Ok, this is what I have been using, and wondering what others use. I use myself, who is a tank warrior. Then I use Zevran (or whatever his name is) He is always in stealth mode, dual wield and uses poison. I carry two mages, Morrigon DPS Primal (with some back up in healing) and Wynne as my primary healer. I'm in the level 13 area and outside the 4 people that I have is Stern, Lei (abr), Alistair, my dog (Cujo). I was using Alistair and then I realized how much DPS the rogue could do! Any thoughts?

Alistair's main purpose is being able to take a lot of damage, not doing a lot of damage - but since you're already doing that yourself, he is quite redundant.

You should probably level up Morrigans CC a little and take waking nightmare, she starts with some spells in that line anyway.

Wynne too could really use the mind blast->force field ability(up to crushing prison, if you want) and/or the gylph line for the paralysis explosion combo(glyph of paralysis/repulsion mix).

It is incredibly useful to be able to completely lock down a difficult enemy for while you slay the surrounding units.

i play a sort of ... i think of her as a water mage. full line of heal spells, full line of frost, full line of walking bomb and working on my line of glyphs. with myself as a support/control the battlefield char, i always bring alistair. he's set to shield bash anything that decides to come after me. i then often bring the dog and zevran for a damage/tanka and damage-dealer.

It's largely a matter of taste. You should probably have a tank for enemies to focus on (Al, Shale), other people focused on hurting them (Sten, Shale, Dog, Og, Zev, Morry (depending on spell selection)), and some way to deal with large groups of opponents (Morry, Wynne, (both depending on spell selection)), Lel (depending on archer skill selection)). Other functions (healing, thiefy skills, party buffs) are a nice bonus, but probably not necessary.

I think the best party is the most fun party. First of all, it's just much more enjoyable to have funny banter in your party. Second of all, it's not fun if you steamroll through all fights. It gives a much better feeling if you struggle with a particular fight but manage to win it with half your party dead than if that boss is just another future corpse in your way.



That's also why I'm now running without mages, as they simply make the game too easy. I'm running with me as a rogue and zevran, oghren and alistair, because they all have a great sense of humor and very witty banter It might not be the best party, but I like that because I have to pay more attention to the fights. 2 melee rogues are also quite deadly as there is always 1 of the 2 backstabbing. Because they are all melee and all have high dex (and thus high defense), I don't really bother about tanking either and let the damage spread between all 4 of them, making it relatively easy to stay alive.

Get the respec mod, and then what a character's default focus is in becomes moot. I, personally, like to customize my party to optomize the banter and/or opinion of the NPCs.



On my first playthrough, I used Alistair as a tank, Leliana as DPS, and Oghren to pick up the slack (with myself as an AW/SH). On my second playthrough, I'm using Shale as a tank (he's a complete beast, highly recommend using him), Zevran as an Assassin/Duelist for maximum damage output, and Morrigan, who I've respecced to BM/SH (a great combo), with myself as a DW dwarf Berserker/Champion.

[Skydiver8888]

I played a tank, and wanted alistair along (i was a female human noble)...so i respecced him to be a DW (berserker) warrior. can you say BEAST? i could barely cycle through targets fast enough on my tank by end game, he was killing them so fast with punisher, cripple, etc. i barely needed mages, and certainly not a lot of health packs.



I think one of the good things about respeccing him to this is that he starts with decently high willpower, which means he can use more of his abilities (be they sustained or not).



I took morrigan (made her a SH with some CC) and Leliana and it was the easiest time i had with the dragons/archedemon fights, too.

[metatrans]

your party setup sounds very good. you always need a tank. Alistair or Shale work well. If you're the tank you should leave them at home, only one tank is needed. You always need a source of healing and crowd control. Wynne is great at this. The other two party members should be damage dealers of some type. I think you made the best choices available with Zevran (highest melee DPS ally, he outperforms Oghren and Sten by a large amount) and Morrigan (mages are awesome and Morrigan makes a very good offensive mage).

[Jinnth]

I use the same party composition but I take leliana instead of zevran becuase she has betetr cunning/lockpick/pickpocket and she helps my team maximize loot, I guess zevran is more useful in a battle situation but I play on nightmare and never really needed anything more than a CCer a tank and a healer so I don't see any need to make it better than it is in battle situations so I go for the utility aspect for my 4th party member.

I am half way through the game on nightmare right now and it was insanely hard before I chose the following team:

Alistair as the damage taker, mage debuffer.
Zevran as the flanker (does some incredible damage, Mark of Death and Lacerate do wonders).
Wynne as the healer (becomes useful only after getting Vessel of the Spirit, tbh).
And my character, primal/blood mage as the second damage dealer.

I am quite happy with the setting

"Best party"

1.  Me mage, heavy AOE damage spec, inferno, blizz, death cloud.

2.  Wynn, healing /mass paralyze.

3.  Morrigan, healing, sleep, waking nightmare, inferno.  Some CC some aoe damage

4.  Shale.  Best tank in the game by about 1000000000%.

"Most entertaining while still being kick butt" party

1.  Me, arcane warrior / blood mage or spirit healer.

2.  Shale.

3.  Dog.  One of the best companions in the game melee wise, and often overlooked and not used by a lot of people.  If you set up his tactics right, can be amazing.   Gets to ranged mobs much faster than anyone else, knocks them down, and chews on them.  Add to that he never ****es about dialouge choices, and pretty much the best melee sidekick in the game.

4.  Wynn.  Healbot, nuff said.

[Girl Goblin]

The best party is whichever one is most fun for you.



Me? I like playing mages. I'm taking the dog, Alistair and Leliana to accompany me. Honestly, if I could get the open lock talent chain for my character, I'd play with just the dog and Alistair as companions.

[hexaligned]

Alistair starts out with some pretty crappy talents, it takes him awhile to get him up to where a real tank needs to be. I usually just shelf him and take Shale.



Dog has some really awesome and useful abilities, I always end up replacing him about midgame though when I start getting good gear, maybe I have just failed to find items for him that keep him up to the others potential, but he always starts lagging behind.



Sten....only gets one specialization, which hurts him quite a bit compared to the other warrior choices.



Both the mages are good choices, you don't NEED a spirit healer, but it makes lots of things easier, especialy in a melee heavy party.



I'd reccomend the Raven mod that lets you respec your party members, that way you don't have to settle for the crappy specs/talents some of the party members start out with.

[Scosher]

Personally I don't know why people pick Zevran. Sure rogues do the highest single-target damage, but they require a good amount of micromanaging for flanking, which is something you can't pause and queue up an action for like you can with other party members. I'd much rather be controlling my PC.



Alistair or Shale is a must for your tank (unless your PC is a tank). Alistair is superior because of anti-flanking and thus less micromanagement needed imo.

Morrigan or Wynne is a must for a healer (Morrigan comes with better CC spells and she can heal fine with just the basic line, but you can make her a spirit healer as well for added oomph)

Then 2 DPS'ers, preferably one at ranged. 3 melee tends to get crowded with collision detection, and ranged are great at picking off mages right at the start. Depending on what my PC is, I generally like to pick up Sten/Oghren/Dog or Leliana here. Those 4 can usually do their thing without much micromanagement on my part, simply setting up their tactics to assist me (or assist the tank).

[Vaylor66]

Personally I find the dog to be terrible. He takes a hit about as bad as a mage does, and does worse dps than Alister with a sword/shield. The only thing he's good at is taking out a mage because he can run up to them fast. I'm nearly at the end of the game with him.



Right now I'm running my main as a dw rogue, shale in tanker mode, dog, and wynn. My main pretty much kills everything. Shale is an ok tank, but her weapons are bugged and don't add to damage(at least in pc version). So I'm sorta lacking on secondary dps. Also.... the party is pretty boring because it's really just Wynn and Shale occasionally going off on random topics that no one else in the party cares about, so not much interactions. My first playthrough with having Morrigan and Alistair in the same party was a lot more entertaining.

[mythlady7]

My PC is a tank, and then I've had Alister (until the dwarf needed to come along).  IMHO, he kind of sucks -- or maybe I haven't developed him right.  He dies a lot.  Then I have Leliana, who rocks -- and Wynne.  I think I'll try a completely different configuration next time, but this has pretty much worked for me.  But the dwarf dies a lot too -- what's up with that?

[mythlady7]

sorry -- deleted double post.  looked like the first one hadn't posted.
