cw8: Yeah, I was 20 minutes into the Ancient Rock Wraith fight on Nightmare last Sunday when the game CTD at 50% of his hp.
Cross class combos to kill off the Assassin real quicky. Shield Bash-> Assassin Staggered->Imp Crushing Prison->DPS all you can->before Crushing Prison goes off, cast Horror->Nuke->Paralyse->DPS->Assassin dies.
Heh, biggest flaw with that advice is I don't have those spells. But I do understand the gist of it (i.e. use combos). I'm only level 8 right now though, so maybe I should wait a level or two, but I stubborn. I'll get that bastard! Cross class combos to kill off the Assassin real quicky. Shield Bash-> Assassin Staggered->Imp Crushing Prison->DPS all you can->before Crushing Prison goes off, cast Horror->Nuke->Paralyse->DPS->Assassin dies.
I must admit this concerns me. I'm really not too bothered for the most part about having areas recycled sometimes, but from what I've been reading they way overdid it in DA2. Coupled with the 'let's throw several waves of attackers at the player - that'll surprise him!' design of the encounters and I have a feeling I'm not going to see a whole lot of replayability in this one.
