Dragon’s Dogma 2: All Classes (Vocations)

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Breaking Down All The Confirmed Vocations

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is set to launch on March 22, 2024 and brings with it some exciting new vocations (classes) for players to master. Vocations are divided into starting, advanced, and hybrid categories, with a total of 10 vocations confirmed so far. While some vocations are returning from the original game, new hybrids like the Trickster and Warfarer will make their debut. This guide will cover everything we know about the vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Overview of Vocations

Vocations dictate the weapons, skills, and stat growth of your Arisen and Pawns. The Arisen can take on any vocation, while Pawns have restrictions. Vocations fall into three categories:

• Starting – Fighter, Mage, Thief, Archer
• Advanced – Warrior, Sorcerer
• Hybrid – Mystic Spearhand, Magick Archer, Trickster, Warfarer

Advanced vocations are unlocked through a quest, unlike the original game. The methods for unlocking hybrid vocations are still unknown.

Starting Classes (Vocations)

Starting vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2 include:

Fighter – Wields a one-handed sword and shield. Focuses on defense and drawing enemy attacks. Can unlock tanking and taunting skills.

Mage – Ranged magic user that wields a staff. Provides healing and support spells. Limited healing makes them valuable.

Thief – Deals quick melee damage with daggers and short swords. Focuses on mobility and consecutive hits over single blows.

Archer – Ranged physical damage dealer. Relies on multiple arrows over power. Skills improve attack speed and mobility.

Advanced Classes (Vocations)

Advanced vocations require a quest to unlock:

Warrior – Trades defense for pure damage. Wields heavy, two-handed weapons and charges powerful strikes. Gains AoE attacks.

Sorcerer – Ultimate magic offense. Wields archistaves to unleash devastating spells. Long cast times balanced by massive damage potential.

Hybrid Classes (Vocations)

Unique to the Arisen, hybrids mix melee and magic:

Mystic Spearhand – New vocation that blends melee and magic. Uses the duospear for physical and magical attacks. Gains crowd control abilities.

Magick Archer – Ranged magic dealer. Imbues arrows with elements and always hits targets. Specialized offensive spells.

Trickster – New illusionist vocation. Uses a censer to conjure illusions and manipulate foes. Can provide unique party buffs.

Warfarer – Choose three weapons/vocations and freely switch between them mid-combat. Jack of all trades class.

Key Takeaways

Dragon’s Dogma 2 expands on classes (vocations) with new hybrids like the Mystic Spearhand and Trickster. Quests now unlock advanced vocations instead of levels. Each vocation brings unique weapons, skills, and playstyles to master. With 10 vocations covered already, more may be revealed before Dragon’s Dogma 2’s release on March 22, 2024.
