Reaver

Class	Warrior Specialization
Restrictions	Warrior only
Requirement	Way of the Reaver

Reaver is a specialization of the Warrior class in Dragon Age 3: Inquisition that focuses on dealing damage based on HP.

As the battle gets bloodier, these vicious and deadly warriors get even more brutal. Hurting them just makes them mad, a mistake most enemies don't live to repeat.

How to Become a Reaver

You must complete the quest Way of the Reaver in order to receive this specialization. It initiates by speaking with Breaker Thram in the Skyhold courtyard after completing the Specializations for the Inquisitor War Table Operation. You must collect 20 Rashvine and 3 Infusion Primers from the 3 locations listed below. They are NOT random drops, but instead drop from 3 specific enemies. Once you've collected the above materials you must craft the Infuse Dragon's Blood at an "Inspect Requisitions" bench.

Gather the materials to infuse a dragon's blood, study the methods to prepare it properly, and Breaker Thram will reveal the secrets of the punishing Reaver specialization. Kill rivals to claim Infusion Primers at: 1 in the East Side Hills, 1 in The Flats, and 1 in the Black Fens in Crestwood. Readings can be found among the belongings of Iron Bull inside the tavern in the Lower Courtyard of Skyhold or, if those are unavailable, among the wares of the book merchant in Val Royeaux .

Objectives:

Acquire Writing on Reaver Methods.
Acquire three Infusion Primers.
Acquire 20 Rashvine.
Gather materials to infuse blood.
