Each Vocation (Class) in Dragon’s Dogma 2 has its augments. Learn about those skills and the differences between them.
Advanced Vocations are higher-level specializations and playstyles that involve separate augments, weapon skills, and core skills. At the start of the game, players can choose between four basic vocations for their protagonist and main pawn.
In Dragon’s Dogma 2, Skills are divided into three main types:
- Weapon Skills: Vocation-dependent weapon skills refer to specialized weapon techniques that may differ among various vocations, even if they share the same weapons. These skills can be performed by pressing the related weapon skill button. (While some vocations may share similar weapons, their access to weapon skills may not be identical. As such, it is crucial to understand the weapon skills available to your vocation to optimize your combat abilities.)
- Core Skills: Skills dependent on a specific weapon can be used by any vocation with access to it. These skills are performed by pressing the light and heavy attack buttons in a specific order.
- Augments: Passive trait buffs are earned when leveling a specific vocation. Once unlocked, the augment can be used regardless of the character’s vocation.
