Dragon’s Dogma 2has one more starter vocation than the original game, which is enough to make you wonder which is the best choice. While all four starter vocations certainly have their strengths and weaknesses, overall there definitely are some better than others for starting out. Here is the bestDragon’s Dogma 2starter vocation and which you should favor when choosing for your Arisen.
Best Starter Vocation
The best starter vocation inDragon’s Dogma 2is the Fighter. The Fighter gives you some survivability the other vocations are lacking while also giving you the ability to output some pretty lethal damage in the right situation. The Fighter also unlocks multiple passive skills that are useful for all vocations, making it an all-around great choice for a starter vocation.
All four starter vocations are viable, but if I had to pick one I’d recommend not choosing as a starter vocation for your Arisen it would be Thief. Like the Fighter, the Thief vocation requires you to get up close and personal with the enemies you are fighting. However, unlike the Fighter, the Thief is incredibly squishy and can die in literally one hit to a lot of enemies. The damage output of Thief is high, but all it takes is one wrong move and you’re dead and having to start the encounter over.
Dragon’s Dogma 2Starter Vocation Tier List
It doesn’t make a ton of sense to break down the starter vocations into tiers, since all four are viable. Instead, I have ranked all four starter vocations from 1-4 based on which ones I think are the best overall and why. Here is ourDragon’s Dogma 2Starter Vocation tier list:
That is why the Fighter is the best starter vocation inDragon’s Dogma 2, and why you can’t go wrong starting as a Fighter for your Arisen.
