Sabre, wouldn't you consider the possibility of using aveline as a "big boy" tank, pumping her constitution and leaving to her lieutenants and, obviously less frequently bosses, while making use of the Vanguard's impressive AoE skills AND auto-attack, once properly leveled, to take care of regular enemies?
Whenever I contemplate such structure, a cunning build for my Vanguard Hawke seems more and more viable. Aveline could use Serve and Protect alongside Bodyguard to make sure Hawke doesn't take much of a beating while being surrounded, but the vanguard would get IMPRESSIVE bonuses from being surrounded, with cunning making sure only half the attacks hit and Aveline's skills making sure 30% of the damage is transfered to her, effectively cutting damage in 66% or something, counting the attacks the hurlocks will miss.
With Bravery talent group, this would lead to massive AoE damage from the VAnguard's standpoint. Besides, let's not forget the flanking damage that would make a significant difference on a constitution based build.
Of course, single enemy aggro management is kind of iffy in Dragon Age, but I'm quite fairly certain it could be done. Problem is this build would only be truly effective if we had some add-full boss battles, else those would be TRULY difficult. A rogue would probably be indispensable for those, what with Aveline's terrible DPS.
And that's all ignoring the sweet, sweet increase in critical damage that comes from those points, what with the already increased critical chance from two handed weapon fighting and the obvious mass murdering that would come from a Tornado Whirlwind. My mouth is watering already. I may even turn it down a notch after finishing Nightmare to test it on hard if it proves a non-viable build.
