Dragon’s Dogma 2 sees the return of Vocations from the original game and an array of new introductions to freshen up the sequel. With a variety of choices, combat will constantly feel varied and fresh, regardless of whether you’re fighting your first cyclops or your 20th.
All Vocations/Classes in Dragon’s Dogma 2
The Vocation system in Dragon’s Dogma 2 consists of four basic Vocations that you’re able to choose for yourself or your Pawn at the beginning of the game and six advanced Vocations that you can unlock during gameplay.
Basic Vocations
The four starting Vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2 are as follows:
The base Vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2 cover all of the usual grounds one would expect in a high-fantasy medieval world regarding combat choices. You have your usual melee class in Fighter, magic in Mage, and a ranged class in Archer. There’s also the Thief class, which is a fast duel-wielding combat style.
Advanced Vocations
There are six additional advanced Vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2, which include new additions to spice up the combat.
In the advanced Vocation category, you will find your usual advancements from Fighter to Warrior and Mage to Sorcerer. you’re able to also run as a hybrid magic/melee and magic/ranged class with Mystic Spearhand, and Magick Archer respectively. These two hybrid Vocations are only available to the Arisen and so yourPawnwill not be able to take advantage of these.
Other classes include the Trickster, which seems to be an advancement to the Thief class of sorts, as it focuses on illusions and similar tactics. As well as the most intriguing introduction, the Warfarer class. The Warfarer class allows the user to use any weapon of their choosing, which means that they can swap between classes on the fly. This could provide advantages depending on the situation the Arisen finds themselves in. Again, these two Vocations are only available to the Arisen, and you will not encounterPawnsin the Rift with them.
Dragon’s Dogma 2’s Vocations are varied. With combat being a focus of the game, players have plenty to choose from and are sure to find a Vocation, or even multiple, that fits their playstyle and needs.
