She mentions this in dialogue, but which Templar power is comparable, or is this just a dialogue reference, cause being able to light up a rogue Templar or Mage would make her even more badass.

Wrong forum for this and, 

 

are you sure she doesn't mean her own blood? Infused with lyrium from her templar infusions?

[Samael8096]

I sorta just took that to mean that one templar ability she gets, 'Divine something'.

[Tevinter Soldier]

its a seeker ability not a templar ability hence its not in the templar tree.

... What? Cassandra isn't a templar, nor does she ingest lyrium.

I'm not going lie, I was rather disappointed when I saw that she can become a Templar and not a Seeker. I mean come on Bioware, this was the PERFECT time to introduce a brand new warrior class. When she said that she had that ability I got really pumped! Since Seekers are at a higher level than Templars I feel that they could've mixed both the classes. A missed opportunity if you ask me.

 

P.S It also doesn't make sense from a lore stand point, because Seekers do not use Lyrium, so how can she become a Templar?

It's dumb.  Templar shouldn't have been one of the three specs, Seeker would fit both Cassandra and the Inquistor far more

Except being a seeker requires a year long vigil, which would have been impossible to implement

[Ou_Deis]

Actually, after her quest, Cassandra learns for the first time what really turns them into Seekers---it's not what she thought at all. And it's not clear that it would actually require a year. That may have just been the cover story to fool the Seekers into not realizing what was being done to them.

 

From what I've read the developers had said each companion would have a specialization to fit their unique personal history, which I thought meant their own special abilities as in Dragon Age 2, but apparently they changed their minds. Too bad. Maybe the "set lyrium in blood aflame to paralyze mages and templars" was going to be one of Cassandra's special abilities. (Similarly, I wonder if Iron Bull was going to have something other than Reaver---seems they really deviated from the lore in trying to make him one, unless there's more to him I haven't learned about yet. And Blackwall, despite being a Grey Warden, has no Grey Warden powers.)

Seeker have the same abilities as Templars, it's simply that Seekers don't use lyrium. Indeed, the description for Cassandra's Templar tree is that she as a Seeker possesses all the abilities of a Templar, minus the lyrium addiction.

 

As mentioned, it's also impossible for the Inquisitor to learn those same skills within a short period of time, other than becoming a Templar.

Blackwall's quest explains his warden powers.

[sunnydxmen]

she is a templar thats her specialization the seekers are just advance templars.

[Matth85]

 

 

Seekers do not use lyrium, which makes their abilities different from templars. They develop their abilities through ritual and many years of dedicated training. They cannot be possessed and are immune to mind control. Seekers can also develop the ability to set the lyrium with in a person's blood aflame- an ability used to interrogate, paralyze, or kill a mage or templar.

[themageguy]

Yeah i wish Seeker was a specialisation option rather than templar. That way our abilities are targeted at three main enemy types in the game - templar, mage and demons.

[Giantdeathrobot]

Yeah, I found it weird that Cassandra's spec wasn't ''Seeker''. In dialog she explicitely says her abilities are completely different from a Templar's... while having a Templar spec tree. Qué pasa?

 

Then again, in a short amount of time the Inquisitor couldn't become a Seeker. Still feels a bit off.

however Templar and seeker ablities are the same other than Templar's use Lyrium to get the powers. While Cass's is gotten from something else plot revieleing later.

 

So people fretting over the name is just that a name.

 

If a person whre to look at it from the outside they would say that she was a Templar.

[StarcloudSWG]

Actually, the vigil *does* require a year, because without that year of contemplation, prayer, and devotional service... they'd never become a Seeker. It isn't possible to 'just complete' the vigil quickly.

[Kage]

I think its obvious, it got cut from development. It is a pity, but the game is already huge...

[Ou_Deis]

It's later revealed that the Seeker's abilities don't actually come from the year of contemplation, which was a cover for what really happens, which might not actually take a year. So unless you have some additional information which contradicts that, they could have offered an accelerated process (after all, the herald of Andraste is already an exceptional case), or they could have revealed what actually happens during the specialization quest.
