Yeah I like trying out different builds but I don't go beyond vocation, equipment, and skills. Playing the numbers game sucks all the fun out of it for me. I actually think the way stats work is one of the best parts of the game. Instead of putting so much thought into where you are gonna put your next skill point you can concentrate on play style. Min/Max mechanics are fine and can be very enjoyable and satisfying. But DD is just a refreshing change of pace.
I think a big problem is, once you've made it all the way to level 200, what is there even left to do? You spend 100 levels as Mystic Knight, 45 levels as sorcerer, 10 levels as fighter, and only 45 levels as assassin, between Sorcerer and Mystic Knight (having to be careful around level 100 not to accidently go over to level 101) It kinda feels like to play as the best assassin, you have to spend 155 levels worth of the game NOT playing the assassin :/
I realize a lot has changed in the 3.5 years since this video was uploaded (August 13th, 2012 - well before the Dark Arisen expansion), and that sucks as some of the information has become a little dated. I created this video primarily for those that had already beat the vanilla game and wanted to try their hand at min/maxing a character. At the end of the day, Dragon's Dogma is best playing whatever the hell vocation you want to play, at whatever time, as the game is very easy. Enjoy the game everyone :D
+ManufacturedOpinionn Man i don't care what anyone says you made the best DD build guides thhat i've seen on youtube it really helped me out when i was a new player you should definitely come back to this game some what in the future or make the other vocation builds like magic archer ranger ETC. , anyways your one of my favorite youtubers keep up the good work
my main problem with dragons dogma builds is the fact that you have to level so much that by the time you reach the 200 level mark and can FINALLY play as the class you actually want to play, you've probably finished the game twice and lost all interest to continue
that's only if you want to min max to the actual peak of min-maxingness. you an make a decent build and not min-max to 200. Personally, I stopped a 150. Offline Ur-dragon with pilgrim's charm just levelled me up insanely fast, only 43 hours into my save and haven't even started BBi yet.
Wow it's much more complicated than I thought. I started out this game thinking it would be pretty straight forward, and I was wrong. Thanks for going over builds.
actually, if you want to survive certain place, bitterblack island for example, it's best to go with a good class that has good equipment otherwise, you'll do little damage and die more faster. If that's what you want, feel free to rage quit. Lol. because its gonna happen.
りん夏目 I’m sure OP knows that. He is just saying that there is no point worrying about min-maxing in this game. BBI is not hard and it can be easily completed while still having fun
Thinking of returning to grind my lvl 100 toons up to 200 but i'd better be careful not to level up in the wrong class. I'll play it safe until i remember how the game works and then grind classes between levels. Lol Pure DPS assassin arisen & Pure magic pawn.
Awesome guide, nice to have some clarity. There is a lot of information spread out all over and hard to find, nice to have someone put it all in one place, thank you.
dude, ur great. i'm probably ganna be somewhere in between a hardcore player and a relaxed player, but its always fun just to listen to you talk about this stuff. thanks for the video.
I find going from level 1 to 25 as a fighter. 25 to 50 mystic knight 50 to 75 sorcerer and then from there go assassin. Gives you a nice mix of each stat and also gives you the freedom to swap your augments to suit your playstyle. Great video, subbed. Happy Dogging people.
About the "magic damage is better" is completely and uterly WRONG! Assassin gets the highest amount of strentgh per level out of all vocations. He does way more damage with a physical damage weapon (aka: Strenght based) The onely use magic damage has for an assassin is for mobs and bosses that has physical damage resistence. Therfor, having a magic weapon at hand is not a bad ide (heavens key daggers for exampel) So whatever you do, don't use weapons with high magic damage unless the mob/boss has high resistence towards physical damage
For Everyone who made an complaint about the boss in the video and it being spoiled you have to realise this game was original made on the XBOX and PS3 meaning there's already going to be spoilers it's been out for 4 years now this video was made in 2012 so don't blame him for spoilers on an old video , Secondly, Why would you look up builds before even running your first playthrough you should play how you want in a blind playthough when you first play the game otherwise you should already have seen the UR dragon boss
What I did was simply max every vocation. By the time I did, I had a good balance of every stat with high attack and magic attack and all the augments. Though my main is a ranger. I can drop about 75% of bosses with one great gamble to a weak spot, or down them with tenfold fury barrages. Rangers are so OP and underrated. XD
I've been watching this and your mystic knight build video, and I have to say you've helped me alot. I wanted to go mystic knight since I got the game, but I never got past vocation level 3 because my stats sucked dragon balls. So thanks alot and keep it up! :D
wish I had known how it all worked when I first started. am lvl 85 and was all over the place with vocations trying them out before I found the assassin. looks like I'll be restarting. thanks for the info. much better than the internet!
Love your vids dude, Decaffeinate sub, Sin is so OP! Current lv.179, I just started playing a assassin, I started as Mage(1-10)(Sorc 10-40)(MK 40-100)(Ranger 100-130) I only swapped to Sin for BBI farming and I must say.... it's insane! I drop Daimon in about secs... I must say you're right, it don't Matter what path you take Sin is so OP without specific build..... I have no Str. Augs no Sin Augs at all and still own. But awesome guide man! Keep it up.
When I started the game as a Strider I changed my vocation to Assassin as-soon-as I got to the capital. I experimented with it (I really loved he diversity in the weapons) and I found that my personal favorite is a combo of sword and bow. And I am a DAMAGE SOAK, or a PIN CUSHION if you will, I have never had a character take so much damage. Granted my Assassin is currently lvl 47. If you the kind of person who likes to manipulate the battlefield and all you're opponents then sword and bow is 4 u
I am so late to this game.. I mean this video is 10 yrs old. Ive never heard of it till 4 months ago. Anyway if it wasn't for tutorials like this, I would be so lost. So thank you for your service. Edit: Did you hear they are making a second one! I'm so stoked!
To ManufacturedOpinionn :D thank you for this video, I just played the game for about 1 month and now I'm 200 and just want to tell you that you video makes it clear to me how I wanted to play, thank you, it's very useful
Just picked up the game for PS4 and I love it. Watching your videos made me re-think my assassin's build. I was going to stay Assassin from 10 to 100 but now I want more balance. What I was thinking was to go Assassin>Sorceror>Mystic Knight/Magick Archer in that order up to 200 but I am not sure of the intervals to use for the stat growth. Suggestions?
as gotokill2 guy told you, stat gain is when you level up, than depending on the class you gain the amount of stats. for M.att sorc has best as it is 5 (to compare mage has 4 and mystic knight 3) vocation level up only affects the skills you can train (passives aka augments can be shared through different classes. hope it helps
Definitely informative for a newcomer like me lol I'm going to get this game soon so this was very helpful, you got a new subscriber buddy and thanks for the info! :D
Gale Harness speeds up everything you do. Invinsibility makes you immune to enemy attacks ( NPCs can still see you though ) Both of them are Dagger skills that you can get once you've reached a certain vocation rank.
@BrettNBrittney Post game you can reach him through the Chamber of Lament. He is called the Ur-Dragon. There is an online and offline version. The online takes the community days to defeat. The offline takes like 5 min with a powerful Mystic Knight build.
Great video. PSN put the game on their free list this month and I haven't stopped playing it. Your video broke down the theory crafting of a build for me, now I get how to do it. I am working on a Mystic Knight after playing Strider from 1-14. Not getting the hang of Mystic Knight yet--I keep casting a shield spell when I'm trying to attack.
please someon tell me, what the heck means warior from lvl1;-10 mage from lvl 10-50 etc. Its mean if i want to get best stats i have to play untill 50lvl with class i dont like to? or its just this other lvling, those red stars by playing each class?
I like your assassin build. The night\solo play style is interesting. I just started the game. I'm level 23. I got four vocation levels with mage when I started, then switched to mystic knight for five vocation levels, then sorcerer for two, then eventually settled on assassin which I only have two vocation levels with as well. I was just trying to find a class and play style I enjoyed playing. I'm gonna switch to warrior though for those strength augments and then switch back to assassin. Hopefully the time playing as mage, sorcerer, and mystic knight helped my magic for those heavens key daggers or other magically augmented weapons. I know I got two defense augments from mystic knight, one for physical damage and the other for magic damage.
I'm not great with rare/findable weapons in this game, but how do you get the weapons you use for your assassin? I always wanted to be one, but i don't wanna start as one and have no idea that i should find.
I ran around as a fighter till ten, swapped to warrior till 30 to up my hp, defense and max the vocation while enjoying beginning quests, then swapped to assassin, once I hit 110 or close to 120 I'm swapping to sorcerer up to 200. for the magic attack increase, swapping between heavens keys and CRazors. I loved these daggers.
I just started playing this game and I'm thinking that this is the class I want to build up to. I started off with the Strider until about level 25. Then I upgraded to a Ranger and I'm currently at level 37. After maxing out Ranger I was thinking about moving on to Magic Archer and then finally Assassin. I may make a new character to focus on the strength stuff. But for my Assassin I'm trying to build a very balanced Assassin with lots of Magic and stamina. I started with the Strider and Ranger because I really enjoy the bow skills. Does anyone with significant experience with this game know if this sounds like a solid plan?
From my experience leveling up vocation at low level is very tricky cause at level 10 less than 100xp will level up fairly quickly. At what level do you recommend leveling up vocation.
You do not want magic for a pure melee build. Magic does not effect magic weapons. Only the weapon stats effect the damage. Only raise magic stat if you plan on playing sourcerer, mage, magic archer or mystic night.
So i am a level 27 fighter. Is starting at lvl 10 required or can i switch to mage from there. Or it doesn't matter? I've just been fucking steamrolling monsters and leveling up but i didn't even think about changing vocation to now. I kind of just want to make a powerful character and go adventuring with it.
does it matter what order u do things in like i played as an assassin for i think like 15 levels now i never knew about all this can i stop what im doing change vocation to fighter or does that not help? basically what im asking is can you make your assassin better even though i started using him? i just am not sure
Instead of doing 45 lvls of warrior 45 lvls of sorcery could I do 45lvls of warrior and 45 lvls of Magick archer to get magic but also a little stamina?
Magic for an assassin? Think you made that point a bit too strongly. I'd say, be a fighter until you get the plus 10% damage augment then go warrior until you can get clout (and ferocity) then go assassin and stay there. Simple and powerful. If someone is really interested in mixing magic in there then why play as an assassin at all? Magick Archer would make more sense. Just my two cents.
@@tylersraid1239 Spectres, and Assassin doesn't need a super high magick to kill them fast. any Holy Enchantment (such as from a Mage/Sorcerer, or Heavens Key Daggers) melts them pretty much instantly
I did my vocation increases at the Great Wall, but the undead gave me around 1200xp even at lvl 80 something. So I just changed vocations right before I got my lvl up.
oof i started with strider without knowing how stat work i guess i will start again from 0 with warrior since i wanna get a good build i was gonna do assasian also playing in dark arise version makes me need a different build? i saw with dark arise now there is a framae blade thats only melee and many say is the best in the game and is pure physical so i wonder if i should do 1-10 warrior and 10-200 assasian or maybe u got a balanced update?
i have not idea about mixing up the vocations , I was ranking up all of them to get the Core so i will be strong. ending up with strong attack with good magic attacks. however, I notice my assassin attacks strong than the others but far difference.
Personally, I went Fighter 1-10 with my Assassin build. Then I changed to Warrior 11-100 for the massive health pool. This method yields 40 health per level and 5 points attack strength per level. Then I change to Assassin each time I level up. You just have to keep an eye on your level and your experience and take it into account before you go to into a battle with something or someone who will cause you to level up. You have to make sure you’re at least level 100 before you begin going around fighting massive creatures that grant lots of experience. You have to max out each vocation to unlock all the augments. It’s more effective to put the majority of your stat points into one or the other; either strength or magick. What you lack, whether it’s strength or magick, you enlist the right pawns to make up the difference. This way, you don’t have to worry about building a “balanced” character, and you always have a well-balanced team who’s equipped to fight whatever you’re going up against. However, either you probably already know all this by now or no longer play this game, as this video is now 6 years old. My team: Arisen - Assassin, Main Pawn - Sorcerer, Support Pawns - Mage & Ranger. I leveled up my pawn as a Mage 1-10, then Sorcerer the rest of the way. I’ve found this to be the most effective method for leveling up as well as building the most deadly team for fighting anything that I encounter in the game. If I was going to make a hybrid class build, and when I say that, I mean either Mystic Knight or Magick Archer, I’d still put all my stat points into either strength or magick and use a weapon that’s either heavily magick based or one that’s raw physical damage. Again, one of your pawns (a Mage or Sorcerer) can enchant your weapon with the appropriate spell learned and set. That’s the way I did it, anyway, and it turned out to be quite effective.
So you said please don't go mage then sorcerer to assassin.. But unfortunately I'm mage to sorcerer but now i want to play assassin so is it that bad in my case or i can do it anyway and it won't affect that much??
if you play to get the "True ending" you can just start a new game + keeping al your items,ex,stats and lets you start a new you can also copy your save to another memory unit like a flash drive or hard drive you can also make back up saves on your computer if you have a flash drive and are using and xbox360 :D
I wondering - are the magical weapon really best ? Considering you get two damage values that have to stack against two defence values vs one stat that has to stack against one defence value ? Granted, most enemies have lower magic defence than physical defence but let's say that an you still have to get through both.
Ilike your Ideas so much that I went strider 1-25,fighter 25-35, Magik Archer 35-80,warrior 80-2 (rank 9)what would you suggest from this point onwards?
As a assasin, you can easily kill the Dragon in 10 minutes XD I used the Lycan Sight skill with the bow a lot, focus on the heart and BOOM he is defeated. Not just on higher level, even if you first confront the dragon. The Ur-dragon however... man that one is a different story
because he isnt the last boss he is just an end game boss after you defeat the final boss so it doesnt spoil the story untill you actually finish the game and realize what the ur-dragon is
Question to Manufactured Opinion So I played Mage to level 10, and then Sorcerer to level 20, and in the video you said fighter to level 10, and then 45 levels up (55?) as sorcerer. My question is if I should switch to assassin now or go fighter or something? I know you mentioned not starting at mage and then go to sorc 199.
it would increase over your current ones. Assassins have the greatest strength stat growth, and a high stamina stat growth, but they lack in health, defense, magic def, and mag att. mystic knight uses magic attacks mainly so it would be useful to switch to a sorcerer for a few levels because they have the best mag att stat growth.
I have a question if u make Mage to 10lvl and then Mystic Knight till 45-55lvl for good (Def,Magic, HP and Stamina) and then go all out Assassin to 200lvl will it be good balanced or should I change something ????
a lot of assassins for onlline Ur-dragon are balancing out physical/magic attack to do the most damage with heavens key. They go for the strength and magic augments for increased damage. Really though, if you're not interested in the online Ur-dragon just do what you want and have fun, at higher levels you'll breeze through the game, even in hard mode.
awesome video thanks! i'm currently level 70. I went from 1-10 fighter, 10-40 sorcerer,40-55 Warrior and from there on assassin. should i just keep going assassin or do you have any recommendation for more balance?
hello i have a question i have been yousing fighter assassin and warrior the hole game so i wanted to mix it up with a mystick knight .when ii changed my vocation to mystic knight from fighter my full moon slash and down crack was still there now can anyone tell howit happend because i would be set forever if i could soul skewer or gouge in to my mystic knights sword/mace skill list. please and thank u have a nice day.
1-20 fighter 20-35 warrior 35-70 sorcerer 70-200 assassin, good defense, good health, good normal damage and good magic damage, you have to get the augments for those vocation

Best to skip to 6:14 for the actual tips. The first 6 minutes is him talking about how he's going to give you tips.
+CorMaestro LOL
+CorMaestro dear crist it was anoying -.-
yup this guy keep on talking but Never really elaborate what the heck is the Tips is, i mean what the FUCK!?
Lol the savage is real
I respect him for making a video though with tips lol.
I have never really cared about vocation stat growths, but when I did, I didn't enjoy the game.
Glisero you gotta stop caring. 4 years late but I got you bro
Yeah I like trying out different builds but I don't go beyond vocation, equipment, and skills. Playing the numbers game sucks all the fun out of it for me. I actually think the way stats work is one of the best parts of the game. Instead of putting so much thought into where you are gonna put your next skill point you can concentrate on play style. Min/Max mechanics are fine and can be very enjoyable and satisfying. But DD is just a refreshing change of pace.
Played this game years ago and just picked it up for the switch today, had to come back and rewatch your videos to get a refresher on it
I think a big problem is, once you've made it all the way to level 200, what is there even left to do?
You spend 100 levels as Mystic Knight, 45 levels as sorcerer, 10 levels as fighter, and only 45 levels as assassin, between Sorcerer and Mystic Knight (having to be careful around level 100 not to accidently go over to level 101)
It kinda feels like to play as the best assassin, you have to spend 155 levels worth of the game NOT playing the assassin :/
I realize a lot has changed in the 3.5 years since this video was uploaded (August 13th, 2012 - well before the Dark Arisen expansion), and that sucks as some of the information has become a little dated. I created this video primarily for those that had already beat the vanilla game and wanted to try their hand at min/maxing a character. At the end of the day, Dragon's Dogma is best playing whatever the hell vocation you want to play, at whatever time, as the game is very easy. Enjoy the game everyone :D
+ManufacturedOpinionn watching again for pc version. :D Thanks for the great guide.
+ManufacturedOpinionn Man i don't care what anyone says you made the best DD build guides thhat i've seen on youtube it really helped me out when i was a new player you should definitely come back to this game some what in the future or make the other vocation builds like magic archer ranger ETC. , anyways your one of my favorite youtubers keep up the good work
Thank you for the support DarksoulNinja!
I was referring to the vanilla game as easy. BBI was an awesome and challenging addition. Dragon's Dogma Online is even more challenging.
Thanks for the support Blitz :)
my main problem with dragons dogma builds is the fact that you have to level so much that by the time you reach the 200 level mark and can FINALLY play as the class you actually want to play, you've probably finished the game twice and lost all interest to continue
+lkim100 i finished it 5 times and im only level 114 lol
+lkim100 I've stuck with the same class since the beginning which is assassin lol.
that's only if you want to min max to the actual peak of min-maxingness. you an make a decent build and not min-max to 200. Personally, I stopped a 150. Offline Ur-dragon with pilgrim's charm just levelled me up insanely fast, only 43 hours into my save and haven't even started BBi yet.
lkim100 Not really most builds finish at lvl 55 glass cannon builds finish at around lvl 100
then, go for the platinum 🏆
This game slipped under the radar for me,just discovered it for PC its a gem.
I only discovered it now, in a steam sale ^^
This guide was filled with a lot of really good information, thank you. I have a paper full of notes, haven't done that since dark souls 3. Thanks!
Wow it's much more complicated than I thought. I started out this game thinking it would be pretty straight forward, and I was wrong. Thanks for going over builds.
Heh, never thought I'd come back to this video :P
Me to man lol
narutobands and so it begins
joshua smith 🙂
wow....how do manage to talk without actually telling us anything...well done.
too dense to figure it out? lollerskates
+1 all he does if waffle....
agreed. here's a tip: don't spend the first 5 minutes of a video telling us how many OP tips you're going to give us.
At least he actually TALKS that's a part of the DDDA community that is specifically lackluster
Thank you! About to start my first playthrough, and you gave me great starting point for a build.
Its not a competitive game so just do what feels right and have fun.
actually, if you want to survive certain place, bitterblack island for example, it's best to go with a good class that has good equipment otherwise, you'll do little damage and die more faster. If that's what you want, feel free to rage quit. Lol. because its gonna happen.
りん夏目 I’m sure OP knows that. He is just saying that there is no point worrying about min-maxing in this game. BBI is not hard and it can be easily completed while still having fun
True. I didn't worry about it on ps3. I'm min-maxing my ps4 play through, though.
Lampshades, Soap & Beyond what you said
Thinking of returning to grind my lvl 100 toons up to 200 but i'd better be careful not to level up in the wrong class. I'll play it safe until i remember how the game works and then grind classes between levels. Lol
Pure DPS assassin arisen & Pure magic pawn.
Awesome guide, nice to have some clarity. There is a lot of information spread out all over and hard to find, nice to have someone put it all in one place, thank you.
dude, ur great. i'm probably ganna be somewhere in between a hardcore player and a relaxed player, but its always fun just to listen to you talk about this stuff. thanks for the video.
2015 and tuning into this guide for the pc port! Good guide, helped, currently turned it into an assassin archer build. Loving it!
you've just earned yourself a subscriber. excellent video
You earned a subscriber! :D Love how you're detailed about your videos. Exactly something I need since I'm a beginner, haha.
I find going from level 1 to 25 as a fighter. 25 to 50 mystic knight 50 to 75 sorcerer and then from there go assassin. Gives you a nice mix of each stat and also gives you the freedom to swap your augments to suit your playstyle. Great video, subbed.
Happy Dogging people.
About the "magic damage is better" is completely and uterly WRONG!

The onely use magic damage has for an assassin is for mobs and bosses that has physical damage resistence. Therfor, having a magic weapon at hand is not a bad ide (heavens key daggers for exampel)
So whatever you do, don't use weapons with high magic damage unless the mob/boss has high resistence towards physical damage
This guide is old
Great videos this helped alot (: and i love your other videos
For Everyone who made an complaint about the boss in the video and it being spoiled you have to realise this game was original made on the XBOX and PS3 meaning there's already going to be spoilers it's been out for 4 years now this video was made in 2012 so don't blame him for spoilers on an old video , Secondly, Why would you look up builds before even running your first playthrough you should play how you want in a blind playthough when you first play the game otherwise you should already have seen the UR dragon boss
What I did was simply max every vocation. By the time I did, I had a good balance of every stat with high attack and magic attack and all the augments. Though my main is a ranger. I can drop about 75% of bosses with one great gamble to a weak spot, or down them with tenfold fury barrages. Rangers are so OP and underrated. XD
Glad that u r showing all of this just really need to know how to get super jump on dragon dogma I have seen it in other videos
I've been watching this and your mystic knight build video, and I have to say you've helped me alot. I wanted to go mystic knight since I got the game, but I never got past vocation level 3 because my stats sucked dragon balls. So thanks alot and keep it up! :D

Thanks for the great video! I plan on getting this game for PS4 soon, it would be great if you could make a revised guide on the Assassin build.
Great video!! Thank you
Great great video ! Keep it up ;)
I am so late to this game.. I mean this video is 10 yrs old. Ive never heard of it till 4 months ago. Anyway if it wasn't for tutorials like this, I would be so lost. So thank you for your service.
Edit: Did you hear they are making a second one! I'm so stoked!
thanks man you are a huge inspiration!
would love this for other classes great video
I hope you come back and make guides again for Dragon's Dogma 2.
I found this and your MK video really useful. I would love to see similar for Magick Archer.
To ManufacturedOpinionn :D thank you for this video, I just played the game for about 1 month and now I'm 200 and just want to tell you that you video makes it clear to me how I wanted to play, thank you, it's very useful
Just picked up the game for PS4 and I love it. Watching your videos made me re-think my assassin's build. I was going to stay Assassin from 10 to 100 but now I want more balance. What I was thinking was to go Assassin>Sorceror>Mystic Knight/Magick Archer in that order up to 200 but I am not sure of the intervals to use for the stat growth. Suggestions?
as gotokill2 guy told you, stat gain is when you level up, than depending on the class you gain the amount of stats. for M.att sorc has best as it is 5 (to compare mage has 4 and mystic knight 3) vocation level up only affects the skills you can train (passives aka augments can be shared through different classes.

Gale Harness speeds up everything you do.
Invinsibility makes you immune to enemy attacks ( NPCs can still see you though )
Both of them are Dagger skills that you can get once you've reached a certain vocation rank.
Hey manufactured opinion digging your tips for an assassin. Kicking serious butt, thank you very much well mustachioed man.
SOME of the best stamina gains
Hearing this makes me feel like I'm watching a body building tips video. Stamina and health and such xD
@BrettNBrittney Post game you can reach him through the Chamber of Lament. He is called the Ur-Dragon. There is an online and offline version. The online takes the community days to defeat. The offline takes like 5 min with a powerful Mystic Knight build.
Thanks dude, this and the mystic knight vid were very helpfull. Make more dragons dogma vids.
Great video. PSN put the game on their free list this month and I haven't stopped playing it. Your video broke down the theory crafting of a build for me, now I get how to do it. I am working on a Mystic Knight after playing Strider from 1-14. Not getting the hang of Mystic Knight yet--I keep casting a shield spell when I'm trying to attack.
please someon tell me, what the heck means warior from lvl1;-10 mage from lvl 10-50 etc. Its mean if i want to get best stats i have to play untill 50lvl with class i dont like to? or its just this other lvling, those red stars by playing each class?
I like your assassin build. The night\solo play style is interesting. I just started the game. I'm level 23. I got four vocation levels with mage when I started, then switched to mystic knight for five vocation levels, then sorcerer for two, then eventually settled on assassin which I only have two vocation levels with as well. I was just trying to find a class and play style I enjoyed playing. I'm gonna switch to warrior though for those strength augments and then switch back to assassin. Hopefully the time playing as mage, sorcerer, and mystic knight helped my magic for those heavens key daggers or other magically augmented weapons. I know I got two defense augments from mystic knight, one for physical damage and the other for magic damage.
so I'm looking to have as much damage as I possibly can. then focus on stamina and health. what's the best way to go about doing that
Im lvl 125 assassin, my strength is 1393 cursed light and 1382 dragon ire
Defense is 765, MD is 624
HP is 3224
Stamina is 3431 is this bad?
Isnt Dire Gouge made to be used while climbing bosses? It's been a while since i last played but iirc I used to do it on every climbable enemy
I'm not great with rare/findable weapons in this game, but how do you get the weapons you use for your assassin? I always wanted to be one, but i don't wanna start as one and have no idea that i should find.
Do you HAVE to take up those vocations in that order or can I switch to fighter and sorcerer in later levels to get the perks?
Like Level 42 late.
Thanks bro, im currently a level 27-28 Assassin class, pretty kick ass class
how do you play solo and what is that thing he does before the battle to make him faster and also how do you get it
I ran around as a fighter till ten, swapped to warrior till 30 to up my hp, defense and max the vocation while enjoying beginning quests, then swapped to assassin, once I hit 110 or close to 120 I'm swapping to sorcerer up to 200. for the magic attack increase, swapping between heavens keys and CRazors. I loved these daggers.
I love these can plz do more :D
I just started playing this game and I'm thinking that this is the class I want to build up to. I started off with the Strider until about level 25. Then I upgraded to a Ranger and I'm currently at level 37. After maxing out Ranger I was thinking about moving on to Magic Archer and then finally Assassin. I may make a new character to focus on the strength stuff. But for my Assassin I'm trying to build a very balanced Assassin with lots of Magic and stamina. I started with the Strider and Ranger because I really enjoy the bow skills. Does anyone with significant experience with this game know if this sounds like a solid plan?
Nice build!
From my experience leveling up vocation at low level is very tricky cause at level 10 less than 100xp will level up fairly quickly. At what level do you recommend leveling up vocation.
You do not want magic for a pure melee build. Magic does not effect magic weapons. Only the weapon stats effect the damage. Only raise magic stat if you plan on playing sourcerer, mage, magic archer or mystic night.
cause with daggers you can use hundred kisses while you grab them,plus having gale harness activated doubles the speed
Assassin's great for looting bitterblack at lvl 10 with the shield dagger combo.
So i am a level 27 fighter. Is starting at lvl 10 required or can i switch to mage from there. Or it doesn't matter? I've just been fucking steamrolling monsters and leveling up but i didn't even think about changing vocation to now. I kind of just want to make a powerful character and go adventuring with it.
does it matter what order u do things in like i played as an assassin for i think like 15 levels now i never knew about all this can i stop what im doing change vocation to fighter or does that not help? basically what im asking is can you make your assassin better even though i started using him? i just am not sure
does cannon damage base off magic or physical damage? I thought it was magic but if seen some stuff online says other wise just curious
Hey, i just wanna ask, what armor set or ring for survive alone like that ?
Took 6 min to finally talk about class's.. thanks~
Instead of doing 45 lvls of warrior 45 lvls of sorcery could I do 45lvls of warrior and 45 lvls of Magick archer to get magic but also a little stamina?
Very helpful
Magic for an assassin? Think you made that point a bit too strongly. I'd say, be a fighter until you get the plus 10% damage augment then go warrior until you can get clout (and ferocity) then go assassin and stay there. Simple and powerful. If someone is really interested in mixing magic in there then why play as an assassin at all? Magick Archer would make more sense. Just my two cents.
Mixing magic in there is good so u can more easily kill wraith and such (dont remember what the hard wraith is called)

@@michaelbreton7998 nono, the red ones. But yes death too😂
@@tylersraid1239 Spectres, and Assassin doesn't need a super high magick to kill them fast. any Holy Enchantment (such as from a Mage/Sorcerer, or Heavens Key Daggers) melts them pretty much instantly
@@JondarKorric but if you have no magic attack it isn't much h use using a magic weapon
I did my vocation increases at the Great Wall, but the undead gave me around 1200xp even at lvl 80 something. So I just changed vocations right before I got my lvl up.
you can use dire gauge while clinging to an enemy as well.
oof i started with strider without knowing how stat work i guess i will start again from 0 with warrior since i wanna get a good build i was gonna do assasian also playing in dark arise version makes me need a different build? i saw with dark arise now there is a framae blade thats only melee and many say is the best in the game and is pure physical so i wonder if i should do 1-10 warrior and 10-200 assasian or maybe u got a balanced update?
i have not idea about mixing up the vocations , I was ranking up all of them to get the Core so i will be strong. ending up with strong attack with good magic attacks.
however, I notice my assassin attacks strong than the others but far difference.
Personally, I went Fighter 1-10 with my Assassin build. Then I changed to Warrior 11-100 for the massive health pool. This method yields 40 health per level and 5 points attack strength per level. Then I change to Assassin each time I level up. You just have to keep an eye on your level and your experience and take it into account before you go to into a battle with something or someone who will cause you to level up. You have to make sure you’re at least level 100 before you begin going around fighting massive creatures that grant lots of experience. You have to max out each vocation to unlock all the augments. It’s more effective to put the majority of your stat points into one or the other; either strength or magick. What you lack, whether it’s strength or magick, you enlist the right pawns to make up the difference. This way, you don’t have to worry about building a “balanced” character, and you always have a well-balanced team who’s equipped to fight whatever you’re going up against. However, either you probably already know all this by now or no longer play this game, as this video is now 6 years old. My team: Arisen - Assassin, Main Pawn - Sorcerer, Support Pawns - Mage & Ranger. I leveled up my pawn as a Mage 1-10, then Sorcerer the rest of the way. I’ve found this to be the most effective method for leveling up as well as building the most deadly team for fighting anything that I encounter in the game. If I was going to make a hybrid class build, and when I say that, I mean either Mystic Knight or Magick Archer, I’d still put all my stat points into either strength or magick and use a weapon that’s either heavily magick based or one that’s raw physical damage. Again, one of your pawns (a Mage or Sorcerer) can enchant your weapon with the appropriate spell learned and set. That’s the way I did it, anyway, and it turned out to be quite effective.
So you said please don't go mage then sorcerer to assassin.. But unfortunately I'm mage to sorcerer but now i want to play assassin so is it that bad in my case or i can do it anyway and it won't affect that much??
I think kunai would be better than heavens key due to the dark crit ability plus the assassins counter?
love DD sooo much!!.. i like alot the Warrior,ranger,mystical knight, but the STRIDER ASSASSIN is my ultimate choice..
if you play to get the "True ending" you can just start a new game + keeping al your items,ex,stats and lets you start a new you can also copy your save to another memory unit like a flash drive or hard drive you can also make back up saves on your computer if you have a flash drive and are using and xbox360 :D
What would you suggest is the best armor for an assassin? and wepons?
What would you recommend for assassin build for daggers and bow endgame? Bc I don't like the shield
great guide thanks. also you sounds like barry kripkie from the big bang theory
Best to show and tell and not just tell cause it just makes it hard for the brain to even comprehend this info
I wondering - are the magical weapon really best ? Considering you get two damage values that have to stack against two defence values vs one stat that has to stack against one defence value ? Granted, most enemies have lower magic defence than physical defence but let's say that an you still have to get through both.
Go all the way up to the top of grand Soren before you enter the castle area. And stand on a wall and let your pawns do everything
Ilike your Ideas so much that I went strider 1-25,fighter 25-35, Magik Archer 35-80,warrior 80-2 (rank 9)what would you suggest from this point onwards?
As a assasin, you can easily kill the Dragon in 10 minutes XD
I used the Lycan Sight skill with the bow a lot, focus on the heart and BOOM he is defeated. Not just on higher level, even if you first confront the dragon. The Ur-dragon however... man that one is a different story
because he isnt the last boss he is just an end game boss after you defeat the final boss so it doesnt spoil the story untill you actually finish the game and realize what the ur-dragon is
Question to Manufactured Opinion So I played Mage to level 10, and then Sorcerer to level 20, and in the video you said fighter to level 10, and then 45 levels up (55?) as sorcerer. My question is if I should switch to assassin now or go fighter or something? I know you mentioned not starting at mage and then go to sorc 199.
it would increase over your current ones. Assassins have the greatest strength stat growth, and a high stamina stat growth, but they lack in health, defense, magic def, and mag att. mystic knight uses magic attacks mainly so it would be useful to switch to a sorcerer for a few levels because they have the best mag att stat growth.
So do assassins get pre Str per level than warrior? I imagined warrior would get the most.
Is it okay if i build 0-10 Fighter then 45lvls of Mystic Knight 11-100 then the rest lvl's is Assassin?
good stuff :)
I have a question if u make Mage to 10lvl and then Mystic Knight till 45-55lvl for good (Def,Magic, HP and Stamina) and then go all out Assassin to 200lvl will it be good balanced or should I change something ????
a lot of assassins for onlline Ur-dragon are balancing out physical/magic attack to do the most damage with heavens key. They go for the strength and magic augments for increased damage. Really though, if you're not interested in the online Ur-dragon just do what you want and have fun, at higher levels you'll breeze through the game, even in hard mode.
awesome video thanks!
i'm currently level 70.
I went from 1-10 fighter, 10-40 sorcerer,40-55 Warrior and from there on assassin. should i just keep going assassin or do you have any recommendation for more balance?
hello i have a question i have been yousing fighter assassin and warrior the hole game so i wanted to mix it up with a mystick knight .when ii changed my vocation to mystic knight from fighter my full moon slash and down crack was still there now can anyone tell howit happend because i would be set forever if i could soul skewer or gouge in to my mystic knights sword/mace skill list. please and thank u have a nice day.
1-20 fighter 20-35 warrior 35-70 sorcerer 70-200 assassin, good defense, good health, good normal damage and good magic damage, you have to get the augments for those vocation
