About to play this game for the first time, what’s the most fun class to play

Strider if you wanna go fast. Honestly all of them are fun except maybe mage. Sorcerer on the other hand is a ton of fun

WOLVES HUNT IN PACKS

Ranger, Magik Archer, Assassin
t.bow loving fag

anyone know the way to gran soren?

just a hint: when you get to the ox cart escort mission, kick that motherfucker to make it go faster

Is Assasin a good choice? Just starting this as well. I'm asking both in terms of efficiancy and how fun they are to play.

Literally the most OP class in the game. If you want endgame to be a breeze, play assassin. You dont even have to min-max anything.

Assassin gives you the greatest STR stat gain per level. It's very efficient, but it's not so fun when you can do everything alone.

Aren't you supposed to play on normal or something due to balancing issues a la S.T.A.L.K.E.R.??
>I want to play this game

if you play on hard you'll be doing no damage and you'll get killed by goblins. play through the story on normal, then consider bumping it up to hard for new game+

think i've seen some anons mention hard mode is hard at the start, but enemies give buttloads of money and exp in hard mode so the difficulty doesn't last long

Hard mode gives you shit tons of money and experience. You'll get one shot at the beginning of the game until a certain point, then you'll steamroll everything. Keep in mind that hard mode only increases damage taken by you and lowers your damage output, the other 3 pawn you hire won't change so the game isn't really harder or anything, it's actually way easier due to much faster leveling and shit tons of gold.

>cheating on your pawnfu with hired pawns
dont do this.

>play assassin
>equip augments that increase damage when travelling alone and at night
>equip force hatchet for and additional double damage
>4x conquerors periapt
>1 shot everything with my bow using eagle sight

That's only before the patch when they capped damage multipliers to something like 2

Never heard of that, source? The only thing I know they changed is the original 50% increased damage when alone and at night being nerfed to 25% in Dark Arisen.

dragonsdogma.fandom.com/wiki/Exhilaration
>In Dark Arisen the total cumulative increase in Strength and/or Magick from Augments is limited to 80% total (i.e., 1.8 times)

There's no source for this though, but the comments seem to agree.

be a loli warrior
get a tall brown amazoness pawn with white hair who is also a warrior
only hire cute girls

>loli warrior
enjoy your much smaller sword and shorter range and hitboxes.

>prepare for half an hour to land that one epic arc of deliverance
>miss by an inch because you're a femalelet
FUCKING FEMALELETS WHEN WILL THEY FUCKING LEARN

I think it looks relatively bigger.

weapon size scaling to height is probably DD's only flaw
I wanted to be a little girl with a giant sword

it's femlet bro
and you should only do arc of deliverance when an enemy is knocked over and you're right up in their shit so you shouldn't miss as a loli or a superior shota

I tested it and the size of the sword is relative to the body size and the hitbox on the sword is also relative to the sword size so you should always make the tallest character if you want to plays as warrior.

strider/fighter/warrior if you want to have fun
archer if you want to play a fps
mage/sorcerer if you want to watch cool cutscenes

>shota
>superior
I remember when a loli pawn was the top rated pawn when the game came out for PC
it wasn't a loli though

If you're going to minmax, go for assassin. Dork.

warrior

That has nothing to do with minmaxing. Having a bigger sword means you can hit flying enemies much easier, you can hit enemies that are further away from you with that 360 wipe attack and it makes it easier to land evey attack in general. It just makes warrior more viable and less boring.

You need to play all the classes and max their ranks before you decide on playing one class or you're going to fucking hate the game.
You need to unlock everything before you decide on maining one class. You can use perks and skills from other classes to make one class better.
If you play one class the whole game, you're a stupid retarded, unimaginative shitter, and you will not experience the full power of that one class and you will be bored wanting more out of it.
Play all the classes, max them and buy all the skills before deciding on one.
Or not, be a retard with shitty stats and shit moves.

>lowers your damage output
No it doesn't
Or at least not directly, your offenses stay the same and enemies don't get any more hp or defenses, but their stagger resistance goes way up and your stamina regen goes down. Depending on how you play that can definitely decrease your average damage output, but if you're chugging mushrooms/liquid vim anyway it doesn't amount to much

>Loli warrior
Enjoy not being able to hit shit with your shit fucking reach.
Goddamn, it's like making a loli packmule.

>he doesn't like the added difficulty on top of being a warrior

Hard doesn't lower anything.
It increases enemy knockback resistance of and your stamina usage.
Staggered enemies take more damage, so it you might feel like you're weaker but really things are how they should be.

>Warrior
>Hard
I can solo BBI as one on hard, that's not hard. Just gotta skip magic enemies. Literally just spam light attack. Shit staggers everything

I would say strider and its off shoots. It's the one that really let's you be constantly on the move and play to the combat's strengths the most.

didn't they remove the guts/griffith armor/weapons? Any good alternatives?

They're all crazy fun in their own ways, do what you like. I was fully expecting Archer to suck because most games don't do much for ranger style classes but I was pleasantly surprised.

Fighter chad is the way to go. Fucking Dragon Maw is great for killing drakes and hordes of enemies that surround you. Plus you have a shield which is pretty useful.

The stat scaling blows in this game. You either take 30 minutes to kill something or absolutely steamroll it. There's a very slim stat window where the game actually feels balanced.

>get to bitter black isle
>get to bosses and regular enemies that require extreme magic damage to even hope to defeat

why didnt they tell me it was mandatory to get your magic stat up? theres no way my pawns are even remotely capable of dealing with this shit and my magic stat is so low i do no damage

god damn this shit is retarded

the grind for cursed weapons suck. save before you identify things and reset if you don't get some good weapon.

>first time playing
>always like to make an older knight character, mystic knight seems right up my alley
>get of level to change to it, get a mace and shield
>shield stays firmly nailed to your back most of the time
Bummer.

The ghost armor was the only BBI enemy that I felt gimped against for not having magic damage.

Does this run well enough on a ps3?

15 fps lol. Get it for literally anything else.

Define well enough. I played at least 2000 hours on the PS3. It's not the worst thing ever but definitely not for everyone. It runs at 20fps and letterbox.

cumming on selenes feet!

They shut down pawn servers for ps3 a while ago, even if it ran well you'd be better off on PC or the newer platforms

I think ps3 servers are still up and it's just 360 servers

if you are going the 2 hander class make sure to get a mod that lets you use 6 skills, also if you are gonna use magick archer get a mod that fixes the stat growths so you arent pumping magic defense and forced to level as sorcerer so you do more than laughable damage

don't listen to anyone here, run assassin for your first playthrough.

Attached: 20190307122410_1.jpg (1920x1080, 291K)

if you start the game on its hardest difficulty then there is no other choice than warrior with a healer companion. You can change classes later on.

We're probably gonna get dragons dogma 2 soon now that dmc5 is done.

I like your optimism, user.

Playable with significant drops from stuff like Magic Cannon, but if you have even a moderate pc from the last 5 years it'll probably run a lot better

Start with mage, swap to sorceror when you can, and play sorceror up to level 80-100 then swap to magick archer for the most fun experience

itsuno flat out said he wanted to make it, then said "now that dmc5 is done I have to work on something else *smiles*"

i got as far as the dark bishop or whatever and i cant do fuck all against him because my pawns are useless

fighting eliminators was hell too because once again if you aren't a mage yourself you have to rely on pawns which are beyond retarded and completely incapable of even fighting those ghosts that appear at night let alone an enemy like eliminators

havnt played since that experience desu

Assassin is the strongest class, and has the most variety in what they can do

I always recommend people try Magic Archer because that sort of playstyle is pretty unique among action RPGs.

He said the same thing about Rival Schools 3, but I imagine Capcom would prefer a DD sequel given how well MHW has performed.

Not the giant beholder?

>mfw warrior is objectively the worst class

Attached: maxresdefault.jpg (1280x720, 146K)

well the difference is before he started on dmc5 capcom told him he could make either dmc5 or dd2. I doubt they'd now say "okay itsuno we know you wanted to make dd2, and mhw did great and dmc5 is doing great as well, but that offer is gone. you can no longer make dd2 that was a timed offer, make x instead"

Is that really as deep as it gets?
All the classes are boring at level 10.

Why do you have to rely on a mage against Eliminators or the bishop?
They can be tough fights if you aren't playing an easy mode class, but they're very doable
youtube.com/watch?v=svYloAFvjMw
Ghosts are dumb and probably shouldn't exist, but you can just ignore them 90% of the time, and magic tomes and innately enchanted weapons make it doable if tedious

keep in mind you can switch vocations at any time and the game motivates you to switch vocations to get augments from each(can be applied no matter your current class). You should have fun with all of them and then settle with one later.

but as a person that played the game a shitton, I can tell you the following:

>most active, movement heavy, good deeps
strider, no question. Brain Splitter is absurd, and with instant reset you'll be a living chainsaw that never stops moving.

>most broken late game
Magick Archer. Permanent x4 Demon's Periapts(Magick Rebalancer) and a perfect set of abilities that are hard counters to every BBI enemy(ninefold, explosive volley, ricochet hunter) is just disgusting. Boring to play, though.

>highest deeps if you have the patience of a saint
Mystic Knight. Abyssal Anguish is a ridiculously good buff, but it runs out in 30s and takes 10s to cast so it's a bit annoying. Magic counters are fun but kinda worthless, great cannon is a bit boring so don't spam it too much

>pawn only
Fighter, Mage. Fighter has some cool stuff, but there's really no reason to not just play as an Assassin. Mage has nothing to save it.

>wish it was fun
warrior.

>holy focused bolt
Sorcerer

>most versatile
Assassin. Can equip sword, shield, daggers and bows and has some fun tools. Has the minmaxer's stat growth too, so a few levels with it is good.

>farming daimon
Ranger

Magick Archer is fucking boring

Strider or Magic Archer. Or combine them

>About to play this game for the first time, what’s the most fun class to play
fighter
make your whole team fighters and enjoy the game

Warrior/Fighter, everything else is easy mode

Which ever one you like the most. Warrior is the weakest but people who like it swear it's the most fun.
Personally, i prefer Mystic Knight because I like the more methodical play style.

You were fooled by Yea Forums the game is shit and I will explain why:

>No indication of where roads lead
>No hint to what enemies are weak to
>No hint of when enemies are alone or in groups
>No warning to avoid status effects
>No clue to which items are masterworks

I don't know how people defend this game.

Is dragon dogma 2 coming out next year?

remember, you stats increasing differently depending on which class you play. like assassin has the best strength growth, warrior has the best heath growth, sorceress has the best magic growth etc. dont bother being mystical knight or magic archer until you somewhere at level 100 and leveled up your stats since those class has absolute shit stats growth.

Has anyone tried World Difficulty 2.0 yet? Released this month and looks a whole lot better than 1.0.

my favorite is the ninja or whatever rogue/thief double daggers it's called, cuz you can jump and do a SUPAH SPIN like sonic and it keeps rolling untill you hit the ground, so you can go BRBRBRBRB from the the to the toe of a giatnt, pretty epic

Attached: h29nksmvaki11.jpg (1136x640, 40K)

remember that stats aren't that important as it mostly comes from weapons so min maxing isn't needed at all and you should just play whatever class you like rather than worrying about playing a mage for 100 levels so you can then start "enjoying" magick archer

also getting wet all the time in bbi.

Maybe sometime next decade if we're lucky

enjoy not having the best skills for your favorite class.

Haha no. Even if they decide to make it it would only be starting development sometime between now and 2020, probably have a 2-3 year dev cycle, get delayed twice and then come out in 2025

assassin

perhaps i was just underleveled or something because i found myself doing barely a tiny fraction of that amount of damage with physical weapons, it probably would have taken an hour whittling away at an eliminator to kill it while in the rare instance that my pawn actually cast a good spell and actually hit it would take a reasonable chunk out

Most OP and most boring class.

THE WIND IS PUSHING MEEEEE

damage calculation is simple but kinda dumb

after resistances are applied, defense is applied directly, so if you deal 500 damage and the enemy has 499 defense you'll deal 1 damage

if you get an upgrade and deal 700 damage now, you'll deal 200x more damage

Your first BBI run should probably abuse periapts against bosses or special enemies because you may just be unable to pierce their defense at all. When you get lvl 2 or lvl 3 bbi weapons the situation changes a bit. Either that or use more attack boosting augs like Autonomy(20% more when solo) or Exhilaration(35% when at less than 33% hp)

Based. Inexcusable game design.

Thoughts?

But Dire Gouge though

*resident evil 7 started development in 2012, not 2013. My mistake.

itsuno was working on dmc5 and dd2? no, he'll be starting dd2 now, so 2023 if we're lucky. or maybe a bit sooner as they're getting more used to the new engine, but definitely not next year

roughly the same DPS as thousand kisses, and much lower dps than strider with hundred kisses(because lmao innate +50% damage on climbing)

They work on titles at the same time. Besides since they’ve more experience with the new engine they would have a easier time developing.

Can you apply the dodge skill to other Vocations with the dinput mod? A rolling Sorcerer sounds like it could be fun.

this game is terrible
I can't fathom as to why it's so popular around here

I tried, didn't manage it. You can only share vocation-exclusive weapon skills with another vocation that can use that weapon.

Best I could manage was using Great Windmill on 2x Great Cannon. Lots of bullets.

>needing to roll dodge
>not just manually sprinting and parrying everything
Never gonna make it

Attached: IMG-20160707-WA0000.jpg (480x515, 47K)

ur terrible

Also from some researching. Resident evil 7 started development soon after res6 release, by 2013 they had a prototype that played similar to resi6 but they rebooted it the same year, probably because they saw Outlast and wanted something similar. Then they greenlighted monster hunter world in 2014, dmc 5 in 2015, and I believe dragons dogma 2 in 2016. I also believe they’re getting their economies of scale right and probably greenlighted new games in 2017, 2018 and 2019 excluding the resident evil remakes/remasters. Capcom is unironically becoming efficient and producing good products. Imo

intimate gambit sucks, the recovery frames are often so long that you'll get hit by another enemy. The best way to avoid damage with a sword only run is FMS.

That's a shame. Are there any other recommended mods besides /ddg/'s updated Pawn Manager?

You know what I love about fighter
spamming dragon's maw

not that I know, I only use dinput.

Swift Fortress is how you dodge with sword and shield.

he was talking about sword only.

>weather mod never ever
That one scripted bit of thunder at Bluemoon Tower is such a tease.

And then you get to the bosses like that one giant fucking eye or that zombie priest which constantly floats with his dragon and you are fucking useless as you pull your hair out looking at your ranged pawns doing literally nothing.

You know what I like about Fighter?
Getting Sinew and Vehemence and then switching to Magic Archer and lighting myself on fire

you seem bitter and angry
it is friday my guy
chill down

Instant reset is the best skill

it really is. This game's knockdown animations are so fucking long I can't live without it anymore.

assassin is nerfed in dark arisen.

the augments were, but that doesn't matter because augments are global.

fun ranking:
fighter > assassin > strider > ranger > mystic knight > warrior > mystic archer > sorceror > mage

power ranking:
strider > mystic archer > ranger > mystic knight > assassin > fighter > sorceror > warrior > mage

yeah, maybe in DD2 they will get some kind of range option.

still the strongest class by far, daggers counter is ridiculous

>Thinking Standing around and waving a stick is better
>Thinking Shoot a dragon with flimsy sticks would be better

Getting into the thick of the fight is what a real arisen would do you two just have shit taste and need to rethink your choices

That power ranking is wack
It should be something more like
Ranger > Sorcerer > MA(BBI) > Strider > Assassin > MA(Gransys) > MK > Fighter > Mage > Warrior
10Fold Flurry with blast arrows is the most damage you can do in the game
Holy Focused Bolt is very nearly as good, just not quite as spammable so even if it does more damage outright it doesn't kill the tankiest enemies quite as quickly
Mage at least has Comestion and Grapnel, which are very good, Warrior doesn't do anything better than any other classes.

Strider has more dps than sorcerer

Could be, I was just assuming fivefold wasn't as good as HFB, I haven't tested it or anything.
If you're talking about brainsplitter or kisses I'd argue that the time it takes to physically approach the enemy counts and would probably make up the difference

mages also have holy focused bolt mate

It entirely does make up for it
test it out sometime with all the physical attack augments and the jumping attack augment

>didn't roll MK
you fool.
Casting shit takes too long and last so little sometimes.

That's true, I tend to just ignore them since why would you ever play a mage over a sorcerer
They don't have as much magick as sorcerers since staves are crap compared to archistaves but probably still around assassin

Except I did, cause I was getting pissed at playing a Fighter in BBI.

Which sucks because I enjoy the Fighter more than the MK, but it's a fucking chore.

Train your pawn my man
for my fighter and warrior playthrough I made it to where my pawn would always spam holy affinity bolt attacks so ranged was not an issue

still very powerful, I occasionally use holy focused bolt even on my mystic knight

All roads lead to Gran Soren

Throwblasts can do severe damage to any enemy and are an effective way to deal with physical/magical immunes if you lack one damage type

Items that cast spells can be very effective as well

it's still fun

you can also just fuck around until he summons a portal under you that spawns a massive tentacle.

You can then just go under him and he'll poke his own eye out, stunning him for a huge amount of time. You can then just spam throwblasts if you're weak(the game coincidentally gives you just about the exact amount of throwblasts you need to beat him in the room before the boss) You can beat him as a level 12 mage.

This looks fun as fuck.
Going to make a loli warrior right now.

Any warrior tips?

Attached: 1551763888845.jpg (1280x720, 110K)

Jump attacks are your friend

That's gay as hell.

following this, Strider has an augment called Eminence that boosts strength by 30% when jumping. You can grind out strider for a bit(rank 5 aug) and get a good boost for warrior since the jump attack is so good.
