Wynne Build Guide (Dragon Age: Origins) - B-Tier Guides

My Wynne build guide is finally here! Wynne is the support mage companion in Dragon Age Origins, so I focused on heal and buff spells for her build. Of course, you could always get more damaging spells on her if you'd like - I certainly do that in most of my playthroughs. Nevertheless, her build guide is quite different from Morrigan's as well as from my future Mage Warden guide. Hope you enjoy!

The recommended gear is also found below, as always.
