Interested to see how the switch works. I figured there’d be some custom class thing based on stuff Hideaki Itsuno has done in other games he’s done sequels for. But I didn’t think I’d work quite like this. I just figured some Vocation Skills could cross different similar types of weapons, and when they revealed in this game that all Vocations would just be one weapon that you could mix and match two Vocations to have two weapons like the Strider class from the first game. But this looks like you can cycle through everything. I guess it could just work like cycling through weapons in Devil May Cry 5.

Given the new info on Vocation Master NPCs, I think it might be possible there's still vocations in the game that haven't been shown and they're keeping it as a secret for people when they actually play the game and explore it.

So is there any reason not to pick Warfarer considering you can make whatever class you like with it?

From the DD2 website:
“The Warfarer’s lower base stats require them to utilize the situational strengths of different weapon types to be on par with other vocations with specialized strengths”

Seems like a very easily overcome restriction unless we're talking like -50% to everything which will lead you to getting one shot by random goblins.

Considering the gulf in stat gains between vocations in the first game, I wouldn't be surprised if it's meant as an endgame option after you've already gotten your gains in and can fit in a role. Probably meant more for letting you combine magic bows and meteor swarms than phys and magic classes together.

Only idiots fell for the doomposting faggots claims that the game would only have 9 vocations

It seems like a "jack of all trades, master of none" class
So while yeah you can use abilities from all other vocations, you probably won't be able to use the strongest of them
Plus considering the fancier borders, I bet this is some kind of late-game or even post-game vocation

Wheremst is the Mystic Knight. Seems Itsuno made a funny mistake and forgot to have it included here haha.

People are saying that stats are no longer shared between vocations so your level 10 warrior will always have the same stats no matter in which vocations had been playing previously. So the warfarer will always have weaker stats than the other vocations.

They talked about this in the video before last. You don’t just unlock Vocations anymore like in Dragon’s Dogma. You have to do things to get them now.

 

[Dodo1610]

Even the starting vocations must do quests for their master to unlock the strongest skills. I am grateful Capcom is fixing my biggest issue with the first one, which was that it always felt too much like a singleplayer MMO with its questboards and huge exclamation mark above quests NCPs, instead, they are going for a more immersive design than most western RPG are delivering these days.

I saw that - for the Warrior vocation you had to find a weapon artifact and bring it back. But I doubt stuff like Warfarer is going to be that simple.

 

[HoboForEternity]

Well duh, people who think the one they have revealed sre gonna be the only ones in game are dumb. Obviously they want to keep secret.

This just mean either we have 3rd tier of vocations (look at the "frame" of the icons, there are obvious "progression" in the decoration design from simple, to decorated to gilded).

These vocatins probably are those unlocked specially trough quests/the meisters or it is simply combining all the colors (red, green, blue produce white, and in line with sword , bow and staff)

Whether we have 3rd tier for every combinations is doubtful but it's obvious there are at least 5 more (advanced green, advanced yello, green/yellow, et )

Who knows if purple and pink have its own basic vocationa

Impossible to minmax stat

Or hopefully it works like crystal project or other similar FF V class system. Changing class change a modifier on your stats , but not everything. If you level up mage and change to warrior you will get slight boosts but isnt higher than "native" warrior chars

Warfarer makes me think that because this seems like the "final ultimate vocation" that they would show off last. I hope I'm wrong though. More is better. I never played DD online but the one who could jump around in the air seemed fun from the videos so I hope there will be something similar here.

 

[Machocruz]

DD's time has come. This is going to hit big and establish it as one of the It series. No one can deny the footage shown so far. The rest of the world will realize what we already knew. There's ideas that are past overdue, the industry has progressed little past the 90s when it comes to presenting medieval fantasy adventure, other games are like museum displays, static relics. Physics, movement, interactivity, style, spirit, etc., everyone else is still at the Oblivion level in comparison to DD2. Things other games only describe in text, these games show you in real time.

New trailer reveals a new vocation and the calamitous dragonsplague illness.

Ken MendozaPromotion Producer, Capcom
Hi PlayStation Blog readers! We are very excited to share the newest trailer for Dragon’s Dogma 2 revealed today during State of Play. In this article we will be diving deeper into some of the information revealed in it: the brand new Warfarer vocation, the vocation maisters, and the mysterious dragonsplague.
Play Video

Introducing the Warfarer vocation​

Wield a greatsword, chant high-level magick, and deceive enemies with illusions. The Warfarer is a vocation that allows you to engage in combat while switching between the weapons of other vocations.
The Warfarer is a vocation exclusive to the main character, the Arisen. Warfarers can use all weapon types and learn the core skills of all vocations. It is the “ultimate vocation,” so to speak. Some vocations excel at close combat, or are skilled at support, and the Warfarer can utilize the strengths of each vocation as the situation demands. The Warfarer has the potential to release powerful combos, such as using Trickster skills to deceive enemies and open opportunities to chant powerful attack magick.
However, the Warfarer is not an all-mighty vocation. Their basic stats are not high, and they must carry many weapons in order to use their various skills. They will require the player’s skill to exploit strengths in different situations, or else the vocation will remain a lesser version of each of the respective vocations.
Only those who have honed their skills and adaptability will be able to bring out the full potential of this vocation.



Create an ice platform with your archistaff and attack the enemy with a greatsword. It is up to the player to connect combos utilizing different weapons.

Vocation maisters​

Around the world of Dragon’s Dogma 2, there are vocation maisters, who have mastered their respective vocations.

Lennart, the Fighter vocation maister: a swordsman with remarkable combat and leadership skills.

The vocation maister for the Mystic Spearhand, Sigurd. He wanders from place to place seeking out dragons
As you deepen your relationship with vocation maisters and earn their approval, they may grant you special tomes that will allow you to unlock new vocations or acquire skills known as “maister’s teachings”. Can you find all the vocation maisters?

The Maister’s Teaching for the Archer, Heavenly Shot. This fires an arrow of maximum power in exchange for consuming all of the player’s stamina.

Wild Furie, the Maister’s Teaching for the Mystic Spearhand. Creating a double out of magick, it allows the player to deal both magick and physical damage.

Dragonsplague​

Dragonsplague is a contagious disease-like status that infects Pawns under certain conditions. While affected, the Pawn’s basic stats will improve and their behavior will change. It spreads among Pawns on their travels between worlds, and in the early stages of the illness, the afflicted Pawn won’t fall ill, but rather displays abilities and confidence that exceed what they would normally have. In the later stages of the illness, however, the dragonsplague is said to result in devastating calamity. There is little information on dragonsplague in this world, and its veracity is questionable, nor is it clear what the devastating calamity refers to.
It seems to be a rare illness, but if someone in the party is unnaturally bossy or overly active, they may have contracted dragonsplague. Should you look for a cure? Or will you see it as a positive boost to their strength and continue your journey? Again, the decision is up to the player.

As the illness advances, the Pawn’s appearance seems to be affected.
That’s all for today, thank you for reading! You can pre-order the Standard Edition or the Digital Deluxe Edition of Dragon’s Dogma 2 now at PlayStation Store. Dragon’s Dogma 2 will release worldwide on March 22.
