What changes would you like to see to Warriors in DA4?

In addition to what's already been touched on...

There has been some recent talk about active dodging/blocks for all classes and I have a feeling there's a reasonable chance they'll make it into the next game. If so, there's opportunity to customize how those abilities work. Eg. blocking/bashing/disarming/etc. and add another layer to help differentiate the Warrior from Rogue.

PapaCharlie9 brought up a good point about in-your-face, visceral combat. In DA:O had cinematic finishers like beheadings and stabbing ogres in the head (which I loved), but the game moved away from that. And that really hit home after I played the new Doom. The combat in that game (SP)... is glorious. To the point where it hides a lot of its shortcomings. Now, obviously it's an FPS, but there are lessons in that game Dragon Age could benefit from.

- Overall, move the game to a more visceral style of combat.
- Let's see that damage on all combatants. If I take a swing at an opponent with a sword, set someone on fire, etc. - let's see the lingering wounds from that. And vice-versa. If I just finished fighting off 100 Qunari and Saarabas, I want to look like I was in that fight.
- "Glory Kills". Bring back the cinematic finishers with impact and style. Impale foes on spears, crush them under mauls, slice them open with daggers, cleave people in half with greatswords. Let the limbs fly, the blood dripping from weapons. Make the combat feel less like The Hobbit and more like... 300.
- Music. Music sets the tone for combat and great music can dial up the games' intensity. One of the most memorable scenes for me in DAI was the opening cinematic for the assault on Adamant. The music was on point there, and by the time the Inquisitor makes his entrance, I'm ready to go.

IMO, that would give a much needed boost to combat in general and warriors in particular.

I was going more for "battle damage" - your gear getting progressively dinged up/scorch marked/dirty after fights, weapons red with blood... that sort of thing. If I'm stumbling back to camp with 1 HP, I want to look appropriately messed up. 

Right now, they've done a great job with making our gear look wet in the rain, and we have some okay-looking blood splatter, but I'm hoping they continue and take that to the next level.

i fail to see any reason to improve warriors when rogues are the superiour class.
