Doesn't guild wars 2 have a class that can shape shift into bears or something?

1. Dragon Age Origins Necromancer Mod

Let me look this up.

Yup:

The norn normally have the appearance of large humans, but they are able to shift into a were-creature of one of the Spirits of the Wild. In their human form they are not only tall, at around nine feet, but their proportions are much broader and more heavily muscled than a typical human. Thruln the Lost describes the norn as being giants along with the Jotun. Norn can also have long lives. A norn might live to 120 and maintain their good health and vitality for a long time, though very few die of old age.[1] Norn typically have light or pale skin, while those living in Lion's Arch have their skin tanned by the sun. According to Kranxx, norn generate a considerable amount of body heat at the slightest exertion.

In their transformed shape they take on an upright half-norn half-animal form, taking after one of the animals of the Spirits of the Wild. The were-form is furred, fanged and clawed and grants the norn attributes depending on the animal they transform into.

The transformation between norn and were-form is described as a blurring between the two with the form transformed into gaining a solid appearance over a short period of time. Any clothing or armor worn by the norn is covered by the were-form. It is not known if wounds or poison persist through the transformation.

So yeah, The Norn race in guild wars 2 can shape shift into 4 different man-animal hybrids.

Dragon Age: Origins Builds

If you're an RPG fan and haven't been hiding under a rock in, you've most certainly heard, and probably even played, the best RPG game of 2009 (reader's choice) called Dragon Age: Origins.

If you haven't played it yet, drop whatever you're doing and get it. It ranks up there with the classics like Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. Even if you've finished it once, there's no excuse not to play it again while waiting for Dragon Age 2 to come out, especially with all the awesome DLC out there, the Awakening expansion, and not to mention the MODs.

Enough about that, let's get to my top five Dragon Age builds!

Before Starting Dragon Age: A Few Notes

Before we begin, a few things to note:

1. Besides your main class that you choose at start-up, you get to choose two specializations in the Origins Campaign and an additional one in the Awakening Expansion.
2. Each main class has a total of six specializations you can choose from making. Also, each specialization gives you four extra skills you can learn.
3. There are four specializations available in the original game for each class, and two more get added in the Awakening campaign.
4. The game is relatively easy! That being said you can pretty much choose whatever you want and still eventually win, at least on normal difficulty.

The Top Five Dragon Age Builds

Dragon Age Origins Necromancer Mod

Below, you'll find my top five Dragon Age builds, listed in no particular order.

1. Mage / Arcane Warrior / Blood Mage / Battlemage

This is the cookie cutter, end-it-all build for the power gamer out there. You can:

• Equip any armor, sword, or shield
• Deal huge melee damage and take very little
• Use any spell in the game—though not as often as a real mage without draining your HP.

Blood mage spells are overpowered and Battlemage spells are overpowered—it is boring! Also you can't really hold aggro either, which can lead to some really nice wipes especially when fighting against those nasty High Dragons.

Your physical resistance, being a mage, will be also be quite low unless you turn on a special constant mana draining ability. So expect to get knocked down pretty often by regular enemies.

2. Mage / Arcane Warrior / Spirit Healer / Battlemage

• This is the same as above except for the blood mage part, meaning that you will cast less spells, and do less damage with magic as the other build.
• What you gain however is another character that can heal or revive fallen comrades, so if you don't like living on the edge, this is the 'safer' over-powered build.
• Sword and shield or two-handed is the way to go.

3. Warrior / Campion / Berseker / Spirit Warrior

This is a two-handed weapon build, centered around wearing heavy armor and dealing lots of damage.

• You won't be such a great tank since you have only a few tools to hold aggro, except your high damage. But it sure is fun!
• You can buff your allies and yourself, and Spirit Warrior turns all your melee damage into spirit damage, which makes damage numbers over 100 a frequent sight.
• You also have great AOE capability, enough even to be able to skip having a mage.

4. Rogue / Bard / Ranger / Legionnaire Scout

This is the ranged support build.

• You only really need the first spell from the bard specialization since that is the best, and feel free to go into the ranger tree as deep as you want.
• Obviously rogue will focus mostly on archery skills and the Legionnaire Scout offers some nice survival tricks and a hefty bonus to hit points and stamina.
• Support means splitting stats between dexterity and cunning for that very useful disable trap and open locks skill.
• Great damage comes later on at the price of stamina when you're using skills that automatically score a critical hit. There's even some AOE capability and disables in there.

5. Rogue / Assassin / Duelist / Shadow

This is the melee DPS backstab build.

• All your stat points need to go into dexterity and talents will focus mainly on the dual wield, as well as the specialization talents you have.
• Be sure to learn to use poisons effectively and you will be a DPS powerhouse that's also hard to hit.
• There's also some micromanagement needed for all that backstab action, but that only makes it even more fun!

• While Mage AW/whatever it's definetly the best class in DAO. I wouldn't said the same for DAOA, yes you are unkillable, but you lack the damge of a Warrior or Rouge.

  You can get 100% evasion with anyclass making the AW high survavility useless, archers are ridiculoisly OP in awekening and Spirit Warrior is simple awesome.

  It's hard to say who is the best in Awekening, the 3 classes are equally OP, but if I hace to choose one, I will go for Warrior (DW or archer) because Spirit Warrior.
• When I played this game I was able to get it for free on the Playstation through the free monthly game deals with Playstation Plus. I didn't have any DLC at all, and no mods (Obviously), so any builds I made were limited to content in the base game. This is the one I had the most success with.

  Mage/Arcane Warrior/Blood Mage

  While in the base game Arcane Warrior grants regeneration to Mana instead of Health, making these abilities essentialy useless, their stacks towards armor, resistances, and the chance to avoid attacks completely helps greatly with keeping you alive when you have to sling spells around at the expense of your health. The ability to channel the magic and spellpower stats into your physical damage and strength attribute allows you to pile on more armor and use melee weapons with heaps of damage thanks to weapon buffs like flaming weapons and ice weapons, and the blood mages ability to steal health from allies helps with sustainability and extra juice for spellcasting. I then used the Juggernaut armor (for epic aesthetics and tons of resistance bonuses), Howe's Shield (due to the extra resistances in addition to the only real downside being a loss of willpower, which a blood mage doesn't really rely on anyway), and Spellweaver (because of its bonuses to mage based attributes.)

  Main Spells:

  -All Weapon Augmentation Spells

  -Heroic Defense

  -Heroic Offense

  -All Blood Magic Spells

  -All Arcane Warrior Spells

  Altogether the build works as a mage tank, able to absorb continuous damage with almost no affect, allowing for plenty of health to shoot off spells with blood magic and add extra damage to everyone's weapons (including your own) with fire and ice weapon spells.
• I made a tank build

  Worrior/champion/berserker/spirit worrior:

  50 points to strength then put the rest on constitution

  Use the Two handed skill tree

  Equip the biggest armor and health regeneration accessories

  With this build you would swear to God that your immortal
• You don't seem to know very much about this game and how overpowered one can get. With the way song of courage (far superior to song of valor) and and other rogue buffs stack, a party of 3 rogue archers and one warrior archer can kill every boss in Awakening in under 15 seconds .. on Nightmare difficulty! You don't even need tanks or healers that way
• THIS is your top 5? just awfull, not even a spirit warrior archer.. stacking dex in a backstab rogue? pure fail
• I played arcane warrior year ago.It was unbeatable.Maybe because it was bugged by the special ?armor of blood dragon? or something like that,what i got with the game :PP

  - I was fully enchanted,could cast one low mana spell per battle,but have a nice dmg and armor about 100!! with full resistances.
• whatever inneedofcoffee
• the game seems to be a bit easy once u learn a few basic building tips.but as always bioware delivers on a great story line.

  P.S .. by easy i mean i can solo any boss or group in the game on hard difficult setting
• I'de just escaped from the tower and met the witch in the forest when my computer broke. Still waiting for it to get back to me..

  Anyways, I played a mage, but I found it a bit difficult. I'm not used to playing from the back. Thinking of trying a warrior once my computer gets back.
• It's a very good game so I'm told, My nephew plays it all the time and fills me in on the details.

  He's a wiz at this kind of stuff..Need to check it out myself.

  Alternative Prime
• This sounds like a very good game. I've heard LOTS of good things about it. I'll have to buy it one of these days. :)

  Thanks for the useful hub! :D

Being a Dragon Age Origins Shapeshifter

Shapeshifter is the most contoversial of the Dragon Age Origins mage specializations. You either love it or hate it. A little surfing of various Dragon Age forums reveals that many fans find the shapeshifter completely useless, while for others it is a favorite. A major issue with this specialization is that it doesn’t allow you to cast other spells while you’re in shapeshifted form. Also, you get an unavoidable party member early on with shapeshifter, so taking it yourself can be redundant.

Yet at the same time, shapeshifter allows you to jump right into the fight and become a tank, and so is great for those who aren’t happy with a mage who stays in the distance and doesn’t see much action. Plus, shapeshifter can be useful by allowing you to do damage even after you’ve run out of mana. And last but not least, it’s pretty cool to be able to turn yourself into a bear or a giant spider. So take a look at the information below, which will help you decide if this Dragon Age specialization is for you or not.

Dragon Age Origins Shapeshifter Spells and Benefits

The arcane warrior gains a permanent +2 to consitution and +1 to armor, as well as the following tree of new mage spells.

Spider Shape: With this sustained ability you get to turn into a giant spider, which can be more or less powerful depending on your spellpower score. You get two fighting abilities to help you out, Web and Poison Spit, and a decent nature resistance bonus. This isn’t that strong of a shapeshifted form by itself, but becomes much more useful with the added abilities you get after learning Master Shapeshifter.

Bear Shape: This sustained ability turns you into a bear, with two new abilities: Slam and Rage. As with Spider Shape, your spellpower determines how powerful this form is. You’ll also get bonuses to both armor and nature resistance. This form is generally more powerful than the spider, especially after learning Master Shapeshifter.

Flying Swarm: A little different from the first two forms, this spell turns you into a swarm of insects. You get the ability Divide the Swarm, which as it suggests lets you attack more than one foe at once, and you’ll do more or less damage to your enemies based on your spellpower score. The Flying Swarm is hard to hit, and is often considered the best of the shapeshifting forms especially as a last way to cause damage when your health is pretty low.

Master Shapeshifter: Once you learn this ability, you’ll gain permanent bonuses to the above three forms whenever you use them. In the Spider Shape you are now a corrupted spider, and in the Bear Shape you are now a bereskarn—both much powerful than the original versions. With corrupted spider and bereskarn you also gain the ability Overwhelm, which is very useful. Also, as the Flying Swarm you now drain health from enemies whenever you do damage, which is really what makes that form effective.

How to Unlock the Shapeshifter

There are two ways to unlock the shapeshifter specialization. You can learn it from fellow party member Morrigan, but only if her approval of you is neutral or less. So talk to her a lot early on, until you get the option to ask her to teach you. If you miss the opportunity you can always try decreasing her approval, or you can buy the shapeshifter manual. It is available for about 12 gold from Varathorn in the Dalish Camp.
