I've got this question that's been pondering me for a while. Can two Reavers on a team survive together? I'm wondering because I have a warrior and I'm thinking of having him and Iron Bull on the same team. How will this work out?

Sure, two reavers can survive without any major problems.

 

Warriors really only need two essential things to survive easily:

 

1. War cry (vanguard tree) with the calls to arm upgrade (gives you insane armor)

2. Horn of Valor (battlemaster tree) with the party +guard generation upgrade (requires trespasser DLC).

 

The following are highly preferable for increasing survivability:

 

3. Weapon with high crit + flow of battle passive in the 2h tree, to reduce cooldown so that you can spam war cry and horn of valor more often

4. Trust the steel (vanguard tree) passive

5. Heavy armor crafted using dragonbone

6. Cooldown amulet you get in Chateau d'Onterre, so you can spam war cry and horn of valor even more often OR the enhanced amulet of barrier

 

Also, if you spec iron bull to 1h+shield, he's a better tank than Cassandra provided that you have the craftable Dread helmet schematic (JoH DLC), since Qunari gets a boost in melee defense. However, Cassandra has more group utility.

Cool, thanks for the input!

You can solo Nightmare as a Reaver, so I'm sure having two in a full party will be fine. Might be interesting to do a duo on Nightmare. With Rub Dirt On It Trial enabled.

 

Unless you really like 2H all over the place, consider respecing either yourself or IB to S&S.

My main character is a 2H I was wondering if Iron Bull could run the tank position well.

[Aeratus]

Sure, Iron Bull can tank fine. Since Iron Bull is qunari, he tanks well due to his melee resist racial bonus. Unlike a Qun-quisitor, Iron Bull can actually wear a helmet to boost armor. 

 

2H can also tank. In fact, a 2H tank is sometimes even more effective than a 1H tank. Because 2h weapons can have higher crit% than 1h weapons, 2h can use the flow of battle passive more effectively, to spam the war cry armor buff at a higher frequency. Furthermore, with the horn of valor upgrade that gives 10% guard per hit, 2h can generate guard faster than 1H because it has a larger AOE attack to hit more targets at once.  

 

The only problem with non-champion 2H tanks is that they need high armor to fend off archers.

Did they ever improve the AI control of Reavers for their spec skills?  I have built IB decently enough to tank before, but it wasn't really with Reaver skills active (well, maybe Devour).
