How are you leveling him?
3DS: 1607-3034-6970
He's got Warden Commander armour. I've been getting his strength up for massive armour and he has his other points spread in dexterity (for shield skills) and constitution. I'm only about level 12-13 I think.
With massive armor and shield wall up, he should be lasting through most fights pretty effortlessly even without much constitution.
Are you, like, healing him? Regeneration is a pretty good healing spell and can get him through most fights without ever taking noticeable damage.
I do heal him, though I don't think I've tried throwing regeneration on him. I'll give that a try tonight if I can stop Orzammar crashing.
I usually play casters in RPGs, but since it's party-based, I don't think I can resist the pull of playing a rough-and-tumble baby dwarf. And a noble one, no less! Now... Warrior or Rogue? I'm willing to micromanage, obviously, but I'd rather not be pausing to get behind EVERY single enemy in EVERY encounter... That is, if that's how backstabbing works. If it's kind of automatic, movement-wise, then I'm more on-board... I could go a dodging dwarf.
You need to position yourself in the back quarter of a character, thought you really don't need to pause. If a tank has the enemies attention and will hold for a time, just walk behind who you want to backstab.
Rogues and Warriors are both fun, imo.

It's pretty effortless on the PC version, one click behind the enemy and as long as the tank doesn't completely suck you should be fine until that enemy goes down, at which point it's another click to target the next enemy anyway, so you might as well spend half a second clicking behind them when you target it anyway.
On the console version, I can easily see it being more of a problem, as it is kind of difficult to reposition with the movement keys when it gets crowded
Warden Commander armour is massively irritating because it is (I think) the only levelled armour in the game. If you have it already it's probably not that good. You can sell it to levi and buy it back at a higher level though.
You can also just stick it in storage, leave, and come back some time later and it will be upgraded for free.
Really? That's odd. I didn't get it that long ago though, I did Wardens Keep, Stone Prisoner, and Urn of Sacred Ashes and then 2 companion quests that didn't level me at all. So I don't think it's out of spec very much just yet.
Sure it is kind of dull but I just drop Inferno, Death Cloud and something else then turn the toggles on and well switch to another character and do stuff. Its actually pretty fun but I could see it getting kind of dull.
I have Alistar decked out in Juggernaught and I'm just standing beside in Dragon Blood armour it's pretty bad ass. Where can I get some good heavy armour? Since I don't think it's wise to have my mage in Massive.
If your AW is just going to be casting everything at once and then rushing into melee, there's no reason for them to not be in massive.
I wasn't stating this for kicks.
