There are 3 options for a Sword/Shield Arcane Warrior:

- Spellweaver + Fade Wall/Duncan's Shield = +2.0 mana regen
- Duncan's Sword + Random Shield = + 2.0 mana regen
- Maric's Blade + Cailan's Shield = + 5.75 mana regen (No, this is not a typo.)

The cailan/maric set is insane! They're available in Dragonbone, so that's even more awesome

Btw, DEX is not necessary. Miasma is!

Does that work for a AW?  I thought those bonuses were stamina regeneration, not mana.  IDN.

How do you upgrade Maric's/Cailan's?  The chest or do you have to sell it to soldier keep vendor? (I forget his name)

I can't seem to get Duncan's Sword to upgrade past red steel in the chest.  It's a shame.

Stamina and Mana are interchangeable on gear. Regen/Drain are per 2 seconds. Yes, this means Andruil's belt simply wastes a line of text, as it gives +2 mana or stamina regen instead of +1 to either.

That's good to know, I didn't think stamina regeneration worked for Mages.

A conclusive update on Melee: Two Handed
Weapons, Sword and Shield Weapons, and Dual-Wielding
Please note as
this is an arcane warrior, there are no uses of talents. Also for more understanding, I'll require someone to tell me how to post screenshots.

With Dual Wiedling Weapons, With haste on both Wynne and Morrigan and Combat Magic on Hero:
the Damage is 42.6/40.4 (Maric's Blade/Starfang Longsword)
In addition to this, Flaming Weapons Sustained Spell is active, granting a bonus of around 15 damange per strike of weapon. Each Weapon is enchanted with three Grandmaster Fire Runes(+5 Fire Dmg for each rune)= +15 for each wep.
Therefore, the total damage calculated is as follows:

42.6(Starfang)+40.4(Marics)+30(Grandmaster Runes)+15(Flaming Weapons)
==127.6

Now onto Two-Handers
Total Damage Shown for Starfang Greatsword is 124.6,(with Double Haste, etc, etc)
Now add on three Grandmaster Runes and Flaming Weapons: 124.6+ 15+15
==154.6

Here is seems to be proven that Twohanders do consistently more damage  than other weapons on the Arcane Warrior.
However, I'd probably say that Dual-Wield is best on a rogue, where backstabs are common place. But in terms of pure damage, the massive behemoth of a Maul, Greatsword or Battleaxe seems to prevail.

I saved at the Start of the Ruined Temple, used dual-wield went through to mountain. % party dmg stayed same.
Reloaded, equipped Twohander, went thorugh again, percentage jumped from 28 to 36%.

Maker! This is a bombshell ! Starfang Longsword + Greagoir's Shield == 164 DMG + Flaming Weapons.
Who woulda' thought that a longsword would do more damage than a greatsword.

weapon? What ever you want.

Best gear for AW is defensive spells and blood magic. you wont get his at all and can use your blood/health to slaughter darkspawn so armor/shield are really moot except for stat boosters.

It used to be 'whatever you want' in early version where shimmering shield didnt shut down,
but in any later version where shimmering shield shut down at zero mana,
there is only one weapon: Cailens arms, +5 mana regeneration

Hey guys, this thread's three years old. I don't think the person who asked is about to come and check.

I know. But there are some people who are new to AW or Dragon age completely, or those who are lookingto maximize their own as they began replaying the series.

Also about regen, you have a butt load of options on consoles. So for those who are new or are going through Origins and Awakening again, do not listen to anyone that tells you to use Cailan's arms.

It is pretty inconvenient guzzling a lyrium potion in the middle of a fight not so you can cast spells, but so that you don't become completely useless in a fight.
