I have made wynne an Arcane Warrior now but she seems to be losing mana really fast now, why?

Either haste or cleansing aura,
they drain too much

Do you have Combat Magic or Shimmering Shield active? The first makes spells much more expensive, and the second drains a lot of mana.

It doesn't really make sense for a good healer to have any of those active. But if you just have Combat Magic without activating it, she can still wear non-mage items.

Shimmering shield and combat magic are not quite meaningful sustainables for a healer wynne as termokanden mentioned.

I took the Combat Magic off her, the only sustain she uses is rock armor i think it is. I only have full medium armor on her my whole party right now is level 15.

I have been curious, has anyone used the Party that was used in the Dragon age origins Ashes trailer or something like that? the Warden (you), Sten, Morrigan, and Leliana? I was wondering if that would be a good party though I would not be the one to use a Sword and Shield just not my play style.

I am using this setup in my current playthrough. My Warden is DW rogue, though.

I prefer 2 melee + 2 ranged, more than 2 melee fighters tend to get in each others way especially in tight quarters.

How is it working for you is it a good setup? Just trying to figure out some other good party members to use. So you don't always need a warrior with sword and shield?

It works great. Morrigan is a mage killer/debuffer/damager (Mana Clash, hexes et al). Leliana is ranged damager and buffer (Bard+Ranger). Momentum is remarkable for DW rogue. I just finished the Dalish section, and will proceed to Orzammar.

Hey everyone, im back with a little question. I have been playing Awakening now for a while (really cool how i am now the warden commander) I just recently got Sigrun and i just want to say wow she is awesome. But for my question is there any way to make leliana like Sigrun? I am playing on normal and i haven't really had to micromanage with Sigrun at all. For her specs i gave her Duelist and Assassin, i forget which one she came with. My party for Awakening is me, Justice (awesome tank) Anders, and of course sigrun.

But im thinking Leliana is more archer since she starts with many archer talents huh?

but i cant find it, or figure out what the name is

I think you'll struggle. Sigrun is good at not dying thanks to a combination of awakening being really easy, and the new legionnaire scout spec which literally makes you invulnerable. Cunning rogues are just naturally really fragile, there's not much getting around that. You can give leliana high dex rather than cunning which will help, but she won't reach the "immortal" sort of level

Dang, oh well. I was trying to find a way for Leliana not to lose health sooooooooooo much.

I saw the Talents for Blood mage, is it a good idea to make a mage a blood mage? I mean one of the talents could kill a party member. I was thinking or making Morrigan a blood mage on another playthrough.

Blood magic is a good choice for any mage. You don't really need to use blood sacrifice, which is what I think you are concerned about. Blood magic only has a 10 second cooldown. So, you can just turn it off when you think her health is getting alarmingly low and chug a lesser health poultice or just heal up with spells, casting with mana while blood magic cools down in the meantime, & then go ballistic again with forbidden blood power. You can even automate this process via the tactics.
I like using blood wound primarily which also has a comparatively lesser cooldown duration of 20 s. I'm guessing it would be funny to 'blood control' enemy mages, but it should be noted that during the duration, the tactics of your allies will actually consider the controlled creature as an ally, the repercussion being that vital spells might be wasted on the temporary ally.

Blood magic is a good choice, but depending on your party setup, gear, playstyle, you may find that other specializations might complement the party just as well or even better.

Oh darn...i love this armor, well the helmet because the armor is the warden armor that i get from wardens keep. Is there anything that transfers into origins from any of the DLC besides Lelianas song because i already have the armor from that.

Yes, there are unlockables from Golems of Amgarrak, Witch Hunt and Darkspawn chronicles as well.

And um...about that helm, if memory serves right, probably the 'duty' helm of the effort armor set in origins has the same model as the sentinel helm. Just different tints.

Chronologically, golems then witch hunt, golems can be a bit tough though.
