Comfy Friday Dragons Dogma thread

Dragon’s Maw is probably gonna see a lot of use either way, it’s ridiculously good. That being said, you’re not required to use it and there are some really fun, satisfying abilities for Fighter. Hindsight Slash is actually one of the strongest single-hit attacks in the game if you get the bonus damage from properly dodging with it.

I just did the basegame with two fighters, and it was really fun. I don't like Dragons Maw just because it's a bit braindead, but I equpied it for stuff like cockatrice and such. Even Broad Slash, who I didn't test early was fun to use, albeit a bit situational, it was fun to use, if not the most damaging. The Launcher I've always had on for damage and such. It's great against anything. I also really liked the ground stab, it does a lot of damage, albeit a bit slow. Being only two members I was overleveled for most of the time. I think I might throw in a Mage for BBI, if only to lessen the menu-healing, which got bad only at everfall

Why does frazil seem to do so little? I can blast a goblin with a base fireball and it does 75% of the hp but grand frazil does piddly dmg even if I walk around with it going for 5+ seconds.
And as we all know, their kind hates ice and fire both.

>Frazil and High Frazil work in the same way: once cast, the spellcaster is surrounded by a circular area of cold that does not damage but may inflict freezing on foes within in.
no damage. use frigor

Unfortunately, that never happened to me.

Rangers are better if you're a red vocation and like to getting in close yourself without it getting too crowded, look for those with Pioneer inclinations if you want someone to really stay away, and with lots of bow and stamina augments to keep them using their daggers. Striders are great if you're a mid-ranger character yourself, especially if you're a Sorceror with Fulmination, since they like to climb. Both are good, but for different reasons.

But they do need training, like knowing to shoot for the head or what to do against specific enemies, so if you find one that's good, favorite it. And don't mind the level gap too much; good pawns are more important than levels. I still regularly use a level 20 Mage, because she has all the right spells, training and inclinations.

Hindsight Sweep does more damage and for less stamina, especially against enemies that attack more often, like in BBI. Personally like to use Burst Strike for knockdown and mobility, Antler Toss for multi-hit/semi-guard break/air toss and then Hindsight Sweep for strong solo bosses. Full Moon and Dragon's Maw are good, but against stronger enemies that you can't just bunch up and then delete, they seem like a waste.

For shield, Cymbal is a must because it's blunt damage and rounds out your sword. Then Shield Storm if you really want a guard break(which means you can replace Antler Toss) or Sheltered Fusillade. Divine Defense is a bit of a meme, but if you get caught out in a really shit situation, it can be fucking great.

Good to know, I was actually thinking of doing a yellow Arisen, yellow pawn run where I'd be either a Strider/Ranger and so would my pawn. I haven't been able to decide between which, but I also figure both vocations would both benefit from the same builds anyway so they'll be easy to swap between.

BBI is so much more fun when you actually have levels for it, instead of tickling / blast arrowing / fall damaging / spamming periapts on things you need to kill and running past everything else. Fact.

Flatty begone

I prefer Ranger pawns, mostly because Strider Pawns are just for dagger skills and climbing. Ranger can help with flying targets, or precision targets. Mine is loaded up with only bow skills so I get the most out of her.

Do you never encounter your pawn trying to punch stuff without daggers? I was doing some research and I saw some people recommending to do what you do, but others recommending against it because of that. Also, don't Striders have some really strong bow skills that rangers don't get, like Hailstorm Volley?

Very rarely have I ever seen that, but that might be when her inclinations are slipping up. Overall she uses exclusively ranged attacks.

share your pawns, anons

I love my strider pawn. She deletes stuff if she ever decides to use brain splitter, and she uses fracture dart pretty often. Honestly, I don't know how to build one, and I feel like maybe she has a lot of conflicting skills, what with adhesion + hundred kisses, brain splitter, and bow skills. I can't remember her inclinations off the top of my head, I think it's scather and mitigator/challenger.

So far I've done Quina, Madeleine, and Mercedes as beloved. Who should I go for on my next playthrough?

Does she tend to focus more on melee or bow? I've heard Fracture Dart is extremely powerful if it hits, but it's also easy for it to miss/hit ceilings and stuff.

Forhead perfect for flicking.

am I the only one that thinks dragon's dogma would have been better as a turn-based game?
