    Set forth on your grand adventure, Arisen!
    Dragon’s Dogma is a single player, narrative driven action-RPG series that challenges the players to choose their own experience - from the appearance of their Arisen, their vocation, their party, how to approach different situations and more. Now, in this long-awaited sequel, the deep, explorable fantasy world of Dragon’s Dogma 2 awaits.
    On your journey, you’ll be joined by Pawns, mysterious otherworldly beings, in an adventure so unique you will feel as if accompanied by other players while on your own adventure.
    All of these elements are elevated further through physics technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and the latest in graphics, to create a truly immersive fantasy world in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
    Wield swords, bows, and chant magick. The vocations in Dragon's Dogma 2 give you the ability to approach combat the way you want.
    Players can customize their own main Pawn, who will always accompany your Arisen, and enter a covenant with up to 2 additional Pawns from other players through the network.
    Beyond the town borders, you will encounter diverse monsters that inhabit the lands. You will need to decide between engaging in battles or finding alternatives; so be aware of your party’s setup, the terrain around you, and the monsters you face.
    Travelers, merchants, soldiers and other folk go about their daily lives.
    Preoccupied by their own objectives and motives, they all exhibit different emotions. At times, they may lead you to a quest by approaching you and asking for a favor.

    As more time has been spent I've further refined this. Here's the major updates:
    Weapon: Legion's Might. Slightly less Mag in exchange for self-res. Rarely gets used but worth.
    Rings: Ring of Loquacity (Silence Immunity), Ring of Recitation (Super Fast Incant in exchange for health)
    Augments: Mettle, Apotropaism , Endurance, Exaltation, Constancy, Subtlety, and probably Thew or Radiance. Sagacity isn't really worth at higher levels, and I've been informed Beatitude and Perpetuation only affect the Mage themselves.

      Beatitude and Perpetuation are worthless on the mage itself. They increase the healing and duration for healing and buffs *received* not the healing and duration of buffs used on *others.* So YOU need Perpetuation or Beatitude equipped as a player to benefit, not the mage casting the heals/buffs. It's very stupid but thems the breaks.

    @SpawnConneryHD 2 місяці тому +6

    I tested High Celerity a lot as mage, and it seems to not only buff movement and basic attack speed, but the overall speed of character animations. While it won't speed up the actual charge time of a spell or a Magick Archer charge ability since the charge time is tied to the charge itself and not the completion of an animation, it will speed up the start up/finishing animations of abilities. Because of this I found it super useful when using skills that have an unavoidable slow finishing animation, such as Levin and Frigor. It also seemed like it might have sped up stamina recovery, but that I'm not sure about. It's definitely a sleeper ability, quite strong IMO.

    Affinity was the first spell I dropped for my Mage pawn. Even the high version of them doesn't last long and it seems to be a high priority for Mage pawns so I noticed they spend most of the fight trying to keep Affinity on the whole party and ignoring all their other spells. And most, if not all, classes have some means of adding elemental damage to their attacks even outside of permantly enchanted weapons.

  • @zukuu
    @zukuu 2 місяці тому +37

    Argent Tonic/Succor is invaluable because of its range. You don't want your healer running up to you or the other melee classes to heal you when fighting non-trash mobs. It's also an instant big heal instead of needing to wait for them to run up, cast it and THEN only have a small HP reg when you are in danger. It's definitely a must have slot imo and the AI works really well between that and the normal AoE heal zone. It will often lave the zone for your range characters and use Argent for your melees.

      @DKarkarov 2 місяці тому

      Eh maybe. I have found pawns outside of specific commands (which maybe aren't always possible in the middle of battle) pawns just won't use it. Especially if multiple people are hurt, they will still use anodyne by AI because it "heals more faster" due to not being single target. That said the fourth skill is pretty much just flavor on mages anyway, so there is a lot of meh to choose from.

    • @mongodellango4732
      @mongodellango4732 2 місяці тому

      It is useful but mainly for other pawns if you want to keep them alive. Pawns are a lot smarter than they were in dd1 but if you hiring climbing pawns such as thieves or fighters they’ll stick to climbing despite being in need of a heal. Since I play a ranged class as my preference (mainly magick archer) I don’t want to put myself in harms way trying to revive pawns so argent succour helps keep them topped up before it comes to that. Since I’m also often far from the others whilst fighting such as on a cliff sniping it’s also beneficial to me on the rare occasion too.

    Great guide but only thing I'd think might be a good idea is swapping Beatitude for Diligence from fighter, if it works like it says then it could help the mage more quickly recover from celestial paean's knockdown at the end of the skill which means less time vulnerable and not casting skills rather than just a bit more effective healing. Haven't tested that skill and augment combo myself but might be worth it. 🤔

    I agree Ice Affinity is great but I would also run High Palladium, Argent Succor and High Halidom. Celestial Paen is an awful spell in my opinion because it can lock your mage into casting it when you need heals/buffs/cleanses then to top it off it knocks out your Mage for a bit or even draws someone away from the fight to your mage to help most likely bringing enemies to them, also if you aren't having stamina issues or manage it well the buff time and stam regen increase doesn't matter at all. Also items can restore stamina if you absolutely need it for an emergency, the spell won't always be up either.
    Having no High Halidom sounds like a bad idea .Unless you plan on having loads of potions etc for each character to cleanse themselves, which in the long run sounds like a pain to manage. This can be fixed by 1 simple spell, you're faster getting back out to adventure and ofc enjoy the game without ever worrying about debilitations.
    I also much prefer Argent Succor, if you're grappling an enemy and need a heal the standard heal won't help you but Argent Succor will, there are many situations where a targeted heal from any elevation is a massive advantage it's extremely flexible. It also helps not dragging your healer into melee to drop a heal on you.
    I agree about all your Augments but Knockdown resistance and Magicka. If she isn't using attack spells there's no point to magicka. Better off running Mettle and Vitality, Mettle to make up for the defense stats you're missing due to being a clothie with high mag def. Health is just an amazing Augment to have for moments of unavoidable damage.
    I run x 2 spell cast reduction rings since any additional magicka affects attack spells not your heals/shield or elemental buffs from what the tooltip says. Having one magicka ring on to help with 1/4 spells is inefficient I feel it would be better having your shields/cleanses/Ele buffs/heals on a low cast timer. Your mage has to maintain those buffs, while also spamming shields and heals when needed if anything gets through.
    A handy tip also is that if you press 3 ( Help command) your mage will start casting Argent Succor on you even if you're at full HP.
    I run a full support Mage, I have tried your build but it didn't feel good to me and this is what i discovered with it. As for harpies I play a Thief so I can pull them out of the sky with Ensnare/Implicate then power attack for a quick kill. I imagine pawns with that ability would help you a lot.
    This is just constructive criticism , I do like to min max. Love ya videos they're always good to have a good think about, peace.

Having 3 pawns running around poisoned all the time cuts your time of play away from a town or camp down. You main pawn should have a better cloak. Mine has a cloak with 8% ele resist to lightning and fire and 8 % to 4 debilitates

    You can acquire it by maxing out affinity with random elves in the arbor.

    I think you undervalue celerity, it speeds up literally everything. Move speed, attack speed, charge speed, incant speed, everything. Im not sure exactly by how much but it is very noticable, I would guess 15-20%. You can also use the help command at any time and your pawn will come up and cast it on you, making traveling much faster as well. It does also stack with the speed boost from holy praeon so having both will leave you speeding all over the place and attacking fast as fuck. With both of these buffs and me on fighter I can cling to a monsters weakspot and skewer indefinitely with significantly increased attack speed, it nukes everything with a static weakspot.

    Frigor/High Frigor (and caster-to-target ground spells in general) really suck for a pawn, if you're playing melee, especially in confined spaces, because the graphic fills your screen and makes it very difficult to see targets. This sucks in the open, too, although not quite as bad. For this reason I never choose to recruit a mage with these types of spells.

      @@ClawsOfLyco So I just tested with my level 69.
      Both mage vocation, pawn was leveled as Sorc/Mage almost full time, Arisen leveled as Mystic Spearhand, Warrior, Magick Archer, and lastly a bunch of Warfarer.
      The pawn has a base magick of 367 while the main only has 265. However, this is where it gets interesting.
      When adding gear into the equation, the Arisen has 759 Magick with a top tier stave while the pawn has 891.
      So despite the base magick stat having a difference of roughly 38%, once gear is added into the equation the difference was knocked down to 17%.
      Based on this we can infer that leveling does have an impact still, but I think that difference is low enough that I wouldn't let that prevent me from switching classes.

      Yeah it's really weird to me how they removed things instead of just adding things. I'm having fun playing the game but I'm sad about the potential it had.
      One complaint about vocations that I have is the Archer being just bow and arrow and the thief not having a bow at all.
      Whereas in the dd1 the strider the assassin and the ranger all could use both daggers and bows.
      Me standing around watching a harpy fly in circles over and over as I wait for it to finally come down is getting kind of tiring while I'm on my thief.
      It feels like they oversimplified the classes. They removed a number of spells too which made me sad as well. I guess dark arisen really did make a huge difference to the availability of stuff in the first game.
