The choice depends on your personal preference – I wouldn’t say any one of these is “better” than the other. You can grab a Reaver warrior (Iron Bull), a Knight-Enchanter mage (Vivienne), or a Dual-wield rogue (Cole or Sera).

DPS #2įor your 2nd DPS character, you have many options. Another reason I really like this role is that it works surprisingly well on AI. You can use any mage companion for this role – you don’t need any specialization skills. You can get away with using a standard DPS mage and adding Barrier/Revival to his skills, but I recommend having a dedicated support mage. The support mage fills a dual role in Dragon Age Inquisition – keeping your party alive with Barrier and Revival, and helping with Crowd Control and setting up Combos. For this role, I would choose either an Assassin or a Tempest-specced rogue (Cole or Sera), because Artificer requires manual control to do comparable damage. Archer rogues survive MUCH better than melee dual-wield rogues, especially if you are using AI to control them, and have very high DPS. DPS #1įor your first DPS, a ranged (archer) rogue is a no-brainer choice.

The champion spec gives you multiple tools to keep enemies focused on you and improve your survivability – the 2 main concerns of any tank. Tankįor the tank slot, nothing works better than a Champion spec warrior – this is why we choose Blackwall (or your Inquisitor character, if you are one of the few people that actually LIKE tanking). Now let’s talk about every one of these roles in detail. Since we have an additional 4th slot, the obvious choice is to add a 2nd DPS character. This is the core of pretty much any RPG game that involves multiple characters. The tank/support/dps trifecta is our basic starting point. For example, I like Iron Bull so I chose him as my 2nd DPS, but the other companions work well too. You have multiple choices for your non-tank slots which you can choose based on your personal preference.

So, for example, I played a Tempest Archer on my first playthrough, so that filled the Archer Rogue position. Your Inquisitor character can go into any one of those slots depending on your class/spec. Tank (Blackwall) + Archer Rogue (Cole OR Sera) + Support Mage (Any mage companion) + 2nd DPS (Iron Bull/Vivienne/Dual Wield Cole or Sera)
