Enormous archer enemies damage.

Okey, hello everyone. After buying GOTY on New Year (and a couple of other games in Origin) i was enjoying my DA:I. 'Till i reached lvl 20+. I saw some major bugs, my char was stuck in textures many times, i was unable to fast-travel (in famous JoH island quest, as many before me did according to this forum). Playing on Nightmare with most trials on (except healing potions one. Im not a true masochist, i just pretend to be the one :D)

*Weeell we all saw this "BUT" coming*

BUT

Do all archer enemies do so REDICULOUS amount of damage? See screenshot. And that wasnt the biggest shot. Like, wasnt AT ALL. My BW has ~30% ranged defence (rest in melee, ~40%) and he got oneshotted every time i dont control only one(!) archer in enemy team. He has 1200 HP and... Guess how much last time he got right in his face? 4.5k damage. He got double guard (from sigil) and he was ripped apart from some really random mob. Not even a power-attacked. Just normal shot. I replayed this spot again and again (on the same island on JoH), saw Inquisitor got 5-6k damage. Saw a Dorian got 7400 damage. I think his first time with a man wasnt so painful, if you know what i mean :D

I mean... Is that supposed to be so? I switched off all trials, realoaded and SURPRISE MAZAF**A nothing changed! =) I managed to finish this spot only 'cuz of mere luck - after another (and another (and another (and another))) reload mobs just stuck. After i killed nearly all archers there (i think... 5\7) the last two melted my party so only inquisitor in invisibility got left. Somehow i managed to solo all other mobs.

All other enemies are tweaked pretty well. Except enormous mages' shields with  Walk Softly trial, but they at least can be over-damaged with some ranged shot or smth.

UPD

Posted some new screens. No Trials on. Dorian got 16.395(!) damage in two seconds. From only one archer. Not flanking damage, i was standing specially facing the archer just for that. Level 22.

  • No idea what would cause this. I know there are some items that carry the 'berserk stat', which greatly increases the damage you take, but you already looked at your defensive stats and it only happens in the one place, so that can't be it.

    Have you tried leaving the Frostback Basin and then going back?

    No, i do not use that items ofcourse =) Beserk is a masterwork material, no MM stands any chance vs 5xHidden Blades on hit. Nor that im using any similiar items like that funny healing amulet. But that was some offtopic, sorry.

    Yes, i tried to reload, tried to do to other locations and enter FB again, tried many things. Thus i'd already finished this location, i now think that that was just a bug of damage amplification of one enemy type. Sort of. Maybe that was infinite buff from Walk Softly trial that stayed even with it turned off, maybe some other stuff. Archers in vanilla game are managable.

    So, shall i manage it in bug forums? And are there any? :D
