Artificer:
Personal Preference:10
In Game Utilization: Looks to be an 8
Lore related appeal: 6 (if I could just get my hands on some Qunari Explosives).
I was just looking for something like:
Knight encahnter: 10
Templar: 9
Tempest: 8,5
Necromancer: 8
Champion: 8
Assasin: 7,5
Reaver: 7
Artificier: 6,5
Rift Mage 6,5
Excuse me for being cynical but...
Personal preference: Given that most people don't completely read the OPs post and don't realize s/he asking for rate every specialization, they will fill this stat incorrectly since they're obviously picking their favorite. May want to reword it.
game usibility: I don't know, haven't played the game yet. Game play video isn't enough.
lore related appeal: Once again haven't played the game yet I can't judge lore off a small description. Many people are avoiding spoilers here so it's assumed we know little information.
Let's approach this differently based off what we know:
Personal preference/what I probably will use
Knight enchanter: 10 (my first play run)
Rift Mage: 6
Necromancer: 7
Assassin: 9
Tempest: 6
Artificer: 8
Templar: 7
Reaver: 8
Champion: 6
Gameplay useability: They all look useful, only time will tell which fits my play style.
Lore: We only have detailed lore on reaver and templar and those are quite interesting. Assassin and champion seem generic since they just decribe any old assassin or hero. The others it's too sooner to say but the mage ones are interesting especially rift mage since it directly relates to the inquisitor's situation. Tempest I can't imagine where that's from and Artificer we've seen examples of trap/explosive users.
Personal Preference:
Necromancer: 10
Knight Enchanter: 8
Rift Mage: 6
Tempest: 7
Artificer: 8
Assassin: 7
Reaver: 10
Champion: 6
Templar: 4 (Don't know why, just never liked this spec)
Can't judge gameplay utility yet.
Lore wise: Necromancer, templar, reaver and rift mage could be interesting. Necromancer since it's a school of magic popularly looked down on, templar because of the whole mage/templar war, reaver because they're warriors who use blood magic, and rift mage because it relates directly to the quizzy's powers.
The rogue specializations don't really stand out in any way lore wise personally and champion seems particularly dull in this area.
Personal preference (not having played the game yet
):
Rift Mage: 10
Tempest: 9'5
Necromancer: 9
Knight Enchanter: 8'5
Assassin: 8
Artificier: 7'5
Reaver: 7
Champion: 6'5
Templar: 6
Necro: 9.5/10 only issue is they need a persistent summon. Guaranteed my first playthrough.
KE: 0/10 because they are flat out broken. There is NOTHING FUN about them. They need balancing patch ASAP because they wreck and break the entire game on anything less than nightmare.
Riftmage: 8/10 cause I really like force mages in DA2. Really tempted to even play it in a 2nd playthrough after necro.
Assassin: 4/10 meh, really seems weak
Tempest: 2/10 super meh, no idea what they are meant to do
Artificer: 6/10 could have way more traps and actually feel rewarding. I was hoping for some sort of weak turret to be placed even. Not even close to as tactical as I thought it would be.
Reaver: 9/10, amazing looking class. Love the lifesteal and everything. Beautiful.
Champion, 7/10 because it is broken as all hell. Tryndamere ult on a 32 second cooldown that lasts 8 seconds and a passive that does the same if he falls below a threshold of health. But hands down will be able to tank, but similar to KE this is flat out broken.
Templar, 8/10, really love the buffs they bring and the paladin-esque atmosphere. Very excited to see what it can do in game.
Knight Enchanter - 10 (Our lord and master)
Necromancer - 8 (Rad, but... why Haste?)
Rift Mage - 6 (Great in function, but I think this mage spec above all others really needed its own identity. Too many orphaned spells)
Reaver - 10 (This spec has only gotten better each game, and now it's just insane. The duke of all DPS monkeys)
Champion - 7 (To the Death is cool. Line in the Sand is cool, but makes no sense. Everything else is all tank all the time, which is a playstyle I've never cared for on the PC)
Templar - 5 (While Templar has always been cool conceptually, it just never brings the "wow" factor in gameplay, outside of possibly DA2)
Assassin - 6 (Same-old DPS monkey. Been there done that. Mark of Death and Cloak of Shadows are interesting enough to raise the score)
Tempest - 9 (Definitely the most interesting rogue spec in both flavor and gameplay. Though, a tad confusing)
Artificier - 7 (I really wanted to like this more. Really cool in concept, but I think there's just so much potential lost in the tree. One of the actives is literally a time machine that doesn't make any sense. Focus skill isn't even tech-related)
KE: 0/10 because they are flat out broken. There is NOTHING FUN about them. They need balancing patch ASAP because they wreck and break the entire game on anything less than nightmare.
May I inquire as to what you are basing this off of?
Note: Preference is my personal opinion (obviously) on how awesome they look; Mechanics is how well I think the class will fare from what little footage I've seen (the Tips and Tricks video on specializations) and knowledge from previous DA games where applicable; Lore is how ingrained the specializations are from what I know of the DA setting and the relation to Inquisition in particular; Overall is the sum of the 3 previous scores averaged.
(Hopefully this doesn't look like poo)
