In Origins, your mage could be an Arcane Warrior.
There is no such specialization in DA2.

I don't mind speeding up weapon swings but overall combat looks just a bit too fast to me.

No but the video shows that one can quite easily be created manually with those staff melee attacks, which is probably 1 reason why they got rid of the spec.

Right. And it's just one more reason-suspending moment for me.
Mages fighting like warriors? Why? Pretty much making warriors a useless class.

They were useless in Origins too. :innocent: I'm sure the dmg and hit rate for mages is low. But why shouldn't mages fight with melee weapons? You're saying because a person can cast spells, there's some physical impediment to them being able to swing a sword or staff?TJPags wrote...

I am sorry but how does that make warriors useless? The Mage was hitting pretty weak and killed most of the enemys by spells. Plus how the mage played in Origins was really boring since you had to stay out of the fighting and shot little blue balls that did nearly no damage and killed everything with a powerful spell.TJPags wrote...

Cursing itself doesn't bother me, it just sounds so out of place with what I've come to expect and sort of seems like it might be used as a cheap way of making the game "darker".Blessed Silence wrote...
Akward in what way?
For me it was sort of wierd since I just popped into the beginning of the video. But cursing doesn't bother me anymore really.
Right, and it makes no logical sense that you have a big stick in your hands and if an enemy gets too close you wouldn't bash him with it.marshalleck wrote...
Please. I'd be really surprised if mages can do as much melee damage as a warrior in DA2. Calm your fragile nerves.
Or maybe it would better to wait until we seen some comparable Warrior combat footage before you declare them obsolete....TJPags wrote...

If i remember the dev answers thread right, it's just replaced animation for the default auto-attack with the staff as it was in DAO -- it makes it appear like the mage is hitting things with it instead of shooting projectiles if the target happens to be close enough to warrant/allow that. But the damage generated this way is just on the auto-attack level and as such not really different from DAO where you could have your mage shoot things at point blank, too. All that's changed is the visuals.TJPags wrote...

My dual wield Cousland would beg to differ.
But, to your point - yes, they can swing a sword or staff. Do it well? Handle it the way that mage in the video was? No, not IMO. There's a reason that there is - or was, I guess - a class distinction in games like this. Because the class focuses on the things that make the class unique.
Warriors fight. Rogues sneak, even in fighting. Mages cast spells. AW warrior was already blurring that distinction. With the new ninja rogues, and now staff wielding warrior mages, the distinction is beyond blurred, it's becoming obliterated. There seems no reason for a warrior, except to use it as a tank.
