I'm going to guess they'll be the main stealth class.

I have some questions about stealth in DA MP:

How long do you stay in stealth?

In ME MP, stealth was an aggro drop, but if you played a solo game or everyone on your team was dead, the mobs could still find you in stealth. How are the stealth mechanics in DA MP?

Does it give a bonus to attacks that break stealth, as in ME MP?

Does it have a cooldown? What is there to prevent someone from constantly hopping in and out of it?

From the trailer:

 

 

Looks like Stealth and a couple of attacks from the same tree (similar color scheme), and another attack. It's probably some version of Assassinate, Backstab, and some sort of stunning move. It's the move that the assassin uses in the scene here, which looks like a knockdown attack:

 

 

We can pretty much conclude that the assassin is a dual dagger-wielding stealth character who has stuns and stabby moves.

I notice that this enemy only seems to have a health bar.

In ME, you had health, armor, shields, and biotic barriers, all of which had different properties and let you benefit from different ammo and abilities.

The sniper, for example, was designed to function best against armored targets because they had slow, heavy hitting guns and stealth mechanics had a CD. The soldier class with the assault rifle was better at quickly chewing through regular opponents without armor.

At least, at the beginning. Patches and new weapons/classes, sort of scrambled that altogether.

It's a shame good thing that I don't have a mic, otherwise people would be able to hear Drunk Eirene mumbling about "assassassassbites" during Friday night multiplayer sessions.

The only thing I can think off is that maybe enemy mages can cast barriers for them/their allies and warriors seem to have some kind of defense/extra health spell aswell. (blue glowy/armored healthbar)

I really look forward to stabbing people from the shadows with some friends. I am maybe way too excited about being an assassin in DAMP.
