Inquisitor Skills

[steveK]

I am a level 13 Mage loving this game.
Just got the first Inquisitor Skill and now wondering which of my skills I should upgrade.
Should I now forget about upgrading the normal skills and concentrate on the Inquisitor skills ?
What level or after which part of the game will I need to decide on my specialty ?
Just arrived in Skyhold.

By "Inquisitor Skill" I presume you mean the one you get while on the Long Walk from Haven to Skyhold, in the catacombs under Haven during the encounter with the five [REDACTED].

Truthfully it isn't worth upgrading in the skill tree, where there's only the one upgrade. There will be "upgrades" available in the Perks, but that's a whole separate thing. And personally I almost never use it, except on very rare occasions where I face a seemingly unvanquishable boss-fight and nothing else seems to work.

Specialists will IIRC become available via a War Table mission the first time you return to Skyhold after travelling to another area. Each basic class (Mage, Rogue, Warrior) has three possible specializations, corresponding to the unique specialization trees of your companions.

The companion specialization trees become available--again--after you take them out for the first time after reaching Skyhold. I think they have to be on reasonably friendly terms with you, but unless you're deliberately antagonizing them this shouldn't be an issue. So you can try them out by switching to a companion during a fight.

For you, the specializations will require you to craft a McGuffin in a fetch-quest that each specialist will assign to you. Talk to each of the three specialists, and you can't miss out on getting their quest. Each McGuffin requires three items:

1. A book you can find near where the corresponding companion hangs out if you've recruited them, or available from the Schematics Merchant in Val Royeaux otherwise. When you visit him for the first time after reaching Skyhold, there will be a second merchant near the door who sells these tomes, some other bits of lore you will have missed, and some schematics for various Tonics.

2. Some crafting material that is reasonably easy to harvest.

3. (The hard one) Three identical items that you can only get randomly from enemy drops. The description of the specialization will suggest places you can find the right enemies though. And later in the game you may be able to obtain them from merchants, though this requires a Perk and is also kinda random...save-scumming may be involved.

This is where i started:

After you play for a while, you will learn to make adjustements based on ur play style, bu the link is a good place to start.

Regarding "Specialization"...

When and even IF you add inquisitor specialization skills completely depends on your playstyle - i have played with no specializations and with most specializations.

My favorite Mage Specialization Build is the Rift Mage build - complete range-based character - good defense - very good crowd control - good damage
