It stands back from the battle or it gets the hose again.

Aaaaand that would be my first total party wipe of DA2. *facepalm*. A two-mage party at lower levels is not necessarily a good thing.

Neither is going toe to toe with an arcane horror if you are a Glass Cannon. I'M LOOKING AT YOU, ETAIN HAWKE. Your job is to stand there with Anders and make with the flashbangs while Fenris grabs and keeps their attention.

Also, I was in a hurry and thus you currently remind me overly much of Sten. Will fix that in a bit. Tomorrow. After I sleep. *whump*

I can relate, having a tendency to play striker rogue or mage types myself. My DDO sorcerer (very much a glass canon) is not the most self-sufficient character ever, and when teamed up with my son's rogue/wizard we're not a lot better. Meat shields defenders are your friends :)

They really, really are. One of the nice things about mages in DA is that they have a few spells for explicitly controlling threat, which is necessary because mages otherwise get mobbed like whoa.

I am just having a little issue going from playing a mage tank to a glass cannon. I'll get used to it. :)
