Dragon's Dogma 2: All Skills for each Vocation (Class)

Each Vocation (Class) in Dragon’s Dogma 2 has its weapon and core skills. Learn about those skills and the differences between them.

All Skills for each Vocation (Class) in Dragon's Dogma 2

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. ( As such, it is crucial to understand the weapon skills available to your vocation to optimize your combat abilities.) These skills can be executed by pressing the related weapon skill button.
Core Skills: Skills that are dependent on a specific weapon can be used by any vocation that has 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.

As you can see, some of those skills are passive boosts, and some are active abilities used in combat to deal damage and sometimes crowd control the battlefield.

You can have only a few skills per category active simultaneously. With ranks, you unlock skills by using specific vocations in combat as you level up. As a result, some of the skills listed below might not be available to you from the start. When picking your skills, ensure you use skills matching your playstyle and exploit enemy weaknesses for the best results.
