-I know that playstyle you mean. But there's a big flaw to it: It also applies to you. You won't be able to resist a lot because you focus too much into attack, to kill faster than enemies can kill you. But what if there's an enemy, that kills you faster than you can kill it? Or even before you can reach it, if it's a mage. Then you will depend a lot on Shale or whatever Tank you have, and if they go down (which can happen if you depend too much on them), you will be the focus thanks to stronger armor=more aggro, and then you will die.

That's why I prefer being at least off-tank with a shield. I don't care how long the fight is, as long as I can win it, which is why I make sure to be able to last long.

-I never really used Oghren, he felt too...mediocre to me. He always got killed, his Berserker talent didn't really do anything, and no matter what I gave him and how I made his tactics, he always died on me even if I tanked everyone. In the meantime, Sten was also 2-Handed, lasted much more, tanked better, and did not die on me 9/10 fights. And if everyone but him died he just recited the Qunari speech for the fallen and everyone got back up with 100% health.

Only used Oghren for Orzammar, after that he just stood there. In Origins I prefered to stick to Leliana (Because Zevran had no skills at lockpicking), Morrigan, either Alistair or Sten, and me. Morrigan took care of the healing. In Awakening I just used Anders, that elven hypocritical crazy woman, and Nathaniel. Never really needed Oghren and even if he's fun, I prefer practicality.
