    The first attack he does. He, uh, shoots lightning at you. It does next to no damage.

    Ahhhhhhh, Berserker mode drains stamina per enemy that clips your swing. Does not last very long right now. Expected it to just drain stamina per swing.

    Worth dumping spare points into Willpower?

    So I've run out of skills to buy on my 2h warrior Hawke at the start of act 2. I've filled out 2hander and Vanguard, but none of the specialisations seem that good.

    In constrast, I barely have half of the abilites I want on my Assassin/Shadow Isabela.

    Correct, you can avoid the Rockwraith's big AoE attack by hiding behind columns until it's done firing.

    What he said. Reaver and Beserker both have awesome talents. Beserker gives you increased damage and attack speed. Reaver gives you increased damage and some healing. How can you not want those on a 2-Handed warrior?

    Naw. Just wait until you get the skill that gives you back stamina every time you kill someone. Along with the Warrior's natural stamina gain you'll be getting back 50 to 100% of your stamina off normal enemies.

    Not to mention you get a free +7 boost to willpower with the Rune of Valiance so I wouldn't even waste my time.

    I usually don't start using Berserk until I've gotten the Endless Berserk upgrade. That usually negates the problem altogether. I don't even bother getting the stamina recovery on a kill talent.

    So I arrived home to find my wife playing DA2 and doing some random questing and hand-ins
    She thought she'd go and talk with Meredith and the head of the circle, then
    OMG
    WTF ANDERS?!?
    I mean, WTF

    So that moment was up there with greatest videogame moments of all time :)

    Yeah...I think that was one of the few moments in recent gaming history which made me just shake my head and say "...goddamnit."

    I gotta admit...even if I HATE that it happened it was one of the few times that a video game story got some real world feedback from me. Doesn't make it a better story than DA:O's but damn if I wasn't surprised.

    At that moment, I literally started a new game.
    I had been staunchly pro-mage, and it had always been my intent to do a second anti-mage character. I decided that moment was as good as any to start.

    Fuck, Anders sucks and I'm gonna make sure he knows it this time around.

    That's actually the first thing I thought of when I saw those two moves.

    I have to say that this far I've had far more fun with my 2-h Warrior than I ever had with my brief stint with the Rogue class. I'm quite fon of the big numbers you can pull off with a Rogue but it simply seems that the general survivability and AoE attacks of a decently equipped Warrior simply overshadows the Rogue. If someone wants to prove me wrong I'm all for it since I really like all the ninja flips and twirls that the Rogue class do in this game.

    Actually, Willpower is a good thing to sink points into for a Berserker. Since the damage bonus you get is based on your current Stamina, higher Stamina = higher damage. At least, if I recall correctly. Plus, in boss fights without trash mobs, having a high Stamina pool lets you be useful for awhile between Second Winds.
