Mighty Blow
Payback StrikeWarrior is a class option in Dragon Age 3: Inquisition.
Warriors provide the tank component of a party, taking brutal hits and maintaining the enemies' attention to allow their comrades to take advantage. Warrior are well capable of dealing catastrophic damage, as well as providing an opening for their teammates' ranged attacks and flanking maneuvres.
"Battle-hardened and masters of close combat, warriors are pivotal to any group entering battle. As front-line fighters, they absorb the brunt of opponent attacks, steal enemy focus, and create an opening for deadly ranged assaults from other classes. While some warriors prefer visceral, sweeping damage, many are silverite-clad bulwarks, weathering any blows they don’t deflect with their shields."
The Warrior class is playable by all races, though different races will get difference bonuses which may help or hinder your play as a Warrior.
Note: Elves get a 25 percent bonus to Ranged Defense, Dwarves get a 25 percent bonus to Magic Defense, and Qunari get a 10 percent bonus to Physical Damage Resistance.
