I don't find having my focal character just swinging a sword the whole battle to be all that interesting. Given that energy costs are what they are, I never felt like I could do very much with warrior or rogue, and most of what I could do was just punch things a little harder, which, honestly is not normally what you need from your PoV character. You can rig your teammates to do that just fine. Let the peons go fight while you lock down multiple enemies, heal your tank, and maybe land an AE. Crushing Prison is the single most broken skill in the game.

You can say, sure, I'll do that on Morrigan or Wynne, but Morrigan wastes a whole bunch of points on shapeshifter garbage and Wynne doesn't join your party until at least level 7. By a cruel twist, the Tower of Ishal is the single hardest area in the game just because your skill set is so lacking. It's especially punishing without a mage. (Depending on your origin, you might get a temporary mage, but he's pretty terrible.)

Also, the game has 2 rogue teammates, 2 mages, and about 8 billion warriors. They really are a dime a dozen.
