Dragon Age Inquisition - Class Build - 2 Hand Champion Warrior Tank Guide!

[@wassimthesaint7820]

Its Good To Be A CHAMPION

[@ChesterRico]

Your system specs are insane. I'm chugging along at 20-30 fps on high setting.

Next Video - Knight Enchanter 2.0 Support Guide! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKani6qef8-ld9U

[@sT4RduZZt]

YES, it is finally here. The video I've been waiting for! Pretty awesome build, definitely a nice inspiration for my own 2h champion build. And I agree, the Siege-Breaker upgrade is easily one of the top 3 upgrades in the entire game. It's just so powerful, most of the time Blackwall's guard doesn't even change, because the damage he takes is lower than the guard that Siege-Breaker increased. ^_^

[@KineticGTR]

Exactly. And people wonder why I don't take shield wall xD

[@christopherhill6790]

😂 still playing 2021-20?? And beyond 😆

[@molerm9442]

Hell yeah

[@daultonhutson2944]

Just started playing again

[@Matheus-us8fh]

Another from 2024

[@nemesis7884]

i think its a very cool build - especially if you want to play solo...im just not sure about a team build - i like that all my characters bring something in for the team...and abilities like warhorn, horn of valor, blessed blades are very useful for the whole team (besides barriers of course)...same goes for rally which is think is from a team perspective by far the best focus skill - its amazing... and warhorn is probably one of the most underrated skills ever - it is awesome

[@diablerietandino1941]

I can see this build as being awesome for a qunari, that innate 25 percent melee defense is godly to build upon. Dwarf is good too for the magic resists

[@DarkHeroCC]

Do passive skills from other weapon trees apply if you have another weapon equipped? Say, on my Archer I have the two left Dagger passives and on my 2 hand reaver I have the middle passive from the sword and shield skill tree Does This work?

[@lordkibagami]

yes

[@DarkHeroCC]

thanks! also what do you think are the best or better masterwork abilities for a Mage and a Warrior tank?If you know the name of the item I'd love to know as well And what do you think of using - 10% chance to get hidden blades (4 hits) on an archer - +Guard on hit on my 2-handed reaver

[@diablerietandino1941]

DarkHeroCC chance to use hidden blades and generate guard on hit are my go to masterworks heal 25 percent of damage taken over 10 seconds can be good too on a build like this, can get that from fade touched dawnstone I believe.

[@toddgemmill9591]

Nice work, your video series is exactly what I have been looking for and they are very well done. I like the presentation of skills and then the game play example afterward. Tks Kinetic, subscribed!

[@andredesrochers-gagne1832]

Very nice buid! I think I wil try to go in a similar way whit my tank, it will bring more DPS to the team and make a bether use of the points I already put in Battle master :)

[@bellystraw]

The new combat roll upgrade = Slaughterhouse mode

[@MrODST57]

why?

[@bellystraw]

I have all but forgotten the reason after playing too much dark souls!

[@bellystraw]

NOW I REMEMBER. It does surprising amounts of dmg and the ai loves using it, So when tanking, you charging bull through them and combat roll back in the fray. That's why I like it, also just rolling is lovely

[@MrODST57]

Bellystraw Is champion 2 Hans build fun?

[@bellystraw]

MrODST57 it's a different tank but yeah it's fun. you need to stay a bit more alert but honestly the ss tank is just way too simple so this is a nice and fun change

[@thegreywardenherald8923]

I have a 2-handed level 27 Champion Inquisitor...and I haven't even talked to Hawke and the Warden in The Western Approach...

[@ShaddoII]

I feel you...my KE is level 23 and I still haven't talked to Hawke.

[@27Bayleefs]

Yeah the amount of side quests is insane in this game. You can get broken fast lol

[@armandvista]

Hey Kinetic, I've watched all of your builds so far, and it would be sick if you do a Weapon and Shield Reaver build. All of your in-depth builds have been awesome though!!

[@lordkibagami]

I don't know if I would take a 1-handed weapon to a 2-handed weapon fight.. :/

[@Cephsus]

My PC champ is also 2h, running medium armor with dex/cunning. Invested in Warcry > To the Death > Walking Fortress > Whirlwind. You can pull of some crazy damage with that. Only downside is in the early hours there just isnt enough points to go around, and i really miss the grappling hook and some sort of stamina recovery.

[@MantraHerbInchSin]

I always have charging bull, for traversal as well, since the game is so fucking slow when you run around. I hate using the mounts as well, they feel even slower than charging bull

[@Nytellem]

As you can see you had some problems with the shielded warriors, if you had Combat Roll you would be capable of quickly dodging and reposition yourself behind them and set up for new combo or ability. Simple. but its wha ever. Thanks for the video, im using Combat roll and took some of your suggestions as well.

[@KineticGTR]

I think you're exaggerating the usefulness of Combat roll, and the shielded warrior battle also shouldn't have been your example to try and prove it either. For one, I'm the tank. They're hitting me, and I'm taking little to no damage thanks to my build and team comp. There's really no problem here in my eyes. Second, even IF I had the lightning reflexes to dodge those attacks to reposition, again, I'm the tank. They're just going to turn around and start doing it again. Combat roll doesn't counter their knockdown attacks, so it really solves nothing here. What I should have done is react better and not underestimate how often they would knock me down. Even if this were a problem with these guys, they're one of maybe three enemies I can think of in the entire game that players may struggle with like this. And when it's that situational, it's not worth spending the point or having it take up a slot on my action space.

[@matturso2224]

This looks like a fun build! I wanna try this with my dwarf in a new game!

[@ZeriocTheTank]

I understand your reasoning with charging bull over combat roll but don't forget about the upgrade for the roll. That upgrade removes debuffs that were put on you. A two handed warrior doesn't have payback strike or shield wall to protect them so combat roll can really help them in those situations. My weapon & board champion didn't pick up combat roll but with all this talk of two handed tanks and how proactive, challenging & fun they seem to be I might be giving this a go in my next playthrough. Also I heard counterstrike doesn't work if you don't have a shield equipped. Did that get patched recently? Once again thanks for the video. Champion is the shit! It's good to be Champion.

[@KineticGTR]

"in those situations" And that's exactly my problem with it. It's more situational than Charging Bull. I avoid taking skills or skill combos if they are mainly useful for certain situations. Instead I build around skills and passives that give the most benefit to the majority, if not always a benefit to the fight. A good example of this is the upgrade to Long Shot for Archer called Archers Lance. It allows the skill to pierce through enemies and hit enemies that are fairly in line with each other. But how often does that happen? Not very. So to me, like Combat Roll, it's too situational and so I don't go for it. Debuffs in DAI are more of an annoyance than a major bane I think. It's not like an affix in Diablo like Arcane or Frozen that can kill you in seconds. Here, even if you get a debuff which is rare, it doesn't last long and usually doesn't do much damage. Also I have no idea bout that with Counterstrike. I will have to try it and find out I guess. That sounds ridiculous if it doesn't work without a shield.

[@nemesis7884]

KineticGTR i absolutly agree with kinetic - i think charging bull and warhorn are two of the most underrated abilities there are... i would go charging bull over combat roll any day - hell my tank warrior killed the dragon in crest wood alone, using only charging bull and shieldbash (took me 15 mins) after my idiot companions died all in the first minutes of the fight (of course after draining my health potions first)

[@luqmanr]

KineticGTR it doesn't work on s&s, there's a thread on gamefaqs that says so. I hope they patch it.

[@nemesis7884]

what doesnt work?

[@yani9o]

ZeriocTheTank ***** Counterstrike has been fixed to work with 2H now: dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Champion_(Inquisition)

[@MrNatanhiel]

Playing as a DPS tank seems like a great option to go. The AI is good at DPS, and tanking, but not so much DPS tanking. By filling that role and playing efficiently I feel like it would overall boost your team's kill speed.

[@MrNatanhiel]

I'm thinking about making a team of DPS Tank Inquisitor, Vivienne on Support, Dorian on DPS, and Sera on DPS.

[@taco8512]

If you use this as the player character what party COMp should you use?

[@aaronb8056]

OK so I am just going to put this out there I am a newb to DAI. Blackwall is my companion that is champion. Now that I am building him out with this build. I only have 13 points so far. I ma finding blackwall isn't attacking like a warrior should be. is this a problem with the AI or do I have something enabled that really should be disabled in my tactics.

[@theodale1710]

does the AI use block and slash effectivly aswell?

[@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique]

Yes. I’ve witnessed them using block and slash at perfect timing

[@glendamico9004]

Thanks for the info. Great video. Also.._it's very cute that you have his and hers helmets for your characters. Lol. Sorry bro, just had to call it as I saw it.

[@tg_516]

I think a skill that goes great with the 2h champion is whirlwind plus the upgrade especially with walking fortress on you hit them for 8 seconds uninterrupted!I usually don't take to the death so I invest those two points there

[@leinardesteves3987]

Question. Can this build work with a reaver build? Basically you still get the skills that gives guard from vanguard tree, reduce your health with dragon rage, activate ring of pain with blood frenzy when health is low, cast grappling chain for knock down and then might blow? Mighty blow hits around 700% weapon damage with fervor and ring of pain + crit damage and crit chance?

[@themidnightace8295]

What's the difference if I side with the mages or templars? I don't want to mess up lol

[@Dimon333x2]

Hey do you know if runes apply to skills like devour or dragon rage? I dont see elemental damage combat text poping

[@MarvellousMorbing]

You be surprised 2- handed Champion can Solo Nightmare mode alone & all Dragon battles lol . The kinda OP version of KE for Warriors. Especially u have hit on guard +3/5 or fade- touched dawnstone to grant 5 secs of walking fortress being hit

[@Adloquiem]

Dont have the game yet but is flow of battle necessary? Doesnt look like the champ can get a lot of successive hits that fast and if he does get a crit, its only 1 second. Compared to diablo 3 with the WD getting 1 sec cooldown off each kill near him :x .

[@MightyScoopa]

Awsome guides!

[@1ButtonDash]

so can the 2hd champion tank dragons or u gonna need a 1hd shielded tank?

[@bobbystromboli]

Nice video like always Kinetic. Could you make a video on your preferences for how you have each companion's ai setup? For example, which skills enabled/preferred and such?

[@brambutterham]

Yet another awesome video! You think Lightning Flask (freezing time) would go well with To The Death? Get them taunted, more powerful and more vulnerable, then get 5 seconds of effective damage dealing.

[@alias613]

May you please do a sword and shield reaver warrior please? I just want to see if it would be efficient for Iron Bull. Also may you go back to saying and/or posting in the description the order of the point placement for those of us trying to apply your builds throughout our leveling? Thank you.

[@Ariescz]

KineticGTR Just found your channel (awesome videos, btw), and after watching this and 2h templar video, I was wondering, what are your thoughts on viability of 2h Templar Tank? I sort of want to go for Cassandra as she is depicted in "The Breach" trailer, where she wields a two-hander for my next playthrough.

[@FreakshoW-zl8mp]

What would you say is the best Two handed class? (Champion/Reaver/ext)

[@tyrahnon]

Hi kinect! Great guides. I've been kind of in a rut when trying to plan out what skills to get for my characters with so many choices and your videos have seriously helped me narrow it down. I do have a couple of questions though if you don't mind. I'm making my main character a rift Mage no doubt. I was probably going to do a 2 Mage one rogue one archer. Solas will most likely be the knight enchanter. Now my question is should I make the warriors pure tank? Or the fact that I have knight enchanter should I make it more damage focused? Also I have no idea what direction to go with the rogue. All of these builds seem great and with what I'm planning I probably need the highest dps I can get from the rogue. Thanks for all your help!

[@FinalShadow17]

4 years too late, so I'm assuming you found out that your companions have set specializations lol

[@amysnape6502]

I dont have unbowed in vanguard tree so do I pick livid ?

[@tfwoods3]

Why does blackwall say "It's over .." repeatedly, for no reason, in Storm Coast?

[@joshualewright4127]

Im rolplaying a sword and shield dwarf which specialization should i choose a templar or champion??

[@harrybartlett7925]

Do passives in the dual dagger tree still activate if I kill someone with a bow?

[@fabiogouveia6733]

Yes.

[@rocknrog1]

What kind of armour are you using. I've spend tons of time crafting armour. Tinting armour and I dont have anything that looks that cool

[@TheHorsenation]

Is GUARD affected by my Armor? I ask because of the Skill that gives 20% more Armor when I have active guard. I thought Armor value only comes into play once you lose all your guard (stacked on top), so what benefit has 20% more Armor while you have active guard?

[@TheCrazyDude9988]

Guard is affected by armor.

[@bentmercer]

All you need for a 2 handed warrior build are the guard generator skills and combat roll with the damage upgrade. It's ridiculous, but it's easy mode. Rolling for 3k+ damage even with my level 12 Champion.

[@mechamahou8467]

When this vid was made the dlc didn't exist, and so all the skill trees were pretty much utter garbage. Especially for warriors. I know because I'm stuck with the base game for now, 9 years late to the party, and almost every YT build video doesn't work for me save for these, because he's the ONLY one with base game builds out. It actually sucks. Feel like warriors were almost intentionally gimped to sell them back to you with DLC MANDATORY skills for them to work well. There is so little real synergy and build variety in base game almost makes me wanna uninstall.

[@iluvHaloHalo]

Playing a 2H Champion build and can't use Counterstrike :/ read on a few online posts if it's a bug or an only S&S skill. Anyone else have this problem and how to fix it?

[@MrODST57]

Donita Barrameda I know this is a bit late but counter strike only works for sword and shield

[@mickg929292]

Nice vid man. But I have a "little" problem : counterstrike doesn't work if I hold a 2hand weapon, but only with a 1hand weapon. Is the same by you?

[@nathanielwiley8745]

I see you're good at responding to comments, so I'll cross my fingers and hope you're still looking at them for this video. I know your favorite Specialization is Reaver and it sounded really cool at first, but I'm just not feeling it for my play style. So I'm thinking about restarting and using this build and act as the main tank while still having a little more dps due to the 2H weapon. I plan on using Cassandra pretty much 100% of the time as support/off-tank, Varric as Rogue(though I'm willing to use any of them), and either Solas or Dorian as Mage. Is 2H champ/cassandra a viable combination? Do you have any opinion on the rest of the team if so? Oh I forgot to mention I'm planning on running Cassandra 1H/S. This question is directed towards Kinetic but I'd love someone(anyone) else to reply as well on opinions on this. I don't want to wait too long to start a new playthrough so I don't get burned out.

[@TheMrMister34]

I definitely think that running cass 1h/s as an off tank and you as the main 2h tank is a viable combination. I'd pick Dorian over Solas, mainly due to preference I like having Dorian around as he is a fun character and also as a human he benefits from an extra skill point(not too important but still there), plus the destructive potential of a necro-mage combined with the damage output Varric can provide (especially with an upgraded version of Bianca) is totally nice.

[@nathanielwiley8745]

***** Thanks a bunch for the reply. I agree I really like Dorian as a character and Varric as well. I didn't include Vivienne because well, I really don't like her personality. As much as KE's are over powered, I just hate her character. Anyway, thanks for the support haha, one person was all I needed for a Greenlight on this.

[@TheMrMister34]

You're welcome! Have fun with your playthrough! :D

[@andredesrochers-gagne1832]

I'm currently playing as a SnS Templar Whit Blackwall as a 2H tank and its working very well so a 2H champ + Cass SnS should work too. I've try Dorian and Solas whit that team and they are both good whit the build I'm using. Varric is great but I'm currently runnig Sera cuz she is more funny :)

[@tzikas9]

Hey Kinetic, thank you for this build I am defenetly gonna try this as it reminds me of the Death Knight tank from wow. I wonder, if flow of battle reduces you cooldown with every crit you want some cunning gear for extra crit so if you take whirlwind that could easily bring you to 17 hits and many crits so lots of cooldown reduction. Would that work?

[@volkano985]

I almost gave this one a pass. lucky I didn't because this looks awesome I always thought my champion had more guard than he knew what to do with, even without a shield. So you can get some decent dps while also baiting enemies, A+ in my book.

[@mauricewilks1974]

Is unbowed the same skill as livid ?

[@sambennett4493]

Great videos. Would love to see a build for a sword and shield reaver :) Thanks!

[@drac1425]

KineticGRT have you successfully made an reaver using weapon and shield?

[@angelorembert8497]

how long did it take u to find what passive go with what skills

[@alanadams3343]

In later game do you recommend re-specing and replacing unboxed with another skill. If so, what skill should replace it?

[@alanadams3343]

Meant unbowed. Auto correct is stupid.

[@fayeflavell1123]

What is the order of getting the skills? Or can you walk me through the first 5 or so to get me started

[@cecilemulligan3754]

Can you give any advice about the armor and weapon you are using please ?

[@odinzant6728]

Unbowed doesn't exist anymore? should I take Livid?

[@Haiikus]

Necromancer - Ice Cold and Necromacer Lightning Bolt or simples Ice or Lightning Mage Please

[@Spiattalo]

Is one taunt enough for so long? You're basically using War Cry only until you learn Counterstrike. Looks like this build needs an off-tank.

[@nemesis7884]

there is a 2h sword (blue) with 10% chance to 2 seconds walking fortress but its only dps 160 so mid lvl

[@samevil13]

Where I can find the Griffon's Beak in DA:I ?

[@itzille]

What party setup do you recommend? I play as a rogue and use a bow at the moment. Blackwall is a tank currently with sword and shield. Then i usually have Sera or Cassandra. But when i comes to the mage I don't really know. I want to have someone who can cast Barrier and protect the rest of the crew and still do decent damage and can take care of themselves. Any recommendations? :)

[@NaliaaS]

You should really look into Knight-Enchanter (Warning ahead of time just in case) if you want support which you really need with only one melee sometimes. And it can really boost your damage if you have a Dual Dagger Rogue in the party (Best-Cole or Sera) Otherwise,Necromancer is pretty good at sustaining damage by using DoTs from Walking Bomb and other skills, it can really be defensive even more so when you have Barrier upgraded. So to sum up, either Necro or Knight Enchanter and take a Dual Dagger Rogue if you want, otherwise just those two specs will set you up. Hope this helped :)

[@itzille]

LeedleGod Thanks! Currently using Dorian and Necro to try it out. Going to make my own character a dual dagger rogue I think, I start becoming a bit tired of using a bow. Then I'll roll with probably Blackwall as a badass tank and Cassandra that also can take some damage so I can sneak in and do my thing unharmed, Can't decide whether to pick Tempest or Assassin as my specialization though.. I'll probably go with Assassin. Thanks again for the reply! :)

[@tyrano1982]

with the 2handed warrior tank you will go whirlwhind?

[@davids6056]

does anyone know what the purple attack is where you get like 3 warriors that attack in a short time, it is around 7:35

[@jcbalesk777]

Its hidden blades skill in the assassin perk tree for rogues.

[@Frink77]

What is ur fave spez in the warrior class?

[@KineticGTR]

Reaver

[@94FreehugsOnly]

KineticGTR Can you do a weapon and shield Reaver?

[@Frink77]

KineticGTR Thanks bro, i really enjoy you're videos. Btw to you have some tips on using ring of pain? ATM it's not yet upgraded, but i feel like evrytime i use it my mana drains to quickly. Any tips?

[@Ser_Locke]

Reaver

[@everinghall8622]

been running a two handed battlemaster, feels weak af, i have 10 more strength than my cassandra and I feel like she out damages me, im on normal btw, going to areas that are in my recommended lvl 4-7 and half the enemies are lvl 8-12 two handed and battlemaster offer zero constitution passives, should i just put points into sword and shield so i can be slightly tanky? legit sera (the archer) is surviving multiple hits from things that seem to 1 shot me..... WHAT KIND OF WARRIOR AM I??!?!?! I think i'll just restart and run a mage >.>

[@leinardesteves3987]

Evering Hall battlemaster’s not supposed to be focused on. You need to mix and match the skills. If you want more tankiness get some vanguard skills like warcry and charging bull, it gives you guard which is kinda like temporary health that also considers your damage reductions.

[@Killakanz]

How do you get the champion skill tree?

[@LunairKnight]

For some reason my game keeps freezing every time I play my third Dragon Age account. The other two save files work fine but when I make more the game seems to freeze.

[@FWUFFYCAKES]

Mine did that too and I had to erase all my data

[@epearson210]

What's the order that you took the perks in?

[@gex387]

badassery incarnate! that is all.

[@IamWalkingDead1]

I wonder... Does To the Death have a cap on how much increased damage is put on both you and the enemy? Cause if no, using it on dragons, while risky, can be incredibly useful.

[@volkano985]

It might but you should still use it on dragons it makes them way more fun to fight because their fire will ruin your day but you can really mess e'm up

[@kymark12]

Is the kick after chain pull automatic? When I pull an enemy it usually just gets pulled then my character melees it. Does it have to be upgraded to knock the enemy down after being pulled?

[@proxxiMazz]

yes the upgrade is what causes you to kick them down.

[@OwlsAreAmazing]

Wait wait wait, what mage robes are those on your inquisitor?

[@UntamedSLong]

I would like to see you use this build against dragons as they're the ultimate foe.

[@jm6456]

6 years but who cares, how well does it perform?

[@ioannispana502]

why cant i use the Champion skill tree is it because i am a qunari?

[@khar8630]

Gotta talk to the right person mate

[@xXJerminatorXx]

Are all your builds made for nightmare

[@GoodOldPolly]

Hi. Any suggestions for a Templar Tank Build? Your Templar Two Handed Build is great but I am looking for a more defensive/tanky build.

[@KineticGTR]

That's the next build I'm working on. A sword and shield Templar :)

[@nemesis7884]

im using cassandra as a support tank with h+s she uses (not sure if i get all the names right - i usually use the upgrade) rally - best support focus in the game spell purge - dispeling outside of mage classes is really useful for rifts later on heavens wrath - support and u can make a nice combo -> charging bull / free heavens wrath / spell purge - and u get yourself your own combo cross-class combo grappling chain charging bull shield bash war cry the last spot is open...u can use shield wall which is the obvious choice...i currently play a bit more offensive and use payback strike

[@GoodOldPolly]

KineticGTR Thanks, it was really helpful. Keep the good work.

[@dsmithum]

Is the "To the Death" skill useful against bosses or just trash mobs?

[@NaliaaS]

It is better for bosses, but it can be used on trash you just dont give a fuck and want to plow through.

[@mrfantastic5563]

Have you killed the end boss yeat

[@bigcooki6676]

what is your battleaxe i want it !

[@jrdnmrti439]

Champion is very good for surviving nightmare :) its all fun n games till he uses to the death on a dragon tho :/ halfway through the fight everyone in your party gets one shotd

[@sirmonkeys7284]

Jrdn Mrti then solo the dragon. I've done it before with a champion. Everyone died and Blackwall pretty much did 80% of the work by himself like a boss

[@johnpantag472]

I can't play on nightmare without golden nug

[@NyxNyxaroes]

i have a question will you update these with the tresspasser dlc

[@KineticGTR]

I've mentioned in the past, and I think also in the Trespasser vid I made, that few new options really changed the builds, and that they are still more than viable as they are to dominate the game. If anything, the builds can still be used and some tweaks made to the players liking (as always) based on things they think can improve the build for them. :)

[@codywaldrop8370]

KineticGTR How do you make blackwall into a 2 handed warrior? Just equip one?

[@Shao526]

KineticGTR why did you not invest points in to Flawless Defense?

[@rvsecreto1]

Are those Templar Helmets on your warriors?

[@Mactav3]

Grey Warden ones.

[@calebjones4952]

**When you realise Blackwall had a claymore in the trailers** is this build in a nutshell. Not that it's a bad thing.

[@nathanhuynhhanbinh]

Is it possible to build two hand tanking templar :3

[@NaliaaS]

He has done a Two-Hand Templar before. Although it may not be exactly a Tank though, you MIGHT be able to do it.

[@jeffreyjohnson2]

How do you get those other ones like Templar and ravager

[@keenanjeffery9589]

Jeffrey Johnson you get a mission at the war table after you reach skyhold about your specialization... 3 people come and you have to pick one: templar,ravager, champion

[@aliamarneh2067]

Jeffrey Johnson Its reaver not ravager.

[@ascentlx4222]

any tips for block and slash? I want to use it more but I'm just not good with it, especially in group fights. how would you reccomend I position myself when using this skill?

[@TheGeoCheese]

timing is everything. when you see a mob trying to hit you, that's when you want to block. once you get a few counters, practice makes perfect.

[@dylc3373]

You can hold block and slash too. eats your stamina though.

[@TheGeoCheese]

Dyl C that way is impractical save for demons which are pretty fast compared to all the other. Like I said 4weeks ago, timing is everything. Once you know when to use block and slash you're almost invincible.

[@TheGeoCheese]

Well Hello​ to answer the other half of your question, where you can see the attacks coming. Sometimes a fire mage with a lot of fire can really mess you up and cost you some chances to actually use the amazing counter in the game.

[@dylc3373]

+Elf Loved I know, you're right. Not every player have great keen eyes. Some might need a few extra seconds. holding b&s is impractical like you said however maybe it'll help this person. who knows.

[@VelkasRevenge]

Do you recommend this build for Iron Bull? Trying to use him a bit

[@kurtcobane1762]

LONk Lol? Iron bull can only have reaver as a specialization

[@EldenLordLandon]

When do I get the champion skill tree

[@IamWalkingDead1]

When you either A. Bring Blackwall somewhere after reaching Skyhold and he is level 8-10 or higher. B. Choose the champion specialization which requires the "Way of the Champion" quest to be completed, again, after going to Skyhold and are level 8-10 or higher

[@Krom-Smash]

I don't think you generated any Guard during your demo. If wrong my bad

[@MrBlackatheist]

Steve Mallon He did it just went away really fast.

[@thebingthing8421]

Should do these without any party members

[@neantdistordu982]

Sadly counterstrike requires a shield to be used

[@rangosteel4071]

What armor is Blackwall wearing?

[@tg_516]

templar commander arnor you find it in the western approach but its not that good if you purchase the schematic at the hissing wastes merchant you can make a great templar armor

[@rangosteel4071]

I found this out like ages ago but thanks for replying anyways, glad to know people actually care about helping others out

[@tg_516]

no problem!i had forgot about this game and got into it again a while ago and wanted to make a two handed warrior,also i love templars and I remember the first time playing i didn't know where to find their armor so i wanted to save you the frustration 😝

[@rangosteel4071]

my fav character and my first was a two handed champion that was UNSTOPPABLE in combat because he always had guard no matter what

[@DavidSantos-ix1hu]

Build him for crit and crit damn, with him passively tanking he will debuff the enemy his crite debuff their attack and armor making him a nasty foe to deal with

[@ethanbray8264]
