Hi Everyone,

I just started a duel wield warrior and at level 8 he is dispatching enemies very quickly.  Has anyone taken a DW Warrior all the way through? I am pumpin stength, dex and constitution.  Anyone have any suggestions/advice who has done this before?

Thanks!

[hexaligned]

Stop pumping constitution, would be my advise.

[Zy-El]

Strength, Dexterity and dual swords!

[Neo_Excelsior]

Should I stop pumping Const because of high Dex?

[soteria]

Well, mostly because it sucks. It's just a very low return on investment compared to what other stats give you, and it's easy to get health on gear if you want it. But in terms of protection, dexterity is superior to constitution because it provides 1 defense per point and can eventually make you mostly unhittable.



To answer the question in your OP, though, no, I don't think anyone has ever played a DW warrior all the way through. You would be the first! Let us know how it turns out.

And the needle on the Snark-o-meter has been pegged.

I am currently playing Awakening as a Dualwield warrior after finishing Origins at lvl23, and he truly owns everything he comes close to including bosses.

I have ignored Constitution, because I have a tank for the harder stuff (Alistair/Shale i DA:O and Justice in DA:A), other than that I have pumped Dexterity high enough that I can get all the DW talents, and dumped the rest into strength.
A small modification to this is that in DA:A I raised my Willpower to 20 for bit more stamnia, but that wasn't necessary in DA:O, and in DA:O I raised my Cunning to 16 so I could take full level of Coercion. Rest got dumped into strength.

Yeah man as others have said have enough DEX to get your talents and go STR from there.

[Carol L S]

Same here.  I have enjoyed my DW warrior all the way through Origins and he is kicking booty in Awakening!  Templar/Champion/Guardian btw.

[Master Shiori]

You want enough dexterity to be able to take all duel-wield talents, cun 16 to take all 4 ranks of coercion, and dump the rest of your points into strength.



Only put points into willpower if you find yourself running out of stamina too quickly and ignore constitution at all time.

[Kastlefeer]

You can also take enough str for your armor of choice then pump dex and use daggers for a high defence build

Kallian here (<---) is a DW/Archer Warrior, and slaughters just about everything in the game. She is level 34 by this point though. DW Warrior is personally my favourite build to play, but that's just me. I use dual-swords with the Max STR build. I find the main problem with DW warriors is that they lack immunity to knockdown (unlike 2H and SnS builds). They're amazing at gathering aggro - though by the time you've drawn it away the enemies are probably all dead. They wade through enemies like nobody's business.

I'm sorry but you are wrong I played a dw warrior all the way through origins AND awakening and he kicks ass.
to the OP just forget CON and get your dex up to 36 (including fade bonus) grab dual longswords and put everything else in str.

I know that´s not the case, but if it were true I would understand it. I stopped playing my DW warrior on level 11 because it was too easy. Just activate momentum and watch even the strongest opponents fall within short time and without the slightest chance to win.

Revenants for example were easier to beat on Level 10 than they were for my level 18 AW the playthrough before.

and since you stopped at lvl 12 you didn't even saw the true potential as you can use 2 fullsize weapons come lvl 12 by getting dw mastery

[Unrefined-Nemesis]

Ignore con, if you need more get lifegiver from ozzammar.



get basic dex for skills, 36 for Origins, 50 for Awakening (if you plan on getting unending flurry but i found the skill pointless), Maximise on STR all the way. Get reaver as one of your 2/3 specs for free heals. Complete the 3rd row talent first because AOE>Single target skills not forgetting to mention Momentum =D.

[Tirigon]

Momentum is avaulable at Lv 4 or 5 if you play right. Makes the game boring even faster ;-)

Technically level 3, and yes it makes the early game rather easy.

Than I guess that's my claim to fame. Well..... "fame". I picked up a second weapon the first chance I got and kept pumping Const, Dex and Strength and was pretty much golden by the end of the game. Plus you look like a pretty big badass, and if you transfer the character to Awakening (if you want to of course, it's not a stelar expansion) you'll be able to clear out whole rooms while remaining virtually unharmed.

Oh,  and i don't know about the others, but  i never used heavy or massive armor in this char, only medium .

While light or medium armor makes sense from a realism and RP perspective you can wear heavy or even massive without any disadvantages. Unlike with archery, heavier armor doesn´t hinder your combat-abilities at all.

[Eudaemonium]

I tended to wear Heavy armour on my DW Warrior, but that is largely because I burn through stamina quickly, and used the Superior Dragonscale + Evon the Great's Mail combo for minus fatigue and stamina regen. Also since I 'multi-tree'd' as an archer, with Master Archer I didn't get the speed reduction. It allowed easy-switching. I prefer the way medium and heavy armour appears on female models, though I can't quite work out why the breasts become so low on heavy chainmail.

Really?  How'd you kill the Fade Beast with DW?  The damage output is just so low I don't believe you could survive a long enough before he kills you with crushing prison.  Maybe this is true if you play on casual, but definitely not on nightmare.  DW is just such a slow, boring way to play... low damage, and you're always on your rear from knockdowns.  All I can say is screenshots or it didn't happen.

[lazorexplosion]

I say go templar/beserker pump enough strength to wear knight commander's plate and put everything else in dexterity and dual wield daggers for fast, strong attacks, excellent defense and tons of spell resistance. Extremely powerful character.

So I am not sure if this is supposed to be sarcasm or if you actually believe what you say (I´m sorry for you in that case:P)...........

Anyways this is SO NOT true. DW has by far the highest damage output. I mean - AoE-attacks for 150 - 200 damage?! Punisher with about 300 damage?! Crits for about 100?! Dual Striking, what results in having more damage per hit than with a twohander?!

And all that was in Origins................. In Awakening you´re even stronger.....
