After a long time not playing DA:I I decided to start a new playthrough. This time I want to play a warrior, the only one in the party and therefore the tank. Reaver is my chosen specialization because I like the look of it (Dragon-Rage!) and want to deal a significant amount of damage. I don't plan to play on Nightmare. Is it possible to use a two-handed weapon on a Reaver main tank or should I use S&S?
2H/S&S Reaver or even Rogue Tank?

I'm playing a DW Tempest Rogue on nightmare with no warriors in the group and I'm owning these guys with my none min/maxed build... ie I don't have shadow strike or death blow. JoH is proving to be a breeze. Just needed to change up my gear to account for their BS abilities and moved on... probably going to hate the bosses but Oh well.
And the point of that is to demonstrate the lack of a need to worry about having optimal class build especially on difficulties below nightmare. I will admit that it took me a while to find my groove with the rogue and I had a heck of a time with 8 abilities limit, but I've found a functional build for my enjoyment. So give it a go and rock the house with your rage!

That made me think again about rolling a DW Artificer rogue as some sort of tank (non-stealth, face-to-face action). But Dragon Rage looks so awesome! Well, it's a tough decision...
Thanks for your reply.

I am pretty sure you can, just is going to take a lot of work, and positioning. Guard on hit masterworks (maybe a heal on hit/kill one too) and utilize the vanguard tree and you could make a 2 handed reaver tank.
I prefer only champion for two handed tank, or S&S for any other spec (or in general, really).

Lol, Your post got me to roll up a warrior and try to make a two hander work for me... Fem Elf with big ass weaponry is amusing... probably going to go reaver just for the kicks.

Actually I had the exact same plan for my character. Female Elf romancing Solas (because this one might become very interesting) and going rage mode in battle.

I'm not romancing Solas, so perhaps this will change for you, but only Iron Bull even acknowledged the Reaver and Tempest specializations... that was a disappointment for me as I enjoyed the mini talks with Solas, Viv, Sera for the Knight Enchanter.
