Morrigan second spec
She is currently at level 15.
Spells:
Blizzard, Lightning, walking nightmare, master shapeshifter, mind blast, life drain.
(blizzard, walk nightmare and master shape are level 4, so all previous spells were unlocked.)

She currently has 1.5 mana rege from melee combat skill + Liliana's song of valour (0.82 atm)

I am thinking about making her a Arcane Warrior and here it's why.
1 - She'll gain 23.82 extra armor (cailan's armor set). With Fade wall not counted, otherwise an extra +6 armor and 9 missile deflection.
2 - She'll gain extra mana regen. (although since my warden has spellbloom, rejuvenate, mass rejuvenation and Wynne also has rejuvenate and mass rejuvenation and Morrigan can turn into a shapeshifter creature, mana has never been a issue at all. I have tons of stocked never used mana pots)
Fade Wall +1 mana rege.
Spell Weaver +1 mana rege or Ducan's Sword +2 mana rege.
3 - She'll become a much better shifter, because she'll have more armor, she'll get better passives bonuses and she'll be abled to wield Starfang with 18.7 dmg prior to shifting, which obviously will be converted into the bear/spider damage.
4 - Cailan's set is awesome.

Although there is some cons that I might to consider.
1 - She'll no longer be a ranger auto attacker.
2 - Most if not all her spells requires to sheath her weapon.
3 - Increased fatigue by 9.3% w/o fade wall or 15.3 with it (cailan's set) , Since mana never has been much of an issue and she'll get some extra mana rege, I guess it will be alright, although no Spell Might anymore I guess.
4 - she'll generate more aggro, although she has 2 items equipped which reduces aggro.
5 - She'll lose 55%-60% frost damage... yeah... that really sucks.

Question, why don't I give her Superior Dragonplate? Cuz my main is an Arcane Warrior and he's using it already, same reason for Meric's sword + Cailan's shield, Adruil's Blessing, The Wicked Oath etc.

Well, like said above, being an arcane warrior will have pros and cons, she wasn't specifically made to become an AW, her spells cannot be casted without sheathing her weapons, but eitherway these swords are VERY good, her shapshifting will become so dam good with Starfang and mana wise, she'll be abled to do pretty much the same as always.


The other options are:

SH, first this won't fit with her personality and it won't benefit the party in the slighest.
Also overall speaking I think this spec is completely overated, I mean mana cost efficiency wise, regeneration all the way, heal also has a MUCH lower cooldown and doesn't require to spent 1 spec point into... Also rejuvenate and mass rejuvenation are so dam userful.
Sure group heal could be nice, but it's very situational, it requires to take a fireball,chainlightning or shattershot, life ward cost way too much mana, revival is for whom is planning to die and that healing aura, well... It sounds nice but cost too much mana, also since I spread my party to better control aggro and prevent AEO on my face, that aura spell just isn't effective.


The last option then would be the Blood mage spec.
Well... I never made a blood mage before so I dunno what to expect, also since it drains health it would increase the amount of targets that Wynne has to heal, which means more cd and less mana...

As far as I know blood mage offers the best CC in the game, but my team has a rock solid dps, support, utility and CC already. (plus some nice aggro on my main.)
Here is my CC from below.
My main has Grease, Force Field, Mind Blast, Crushing Prison.
Morrigan has Sleep, Walking nightmare, cone of cold, blizzard (which combos so nicely with tempest and grease by the way.) SS forms also gives me more CC, such web and overwelm.
Leliana has scattershot and dirty fighting...
Wynne has petrify and stonefist, I'm gonna give her fireball which is already amazing by default due knockout + dps, but with grease, it will get even better.

I don't feel I need more CC at all.

Anyways, the only choices as I see is either Blood Mage which I don't know if I will benefit from it, Arcane Warrior which has some cons or nothing at all.

Suggestions?
