Heartseeker

Dragon Age Origins Blog heartseeker Rogue Skills and TalentsType: Activated
Range: Personal
Activation: 94
Cooldown: 30s

The rogue strikes with great precision, attempting to fell weakened enemies in one last blow. If the attack is successful, a target of elite rank or lower is killed instantly if its health is already low enough. If the attack does not kill, it inflicts a critical hit instead.

While this mode is active, the shadow flits in and out of concealment. Because enemies cannot concentrate on the character, each hit reduces their interest in the attacker. This mode consumes stamina continuously.

Unending Flurry

Dragon Age Origins Blog unending Rogue Skills and TalentsType: Sustained
Range: Personal
Upkeep: 0
Fatigue: 0%
Cooldown: 60s

The character singles out an enemy for death, stabbing it quickly and repeatedly, consuming a small amount of stamina with each hit. The assault continues until the target dies or flees, or until the character misses or runs out of stamina. If the target is bleeding from Twin Strikes, each swing becomes a critical hit. If the target is slowed by Low Blow, the character cannot miss.

    'Unending Flurry' looks a bit pants. The chap looks like he is skiing.

    I agree – that could have been the coolest looking martial skill ever and instead they modeled some guy on a Nordic rider. Have these guys ever actually SEEN someone dual-wield? Someone please hire R.A. Salvatore to design the animations next time.

    The day they hire R.A.Salvatore, on of the most overrated writers this side of Twilight, is the day I quit.

    seriously? nobody writes the gory details and dynamics of sword fighting as well as this guy. the rest of what he does is questionable, but making combat cool is what he does best.
