Further, and unlike most AoE spells, it hits multiple enemies without damage to the party members. It does a lot of damage and can paralyze any enemy who doesn’t make the physical resistance check. This is where her Blood Wound spell really shines and can turn the tide of the battle. Since Blood Mage draws on health to power spells instead of mana, your first aim should be to end the battle quickly before Morrigan’s health drops too low to sustain her spells. However, used correctly as part of this build, Shapeshifting will get your Blood Mage back to casting blood spells. A mage focused on Creation can mete out some tremendous DPS in the bear or spider form. A mage focused on Primal spells will have an effective means for dealing with aggro. Shapeshifting can never excel at any of these functions, so it’s most effective when it complements a focused mage playstyle.Īfter any generalized mage uses all her mana, she can shapeshift to create another tank. Mages serve three prime functions: obliterate, disable, support.


Shapeshifting gets a bad rap, but that’s mostly because players don’t understand how to use it.


This Shapeshifting Blood Mage build allows Morrigan to cast A0E spells, rack up Blood Mage DPS, and then transform to Flying Swam to continue the damage and regain enough health to get back to being a Blood Mage. But if you choose one of the other mage specializations, warrior, or rogue, Morrigan can be an amazingly effective 2nd DPS party member. If you intend to play your Circle or Dalish mage as a Blood Mage, Morrigan might be best as AoE (area of effect) elemental support or a spirit healer. Creating the best Morrigan Build in DAO depends on your choice of character class and playstyle.
