Dragon Age II, Part 2: The Qun is pretty deep, you wouldn't understand it.

Tried playing my no-mage in the party play through for change.

...and immediately hit prick wall in fight that included credible amount of enemies and an assasin. Just can't see a way to deal with those without a mage in the party for long duration CC. I can only imagine mage mobs would be even harder.

Funnily enough, Templars can handle both of those... okay... with the use of Holy Smite.
