I was looking for your advice on which class I should play on my second playthrough.
I was thinking a Dual wield rogue or warrior.Posted Image

If you have any suggestions on which is more fun, then they would be appreciated.

PS. If warrior, then what type and why?  Posted Image

Thanks

DW Rogue is what I would suggest. Mainly because I felt like it complimented the rest of the team. You pick up Aveline right in the opening and there's that one chest you get to open before you face the ogre. hehe

I just felt more unique to the team with rogue than I did with warrior. But if you do warrior, go two-handed since Aveline is sword/shield

Thanks for the quick reply, yeah, I remember seeing that chest at the start and thinking 'darn' lol.

I think that I will do DW Rogue because of the speed and such.
However, can my rogue be better than Isabela, as I found her quite useful during my current mage playthrough?
I am playing on the Xbox and havent found any attack speed problems so far though..

I can't help you on the better than Isabela question. lol. Only one has picked her up already and that's my DW rogue so I just have her on the bench so to speak. :lol:

If I can get pass my growing hatred for Carver, I might play my mage more and use her in the fighting. I like the mage in DA2 better than I did in DAO but be forced to have emo-kid Carver just ruins mage playthrough for me.

Yeah, I really enjoyed my mage playthrough (offensive) and I left the healing mainly to anders while Aveline tanked and Varric provided support from the sides.
I usually just avoided Carver because he wasnt overly fond of me making choices which helped the mages as well as being really moody...

Ask yourself if you like single-target damage or AoE the most. Rogues are squishy but have the best single-target damage by far. Warriors are more durable and rely on AoE attacks to do good damage. Both classes can do good damage but in different ways.

Yeah, I think ill go rogue because my assassin will definetly be screwing over the bosses with his abilities to strike them out of nowhere!

If you played mage for your first, and are about to start a DW rogue playthrough, you're in for a TREAT. After suffering so long with pathetic mage damage and useless spells with ridiculously long cooldowns, you'll be destroying **** with no effort and having a great time.

P.S. Tell me mages aren't gimped after playing a Rogue. I dare you.

playing an archer rogue as my first play through has ruined it for me on extra plays now, mage dmg is pap and cooldowns are so long and warr is pretty much the same, low lvl im on about.

archers just destroy minions in 1 hit while standing still, my warrior takes a few swings and ive got to be moving about all over!

I loved playing the mage as I felt as if I was the Leader of the group when I was calling down my apocaliptic firestorms to weaken the enemy while Ave and Isabela take advantage of it.
Using Cone of cold to freeze those are attacking me and burning them up with my torch of Falondin..

I completeted my mage last night and strarted a rogue which was really fun but, it felt so odd fighting the ogre, i felt really squishy without my regular mage laying down support and without all my mage buffs, but im now in Kirkwall so things should pick up a bit..

Any ideas on what talents to get and where to allocate my attribute points :)Posted Image

Sorry, what do you mean gimped??Posted Image

They aren't, at all.

One word: Paralyzing Hemorrhage on 6/7 staggered enemies, 22K damage to ALL of them. Can a rogue do the same?

Mages require more synergies with the party. While a rogue is good either without combos, mages to really shine requires them. However no class is really "better" than another, all are good within their purposes.

For some reason, Hemorrhage wouldn't work well for me, I never grasped what it does.. :(

I'm having a blast playing a THer for my 2nd run :)

add pts to Str, Will, and Con and have a blast. I'd going to max the TH tree, and/ vanguard take berserker spec

It works the same as Blood Wound in DAO and as all other AOEs (the only difference with them is that it works only against targets that have blood).

The beauty of Hemorrhage is that it doesn't consider nor armor nor resistances and the damage on staggered targets is +900%. Probably the most powerful CCC for Mages, on some occasions even better than Walking Bomb on Disoriented, in any case it's surely less tricky (at last on NIghtmare).

I did try blood mage but I thought that it was too much of a bother not being able to be healed and constantly watching over my health..
So i respecced and went force mage/spirit healer and never looked back..

Anyway, im going DW rogue and was wondering what talents to go for and where to put in my attribute points...
Thanks

Well if you want striaghtforward and happen to be playing normal difficulty only... just pump into dex and cunning.
Not sure if Ive read this somewhere but you may want to pump more points into cunning to maximize crit damage... naturally since by late act 2 you'll be pulling off crits very often.
Just like you, I'm playing through 2nd playthrough as rogue ( except its archer rogue) after going through the first time with mage... just saying.
hope i helped.
