Dragon's Dogma 2 - Ultimate Class Guide! Which Vocation Is The Best？ (Dragon's Dogma 2 Tips)

Hello, welcome back to a new video. So

Dragon's Dogma 2 just released and it's

one of the best fantasy RPG games that are

out right now, and I wanted to make a

video about what kind of classes, or

vocations as they're called in this game,

you should pick if you're just starting

out in this game. Now first of all, I want

to say don't worry, it doesn't really

matter too much which one you pick because

you can change your vocation later on in

the game and it's not too difficult, but

it will take a couple hours of gameplay at

least, maybe until you get further into

the game. You won't be able to change your

vocation straight away, so make sure you

choose one that you're comfortable with

playing from the beginning of the game so

you don't have to either wait until you

can later change your vocation, or maybe

you'd have to restart the game if you

really hate what you've chosen. So we're

going to talk about the different classes

in this game. There's 4 main classes that

you get presented with in the beginning of

the game. So first of all, you've got your

typical Fighter, basically a warrior.

Fighters battle their enemies in close

quarters wielding a sword and shield.

Their mighty attacks and counterattacks

allow them to cut down enemies. You've got

the Archer, the Mage, and the Thief. It's

pretty self-explanatory. Archer has a bow

and arrow, ranged class. Mage does magic.

Thief is like a melee character with dual

wielding weapons, daggers, short swords,

and with a of like stealth mechanics and

sneak-up attack mechanics. So in this

video, we're going to be focusing on the

Fighter vocation because that's the one I

chose, and I think it's my favorite kind

of class to use a more tanky character

with weapons and a shield. It's just more

my kind of playstyle. Maybe your playstyle

is more magic or ranged, but I think we're

going to go for the Fighter. So as you can

see, we got a shield and a sword, and the

main attacks are the Impale, which you do

by pressing V and your basic melee attack,

and you've also got a charge-up kind of

charge attack if you hold Ctrl and then

left mouse button. So I found the Impale

ability to be pretty good. It can also

stab enemies when they're on the ground,

and you can basically one-shot them like

this with a fancy animation. Does huge,

massive damage, and yeah, it's a pretty

good attack. A bit slower than your main

attack, but it does more damage, and you

can also do the finisher attack. So like I

said earlier, if you hold Ctrl, you can

also do like a charge attack, which is

good if you want to close distance between

you and the enemies. Now the only downside

between— by using the Fighter vocation is

when you go up against these flying

enemies, they can be kind of annoying

because you don't really have any way of

bringing them down. So you really need

some ranged pawns in your team to take

those down, or If you don't have any

ranged attackers, then you just have to

basically wait until the Wyvern flying

things come down and try and attack you,

and then you can attack them back. And

they're pretty easy to knock out the sky,

and then you can just one-shot them using

an Impale once they've been taken down.

So they're kind of annoying because they

will put you to sleep like this, but

you'll just get woken up by your team

members, so it's not really too much of a

big problem. One of the cool things you

can do in Dragon's Dogma 2 as a melee

character or a fighter is you can actually

jump onto big enemies and climb up them

like you're playing Legend of Zelda:

Breath of the Wild, like you're climbing

up a mountain but you can climb up the

enemies. Uses stamina, so as you're

climbing it drains your stamina bar, and

then if you get near the head you can do

some really good damage if you just spam

either your main attack or Impale. I found

Impale does pretty good damage if you're

near the head area and just stab them

repeatedly in the brain. I think ideally

for realism's sake that should one-shot

them, but be kind of lame if you just

one-shot a big boss like one of these

troll things. But it would be funny if you

can just like stab them in the brain,

they go down. So yeah, you can jump. What

you have to do is you jump and press E.

If you just press E, you start trying to

push them. I don't think you can push

something this big when you're a tiny

person, but I guess against smaller

enemies you can push them around if you're

a tanky, beefy character. And you have to

be careful because you might get tossed

off the back of them if they do some kind

of defensive move. And then, yeah,

fighting these big enemies, definitely

climb up them. It's an easy way to avoid

being damaged while also doing massive

damage yourself. One of the best things

about being the Fighter is you do have

tanky defensive abilities. Like, you have

the shield, you can block enemies, and the

good thing about the blocking ability is

it kind of automatically blocks attacks

coming from any direction. You don't

really have to manually aim the shield at

the enemy or the direction that the attack

is coming in. You just hold down the right

button and the attacks just get blocked.

Now it does drain quite a lot of stamina,

so sometimes I just prefer to spam my

attacks instead of bothering to block

because this seems kind of pointless when

you can just attack them straight in the

face and counter them and spam attacks and

stun them before they can do anything back

to you. So instead of waiting and

blocking, just spam Impale and attacks,

and most enemies go down pretty easily

like that. So yeah, the Fighter vocation

is a pretty good vocation, but you want to

make sure you got some healers and magic

classes in your party so they can help you

heal. Or you could just go like all

Fighters in your party if you find that a

good way to play the game. Yeah.

It's basically it, really.

Hold fast, Arisen. I will be with you in

but a moment.
