Good thing there are character stat upgrade perks as well.
The True Grit Perk will be a must have for any difficulty due to the +10% all defense it provides. After all the monsters start hitting hard no matter what and better defense is a must have for the new system in DAI.
Yeah, that's probably the only one in Forces that's a must have for me. Thankfully it doesn't require us to have any other Forces perks to select it... we just need to have captured a Keep.

Though I wonder when will we be able to capture our first Keep to unlock it.
Back on topic:
the focus unlock perks will certainly be useful for the higher tier effects. Something that should be considered as the enemies become stronger as players continue to play the game.
Dorian uses Barrier, Cass uses Templar talent, I use ice wall to cover me and Dorian, my rogue stealths and Flank Attacks the hell out of the mages
I can't wait to unlock Full Draw. The moment I see a mage, I'm going to just look over at Cole and he'll nod and go into stealth...
A couple seconds later, BOOM!
You know....I've been thinking.
What if the bottom spell is Haste? The symbol at the end is similar to Gravitic Ring from DA2. When we have seen Haste in action at E3, didn't it look like Gravitic Ring too? An expanding bubble of temporal energy that slowed down enemies in its radius?
That's a curious thought. I imagine it's no longer a focus spell.

True, but we'll have to prioritize based on what parties we'll be going with... for example, I don't find much value in the restoration glyph that Resurgence creates, so if my PC is a KE, and Vivienne is a KE, then that's 2 chars who are almost always in the party who won't benefit much from higher level Focus powers. Unless we are able to unlock everything eventually, we're going to have to spend those points on things that will yield the most benefits. But of course, this all depends on the player's strategy, party composition, and party member builds...

That mage is toast. It's also the best way to dispatch with enemy spellcastors, or those heavy shield freaks before they have a chance to be prepared for you.

That talent is gonna be absolutely deadly. I might keep Varric as an Archer to utilize a Hail of Arrows 2x Full Draw. I believe that's gonna be instant death for a lot of enemies. That's 3200% Weapon Damage in just one blast.

Yup, pretty much.

Omfg that's just obscene... 
Ok, maybe I will let him keep Bianca after all... lol

As of now, the only spell that I see matching that much damage is possibly Firestorm. Or, perhaps, Fire Mine, if it's upgrade, Searing Glyph gets a damage boost.

If you add the poison talent (for more damage), stealth, and the threat reduction passive, no one will pay your rogue mind until its too late.

Hail of Arrows, then Poisoned Weapons, Full Draw. If you have the Explosive Toxin passive, when you kill people with Full Draw, they will explode into a cloud of Toxic Mist.

That's actually scary powerful. The archer could move around the battlefield killing people people left and right.
Hm... you know, as nice as all of this sounds, I just can't have Varric and Cassandra on the same team. I prefer to minimize bickering between companions, so I can't use him as my main archer. However, I will bring him along when I'm using Blackwall or Iron Bull, so I might as well give him Full Draw too.

But...dat Double Full Draw doe!

Would you happen to know how long can we store Focus? Does it eventually decrease over time, or does it only deplete when used?
Well, you or anyone... lol
A good team would be a warrior as tank, two mages (one for crowd control/support, the other for damage), and a rogue to pick off/weaken foes.

It doesn't decrease. That was said during the KE stream, I believe. It will stay until you use it. So you can open a combat with Hail of Arrows.

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe Iron Bull, Dorian, and Varric... and then Blackwall, Solas, and Sera?
I have to say Full Draw has mad Explosive Arrow slightly pedestrian. That used to be my fave archer attack in DA2.

You have it on the far right here.

Dorian, Bull/Cass, Dagger/Bow Varric
Solas, Blackwall, Sera/Cole

Hm... so basically Varric is a flat out boss killer now... ugh... I really wish I could take advantage of that. Maybe I'll swap Iron Bull in for boss fights... or maybe I can interrupt the party banter and tell Varric to STFU when he's being passive aggressive towards Cassandra?

Focus is such a game changer this time around.

I'm going to mix/max my team.
I'd love to take Vivienne, Cassandra, and Varric on many assignments.
I'd love a Blackwall, Sera, Dorian team too.
Last will be Iron Bull, Cole, and Solas.
Eventually I'll mix them up more.
