I've seen many of these threads and a lot of people are asking about how to make a "perfect" build for their class. Unfortunately, no build is perfect in this game because it is your choice to change your surrounding is it not?

PLEASE COMMENT AND RATE

As promised here is the build that is by far Superior in each class:

WARRIOR:police:
-----------------------

TANK
----------
If you want to be a tank, you must have these (however alistar will be your tank so its kinda useless):

42 STR, to wear plates which are high in defense and resistance.
20 Constitution
and the rest should me in DEX
nothing else in Willpower, Magic, or cunning.

TANK SKILLS
-------------------
Powerful

MAGE:wizard:
-------

TANK MAGE
----------
In my opinion, I think tank mage is less depressing than tank warrior and more fun. Why? because mage's usually get agro against monsters when they attk. so a tank mage is perfect

I used Wynne as my tank because she heals so it kind of make sense. PS: if you want to gain control of her, finish the quest fast! or else she'll waste all her skills

By being an arcane warrior(you get it while doing dalish quest for werewolves) you change str for i tihnk willpower or magic. THis means that your tanker will wear plated armors.

20 DEX
30-40 WIllpower, depending if your mage likes to waste mana or not.
20 Constitution IF YOUR THE MAIN CHARACTER, OTHERWISE DONT BOTHER.
the rest in magic.
Nothing Else.

------

Heal
Mind Blast
Force Field
Telekentic Weapons

Blood Sacrifice
Blood Wound
Shimmering Shield
Fade Shroud
Blood Control

DAMAGE MAGE
------------

40 Willpower
20 IF YOU ARE THE MAIN CHARACTER, OTHERWISE NONE.
the rest in Magic.
Nothing else...

SKILLS
-------

Heal (EVERY MAGE SHOULD HAVE THIS)
Fireball
Inferno (IMPORTANT FOR MASS DPS)
Mind Blast
Force Field (LIFE SAVER, COMBINE THIS WITH BLIZZARD OR INFERNO= OWNS)<-- have tank in the middle, throw area spell, prot the tank with force field

TANK MAGE

----------
In my opinion, Shapeshifter is the best tank because;

1. You are immune most crowd control, especially grab!
2. The fastest to build (finished at level 12).
3. You can wear most armour and you don’t need to invest points into Cunn in
order to play the persuade game (uses STR to bully them instead).

Spells

------

Force Field

Earthquake (because you are immune!)

Spell bloom… optional for your swarm

What ever else you like

34-36 Magic
the rest in STR, Nothing else... :wub:

SS can be a viable tank, it isn't better than an AW though. Mainly because you can't keep up buffs/debuffs while shifted. Meaning you are going to have threat issues (on bosses) unless you gimp the rest of your dps.

I prefer my Warrior tanks to be sword and board and DW hybrids. Your dex should be high enough eventually to take the top tier DW talents anyways, I usually just take DW sweep, and then up to momentum. I throw on a shield for bosses, or for anything that uses a knockdown. For trash I just go DW, once you get some decent weapons a taunt followed by a DW sweep, will one shot (close enough anyways) most trash packs, even on Nightmare.

That’s not been my experience… assuming no off-tank of course.
Single Big boss tanking (dragons and such) is the shapeshifters bread and butter. In my play-throughs the difficulty comes from trying to hold peons e.g. a Revenant boss with 5 skeletons can cause issues because I have to dole out my Mauls otherwise the skeletons will peel of me and attack my healer but standard tactics (kill the peons first) will get you to the finish line.
