Support NeoGAF

[Draugoth]

Dragon's Dogma 2's Trickster is one of the most unique classes ever seen in an open world action RPG. It's a support vocation that fights by literally tricking its foes into careening off ledges, or leaping straight into traps, or by powering up its party of AI controlled pawns. Find out more in our Dragon's Dogma 2 Trickster Vocation Breakdown.

The trophies associated with this class are going to be hell, guaranteed

 

[Aion002]

That's a really cool and unique class.

 

[NeverYouMind]

That is quite possibly the most boring class I have ever seen in an action RPG. A pacifist class in a power fantasy... What the hell were they thinking?

 

[Luipadre]

Damn what a cool class

 

[R6Rider]

Such a weird, but interesting vocation. I think the hybrid vocations that are part trickster will be very cool.

Everyone has their own play style. Just because it's not for you doesn't make it bad. Only mad.

Small correction.

This is not your "forever alone" Dark Souls experience.

More and more this is looking like GOTY for me

Looks neat but I wonder what their highest level skills and playstyle will be. Support only is obviously great with other people but here you'll be relying on Pawns and their AI (and learned knowledge) to carry the bulk of the damage in encounters without environments to help out. I'm thinking this game's versions of actual big badass monsters like a Hydra or Ur Dragon. I have faith in Itsuno but I hope it doesn't wind up being a vocation you max to get it's fantastic Augments and then shelf it because it's substantially weaker/slower than everything else.

Look potentially really interesting and unique. I'd be very curious to see what the full range of abilities are and what the impact of different armaments will be.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

It'll be fun to mix this up with another vocation for sure. Definitely my most anticipated title for the year. Bring it on!

 

[roxya]

Seems like something I'd play if there was a co-op mode but just supporting my pawns? Not sure about that.

 

[Fbh]

Definitely one of the more unique classes I've seen in an action RPG as of late.
That said, IMO support classes are only really fun when playing with other people. Playing support for you AI party doesn't sound that fun IMO

And remember this is the vocation with only its basic core skills and early vocation skills. I bet this is only scratching the surface of Trickster.

Plus the IGN guy didn't use the skill that lets you put your decoy inside an enemy so the aggro of all the other enemies go to them, which could be very broken if used against a boss with lot of mobs. There's a lot of possibilities with Trickster since he can basically control the battlefield whatever the way they want.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Seems like a nightmare for boss fights where most of those skills are useless.
