Dragon Age Inquisition Way Of The Reaver

Unleash Your Inner Blood Mage (Kind Of) with Way of the Reaver!

So, you're playing Dragon Age: Inquisition, feeling a little…vanilla? Warrior just isn't cutting it? You wanna feel powerful, dangerous, like you could cleave a Darkspawn in two with a single sneeze? My friend, have I got the specialization for you: Way of the Reaver!

Forget that namby-pamby Templar nonsense, or the predictable Champion routine. We're talking about tapping into dark magic, using your own health to fuel devastating attacks! Think of it like overclocking your gaming PC, but instead of electricity, you’re using… well, let's just say "life force."

Why Reaver? Because Awesome.

Let’s be honest, the name alone screams "I'm here to mess things up!" Who wouldn’t want to be a Reaver? It's way cooler than "Accountant" or "Sandwich Artist," that's for sure.

Imagine walking into a crowded room. Everyone sees the Templar in shining armor and thinks, "Oh, how noble." But when *you* walk in, radiating dark energy and smelling faintly of iron, they think, "Okay, I'm just gonna back away slowly now."

That's the Reaver experience, folks. It's about intimidation, power, and maybe a little bit of self-healing through the blood of your enemies. What's not to love?

Skills That'll Make You Say "Ouch...But in a Good Way"

The Reaver skill tree is a glorious symphony of pain and gain. You're essentially trading HP for raw destructive power. Think of it as a "pay-to-win" system, except the currency is your own precious lifeblood!

Blood Frenzy turns you into a whirlwind of death, increasing your attack speed the lower your health gets. It's like that scene in every action movie where the hero gets beat up, but then gets a second wind and absolutely decimates the bad guys. Only this time, you’re engineering that second wind yourself!

Then there's Devour, which lets you, well, devour your enemies. Okay, you're not *actually* eating them (probably). But you are sucking their life force out of them to heal yourself. It's like a magical, morally questionable health potion, straight from the source!

And of course, we can't forget Dragon-Rage. This is your "Oh crap, I'm about to die… or am I?" button. You transform into a freaking dragon-like being, becoming practically unkillable for a short time. It's perfect for those moments when you accidentally aggro half the map (we've all been there).

Playing Reaver: A Few Tips (and a Warning)

Playing a Reaver isn't for the faint of heart. You'll be dancing on the edge of death more often than not. So, get ready to see that red health bar get uncomfortably low. A lot.

Make sure you have a good healer in your party. Someone who can keep you from, you know, actually dying. Vivienne, despite her snooty attitude, is surprisingly good at this.

Also, stock up on health potions. Seriously. You'll thank me later.

But the most important tip? Embrace the chaos! The Way of the Reaver is all about living on the edge, pushing your limits, and looking awesome while doing it. So go out there, unleash your inner blood mage, and show those Darkspawn what you're made of!

Just, uh, maybe warn your companions first. They might be a little weirded out when you start chugging blood from a freshly slain demon. But hey, that's the price of power, right?
