Although I'm disappointed that DW is no longer possible for warriors (Raiko, my City Elf DW warrior FTW), I think the 2-handed weapon class would be better now because of the faster combat

[Icefyre45]

Warrior is pretty cool but I'll stick with the mage on my first playthough the melee combat and ripping enemies in to pieces is too much to resist.

I saw in an early dev post that sword and shield warriors and two handed warriors have comparable damage per swing when fighting one enemy. Is this still the case, or does has two handed changed to deliver more damage with each swing against a single enemy than sword and shield?

Their DPS is the same, however actual damage numbers on the weapon are different. The attack animations for Weapon and Shield are a bit faster, so their base damage is a bit lower.

If I understand this correctly, it means the main tradeoff between S&S and twohander is defense vs arc of attack width, exclusive skills notwhistanding. Is this correct? Or are there more mechanical differences to be taken into account, apart from the usability of either exclusive skill tree? Such as, are there stability bonus when wielding a shield compared to a higher Force multiplier when wielding a two-hander, etc?

I'm probably not even going to play warrior but I hope Reaver is really good now. It was pretty sad how a specialization thats gained by consuming dragon blood was so underpowered. Though I have no doubts that Berserker is going to be really intense this time around. What with the faster combat speeds.

In the last Gamespot preview I saw female Hawke using Rally, so it's a confirmed ability.

Is there more to specializations this time around? I wasn't really enthralled with taking two "specializations" that at best just gave me a couple new abilities and at worst were a minor stat boost.

There certainly seems to be.  We know each one has more than four abilities.

Without taking into account exclusive skills, the two-hander affects a larger arc and does slightly more damage on a normal basic attack (because of a slightly slower animation speed). Because the amount of damage per hit is slightly higher, that also means that enemies have a bit more chance to be affected by the force of the swing.

Weapon and shield affects a smaller arc, but the character gains the additional armor and bonuses from the shield. Since he mitigates more of the damage, he is less likely to be affected by the force of the blow.

S&S was always my favorite warrior because provided i used the right skills I could take on 15+ enemies and not get hit of course I would use warcry to get them off me at times

I have a question regarding game balance. Are the classes evenly balanced this time, or are mages worth 5 warriors and 3 rogues like in dragons age origins?

What we've heard so far is that warriors and rogues have been brought up to the mage level, and each class has areas in which it excels.

Originally it was more of a "Cooking Mama meets Doki Doki Panic" concept.

Id buy that game.

I wonder which class thread will be the longest. My bet is on Mage.



Kind of a nit picky question, does Holy Smite look more awesome now? In DA:O I was expecting my sword to shine and then see it crackdown into the ground but Holy Smite looked more like a cloud falling into the ground.

Do 2Handed warriors make fully effective tanks in DA2? Having only one warrior capable of S&S would be lame if they were the only viable tanks.

They can... if you put some ability points into the 'defender' web...as well as battlemaster( which has some of origin's champion spec skills), and of the specializations... I always thought templar was more defensive than anything...especially against mages...but your overall defense seemed really high as well.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what has been done with the Reaver spec.

Looking at a screen shot of the tree should show at least one pretty important difference.

Providing I can find said screen shot.

[Augoeides]

Ah I see, and the multitude of of various passive buffs to elemental attacks suggests a more magical or elemental variety of attacks. Unless those are there just help out with the Elemental Weapons buff of the mages.

If I play a warrior, I'm glad I have berserker back...



It'll be weird having no DW power....
