Shoutout for making Dragon's Dogma content in 2022
one of the best RPGs ever
Really is lol just did a playthrough on my channel and plan to do the dlc at a later date
I just got it on Switch for like 7€, I'm not a big fan of the horrible graphics... but I still want to give it a shot.
I highly recommend it. Don't mind the graphics since it's a 12 year old game (fuck, I'm old)
@@nanox4825Lmao shouldn't have gotten a damn Switch if graphics mattered to you
Game looks fine on proper consoles, all things considered.
After completing the second installment, I'd wager that the original is better.
You see Warrior, I see Guts.
In the XBOX version you could actually collect Guts's raider armor and Griffiths Silver armor
Yea it was intentional, they took inspiration directly from berserk. But because of licensing issues they had to remove all the armour and weapons from the manga/show
Griffith!!!!
Autocrossbow where?
@@RoninSway14only on pc, you can still get them on consoles. Only guts and griffiths
Warrior is actually my favorite/main Vocation in Dogma.
It's so much fun, and I'm always glad when people actually pay it it's dues.
Another great guide. Can't wait to see the rest. Subbed.
Thank you kindly! I'm glad you enjoy the vocation, there's a lot to love about it! I'll do my best to get the other guides out as seamlessly as possible!
Cool edit and guide format, nicely done.
I just got this game today. I'm reading that everyone says Warrior is terrible.
I do not care. I see a big sword, then I like it.
Warrior is one of my favorite classes, especially because of the Longsword Saving Grace, just so beautiful
This vocation is amazing. I still can’t understand though why it can’t have 6 skill slots… Seriously though, if the mages staff can have 6 Why not the great sword?
Pommel strike into Whirlwind slash has been so much fun to use.
Wow, I just started playing this game a decade later! What an awesome game! Glad some people still playing it! Awesome video man, keep up the good work 🤟💪
Keep going man ! I love your videos, can't wait to see the restant classes ! (and the timing is perfect with the announcement of DD2)
Yeah I'd say I was pretty fortunate that these are now pretty in-demand with the sudden influx of new players after the announcement, it happened just after my Strider guide if I recall. Thanks for the support!
Corona slash is actually the warrior's best option for knockdown. Using jump lights to stagger or a pommel bash to break guard followed by corona to knock down. Helps the warrior fulfill it's role as the stagger/knockdown class since it has low damage output
Same. My basic loadout would often be Pommel bash, corona slash, and exodus slash for s. Ferocity, vehemence, clout, and eminence for those jumping mixups. Effective, if a touch boring.
Idk if I downloaded a mod that changed the balance, or if the swordsman armor from the berserk tie in is broken, but my warrior takes everything down with the indomitable slash
@@MemeLordCthulhu yeah, I suspect that most people who are complaining are playing on hard mode, which makes knockdowns so much harder.
I usually stay on normal with warrior, which allows me to bully everything.
@@boneman-calciumenjoyer8290 go full berserk and remind everyone why they call him "guts"
dude youre awesome, loving the videos and here hoping to see your channel grow more, maybe by the time dragons dogma 2 release your channel is gonna be the main dd channel everyone will look for for guides, memes and such, good luck dude, keep up the good work.
Great guides man, love seeing the DD community still alive! The EW background music is a nice touch as well
Been watching this whole series so far, loving the vids man! Keep it up, it's helping my playthrough for DD2!
Thanks a bunch! Hopefully Sorcerer shouldn't take too much longer!
@@ThiefofCrystals no rush! I look forward to it all the same 🙌
Excellent as always man great work!
After playing around with all the vocations I gotta say WARRIOR is my favourite non-hybrid vocation. Exodus Slash is crazy good and covers all your defensive needs. Then you have the Indomitable Lash that charges much faster than Deathly Arrow or spells, while dealing more damage per second and per hit. I'm not even sure what I like most for the third skill, because it doesn't matter thanks to the crazy good core moveset of greatswords and greathammers. It has great strong attacks, great jumping attacks, great light attacks. The follow up moves to exodus slash are great. Despite having less skill slots I feel like the variety of things I can do is greater. This class is a joy to play.
Loving this series of videos. 10/10, cant wait for Assassin
Came back here now that the DD2 gameplay has been revealed.
Very nice video, as a long, LONG time warrior main I approve! There are some things I want to note about warriors that I think some may overlook.
First is how staggers work against bosses: there are staggers and knockdowns respectively (as shown on your stats page with stagger and knockdown power as two separate stats). When a boss or larger enemy is staggered, they become weaker to all forms of damage, and it becomes easier to knock them down as well. When I say that they are weaker when staggered, I mean it! Think of it like instability frames from dark souls. A good example of this is when a drake is staggered, following up quickly with a hit to their heart guarantees a knockdown! Not only that, but that attack during the stagger will usually deal significantly more damage, I think around double! In this regard, pommel bash is an exceptional skill for warrior. Pommel bash does insane stagger damage, allowing you to stagger bosses to oblivion (pommel bash a drake's head, trust me). Another application of pommel bash is against garm: pommel their head one measly time for a stagger, them grappel their head super easy; hitting their head with grappel attacks causes more staggers, stunlocking them to death.
Second is a weapon many forget about due to its low damage: the stamina hammer. This weapon is amazing for a warrior main pawn. It causes them to draw unnaturally high amounts of aggro from all enemies, allowing all others in the party free reign to hit monsters. Combine the stamina hammer on your pawn with the utilitarian inclination and slot on war cry, pommel bash, the impact augment, and double barbed nails for an absolute machine of a support tank! Remember what I said earlier about stagger power being its own stat? Double barbed nails means that this pawn will just run up and stagger bosses with ease. Even if they don't stagger, they still will take all of the damage for you thanks to stamina hammer and war cry stacking on pulling enemies' attention.
This is fucking INCREDIBLE insight holy shit, thank you so much for sharing! Here's hoping plenty of folks see this because it's very valuable information (worded in a way that's easy to digest, I might add)
I always suspected that people were really selling Warrior short when claiming it was worse than other vocations and this only makes me believe it wholeheartedly. This shows how Warrior can honestly be an AMAZING addition to the team.
I'd put corona slash over indomitable lunge.
You're counting on the enemy to stay put while you prepare to charge and you need to aim it perfectly.
CS is an immediate action and you know where everyone is when you do it.
Met DD because of you, and I’m loving it! Nice work in your videos man, also as a die hard fan of both fighting and DMC games, I see this as a complete package !
Thank you friend, very glad you're enjoying! Seems we share very similar tastes haha!
@@ThiefofCrystals you’re welcome, keep the good content, and man I swear to god that every time I play I can hear your commentary regarding my lack luster first timer sucking gameplay, and also, STINGER FOR THE WIN, HYEIAAAHH!
I already knew all that but it was fun listening to you, keep up the good work 👍🏾
Now, I'll go chase my airp*rn enemies 🏃🏿
@@LordBovyn Hell yeah, that's all I can hope for! Good luck hunting those airp*rn foes friend!
Just bought the game cause of shadiversity’s video on it, couldn’t find any helpful info that didn’t say “Do what’s fun” or read through 82 pages of min/max stat charts.
You’re the first video that actually explains shit in a helpful yet understandable way. That has earned you a subscription.
Gonna check out any other of your guides on this game, if you haven’t covered it already, perhaps mystic knight next? Also a guide on crafting/gear/upgrading/etc. would be very helpful.
Looking forward to more of these guides.
I'm really glad you found this helpful! Since I already have an order going, next will be Ranger then Sorcerer, but after that will be Mystic Knight!
I'll certainly consider a guide on gear although that's a bit more nebulous and at a certain point can basically be put down to sheer preference since while you can absolutely min/max or utilize various unique boosts and boons, I wouldn't say it's imperative once you know the game and wearing whatever you feel like is just as valid at higher levels since your base power goes through the roof, same applies to weapons tbh.
Also, big confession time, despite literally thousands of hours put into it, I've never crafted once in this game lmao.
Underrated channel, keep it up. Subbed today, King
Thank you very much my friend! I will do my best, and hopefully my channel takes off someday!
I love your editing style
Loving the content man, i just got the game. abt 30 hours in and absolutely loving it! (coming from a Souls/MH background) Cant wait to see more guides and more content on this game!
Thanks so much! I'll do my best to get it out and available for everyone as swiftly as possible!
Just found your channel and after watching your 4 most recent videos I immediately subscribed. I'm a big fan of dragons dogma and there isnt much content out there for it. Your vids are great! Can't wait for the ranger and assassin videos.
Great Video man! Great choice of the FF7 Remake tracks :D
I caught the Endsinger theme in there. Subbed.
Warrior is great, just make sure you don't have both a fighter and warrior in the same party or you'll just end up standing around waiting for the other two guys to hit the flying monsters.
Just by the music alone I can tell you have excellent taste in video games.
;) Thank you kindly
Thank you! Awesome guide
You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed!
I have played all DD vocations and Warrior is my favorite along with Mistyc Knight. I love the feeling that he gives to fight against a cursed dragon, ogres, destroyers and stay on his feet no matter how many blows he gets. I love breaking through weak spots with the strength of a warhammer. I love the feeling of raw power and the sound of impending destruction of an Act of Deliberation. I don't care about DPS, I just want to feel like I can charge headfirst into a boss with the confidence that I'm a bulwark with a ten kilogram hammer and bonk through it
Seems I had a bit of an audio goof at the start here, first music track seems a decent bit louder than I realized, sorry about that! I'm noticing I'm also quieter in general here and in the last guide for some reason, gonna look into resolving that. This one was even more of a nightmare to get rendered than the last, might need to look at a new program here. That said I'm glad I managed to get this out as swiftly as I did, would have managed sooner but ended up busy with other things over the course of the week. Hoping I can keep knuckling down like this, but be aware Ranger may take me a little longer than this did! Thank you all so much for your patience and your support!
Great video, thanks for using my meme!
Thanks for providing it! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I'm a simple man, I see big sword and I'm happy.
Love the videos man
Much appreciated friend!
About time we had the beserker in games
Thank you so much for being right on top of the TH-cam search results. I just recently bought this game and I'm researching a little on the vocations. And this video was about three minutes of why I'm not going to like Warrior. I'm not saying it's bad, I just don't vibe with the pros and the cons would drive me insane.
Also as a Khajiit I'm contractually obligated to not be a fan of big clunky swords anyway
I'm proud to be there! And hey, that's totally reasonable, I'm 100% certain there's a vocation in here for you. I'll do my best to get the next videos out as soon as possible, I've been dealing with some very heavy stuff IRL but I'm starting to get back on track.
Wait for it… wait for it… no really, wait for it… just a little longer… hold on… ARK OF OBLITERATION
Warriors will show everyone they're just as badass as the other vocations
When they get here, just a few more minutes
@@ThiefofCrystals I’ll always be a Mystic Knight at heart 🙈 but my best friend mained warrior so there’s always respect ✊
Good stuff mate :D
Me: Looks at guide
Him: *proceeds to diss corona slash because of letter u type underswing*
Me:.....
And i Took that personally.
Not sure if anyone mentioned it and I know this is like a year old but on certain moves such as Exodus Slash you and jump cancel out and combo off of the second hit which is a short ranged launcher into something else normally I use Pommel Bash, Exodus Slash and Arc of Obliteration (Arc of Deliverance with one of the ring’s enhancements from Bitterblack Isle) as a combo of sorts sometimes indomitable Lunge instead of the Arc….Yes I do play Fighting games and I know some cancels with Fighter class as well. 😂😂😂
I initially made the mistake of thinking corona slash had I-frames because of it's similar appearance to certain fighter skills.
My favorite warrior experiance is when I get to stop an eleminators charge with exodus slash followed by a jumping heavy.
Oddly sadisfying to knock the bullheaded lads down, feels like a true contest of strength
I just realised you can use pummel bash to cancel missed normal attacks, making it a combo extender/linker
TOC single handedly making DD newbies appreciate the power of BIG SWORD.
Guts would be proud.
Thx for the guides, guess I found my class ;)
Where's the music that played during Ranger highlights from? Also, sick guides! As a newcomer to DDDA, I'm loving these!
The Pokemon battle music 🤣
Love Ur work
Thanks bud
Just IN TIME, after years since the original PS3 release it's time to replay it now with the dark arisen expansion.
im palying for first time and i have 50hrs on warrior and i feel strong as fuck, i didnt even think people thought of warrior as bad vocation. but that makes me wanna try other ones. great video thanks
Where the hell was this series when I started playing last year.
One shotting bosses with Arc of Obliteration is so fucking satisfying XD
Hey dawg I loved the last 2 guides think you could do mystic knight next? I’d like to try it but idek where to start
I really appreciate that! I'm so sorry but I have a set order in mind, Ranger's well underway and Sorcerer is set to follow, but immediately after that will be Mystic Knight! I'll work as hard as I can to get it and the others done so you and anyone else can benefit from them as soon as possible!
@@ThiefofCrystals poggers
So this man plays GBF (cutie Siegfried JPEG) and also used Endwalker song during levitate in mage video - a man of TRUE taste
Planning to main the hell out of Siegfried once GBVS Rising is out!
From my time playing this Warrior is a must level for all vocations because it's skills are too good
I'm doing warrior just now to dragon forge my warrior pawns gear. I am personally struggling with it but, my pawn is an absolute unit!!! Pretty much nothing knocks him off his feet. Oooooo ranger!!!!! That's what I generally am!!! But, Magic Archer is quickly becoming my new fav!
Chad Vocation
A focus on stagger, knockdown, attack start/end lag. There's hyper armor on some specials. Reset is an animation cancel. Pommel is a hit confirm. Capcom should make fighting games or something.
That would be kinda wild...
(Unironically hyped for SF6, hope to have a great time and improve as much as I can)
SMT V music....you're a distinguished gentleman
;)
Good video, personally could never get arround to play warrior because of themore slow response this vocation has compared to something like strider
That's entirely fair! It can be hard to go back once you've had a taste of vocations like Strider lol
@@ThiefofCrystals my personal preference is mystic knight or magical archer, i need some magic in my gane play. Thunder/Fame riposte etc just feels so satisfying.
Looking forward to those vocation videos as well
can't wait to see the warrior at its fullest potential in DD2. Used a VPN to play DDON when the servers existed and loved the changes they made there, but MMOs aren't my thing and I'd much prefer the experience of a focused singleplayer oriented experience.
I see the warrior as more of a training class. If you can make it work effectively, you will absolutely wreck face with any other melee class. That's not to say warrior is bad, just that it has the most weaknesses to overcome. Once you do that, you will find yourself an absolute beast. For one thing, warrior gets the best physical stat balance when gaining levels. Defense is a bit lower than a fighter, but much better than any of the dagger classes. HP gain is extremely high (highest in the game until you hit level 100, then it becomes one of the lowest... wtf?). Strength is second only to the assassin, and only barely at that (but again, you have actual defenses to back it up). So, what I do is play warrior first if I plan to be a physical focused class. Get all those juicy stats from leveling up, until I get that STR augment (at max vocation rank). It usually takes till about level 30-40, which really isn't all that long in the grand scheme of the game. Then, switch to whatever I really want to play and make mincemeat out of everything. An assassin or ranger with warrior levels under its belt will live so much longer... No, I am not good enough at the game to just "not get hit", so I like being able to survive a couple hits. Minmaxing is for pros, of whit I am not.
Of course, you can just stay as a warrior. Their ability to knock down even the biggest foes is more than satisfying. In that regard, jumping light attack is an amazing tool. It's one of your quicker attacks, and still hits decently hard. The big selling point on that is its insane stagger potential. Even at low levels, you can just jump-light attack spam to keep ogres and cyclopses off balance, or on their backs for long periods of time. Just gotta learn to reliably hit those weak spots (hint: its always the head).
I agree with you but I see the warrior as more than just a training class. It's also kind of challenging by not giving you all the tools to take down your enemies, making you think. For example, if you have a bow, dragons and griffins won't give you any trouble and that's sometimes boring. The warrior is ironically the simplest vocation and the one that makes you think the most. That makes her fascinating to me and my favorite along with Mistyc Knight
Great video. Pro tip: lantern 🏮
How do you use ACT of revengence in his full potential ? I Always get staggers and knockdown by boss. (Chimera, Drake, Griffin etc...)
I'm waiting for Warrior + sorcerer vocation imagine how powerful it will be
Just started playing this game and was having fun as a warrior, restarted my game and started as a strider , got my arse kicked by some wolves , I’m going back to warrior
Hey guys im playing on the pc but it seems like i cant perform the core skills thats i purchased for the warrior i did try to hold the heavy attack it didnt work and i tried to tap light attack *pause then rapidly hit light attack but nothing happens its just the standard attack before purchasing these core skills can anyone help?
9:47 MAN, I CRACKED UP KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
what is that sword that tou are using cause its looking so cool
The sword is called 'Dwells-In-Light' and can be obtained as a random drop from the Ur-Dragon!
No Ferocity mention?
Ferocity can be a good augment for several vocations. Holy Focused Bolt is a top damage dealer for Mages (and even Sorcerers). It's the go-to option for taking out Cursed Dragons.
It's also useful for elemental weapons and hybrid classes since it boosts both Str and Mag. It even boosts magick shields perfect block damage.
You're right, I probably should have mentioned Ferocity since it's fairly useful. I was aware Holy Focus Bolt was powerful and mentioned as much, but as I almost never play a caster I wasn't fully aware of its impact. Stuff like this is why I made that disclaimer at the start of the first guide. So far I haven't gotten too much wrong so I'm glad for that at least.
Corona slash can knock down eliminators and cyclops
Think it can stagger dragons too
When you choose warrior it's Unga bunga time!
We do love the unga
If you could use six abilities with it it’d be tied with MK for favorite class of mine.
Yeah, people say you don't "need" 6 abilities, sure you don't "need" 6 abilities but it's fun when you can mix things up when warriors have so many cool skills!
How do you get such giant gold drops from enemies?
WTF, making DD content in 2022. Are you insane ? Thank you !
I'm the guy who did a fists only/hard mode/no pawns/fresh playthrough run, so yeah probably lmao
What about the war hammer?
What I hate about warrior the most as a warrior main is how limiting it is. Strider, ranger and magick archer get dodge rolls and double jumps. Mage and sorcerer get their glides. Fighter gets blocking. Assassin gets dodge rolls, double jumps and blocking. Mystic Knight get blocking and gliding. Warrior just gets a single i-frame skill that's not even too good and only gets 3 skills on top of that. I love warrior so much but seeing other vocations just hurt me and tempt me to play them at times.
Honestly, probably the single most valid complaint I've seen about the vocation. Warrior is fantastic, but everyone is so dripped out in terms of what they can do, especially in terms of mobility options, that it can be difficult not to envy that.
@@ThiefofCrystals Praying the sequel makes them batter.
Basically a monster hunter's greatsword main
Still feel like warrior’s war cry could be replaced with an effect that manually buffs your strength. The vocation DESPERATELY needed its own magic rebalencer in order to be more overall useful.

corona slash with skill ring = 3 garms stuck sleeping on the floor =D
Warriors slow....? Noooooooo
They are aerial top gun Lucha Libre in disguise, they jump ALOT and bonks from above, until their foes go down and finish it with a bigger bonker
Im looking for a non magic vocation to play. Sadly my last two characters defaulted back into Magick Archers 😅
Meanwhile i'm trying to play magic vocations and always defaulting to melee 😅
If DD2 adds dismemberement, warrior should be the ones carrying it. I want to be able to cut a whole cyclops leg so the bastard cannot stomp on things anymore
You know when I first started playing the game I was like they made melee so realistic this is how you would use a big weapon.. I was sure they would have whirlwind where you just spin around in circle yet was like that wouldn’t be realistic.. then I played strider and skull splitter… I’m like okay.. everything was realistic until that skill came into play.. so why the hell not give the big great sword the classic whirlwind spin to win ability and just have it drain stamina during the duration.. and yes… spam pummel is so fun on warrior 😂not…
What's the sword?
"Dwells-In-Light"
Warrior was my first vocation lol..i came from monster hunter using greatsword and long sword as main... so i saw greatsword i was hehehe y'all fcked 😂
I'm a weird guy. I don't care for magic, but I love to fight against it. I'm just a human fighting against something far more powerful than me. David and Goliath style 😎
Where do you get that sword
Ur-Dragon loot baybeeee
I'm new to the game where can I find a good great sword
What the name of the longsword?
Dwells-in-Light, obtainable from the Ur-Dragon
What sword is that
"Dwells-In-Light"
What sword is that?
Dwells-in-Light, one of the potential drops obtained by defeating the Ur-Dragon!
@@ThiefofCrystals the online version?
I tried to play as a warrior and it was so damn boring. I played for maybe 10 hours and couldn't continue.
i switched over to mystic knight and loved it
Warrior is just Monster Hunters GreatSword.......I LOVE IT
Ah yeah? Prove it by killing a pack of garms in Bitterblack; solo and no healing. Otherwise warrior weak.
:v
Ok
Na
big hammer for me
You know what? That's valid
Outside of magic vocations, vocations only have 3 skills per primary and secondary weapon! So it does seem disingenuous to say fighter, strider etc have six skills when they only have six skills because they have a primary and secondary weapon! Warrior had three skills only because only primary weapon!
Yes but it still detracts from versatility which is all I was saying with that, I wasn't being disingenuous at all I was just stating facts. They have less skills at their disposal, the fact that it's due to their single weapon is sort of obvious and doesn't really change anything.
@@ThiefofCrystals no not you being disingenuous, I read referring to everything else who uses warrior slander out of malice!
@@DANCERcow Ah I see, in that case apologies for misunderstanding
@@ThiefofCrystals no apologies please, you are good!
