Two-Handed Weapon
A fun class for the offensive-minded warrior, especially a Qunari with its 10 percent melee damage bonus. There is no point in wasting points in Weapon and Shield. Choose a path and stick to it to maximize those precious ability points as you build your character.
Abilities:
Block and Slash lets you deflect the next incoming attack and counter. Its Flawless Defense upgrade does bonus damage and adds to your guard (50 percent damage bonus and 15 percent to guard amount).
The Mighty Blow ability deals 200 percent weapon damage and bonus damage to grounded foes. Its Easy Target upgrade costs less stamina and deals 300 percent damage.
The Pommel Strike is a quick strike that stuns your target, and its Lightning Jab upgrade has increased stun duration and a four-second decrease in cooldown.
The Earthshaking Strike delivers a shockwave path to hurt all enemies in front of you. Its Shattered Ground upgrade causes fire damage to erupt from the fissure left by Earthshaking Strike, and enemies hit by the flames burn for eight seconds.
The passive abilities include Flow of Battle (reduced cooldowns after critical hits), Shield Breaker (armor reduction for six seconds after a critical hit), Guard Smasher (100 percent bonus damage vs. Guard), and Clear a Path (stamina boost for hitting multiple targets with one swing.)
