Specializations | Dragon Age Inquisition Wiki

Specializations are sub-classes within Dragon Age 3: Inquisition classes, which allow you to customize your Inquisitor and playstyle with a whole new tree of skills and abilities. 

Within each class (Warrior, Mage and Rogue) are a further three sub-classes, or Specializations, which make available new abilities and skills for the Inquisitor. 

How to Unlock Specializations

Specializations are unlocked by completing the Specializations for the Inquisitor operation at the War Table. Once this mission is completed, the trainers for the various specializations will appear at Skyhold, offering individual missions to unlock the specializations.

Warrior Trainers can be found on the upper right battlements, Mage Trainers appear near Skyhold's front gate, and the Rogue Trainers congregate in the lower courtyard.

"The best of the best have been summoned. Training with these "specialists" will ensure the Inquisitor's abilities remain at their height."

Warrior Specializations

Champion

These powerful defenders protect their allies from harm, standing strong against devastating blows with expert training and fierce determination. Enemies can't kill them—and usually can't survive them.

  Reaver

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.

  Templar

These unrelenting warriors specialize in fighting mages and demons. No enemy's magic can withstand them, and they inspire and protect their allies with their righteous power.

Mage Specializations

Knight Enchanter

These rare mages received special dispensation from the Chantry to serve in battle. They summon blades from the Fade and are experts in protection and defense.

  Necromancer

These mages specialize in binding the spirits that are drawn to death. They can put the fear of death into enemies, bring spirits to fight on their behalf, and even cause devastating explosions when their enemies die.

  Rift Mage

These mages draw upon the force of the Fade, either pulling matter from the Fade to attack or twisting the Veil itself into a weapon to stagger or crush their enemies.

Rogue Specializations

Artificer

These specialists control the battlefield with deadly traps. Neither they nor their explosive mines are ever where the enemy expects them to be.

  Assassin

Any rogue can kill a target, but assassins make death into an art form. They specialize in quick, deadly kills that let them slide back into the shadows undetected, or indirect kills that eliminate targets while the assassin is safely away.

  Tempest

These unpredictable experts specialize in using alchemical mixtures that wreathe them in frost or flame. Fast, chaotic, and possibly mad, they wade into the fight and dare enemies to face the storm.
