After logging an obscene amount of hours playing this game. I have decided to two-man it with a Dwarven tank and the mabari. Thoughts?

For that matter what do you think would be the best type of character to play (class, race,stats,etc) on a two man team with the mabari?

Ideal mabari level progression?

[dertrop]

I guess overwhelm would be you first choice, maybe putting one point in charge first, to be able to charge at unwelcome casters or archers to "distract them" until your PC finds his way to them.

Since you decided on playing a dwarven tank (meaning warrior?), i think i would go either sword & board, for more durability and better aggro managment or 2H to kick ass with stuns and swings and knockdowns wit moderate Cooldowns.

just my thoughts

[Erakleitos]

All strenght + take overwhelm asap, then the other line. The mabari almost never get aggro, so he's basically a damage add ;p

Or, you could try a dex based Mabari as a tank, with a rogue.



But I only seem to have the warrior line when I'm playing as a Human Noble, otherwise it only seems to have the War Dog tree (on console). Bit hard to Tank without Taunt.

[soteria]

On the PC, even as a human noble, I've never seen the warrior line appear for the mabari (although I've only just now filled out the entire mabari line).



Stats for Dog... all strength works really well in a typical group. You might end up wanting more dexterity in just a 2-man group, though.

have you the DLC??
the reason i ask is because on my first chara when i didnt have the dlc "dog" had both war and dog talents
but after dlc he only seems to have dog talents... until after first town

iv read some where that when you get sten or the next time you are in camp and have sten he teachs "dog" the war line
it seems to work but i have never not got sten in the first town sooo it could be unlocked after the first town neway

and also if sten does teach him it doesnt seem to tell you he has or show anything going on bettween them....

It's weird. That might make sense, cause I've never had warrior earlier.... but.... >.>

Warrior talents for Dog is a console ONLY thing. For some reason it would break the game in xbox/ps3 if they gave him so few talents.

this seems rather odd.... but it would give an entire new opportunity being able to play with a dog tank instead of alistair or shale or loghain.

[Poopsock]

Ya. I would love to see it implemented. Maybe some enterprising someone could come up with a mod...

On the console, it broke the game if somebody got a talent point and there was nothing to spend it on. Rather than fix the bug, they tacked on the warrior tree for Dog. It was faster.

Anyway for stats, I think pure strength would make him too vulnerable. Last time I tried Str/Dex 50/50, but I'm thinking of leaning heavier on Dex this time around. He did get agro with the 50/50 build, and he wasn't fragile, but he wasn't durable either.

[Poopsock]

There must be something drastically lacking in your tank if the mabari can pull agro with 50/50 str/dex.

[stribies]

There's plenty of ass that is bad. You don't need to build such a thing.

Tank mode shale with str/con 50/50. Probably more of a tactics issue, I had him using CC abilities on enemies with certain health levels.

[Poopsock]

Ya Shale is a great tank especially post-level 14 or so; it must've been tactics.

[dkjestrup]

Dog isn't fragile with max strength. Dog is a true warrior, worthy of respect.



I'm yet to try Dog as a Dex-Tank, though, could work. With Taunt and Overwhelm, he'll be great.

[soteria]

lol... I have to disagree, though. I'll just say that with max strength, he is the most fragile member of my team. Being so fast makes it worse because he tends to get targeted a lot more.

How do they work around this for Shale? If you manage to reach approximately level 23 she starts to get extra talent points, even with all the warrior skills and her unique tree.

[Sir Kalkanor]

i say you could use dog as a tank but he is so much better as an attacking chara

hes like a 2h war ...without the skills.. and mabe lower damage but he has a fater attack and moves faster



what id love now is if you could have the dog as a main chara^^

if someone came up with a mod for this (and better gear for him) id swap over to pc just for that
