I felt the same at first seeing how often Bull dies, but after experiencing it with Alessandra II it's awesome to play as. Especially if the Inquisitor is portrayed as a dark character. The thing I had to be careful with is overusing dragon rage, because it dangerously consumes a lot of health. Rampage and devour help restore that.
Are you planning to use your sword and shield Reaver as a tank or deal massive damage with another warrior (ie. Cassandra, Blackwall) to tank?
Just wondering, because Blackwall is my tank while Alessandra II lays all sorts of damage to enemies.
Sigh. Outta likes again.
I guess maybe MP Reaver is a bit different, but then I have Heal-on-Kill gear equipped on her as well, so Dragon rage so far hasn't been a problem; in fact I can practically spam it. I guess I'll probably have to get out of that habit when I go back to single-player

Not really sure yet what style of combat I'm gonna use with Cirwen. I'm still very early in her game -- and trying to figure out how to get by shielded Templars without returning to camp to restock potions after every fight

-- Am thinking maybe Cassie for a tank, since from a role-playing POV, she and Cirwen are developing a grudging respect for eachother (at the moment. Will it last?

) and I haven't recruited Blackwall yet. I'm guessing the first time he flirts with Cirwen, things aren't gonna go well for him

I guess reavers are more suited to being damage dealers?
