I have been using my free-camera tools to eye up Bull's fingers for the past hour, and I have to wonder where I've gone wrong in my life, but I still can't get a consistent answer. :<
The upside is, I bring screenshots!

My first dragon was totally the crestwood dragon. Because I'm such a heavily fire-mage-tree spec, the hinterland dragon takes a bit more gear before I can kill him properly on nightmare. Crestwood is pretty easy as long as you don't kill yourself with those stupid lightning circles she puts around your feet. >_> Not that I've done that. But...I've totally done that. ._.
Bull as party tank on nightmare is still the best. ♥ I haven't tried to make a 2h warrior work on nightmare, but I have heard that all you need to do is craft him some guard on hit gear and he becomes ridiculously tanky, even on nightmare spec. Deep into his reaver tree though, Bull is still incredibly heavy hitting with a sword+shield.
As for Dorian, he's still one of my favorite characters in the game, right there next to Bull and Cole. I stay away from the Dorian thread for the same reason I might have offended the Dorian fans here, so I'll stop that because I'd like to be better than the haters. It's completely possible to love both of them. I'm sure I'll love Dorian even more when I start his romance and experience it for myself, instead of using second hand information from people as fact. xD
