For warrior Str and con

[MJF JD]

warrior - str and con
rogue - dex and cun
mage - magic and will

[soteria]

Well, the obvious is that if you want to wear good gear you have to take the two primary stats for that class. For warriors, you need str/con. Rogues need dex/cunning. Mages need mag/will. Even though companions have their unique armor, they still have stat requirements for weapons. At this point, it seems you basically need to raise those two stats more or less equally.

Other than gear requirements, you don't gain stamina or hp on level-ups, so there's another reason to pick up that second stat. So far I haven't had a lot of trouble with rogues running out of energy, so I don't know that they really need willpower.

Someone who has played further along may be able to comment more.

It seems like you are forced to add some con or willpower to every character.  I'm trying to go only Magic for my mage but weapon restrictions are forcing willpower pts and it seems like injuries only effect health.  So they seem to be forcing your hand a bit.

Don't really get why you need cunning or willpower to use armor.

Cunning...maybe because you have to be smart enough to put it on?  Arm goes here!  Leg goes here!  hurrrr
Willpower...maybe because you have to have the persistence to put it on...I mean, there are alot of buckles to fasten on some armor.

Anyone think it's worth putting points in strength on a rogue? I'm sick of watching Hawke get batted around like a catnip ball in a room full of kittens, at least until Aveline gets some better skills.

I guess if you are really having troubles, but it seems like it may be a waste to do.  Maybe try some different tactics first before adjusting a build.

The game is a lot less flexible in attribute allocation than in Origins... I am finding it hard to make a DPS sword and boarder, attribute wise. I need to at least have some willpower but I am forced to spend all my points in strength and constitution to equip anything.

So my answer is basically, I really don't know.

Depends on what you are making.
Warriors do need str/con but also note that cunning now affects defense. So tanks need cunning and not Dex. Also magic is worth while for a tank it now affects your magic resistance.

Str is probably better for 2H and you see more immediate returns but dex now affects how often you get CHs and cunning effects CH damage. So they have a place in the build especially if you use abilities that act as a CH. It is not cut and dry now to just max strength and mostly ignore all else for a 2H warrior. You definitely need constitution now for armor.

Rogues I think are still pretty straight forward Cunning/Dex. Now DW backstabbers have more incentive for cunning than bow wielders. It affects defense. I don't think the new stat system affects rogues as much as warriors. Tanks now can benefit from almost anything and there are some reasons to experiment with dex in a 2H build.

Mages seem pretty straightforward too with willpower/magic. Dex is useless but cunning might help if you want some defense.

I can understand cunning for armor more than constitution or willpower. Knowing the armor's weakness and understanding how to adjust tactics to best use the armor is important. Con and willpower does not make much sense unless the mage is a nudist and it takes a lot of willpower to get dressed.

I'm annoyed that I have to have equal amounts of Strength and Constitution to equip armor for my 2H Warrior. Honestly, it has put a ridiculous strain on my build since I was going to invest in Cunning to help with Defense. If I do invest even minor amounts in Cunning or Willpower/Stamina, I'm going to have an issue equipping armors.

We need Con for a THer? Crap.... I keep pumping Carver's Str.....well..I like Aveline better as a sword n' board anyway

It does sort of  limit our ability to customize classes. But the reason makes sense for realism:  Cunning =  higher chance to evade.  You shouldn't be able to evade much while wearing heavier armor.

You need con for armor.  Carver doesn't wear normal armor.  He doesn't need con.

Dexterity also pumps up crit chance for all classes, the higher the percent the more you crit. Shouldn't that be kept in mind for all dps classes?
