Aim for the head.

[Without hesitation, though not a joke. To elaborate:]

Darkspawn don't stop coming unless you put them down totally. Head's the fastest way, especially because they can heal anything that's not fatal, sometimes within a few minutes. I've less direct experience with the Venatori, but as far as I've heard, they're mostly human. Fanatical, and sometimes quite powerful, but still vulnerable to the same things most of us are.

Most mages here can give you the basics of magical combat, though I've probably fought more Darkspawn than most who aren't Wardens. Wardens know much more, of course, but they aren't great for teaching non-Wardens how to fight Darkspawn, unfortunately. They have access to tools the rest of us don't. But I'll teach you what I know, if you like. Even if you've no plans to be on the front lines, some basic self-defense is sensible.
