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.
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.
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.
@@FightinCowboyeven when I ask for help right under a dragon that mage runs in saves my ass and runs out. Argent Tonic is good on a second mage but they hardly cast it.
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.
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.
I think maybe in early levels it is useful... I honestly wish they didn't even add this spell, I think it is a waste. They should have just allowed the boosting of Anodyne, making it the super big healing bubble, when you got it enhanced in DD1. I'm not sure, but I think the ring of Amplification does boost Anodyne's healing too. My Mage Pawn has never been hit when he runs up to cast it since he's got High Palladium on anyway, but the game is so disappointingly easy I never saw any problems with him running up to put Anodyne on lol. I also wish they made Empyrean do nice burst damage, more so damage on undead/demons of course, and then just did a small potency dot as the light lingered.
@@PrinceArtemis Yeah, problem with some of super strong skills and combos in general is that pawns have no clue how to use them. You need to equip them with idiot proof skills, not necessarily the best skills

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.
I've noticed the Kindhearted inclination uses Frigor defensively. My pawn says "let me protect you" or something like that, she runs towards me and casts a wall of ice right in front of me to put something between the enemies and me.
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.
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. 🤔
Not at all related to this video, but I just (am a warrior) hit a griffin in the head while I was riding it in the sky and it fell, used rearmament and used the fighter ability where you jump and stab then fell from the sky and landed on its head, killing it. Was awesome
From my experience with a major pawn, best bet is to run full support or run all three elements with a strong support move, essentially an offensive mage or a support mage. Also def and mag def up for you augments is very good, the magic increase from sorcerer is only 30 magic attack.
I think it's important to have at least one offensive skill and the event that it's up to your mage to save you, there's a pretty funny clip from Dan's gaming on Twitter that shows this exact situation and why you always need at least one attack
this game would be fucking perfect if i could still use abyssal anguish on a magic cannon and absolutely shred shit. ill never get over the mystic knight being scrapped
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.
I played Mystic Knight in DD1 and that shit was a mistake lol. I would put like 3-4 orbs down and just start attacking while I watched my FPS on console dip to like 5 FPS lol
@@Rain1i agree; I’d WAY rather have a bow, but I keep that skill specifically for harpies, but it’s actually quite useful against a variety of enemies. Try it on goblins and bandits, them finish them off when grounded.
I like to have both heals. The kit heal is pboae, forcing the tank to bring all the enemies to your healer. I set my mage pawn with cure, heal, lightning and cold affinity. 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
One addition: You would want the mage to have the elf language specialization. You can acquire it by maxing out affinity with random elves in the arbor.
Honestly you should make a guide for augmenting pawns based on their role. Finding the right skills on a pawn is far easier than finding the right augments. 90% of the pawns I look at have crap augments.
Yeah I totally understand some of the criticisms to an extent but people are being so over dramatic and bitchy it’s embarrassing, they’re really living up to the “Gamers are angry” trope.
Fightingcowboy wouldn't high celerity help with transversal making it easier to get around fast? Instead of using it for combat, but having it for getting places quick or retreating?
Then your sacrificing combat usefulness for a small run speed boost outside combat and I'm not sure if you can force your pawn to trigger that consistently
It doesn't, because the AoE is kinda small and the other pawn AI doesn't really work with it. If you want to reapply it, you will also need to stand still and wait for your pawn to catch up and cast it again, losing the benefit it just brought you altogether.
@FightinCowboy if you hit help whatever healing or buffs they have they will use, but you are right on the combat side. I was just wondering how you had felt about it and did it make much difference without it. I'm only level 16 mystic spearhead right now coming out of being a thief and I think I'm gonna replace her spell then :)
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.
@@KrytoRift 2k Rift Crystals in the Pawn guild in Vernworth for a specific trait or 500RC for a "random trait" i personally suggest just grabbing the 2k one
Great video. I'm almost there. I just need to make a few random tweaks. I'll also have to let her play as a warrior for a bit. She's only been a thief and mage so far. I'll also 100% agree with you about the harpies. They suck.
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.
I think High Celerity also reduces the charge time of weapon skills so it's also good for warriors (like an aoe Gale Harness from DD1). Probably doesn't help mystic spearhand though.
Levin, Palladium, Celerity, and either Halidom or Solemnity are how I spec my pawn. Affinity is a trap, I only hire thief pawns with Heaven's Key and also use it myself on my Arisen (warfarer), so there's no need to lose a slot just for that. Same goes for Paean, the combination of ungodly slow casting followed by a further loss of time recovering from the knockdown and zeroed stamina is just too huge a drawback. One thing to note -- Levin's a really good spell, but if you have it on your mage then don't hire a sorcerer with it too. Spell syncing isn't particularly useful for Levin, yet they seem to prioritize this over everything else whenever one of them starts to cast it. Let the mage cast Levin and let the sorcerer stick to Augural Flare and Meteor/Maelstrom etc.
I just maxed archer for my PC and switched my fighter pawn to a thief. I’m now the fighter but I was thinking about turning the pawn into a mage for a bit
I run flare when playing sorc but havent seen pawns combing it with other skills so it ends up being reliant on you being a quick attacker to get the nuke
@@FightinCowboy flare seems to work better when a pawn uses it rather than a player... the pawns seem to target it more often if a pawn was the one that casted it... most likely the pawn share the same ai when it comes to which spot on the monster to target so the ai pawn knows where to put flare ect. the problem however is they rarely choose to actually use flare if you do give it to a pawn.
from playing dd1 i was doing 1-10 mage 10-200 sorc, but now I know that's not the way anymore haha, great vid I know you said you won't be doing every vocation but is one you are doing trickster? that and spearhand interest me but i've seen no good breakdowns of trickster Update: I used trickster and I'm honestly obsessed such an interesting class
@@kurtcobane1762 I like it a lot more than I expected to. I like watching my pawns from above, my pawn will launch me, I can very quickly enchant them and then go for big spells. This is fantastic as I learn the game but when I get hit, it is HARD. Lol I switched to sorcerer, my favorite from 1 and then went back very quickly. I will give it another go but for now, we have a good flow and I just want to explore.
I main trickster maxed out with end game gear now I’m getting augments to build around trickster def level up ur censer and get dragons delusion you can stagger just about any boss doing that
Also the main skills I use is suffocating shroud, aromatic resurgence, binding effigy, and dragons delusion. You don’t really need to use the floor or wall stuff that’s too situational lol also I keep my summon on me while I’m running you’ll get jumped alot while adventuring that way I don’t get surprise attacked
Lightning is pretty good as pure damage element against targets with metal armor or wet enemies. I still need to try a Sorcerer with Maelstrom to see if that makes enemies wet. Or maybe freezing an enemy and unfreezing it with fire could work.
In first DD there was a mechanic that pawns prefered to use the top-most skill they have. If this works in DD 2 would the spellhold prioritize the top-most skill? Or will the pawn use the top-most buff when ordered to "help me"? I will test this myself but u could have more insight after playing more than me. Great vid!
As a thief, Celestial paen in my pawn is very important because I can spam blades of pyre while formless feint is activated and any boss just died before my mage pawn collapsed 🤣🤣
Ive heard the stats from verve and sagacity are just not worth it, probably more so late game. I think for a mage they could definitely use another augment there like mettle for defense Also you really glossed over a few skills that have more utility. Celerity is a great tool to have simply because you have to walk almost everywhere. Argent succor is also a target spell with good range. In a pinch this spell can be invaluable because it's utility outshines anodyne
its like unimportant but do you know why your ares morpho is black? i got one from a side quest and its more blue-ish. YOu remember where you got yours ?
Argent Succor is to good because the pawns do not run to Anondyne. This stops my mage from running up to the warrior and thief pawns and try to heal them during a drake fight 🤣
Can you give more information about the different personalities and what they do/don't do? Claims are that you actually train your pawn with your actions but others claim it's really just their chosen personality Can you also actually explain the different stats and just how much they matter? People out here talking about 'best in slot' but when I look at the stat of 2 different chest pieces it's like "do you want 245 defense or 240 defense"... umm... how much does that 5 points even matter?
When I completed the quest SpellBound, the girl only gave me the Meteor master spell. But not Celestial Paean. I gave her the 5 correct books and not the forgery ones. Any idea what happened?
I understand Battahli enhancement (strength & defense increase) on equipment since most enemies are physical, but why not Elven (magic) on mage weapons?
Holy, shit. Dude, I just made a party of all mages, different styles, and abilities. Obviously, but I I just recently put it together, and it made everything ridiculously over the top easy. It's not Fun to play if you enjoy the challenge. However, for those who would absolutely want to try it It's disgusting on how powerful it is.
@@FightinCowboy I was gonna say thank you so much for a super fast response!! I have been guessing it might have been the distance. I rarely made it. 😅 I still couldn’t get it right. I am working on an Ice Magic rogue kinda gameplay. With Drench arrow, frigor, and run up twin fanging the boss. Spamming attack and use Gut and Run (forgot the name) lol to retreat. The downside is there is no defensive or good AOE skills for big mob 😂
Two things here: (1) The rings that decrease cast time stack, so I see no reason not to simply use two of those. Using a ring slot to increase magick by a mere 50 is a waste when you can make them cast everything even faster. (2) You say that for weapon "Dragon's Nous is a no-brainer," but really, Legion's Might is second-place in terms of raw magick, AND it makes your mage immortal. If they die, they just resurrect themselves. To me having a slightly lower magick stat is worth it for that effect. Just a pain to collect the Seeker's Tokens is all.
@@FightinCowboy If you go the Elven route, Nous ends up at 704 magick versus Legion's 660 (slightly ahead of Necrotic Shriek at 652). I say Elven because Mage might be the one class in the game that doesn't benefit much from Dwarven upgrades; it's mostly a support class and doesn't really need the extra knockdown stat, whereas for everything else better knockdown seems like the way to go over a miniscule main stat difference. Anyway, I'd rather have an immortal healer than one with 44 extra magick stat. Still seems to heal just fine. Are you noticing the difference with attack spells like Levin? I suppose it's always possible that the Nous has some sort of hidden property that can make it more effective, this game isn't one to surface such things. Also, it's unclear to me how much actual difference these stats make at high levels, there just doesn't seem to be good info out there yet on the practical effects of, e.g., 950 magick vs 1,000. How much more powerful does that make you in practical terms, like percentage-wise increase? But I'm also not looking for my Mage to do damage... I've been playing Magick Archer which damages fine, and the other big damage dealer in my party is a Sorcerer with Meteoron and Flare, both of which delete large monsters pretty quickly. I'd rather my Mage focus on pure support rather than split attention with underwhelming attack spells (underwhelming compared to most other classes for damage). But to each their own! There seem to be a lot of viable options.
I haven't used Legions so it's hard to say, but my Mage has over 1000 mag with Nous and the levin hits like a truck for sure. I get the appeal of Legion but farming for the tokens kills my desire for it lol. Although it's also more experienced based, I find the mage is usually the last party member to go down between pawns. I dunno if it's just a result of subtlety or what but everyone is getting nuked before her despite he having only ~1000 health with the ring she's wearing reducing it. Liliana regularly runs in to pick up downed pawns and bringing em back for a res like it's saving private ryan or something
@@FightinCowboy I agree that at the start collecting Seeker's Tokens is awful. However, when you unlock the Trickster augment that plays a sound whenever you're near one and makes them periodically flash (the augment is called "Detect"), I'd dare say the tokens actually become sort of fun to collect, because you just have to get in spitting distance and the sound will alert you that there's one nearby (it also gets louder and more frequent the closer you get). Not really necessary to refer to a guide at that point, which is a pretty soul-crushingly unfun thing to have to do for such collectibles. I wish this functionality was simply the default behavior rather than something you had to earn/equip, though it certainly fits with this game's ethos. Also, I think the reason that Mages tend to survive longer, besides Subtlety reducing aggro, is that Palladium gives the Mage casting it three charges, while everyone else only gets one. At least I'm pretty sure that's how it works, I've noticed the charge being gone after one hit. Anyway, if you have both staves available, which I'll grant many players won't, it does seem to simply come down to whether you care about the 44 extra magick when you're already over 1000, versus the special Legion effect. And again, I simply don't know how much that extra magick matters, practically speaking. Maybe it's actually a lot. But until someone demonstrates that utility, I'll take the immortality!

So I figured it out after paying close attention to the very start of the video. Looks like you need to get your main pawn to play those vocations to unlock those augments to be used. I thought if you unlocked them yourself on your main character they would transfer over to your main pawn 😅
Cowboy do you think there's any reason to have a Sorcerer pawn at all? I'm playing a thief, and I have a Fighter(main pawn), Archer, and Mage as my pawns right now.
If your main is sorcerer then having a sorcerer will make longer spells cast faster. If you’re playing melee then sorcerer will compliment you too as a long range damage dealer. Sorcerer is just one of the best if not the best damage dealers in the game with meteor and maelstrom.

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.
I've noticed the Kindhearted inclination uses Frigor defensively. My pawn says "let me protect you" or something like that, she runs towards me and casts a wall of ice right in front of me to put something between the enemies and me.
Palladium and Solemnity are a massive must-have for me when looking for Mage pawns. Extremely useful especially when you want to run a smaller team.
High celerity is great when running distances around the map
I've restarted the game 3 times just because it's soo good I don't want to to end
This was a massive help, thank you. Keep making dogma 2 videos like this!!
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.
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. 🤔
someone rented my pawn when she was in her mid-30s and they gifted her a Dragons Nous that was fully DragonForged what a Wonderful gift!
Not at all related to this video, but I just (am a warrior) hit a griffin in the head while I was riding it in the sky and it fell, used rearmament and used the fighter ability where you jump and stab then fell from the sky and landed on its head, killing it. Was awesome
What's the pawn ID she's looking awesome
If you want this you can use mine PAWN ID is XBLO3RFMRNG9 Also I pretty sure if your friends with me you can get it for free so feel free to add me
High palladium is so broken its amazing, i see it as mages defensive skill like a dodge roll.
Ya ,a must have when I employ mage pawn.
The lightning mine spell from sorcerer also makes a very satisfying stationary anti anything especially harpies zone
Deploy the stationary taser! XD
Celestial Paen plus the Medusa bow is amazing
Perfect timing cowboy! I just changed my main pawn to a mage before I saw this video.
“What is happenin’ y’all..”
Always fun to hear 🙌🏻
Can we get other classes? This video was absolutely brilliant
From my experience with a major pawn, best bet is to run full support or run all three elements with a strong support move, essentially an offensive mage or a support mage. Also def and mag def up for you augments is very good, the magic increase from sorcerer is only 30 magic attack.
I think it's important to have at least one offensive skill and the event that it's up to your mage to save you, there's a pretty funny clip from Dan's gaming on Twitter that shows this exact situation and why you always need at least one attack
Thank you for this guide. I feel like alot of kids are all over the place... buy this we well thought out. Thanks bro.
this game would be fucking perfect if i could still use abyssal anguish on a magic cannon and absolutely shred shit. ill never get over the mystic knight being scrapped
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.
I played Mystic Knight in DD1 and that shit was a mistake lol.
I would put like 3-4 orbs down and just start attacking while I watched my FPS on console dip to like 5 FPS lol
@@Rain1you have a literal pull on thief, bring them down lol
@@hua.. which requires you to take up one of four skill slots. You could just use the bow before in dd1. No skill slots required
@@Rain1i agree; I’d WAY rather have a bow, but I keep that skill specifically for harpies, but it’s actually quite useful against a variety of enemies. Try it on goblins and bandits, them finish them off when grounded.
I like to have both heals. The kit heal is pboae, forcing the tank to bring all the enemies to your healer. I set my mage pawn with cure, heal, lightning and cold affinity. 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
One addition: You would want the mage to have the elf language specialization.
You can acquire it by maxing out affinity with random elves in the arbor.
Why is that? Does it give you anythink special?
Honestly you should make a guide for augmenting pawns based on their role. Finding the right skills on a pawn is far easier than finding the right augments. 90% of the pawns I look at have crap augments.
Cowboy, leading the charge on all Dragons Dogma 2 news!! Its great to see someone who isn't negative and enjoying the game. Keep it up! ❤
Yeah I totally understand some of the criticisms to an extent but people are being so over dramatic and bitchy it’s embarrassing, they’re really living up to the “Gamers are angry” trope.
Fightingcowboy wouldn't high celerity help with transversal making it easier to get around fast? Instead of using it for combat, but having it for getting places quick or retreating?
Then your sacrificing combat usefulness for a small run speed boost outside combat and I'm not sure if you can force your pawn to trigger that consistently
It doesn't, because the AoE is kinda small and the other pawn AI doesn't really work with it. If you want to reapply it, you will also need to stand still and wait for your pawn to catch up and cast it again, losing the benefit it just brought you altogether.
@FightinCowboy if you hit help whatever healing or buffs they have they will use, but you are right on the combat side. I was just wondering how you had felt about it and did it make much difference without it. I'm only level 16 mystic spearhead right now coming out of being a thief and I think I'm gonna replace her spell then :)
Killing it man! Keep it up and thanks.
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.
I love how ice affinity went from being useless in dd1 to the champ in dd2
Can I respect my pawns? I didn't know about the kindhearted trait. I went with straightforward as I thought it just affected their personality lol
Yes
@@bappo2693 awesome thanks!
@@KrytoRift 2k Rift Crystals in the Pawn guild in Vernworth for a specific trait or 500RC for a "random trait" i personally suggest just grabbing the 2k one
I used the metamorphosis cuz that way I can test out all the voices as well before I pick a new inclination
Great video. I'm almost there. I just need to make a few random tweaks. I'll also have to let her play as a warrior for a bit. She's only been a thief and mage so far.
I'll also 100% agree with you about the harpies. They suck.
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.
The speed buff really helps with running around though. But once you get Paean, that’s a swap for sure.
My only beef with the dome heal is that it's never near you. Wish I could have the target heal as a replacement for the dome.
Cool video! Will equip the ice affinity. Playing as an archer, Harpies never concern me. For the other vocations, aerial combat can be tricky.
I think High Celerity also reduces the charge time of weapon skills so it's also good for warriors (like an aoe Gale Harness from DD1). Probably doesn't help mystic spearhand though.
i run celerity with my Magick Archer and I'm pretty sure it increases the lock-on ticks speed
Staying loyal to Matt & Shane's Secret Podcast I'll be trying to utilize DRENCHED as much as possible
Last place I thought I’d see a MSSP reference. Hell yee god speed fellow dawgs.
@@JohnSmith-se7pp we out here👌
Yesssss
nice dawg
Levin, Palladium, Celerity, and either Halidom or Solemnity are how I spec my pawn. Affinity is a trap, I only hire thief pawns with Heaven's Key and also use it myself on my Arisen (warfarer), so there's no need to lose a slot just for that. Same goes for Paean, the combination of ungodly slow casting followed by a further loss of time recovering from the knockdown and zeroed stamina is just too huge a drawback.
One thing to note -- Levin's a really good spell, but if you have it on your mage then don't hire a sorcerer with it too. Spell syncing isn't particularly useful for Levin, yet they seem to prioritize this over everything else whenever one of them starts to cast it. Let the mage cast Levin and let the sorcerer stick to Augural Flare and Meteor/Maelstrom etc.
Thank you for this man I am so lost on how the hell to build these characters I play way to many souls games 😂
Can’t thank you enough for this vid Cowboy.. making my pawn now!
Perpetuation only extends buff to the person with augment, not everyone else.
Great Video! I may have missed it, but did you happen to mention which inclination is best for the Mage Pawn?
Kind-hearted
Thanks for the videos! Have been enjoying the streams.
I went with legions might for weapon on mine as it gives your pawn the ability to revive themself when immobile.
I know Fighter is a more popular pawn than Archer so maybe Archer pawn guide after that one?
I just maxed archer for my PC and switched my fighter pawn to a thief. I’m now the fighter but I was thinking about turning the pawn into a mage for a bit
any chance we'll see a sorc build vid anytime soon? great vid btw man. thanks for making actual build content for this game.
Hagol, one or both ultimates, and then either levin or thunder mine imo
@@FightinCowboy what.... no flare? the most broken OP skill in the entire game?
I run flare when playing sorc but havent seen pawns combing it with other skills so it ends up being reliant on you being a quick attacker to get the nuke
@@FightinCowboy flare seems to work better when a pawn uses it rather than a player... the pawns seem to target it more often if a pawn was the one that casted it... most likely the pawn share the same ai when it comes to which spot on the monster to target so the ai pawn knows where to put flare ect.
the problem however is they rarely choose to actually use flare if you do give it to a pawn.
Great video! Question, where did you find the uniters mantle?
First time you visit the mad sovren it's in a chest.
from playing dd1 i was doing 1-10 mage 10-200 sorc, but now I know that's not the way anymore haha, great vid I know you said you won't be doing every vocation but is one you are doing trickster? that and spearhand interest me but i've seen no good breakdowns of trickster
Update: I used trickster and I'm honestly obsessed such an interesting class
Same. I am still a mage at lv 25.
@@AmySorrellMusic how you liking it? You yourself the mage or your pawn? I made my pawn the mage and they seem way stronger than dd1
@@kurtcobane1762 I like it a lot more than I expected to. I like watching my pawns from above, my pawn will launch me, I can very quickly enchant them and then go for big spells. This is fantastic as I learn the game but when I get hit, it is HARD. Lol I switched to sorcerer, my favorite from 1 and then went back very quickly. I will give it another go but for now, we have a good flow and I just want to explore.
I main trickster maxed out with end game gear now I’m getting augments to build around trickster def level up ur censer and get dragons delusion you can stagger just about any boss doing that
Also the main skills I use is suffocating shroud, aromatic resurgence, binding effigy, and dragons delusion. You don’t really need to use the floor or wall stuff that’s too situational lol also I keep my summon on me while I’m running you’ll get jumped alot while adventuring that way I don’t get surprise attacked
I don't see anybody talking about what skill you should dragon forge
Timely and helpful. Thanks.
Lightning is pretty good as pure damage element against targets with metal armor or wet enemies. I still need to try a Sorcerer with Maelstrom to see if that makes enemies wet. Or maybe freezing an enemy and unfreezing it with fire could work.
Maelstrom does not drench enemies. It's a tornado not a rain cloud. There's no water associated with it.
affinities are meh imo cause you lose out on single target heal. pawns often wont run into Anodyne unless it was used by me
In first DD there was a mechanic that pawns prefered to use the top-most skill they have. If this works in DD 2 would the spellhold prioritize the top-most skill? Or will the pawn use the top-most buff when ordered to "help me"? I will test this myself but u could have more insight after playing more than me. Great vid!
As a thief, Celestial paen in my pawn is very important because I can spam blades of pyre while formless feint is activated and any boss just died before my mage pawn collapsed 🤣🤣
Ive heard the stats from verve and sagacity are just not worth it, probably more so late game. I think for a mage they could definitely use another augment there like mettle for defense
Also you really glossed over a few skills that have more utility. Celerity is a great tool to have simply because you have to walk almost everywhere. Argent succor is also a target spell with good range. In a pinch this spell can be invaluable because it's utility outshines anodyne
Yup. I'll end up pinning a comment soon with a new set of augments and updates to this.
High celery is more useful if your main character is a sorcerer 🙌🏼
Fashion is top tier Cowboy. Where’d you get the cloak tho? Looks great.
its like unimportant but do you know why your ares morpho is black? i got one from a side quest and its more blue-ish. YOu remember where you got yours ?
Argent Succor is to good because the pawns do not run to Anondyne. This stops my mage from running up to the warrior and thief pawns and try to heal them during a drake fight 🤣
Can you give more information about the different personalities and what they do/don't do? Claims are that you actually train your pawn with your actions but others claim it's really just their chosen personality
Can you also actually explain the different stats and just how much they matter? People out here talking about 'best in slot' but when I look at the stat of 2 different chest pieces it's like "do you want 245 defense or 240 defense"... umm... how much does that 5 points even matter?
Calm is good for backline, kind-hearted good for support, straightforward for aggressive attackers, simple is well rounded for almost anything
Great Video. Do you have a similar one for a Fighter tank pawn?
well made video man thank you i learned a lot
Spellbound quest can be bugged, you won’t always get the spell from it

Is there still a way I could get the bolide skill from Tyrah? She just gave me a ring maybe because I was short 1 tome?
Can you do a video that showcases all skills and magics that are new in this game and not in the 1st game?
I understand Battahli enhancement (strength & defense increase) on equipment since most enemies are physical, but why not Elven (magic) on mage weapons?
I wasn't aware of enhancement differences at this point, should be elven for sure
Holy, shit. Dude, I just made a party of all mages, different styles, and abilities. Obviously, but I I just recently put it together, and it made everything ridiculously over the top easy. It's not

Where do I get a ring of recitation from?
Does elemental affinity get affected by the magick stat? What exactly does its elemental dmg scale to?
I'm a sorcerer who's done the light in the candle quest. and my pawn hasn't reached max rank. Will I still be able to get Celestil Paeyn for her?
Cowboy! I’d like to ask something. How do you make frigor leaves platform consistently? Most of the time it didn’t leave a platform for me

I completed the Spellbound quest, and I didn't get the Celestial spell. Maybe I have to go back and talk to the grandmother again..
Just try letting her approach you.
Two things here:
(1) The rings that decrease cast time stack, so I see no reason not to simply use two of those. Using a ring slot to increase magick by a mere 50 is a waste when you can make them cast everything even faster.
(2) You say that for weapon "Dragon's Nous is a no-brainer," but really, Legion's Might is second-place in terms of raw magick, AND it makes your mage immortal. If they die, they just resurrect themselves. To me having a slightly lower magick stat is worth it for that effect. Just a pain to collect the Seeker's Tokens is all.
Is it actually 2nd? I feel like its 1/2 the power of Nous. Tho agree it's a pain in the ass to collect
@@FightinCowboy If you go the Elven route, Nous ends up at 704 magick versus Legion's 660 (slightly ahead of Necrotic Shriek at 652). I say Elven because Mage might be the one class in the game that doesn't benefit much from Dwarven upgrades; it's mostly a support class and doesn't really need the extra knockdown stat, whereas for everything else better knockdown seems like the way to go over a miniscule main stat difference. Anyway, I'd rather have an immortal healer than one with 44 extra magick stat. Still seems to heal just fine.
Are you noticing the difference with attack spells like Levin? I suppose it's always possible that the Nous has some sort of hidden property that can make it more effective, this game isn't one to surface such things. Also, it's unclear to me how much actual difference these stats make at high levels, there just doesn't seem to be good info out there yet on the practical effects of, e.g., 950 magick vs 1,000. How much more powerful does that make you in practical terms, like percentage-wise increase?
But I'm also not looking for my Mage to do damage... I've been playing Magick Archer which damages fine, and the other big damage dealer in my party is a Sorcerer with Meteoron and Flare, both of which delete large monsters pretty quickly. I'd rather my Mage focus on pure support rather than split attention with underwhelming attack spells (underwhelming compared to most other classes for damage). But to each their own! There seem to be a lot of viable options.
I haven't used Legions so it's hard to say, but my Mage has over 1000 mag with Nous and the levin hits like a truck for sure. I get the appeal of Legion but farming for the tokens kills my desire for it lol.
Although it's also more experienced based, I find the mage is usually the last party member to go down between pawns. I dunno if it's just a result of subtlety or what but everyone is getting nuked before her despite he having only ~1000 health with the ring she's wearing reducing it. Liliana regularly runs in to pick up downed pawns and bringing em back for a res like it's saving private ryan or something
@@FightinCowboy I agree that at the start collecting Seeker's Tokens is awful. However, when you unlock the Trickster augment that plays a sound whenever you're near one and makes them periodically flash (the augment is called "Detect"), I'd dare say the tokens actually become sort of fun to collect, because you just have to get in spitting distance and the sound will alert you that there's one nearby (it also gets louder and more frequent the closer you get). Not really necessary to refer to a guide at that point, which is a pretty soul-crushingly unfun thing to have to do for such collectibles. I wish this functionality was simply the default behavior rather than something you had to earn/equip, though it certainly fits with this game's ethos.
Also, I think the reason that Mages tend to survive longer, besides Subtlety reducing aggro, is that Palladium gives the Mage casting it three charges, while everyone else only gets one. At least I'm pretty sure that's how it works, I've noticed the charge being gone after one hit.
Anyway, if you have both staves available, which I'll grant many players won't, it does seem to simply come down to whether you care about the 44 extra magick when you're already over 1000, versus the special Legion effect. And again, I simply don't know how much that extra magick matters, practically speaking. Maybe it's actually a lot. But until someone demonstrates that utility, I'll take the immortality!

Amazing video, thank you!
I’m having an issue where I can’t put on other augments from other vocations on my mage. Is anyone else having this issue?
So I figured it out after paying close attention to the very start of the video. Looks like you need to get your main pawn to play those vocations to unlock those augments to be used. I thought if you unlocked them yourself on your main character they would transfer over to your main pawn 😅
Cowboy do you think there's any reason to have a Sorcerer pawn at all? I'm playing a thief, and I have a Fighter(main pawn), Archer, and Mage as my pawns right now.
Two sorceror’s dual casting, maybe.
If your main is sorcerer then having a sorcerer will make longer spells cast faster. If you’re playing melee then sorcerer will compliment you too as a long range damage dealer. Sorcerer is just one of the best if not the best damage dealers in the game with meteor and maelstrom.
Sorceror is the magic damage god my sorceror pawn is constantly dropping massive meteor strikes that basically takes 1-2hp bars of bosses by itself
