HI Everyone.....

This is my first playthrough and Still in Act2.....spent over 40hours...(on normal)....and iam really loving DA-2 compared to DA-O+A....I think DA-O totally set a new standard for the gaming experiences for RPG-Epic immersion....

I think they are entirely different gaming sexperiences...the voice over really does it for me i mean ours...as Hawke..


Lots of threads about 2hders and difference in play style and whose the mightiest of them all....However i cant find a thread discussing 1hder/shield combo's with the varying play styels....Full tank> Tank + CC + med dps> Tank +good dps + CC> Full DPS with good tanking-CC...

i have Fadeshar...(sp?)....

I currently roll with Varric-Merrill-Anders......and enjoying it immensely...

Also love all the advice...expescially about that merchant who resets gear every reload into area...WO_OW!....

Any advice is much Apppreciated...

I'm playing SnS warrior on my second playthrough on nightmare now. I love mages first, but when it comes to warriors I always prefer shields, shield bashing is really enjoyable.

Im playing a templar SnS warrior. the silence works wonders against assassins and holy smite, once upgraded can really hurt undead/demons.

I'm planning on getting reaver as my second specialization, for the extra damage when my health goes lower, and then the heal from devour (great spell - heals you, can set up CCC and finish a CCC)

I was toying of the idea of getting aura of pain, to have some more aoe dmg, to help with threat generation.

I've seen loads of people recommending Cleave though from vanguard tree, especially for nightmare. So maybe i'll give it a go to see what its like.

As for party combination - I've set Anders up to be pure healer/support, he has full creation tree, glyph of paralysis is awesome, and ofc haste. Then in arcane to get upgraded barrier, and then his special tree. you can get some in primal too, to get petrify.

Then it depends if you want a tanky melee dps at ur side, or a not so tanky. i.e Fenris or Isabella respectively (there is a bug atm though to do with Isabella's frienship bonus)

Then varric is an awesome member to fill a ranged dps slot. or merril, to help out with even more CC with petrify/horror/sleep etc etc.

anyway sorry for the novel Image IPB

This is my first play through. You are the tank and do moderate damage. Built for Hard-Nightmare.
LvL 1: 3 points in str (used makers sigh) shield defense
LvL 2: 3 points in str/ taunt (note: you're the tank make them come to you and not your companions)
LvL 3: 1 point in str /and 2 in con/ might (note: will be using this all time till Act III)
LvL 4: 3 points in con/ control (note: u wont be using this sustained your getting this for cleave)
LvL 5: 3 points in con/ cleave (note: use this frequently)
LvL 6: 3 points in wil/ destroyer
LvL 7: 1 point in wil/con/str/ the with your Spec get berserker/ an your abl point in Bolster
LvL 8: 3 points con/ Berserk (note: each hit with berserk on will take Stanima. So (Xbox360/PS3/PC) key Bolster so while you auto attack press the key so you will regain Stanima)
LvL 9: 2 points in con and 1 in str/ barrage (note: use frequently and stack Ander's Haste and Isabel's thumbs up. You will be lighting fast and hit a lot)
LvL 10: 3 points in str/ upgrade cleave into claymore
LvL 11: 3 points in str/ adrenaline (note: useless need it to go further in berserk)
LvL 12: 3 points in str/ upgrade beserk into endless berserk
LvL 13: 3 points in str/ upgrade berserk into savage berserk
LvL 14: 2 points in con/ 1 in wil/ Spec point Reaver/ Ability point blood frenzy
LvL 15: 2 points in con/ 1 in wil/ deathblow
LvL 16: 1 point in con/ 2 in wil/ shieldbash (note: your main DPS ability)
LvL 17: 1 point in con/wil/str/ scatter (note: your main AOE DPS ability)
LvL 18: 3 points in str/ devour
LvL 19: 3 points in str/ sacrificial frenzy
LvL 20: 3 points in str/ second wind
My build will stop at lvl 20 even tho you will probably go to lvl 30 if you know what your doing. If so I recommend you dumping all your stats into strength, and with ability points I would get aura of pain/ fervor/pummel/frenzy of pain/unrelenting barrage.
For armor I just use the warrior champion set
Weapon: Glandivalis / Shield: Knight of herself
Group: (I run with) Anders/Isabela/Merrill(varric if you don't want a Mage)
