Just a heads-up to people who haven't played DD1, the starter vocations aren't weaker than the advanced ones. They're all equal in power, at least it's intended that way

@Hailtothegun 2 ай бұрын

Essentially they're intended to be more user friendly and less complex, but no less strong.

@pokemonfan2630 2 ай бұрын

I think you will need to be quite good at the game for it to be worth going with any hybrid classes, looks like the base classes will be much easier to keep alive, thief archer and fighter will probably be the easiest to play.

@scottmerric2180 2 ай бұрын

The Hybrids really stood out in DD1, and I expect them to in DD2 as well

@thatonepenguinperson618 2 ай бұрын

As someone who mained Strider in DDDA from start to finish, it is FAR from being weak. It looks like in DD2, they're actually juicing up the starter vocations even more (since thief is just both assassin and strider without the bow). I'm hoping they give the Fighter a lot of the mystic knight's kit.

This is what I wanted to do but question is anyone knows. The spearhand is a fighter/magic, the thief is non of those. Does that matter? AM I starting over when i switch to spearhand or does the starting vocation not matter for the later vocations? My thought was, for example, if i want to play the warrior i start as the fighter and what I level up there transfers to the warrior. Whereas if I started archer and then went to warrior nothing would transfer and I would basically be starting over?

I think some stats will transfer like your strength points if you move from fighter to warrior.. But not all. Eitherways it should still be fine. Just more grinding

In DD1 i was using the Assassin, loved the combination of Fighter and Strider. Mostly used Sword and Bow in combination. But with that being not a thing in DD2 but instead some new things like the Trickster and the Spearhand, but also the Warfarer, things get a bit more interesting. Especially since the Strider got split up in Archer and Thief. Now i'm thinking about picking Ranger for myself and maybe Thief for my own Pawn and then add a Fighter/Warrior and a Mage by hiring other pawns to fill out my group with every Class-Archetype. But in the End i want to try and get the Warfarer Vocation to mix the Archer with Trickster and maybe Spearhand or something different like Sorcerer or even Magick Archer. But i'll definetly check out Spearhand and Trickster as soon as possible and see what they are like to play and if they are actually fun to me. Based on that my choice for Warfarer changes.

@Meme_dad1 2 ай бұрын

I believe the trickster vocation will be unlocked once you beat the UR dragon. All hybrid vocation are either magic/archer or knight/magic. The purple and pink icon makes me think it’s one of these classes that will get unlocked for ng+

@GrippeeTV 2 ай бұрын

Just a heads up that the “starter” vocations aren’t “starter” in terms of power. They’re very much classes that are just as strong as the advanced and hybrid classes, the advanced and hybrid classes are just harder to play. The Fighter isn’t inferior to the warrior. Hell in DD1, the Strider was one of the strongest classes in the game as opposed to its Ranger, Magick Archer and Assassin counterparts which is why they broke it up into Thief and Archer for this game lol

@Madchemist002 2 ай бұрын

I plan on ranking up every vocation to unlock every skill and augment, then play the rest of the game as a Warfarer. Atm, I think I'd use the weapons and skills of a Mystic Spearhand for melee, a Magic Archer for range, and either a Mage or Trickster for supporting my Pawns, but definitely a very magic focused build. Tho, once I see how each vocation plays out, that may change EDIT: So apparently, Warfarer will rank up all vocations at the same time. All the more reason to main it

@TheKingArmageddon 2 ай бұрын

Probably start Archer, try Trickster, and end up on Wayfarer just so I have options. After all the new vocations means Strider is now split between Thief and Archer neither having an advanced vocation. Magick Archer no longer has staff or daggers. Mystic Spearman looks like it lacks real Magic Damage (could be wrong but his Magic seems to be throwing physical objects), and Trickster will need damage in general. Might settle on either Sword/Bow/Staff or Spear/Bow/Censer Wayfarer.

Biggest issue with the Magic Archer is the inability to aim properly. Which is what makes the basic Ranger so deadly. Seems like 2 has the same issue. So I'll probably end up sticking with that again. The Spearhand is a fun new class. I might try that at some point, or give it to my starting Mage main Pawn. The Trickster seems terrible. Basically leaving all the fun to the Pawns & due to the nature of it probably being pretty useless or actively frustrating on a Pawn. The biggest issue with the first game was that levels gained with each vocation permanently increased specific stats. So if you played the entire game as a Ranger, you'd get a bunch of Stamina & not much else. Assassin only gave you Attack. You say the Warfarer has lower overall stats? Does that mean lower gained at level up? OR have they done what I want & made the stat spread change based on the vocation you have set? So if I go from Warrior to Sorcerer, my Attack would decrease, but my Magic Attack would increase?
