Originally posted by K00lex:Check the existing presets: ĭon't forget to change Behavior (upper right corner of Tactics screen) to suit the playstyle of the characters, such as Default or Aggressive for Alistair/Tank, Ranged for Mage/Archer. It is hard to say more, when we don't know what sort of character you are playing and who else is in the team. I usually rather rely on my healer to keep him going.

Later it depends what sort of mage you have and if anyone is actually making pouches that would make a difference enough to have Alistair stop his tactics run to sip them. Alistair stops his tactis run to sip the pouch, so there is no point of using one, if it does not heal him a lot.

You might want to set him to use pouches in early game.

Alistair's Holy Smite is very weak and there is little reason to progress that far in the tree anyway, if he is your only tank. Cleanse Area is conditional and you should use it manually, or you might end up clearing friendly spells as well.

There is no reason to add any Templar abilities to Tactics.

That 15 points makes a difference, if you are using it constantly. I am usually setting Assault to target more robust enemies, because it can drain Stamina from other talents.

Use Shield Bash as default talent (closest enemy).

If you have patched your game from Nexus, then you will have to decide if you want the constant -20% damage reduction from Shield Wall, or just set Alistair to use it against Boss level enemies.

If you are playing unpatched game (meaning that you have not added fixes from Nexus), then just use Shield Wall all the time. Set him to use Shield Defence in melee and Shield Cover against ranged attacks.Both characters can use Taunt, but Alistair is usually a lot weaker tank than Warden, which causes your team to waste healing spells and pouches, if enemies are swarming over two tank characters. If your own character is a tank, then Alistair should use Threaten instead and your character should use Taunt. If Alistair is your only tank, then set him to use Taunt often, or use it manually.Mages and rogues require more work than him.
