisition best Mage equipment, you want Andraste’s Sacrifice, which decreases cooldowns by 10% and increases mana regen. It also taunts all enemies around the Mage from time to time, but you can just ignore that.
Crafting Masterwork gear in Dragon Age: Inquisition will provide you with some of the best weapons and armor in the game. Believe it or not, the best items in the game aren’t those acquired.
