Best Warrior Spc.
I've been gathering info on the best specializtions for each class and trying to earn lvl 20 trophies and what is the best tank S&S spec.
For me, the Warrior specs are the most difficult choice. They can all be pretty useful, just depends on how you want to play. That said, I pretty much always take Berserker and then whichever one I think will benefit that particular party.
Templar talents are very useful against mages...useless against anything else. So if mages cause you fits, then this talent can be helpful. I know I get tired of being hit with Misdirection Hex the second my warrior walks into range. One in the party is enough though, so if you keep Alistair with you, then I'd skip it for my pc.
Reaver can be cool in larger battles where there are enough dead enemies to make Devour worthwhile. Can gain some nice damage bonuses with Blood Frenzy, but that requires YOU taking damage. All in all I prefer Berseker over this one. Though certainly deadly when combined. IMO, this one is better for 2H than S&S since (in my parties) 2H or DW warriors are more vulnerable than S&S.
Berserker is good. Who can say no to significant damage bonuses? Final Blow is very deadly. +2 str and +10 health...what's not to like? Give your guy items with stamina bonuses and cast a stam regen spell on him...then watch the fun.
Champion is more of a party buff/enemy debuff. Knocking everybody down with War Cry-Superiority is sweet...but won't effect bosses and some elites. I like this one for S&S, since 2H & DW already have Sweep talents, whereas a S&S doesn't have any multi-target talents.

Ahhh I went with Reaver and Champion I regret reaver in a way because devour won't work very often and blood frenzy is not very good for S&S Tank because Morrigan is so good of a healer that she can keep my character at full or around 75% health.
Champion I find to cancel out Reaver because it's mainly keeping you and your party at full HP and giving you the upper hand causing enemy attacks to do no damage therefore cancelling Reaver talents out.
Berserker I find to be a Spec. only good for 2H warriors like Sten.
But your tips are helpful and thank you for helping me out!

Champion is all about War Cry, which does affect bosses at lower difficulties. Multiple Rally auras stack too, so having many champs adds up.
Reaver i've used for Frightening Appearance CC.
2 hander is all about CC, and you can pack a ton of it too. Caulthrien solo with no cheese? Done.
Eventually once could pack a few shield talents, gear-swap during combat for even more CC.
Not that it's needed though.
