Reaver

By

Absurdly high dps if you can get close more of a glass cannon rogue type than a warrior, lifesteal and damage based on percent health, much better for lower difficulties.

Tamar is a fearsome warrior who developed her abilities by consuming dragon blood. One of the cultists who lived in Haven during the Fifth Blight, she escaped the Chantry by fleeing into the mountains. Tamar was later captured by Inquisition agents and given the choice to serve or die. Execution in captivity would have been shameful; Tamar wishes to die in battle, the blood of her enemies on her sword and a war cry on her lips.

Unlock Order

Straight to Rampage, then upgrade Dragon Rage (level 7), upgrade War Horn (level 9) and then get Deathblow, Flow of Battle, then unlock everything else in your own desired order.

Strategy

If you have a barrier caster, try to get a barrier first, then charge into group, activate war horn, then rampage and spam dragon rage/devour. Target panicked enemies first as they reduce cooldown on hit. If you dont have a caster, wait in cover until another character has aggro on him or you will die fast. Then walk in and do your thing. Position yourself carefully, you will die fast when rampage isn’t active. and remember, YOU ARE NOT A TANK WITHOUT RAMPAGE ON.

Potions also benefit the reavers survivability a lot. I use Rock Armor tonic, healing mist, health potions and pitch grenades. Please note that rampage is bugged and will not restore health per hit for the rest of the game in some cases. For that reason alone, I don’t recommend taking this to Perilous until its fixed.
