Dragon Age 2 character creation?

I'm trying to decide what type of character I want. I prefer high damage dealers that won't be ridiculously easyily overrun by enemies. Dps but with slight solo abilities. I'm leaning towards rogue or mage, but I don't have any concrete thoughts yet. I'm familer with this style of game as well as party management style (tank healer dps the likes). I would like some view on pros and cons on types by people, from their experience. I read the guide and the introductory book inside, but I want more from experience views, instead of broad vague statements...I will eventually try but what should I start with? Thanks in advance|||The rouge class is good for both solo and group types of fighting it also helps if u r getting smashed by a boss or something because if u need u go invisible and move away and u can heal your self but if u like being extremely OP then pick mage.|||http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/鈥?/a>





Follow this guide for a shadow archer. I have played every other class, but this build is hands down my favorite. It's very versatile and makes the most efficient use of the bow. The guide is very thorough and will even tell you what gear to buy. I have managed to solo a few of the harder fights with it such as that demon you release from the tomes.|||The class I had no trouble with was a rogue archer. I invested points into the assassin,archery,specialist trees and other abilities that increased damage for critical hits. While I played this class I hardly ever got overrun by enemies.
