Anyone else think it feels underwhelming because a lot of it effects demons only. Wish they would expand it a bit since lore-wise i do love their concept.
Also, i wish we get some other warrior specializations since Reaver/Templar/Champion are always there.
Well for me, the most challenging fights so far have all been rift-closing fights, so demons would be the most valuable enemy to affect. But I haven't gotten that far into the game yet either.
Need berserker back as i was and never have been fan of reaver specialization.
Yeah by looking at it Templar doesn't look much but i did my latest NM run with an Qunari templar and it felt most solid character. Dispel is a powerful ability its a utility that other warriors lack. When i played as champion though i never died,my party was getting down frequently because i mostly control my main char and well champion kill the enemies a bit slow 
Wrath of Heaven/Spell Purge combo works %90 of the enemies in the game and those enemies who are immune to it are accompanied by those are not. So even when you met a boss who is immune to your spell purge his lackey are dead or near dead the moment combat begins.
And demons are the enemy type you'll fight half of the game which Templar unfairly dominates.
Thanks for the info guys I was wondering what spec to use on a 2 handed warrior because imho Champion has always been a bit slow as far as killing enemies and Reaver seems a bit boring seeing that only the Dragon Rage spam is useful compared to the first two Dragon Age games.
Templar seems like a good Crowd Control spec since the game is full of demons and mobs.
Cassandra is probably my favorite character along with Dorian but its hard to use her over blackwall when champion has invincibility active/passive skills, a taunt that multiplies damage done and a tactical wall.
Aparently wrath+purge is crazy strong and wasnt something I had a chance to play with when I ran with Cass.
But yes ive seen cass wipe away pride demons near instantly i was like wtf?. I have personally not played a templar yet but have tried a reaver and honestly i would advice people against it. Reaver gives you no detonators, changes the playstyle completely, makes you more squishy and in general you will be better off just rolling a rogue.

I played SnS reaver on nightmare ff and surprisingly can take northern hunter solo in level 14.
I can even kill vinsomer in lvl 17 (full party) while my previous playthrough using DW rogue, can't.
Templars have self detonator using WoH -> SP, but with FF on all nearby party will be stunned for a long time.
Well my assassin murders dragons faster than my reaver could. For a reaver its a dragon for an assassin its just a overgrown lizard.
It is OP imo, makes every single non-dragon / boss encounter trivial with just two key presses:
Wrath of Heavens -> Dispel -> Done.
Shame the extra damage doesn't cover mages as well as demons.
Makes sense, lore wise, and would add a lot to the class.
I kinda miss the old DA:O Templar nuke that did damage based on the target's mana pool. Playing my mage on nightmare at higher levels and rounding a corner in the circle tower only to be orbital strike'd into oblivion by a trio of Templars across the room. Good times.
I plan on being a templar in my next playthrough, and from what I've heard it has AoE detonator combos that work on everything for big damage.
Also, the only remotely challenging fights that don't include demons are Haven and Dragon fights, and you won't even have specializations for Haven. Everything else is rifts/rifts/rifts.
Edit: Furthermore, and a little off-topic, I think the templar class fits the theme of the inquisitor almost too perfectly. A templar, who specializes in destroying demons and suppressing magic is given the power to disrupt/destroy magical rifts and stop the influx of demons. It makes sense. Plus, the look and carriage of a templar just fits the role of leader/king quite nicely.
I always control Cass when closing rifts. Wrath Of Heaven and Spell Purge just slaughters demons.

Also how you acquire the Mark, btw (without spoiling) clearly fits with a Templar.
Especially if you play human it is practically the role that makes the most sense. However it is also true that from a purely RP standpoint the role of a Templar is a bit boring (too righteous); you have to come up with some "imperfection" to make it interesting.

I think there are almost two strong cannon characters, a human templar that sides with the templars and doesn't drink from the well, and a female elf mage that sides with the mages, drinks from the well, and romances Solas.

I know what DW rogue capable of. But you understate the reaver spec.
You said Reaver is squishy while my playthrough using sns reaver can tank a dragon until they die.
fair enough as my reaver was 2 handed. Plan to play templar next after my assassin is done. I do have a question on blessed blades, does anyone knows how it works exactly?

That only works on demons, is situational, has a long cooldown and if that makes this spec then its more useless then i thought. SO my point stands, outside of demons its a terrible spec.

Only works on demons... dont bother.

It works on all enemies that can be stunned, its an Eldritch Detonator combo. Bull charge in Wrath of Heaven to stun, Spell Purge to eldritch detonate the stun.

Have you ever tried by your self? I don't think you have or you just did it completely wrong. It works on everything that can be stunned and not immune to spirit damage.
However I agree with "it is stituational", there are many enemies you can't nuke. Dragon, bear, giant, arcane horror, wyvern, undead, big guy with big hammer...etc. You can't even nuke a buffalo lol.

That would be helpful, except he was asking about blessed blades, not wrath of heaven, which does only work on demons as far as bonus damage goes.
