The Dragon Age: Inquisition developers are teasing us. You know they are.
BioWare gave us a sneak peek at what the warrior's Weapon and Shield ability tree will look like in Inquisition. While one of the abilities looks familiar the rest seem to be new (correct me if I'm wrong).
While we can count on seeing the full set of warrior abilities in November, we have this for now:
The Shield Bash ability comes to us straight from Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II.
Here's a the set of warrior Weapon and Shield abilities from Dragon Age: Origins (just for comparison purposes):
- Shield Bash: The character shield-bashes a target, dealing normal damage as well as knocking the target off its feet unless it passes a physical resistance check. Shield Mastery adds an additional attack with the shield.
- Shield Pummel: The character follows up an attack with two hits from the shield, dealing normal damage with each attack. If the target fails a physical resistance check, it is stunned. Shield Mastery adds an additional attack with the shield.
- Overpower: The character lashes out with the shield three times. The first two hits inflict normal damage. The last strike is a critical hit if it connects, knocking the target down unless it passes a physical resistance check. Shield Mastery increases the damage.
- Assault: The character quickly strikes a target four times, but dealing reduced damage with each hit. If the character has Shield Mastery, the damage from each hit increases.
Dragon Age: Inquisition releases on November 18 for PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3.
