A big part of Dragon’s Dogma is deciding what vocation you’ll use, and that will also be true in the long-anticipated sequel. Different vocations (or classes) provide different abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Like any RPG, you’ll want to pick the right vocation for your playstyle.
All Dragon’s Dogma 2 classes
In Dragon’s Doma 2, your classes will be called Vocations. You’ll have six different vocations to choose from, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.
- Fighter
- Archer
- Thief
- Mage
- Warrior
- Sorcerer
- Magick Archer
- Mystic Spearhand
- Trickster
What does each vocation do in Dragon’s Dogma 2?
Fighter
A Fighter vocation sets gamers up to tackle their enemies with a sword and shield. You’ll be drawn to close combat battles, using your sword for swift and sharp strikes, all with the benefit of a shield to keep you safe.
Archer
For those who prefer a long-distance battle, the Archer vocation might be right up your alley. You’ll be able to rain fire from above upon your enemies and stay safe in the process. This also grants assistance to your teammates fighting in the mud.
Thief
A Thief vocation will use their speed to deal deadly damage to their enemies. Using daggers and harnessing your mobility will be your key strengths in this vocation. It’ll also provide a quick escape from enemies gaining momentum.
Mage
The Mage vocation will offer Dragon’s Dogma players the opportunity to launch magick attacks from afar and up close. They can also assist their teammates by enchanting their attacks and weapons, also healing if things start to go wrong.
Warrior
Fighters are melee-focused with a sword and shield, but warriors are melee-focused with a big sword. Or a big hammer. Warriors are bulky, tanks that are focused on wielding weapons much larger than themselves in order to deal massive damage with as few blows as possible. If you want to run headlong into the enemy with a greatsword that’s taller than you are, the Warrior is for you.
Sorcerer
While a Mage can definitely deal some damage, it’s more focused on supporting its fellow adventurers with buffs and healing. A Sorcerer, on the other hand, is pure, magical power. Their spells are enormously powerful, but that comes with a catch. All that power takes a bit more time to build up, so you’ll have to be very mindful of your positioning.
In Dragon’s Dogma 2, you’ll be able to recruit NPC companions called ‘Pawns’ that have vocations themselves. They can be Fighters, Archers, Thieves, Mages, Warriors, or Sorcerers. However, the vocations of Magick Archer, Mystick Spearhand, and Trickster are exclusively available to your player character. Otherwise known in Dragon’s Dogma 2 as the Arisen.
Magick Archer
This particular vocation provides players with long-range combat by crafting magickal arrows. Their strengths lie in creating attacks that cover a wide area, and on the flip side can heal their teammates with ease.
Mystick Spearhand
The Mystick Spearhand vocation is tailored for a gamer who likes to dabble in both close and long-range combat. You’ll be able to harness the power of the Duospear, dealing significant damage and sometimes paralyzing enemies in the process.
Trickster
The Trickster has a completely unique weapon known as the Censer. With this, you’re able to create illusions and conjure smoke to trick enemies. Additionally, the Trickster can provide allied Pawns with buffs.
With all these classes in Dragon’s Dogma 2, there’s a near-unlimited amount of styles to try out. Just try to keep your teammates alive too.
