NG+ just sets your pawn's sliders and stats to what they were at the end of your previous run (not counting when they turn into you, of course). I don't recall offhand if they give you a chance to change their appearance when you regain them, or if you have to use Art of Metamorphosis to do that.

God, I feel so conflicted. Should I do it? Or will BBI quench my thirst for a proper challenge?

>>149480642
Give BBI a try.

>>149480642
BBI/2.0 can pose a serious challenge up to like level 120, and a (very) few fights there can remain challenging up to 200 even with the best equipment.

That said, once you've played BBI a while, you can sort of control the level of challenge yourself, because BBI equipment becomes such a massive portion of your effective attack and defense that you can significantly increase challenge simply by equipping lower level equipment.

I've decided, /ddg/. I'm gonna start a new game on cahnsul (for berserk armor) and make a qt R63 Griffith and R63 Guts arisen and pawn combo. Which one should I make Arisen? Also should I go 360 or PS3?

>>149483643
>qt R63 Griffith and R63 Guts

just make rule 34 ones

>>149483802
I mean if somebody halfway decent at drawing wants to take a crack at it, we could do both.

The worst part about throwing everything away to start a new game is that you have to go through the prologue again. Guhhhh.

Anyone know if the game autosaves at the end of the prologue but before character creation? Or is it just one save at the start of the prologue and then another AFTER character creation?

>>149483643

Good review?

What other RPGs do you guys like? At the moment I can't stop playing Phantasy Star 2 and Breath of Fire, though other than the Capcom link for BoF I can't see much connection between them and DD.

>>149488257
Cassardis is very Spanish/Italian for some reason. The rest of Gransys is basically English.

It seems way more Greek to me. Either way, it wouldn't be surprising if the devs just thought of it as "Europe" and googled for "European coastal town" and "European castle town" and just went with that.

>>149488257
You know the fort where the hydra attacks you? That was built to keep the spics down that end of the map.

>>149489732
There's definitely some of that, too. Cassardis is basically a Mediterranean fishing village mashup.

So I've been working on this long enough and I started from a sufficiently hideous beginning (I transposed the sliders for the male Guts-expy default onto a female body for shits and giggles and got more of the former) that I can't honestly tell what this looks like anymore. Any thoughts?

She's 189.3 cm at the second to highest height slider, and I think Guts is supposed to be like 190, so she's quite tall.

>>149498437
I like her but then I do like girls that look like lesbians.

>>149498437
Chin is good, even tho it could be squarer.
Mouth could be bigger and larger, don't hesitate to give Gutsine plumper lips. Try to find a larger mouth that doesn't give her an overbite on her profile.
Nose is good.
Try to make her eyes bigger or make them go a little further from each other.
Lastly, it's personnal taste but I'd give her straight and heavy eyebrows if you want to push her manliness.

Mercedes is for _______

I'm honestly not surprised why my pawn tends to return with only 3stars constantly nowadays post lvl 150.

BBI has so much bullshit where your pawns fuck up and there's nothing you can do to help them and that's not even counting Death.

>>149500781
It's really mostly Death and maybe the odd pitfall.
Everything else should be fair game.

I gave her the bushiest angry/determined eyebrows (08). I think they came off a little less bold because of the color issues, but unfortunately you can't get super-bold eyebrows in CC. I'd love to be able to get pic related eyebrows for men or women, just in general.

BBI is fun and challenging, but what a fucking shit why do you do so little damage.

>>149503292
You need BBI gear to properly function in BBI.
Thankfully there's probably a few Weapon Lv2s lying around for that.

>>149503689
You don't think that it's because being the only one that can be those classes is something that makes the hero special? Like how the main character in Dragon Quest is always a unique class, the "hero class" with unique skills and stat growth? If Capcom were going to be lazy or rush something out, they wouldn't have done pawns at all. They could've easily got away with it just being a normal single-player RPG like just about anything else comparable to DD.

>>149504487
>If there ever is DD2 i hope they DONT listen the community at all.
Nice paradox.

>1st runthrough up to Daimon kicks my ass as Sorcerer
>on my way to 2nd Daimon I'm cutting through Condemned Gorecylops, Garms and Cursed Dragons like they were butter and my holy staff a warm knife
>carry 10~ Demon Periapts (as well as my better stats) and fuck both Daimon forms up

Amazing how I can nearly double my stats with equipment and still have trouble with the same shit I was stuck on before. Fuck that one flooded area with saurian sages + goblin shaman in closed quarters and the ogre that always arrives halfway through.

>>149504487
It's not like BBI has a lot of content, it's just got more interesting end-game stuff and it's so easy to get to the endgame in DD. They reuse areas so many fucking times it's not funny. The worst is when they don't change how you enter an area. Descending that tower area as skeleton mages banshees harass you is tense, and different enough from ascending for me to appreciate. On the other hand, the Garden of Ignominy is used 3 times and gets old very quickly.

I actually like Bitterblack, I just wouldn't ever want its tone or aesthetic to be the basis for a DD2. I think it was a nice change from Gransys as a side-thing, it's just sort of unfortunate that it's the only place that actually offers a challenge post-50/60 or so in a game with a levelcap of 200.

I'm thinking Griffith-chan should have relatively small boobs, /ddg/.

I want more musculature, but I'm afraid of bulking her up. I mean, Griffith's pretty skinny.

>>149507097
Well then if AI can be those classes then you can't blame it on them not bothering to make the AI use it. It seems like a design choice to distinguish the Arisen from Pawns - enemies can be the same kind of thing because their meant to be on your level insofar as being a challenge or a threat. The Pawns are these brainless buffoons who follow you around like dogs.

I can't remember off the top of my head but to go back to the DQ comparison, I wouldn't be surprised if some enemies throughout the series have basically been like an evil hero class.

In a sense it's only a good thing when devs dont listen to fans because when we think about it, official communities as in those that infest official forums are heaps of shit worse than 100 /ddg/'s lumped together with a spin of Tes-gen.
>>149505878
It has it's moments, mostly when you are going through it first time but post-daimon it feels like this shit is intentionally broken or they just went "lel let's just throw some random monsters here and there and call it a day :^)".
>>149505710
Yeah, i wouldnt have such a low opinion of BBI if they atleast didnt reuse maps, just reeks of either laziness or running out of time and having to put filler just for the sake of extra hour or 2 of gameplay.

Also it just keeps reminding me of Dragon Age 2 and that's something you really dont want your game to do.

>>149507880
So... Is that a vote for it being a decent Griffith attempt? :^)

Currently in the middle of doing a solo run anyone have any tips?

>>149507525
>It seems like a design choice to distinguish the Arisen from Pawns - enemies can be the same kind of thing because their meant to be on your level insofar as being a challenge or a threat. The Pawns are these brainless buffoons who follow you around like dogs.
That theory falls flat on its face when you realize that those same enemies who get to use hybrid classes are also pawns.

There is obviously more going on with your pawn's AI than with the enemies'. A fighter or strider will just get up close and hit you, while mages and archers will shoot you and (maybe) create some distance if you get too close. They may use different skills but their general strategy won't change. Inclinations alone makes your main pawn more dynamic and therefore more complex.

Done with the second doodle.
Can't draw fire for shit sadly, so you'll just have to imagine fire and brimstone on the bottom, hopefully the shading and lighing helps.

Now I'm pondering if I should go for an Octavia pin-up doodle.
Question is...
nude or non-nude ?

>>149510342
dressed like a japanese schoolgirl

>>149510342
Nude.

I wish they wouldnt make augments like +10/20% strength and such because those are just too good to not use which makes every build bland as there's only few slots for more unique and fun augments.

>>149510895
Stat modifiers are only fun if they're either small but universal (+5% for strength) or large but specific (+20% strength when climbing, +20% damage when attacking at full stamina etc. Things you can't have 100% of the time without going out of your way). Anything else is too centralizing.

Which reminds me, what sort of augments would you guys like to see? I'd want an augment where your main pawn can revive you, but it only works if you and your pawn have corresponding augments ('Reliable' for your pawn, 'Reliant' for you).So you give up two slots for one ability.

>>149512041
A 'Sensible Climbing' perk that allows you to climb a monster without spinning in circles or getting stuck under their armpits as well as rotate the camera while climbing so you can actually see what the fuck you're doing.

>>149510342
If you want your arisen or pawn drawn, don't hesitate to post some portraits.
Can't promise I'll be able to draw your pawn to your satisfaction but I welcome the training.

I'll see what I can do after the maybe-lewd Octavia pin-up.

>hydra head escort: kind of annoying
>early Gran Soren: I really like exploring big towns so I liked this, but you still don't really know what you're doing

At around this point there are shitloads of sidequests all over the place and you can get really distracted. It's good that there's so much to do but it really holds you back from the main quest and thus getting some more context.

As the main plot moves you north from Gran Soren, that's where it really started to take hold on me. The feeling of adventure and exploration really went through the roof for me at this point.

>>149515536
Once you get to Gran Soren and change vocations.
On your first playthrough I'd estimate that to be a good 5 hours if you keep sidetracking like I did.

>>149516719
>The feeling of adventure and exploration really went through the roof for me at this point.
The Shadow Fort quest is great in that regard. It sends you on quite a journey with some surprises along the way, and then you have a nice climax at the fort itself.

More core skills and upgrades in general would be nice. For instance, a staff/archistave coreskill that lets you float straight up at the cost of horizontal movement (you have to jump while still and hold space for it to work) and consuming stamina, or allowing for a gentle descent that ignores inertia for longer for landings. A coreskill that lets you bludgeon enemies with your staff while grappled on them for fighting golems. That kind of thing.

>Gargoyle or Harpy

Ehh, I feel like dividing it into 'land beast', 'humanoid beast' and 'sky beast' with branching 'evolution' paths would work better. So if you pick wolf you go from Wolf to Direwolf to Hellhound/Warg and finally (a smaller) Cerberus/Garm/Chimera. If you pick humanoid you go from lesser Goblin to Hobgoblin, then Grimgoblin/Skeleton etc. Start with Harpy, then you can branch into Gargoyle. Each companion would naturally have their own upsides; beasts can seek out items or carry you across land, humanoids are intelligent enough to handle tools or carry objects, aerial creatures can ferry you some distances or scout ahead etc.

Personally, Wolf all the way.

Chimera's kind of a stretch, but in mythology Chimera, Cerberus and Orthrus (aka 3 headed dog and 2 headed dog) were all born to Echidna, the mother of monsters. So having landbeasts end up as Cerberus/Chimera type things felt thematically appropriate; they're all beasties.

Spirits would be cool. I'm imagining they'd learn how to possess enemies and then jump off a cliff or something. That's how I deal with goblin shaman and banshees already.

>>149548013
Wait, i have an even better idea
You can either upgrade it into those red, slightly stronger spirits, a (smaller) golem, or a skeleton, the final upgrades being living armor (possibly gold/silver knights) and a giant skeleton (physically frail, but auto-reassembles after a short time
The goblin could possibly end at an ogre instead

>>149548891
Going from incorporeal to possessing a physical thing works pretty well. Obviously physical bodies have physical weaknesses but fare better against magic, while pure spirits have no physical body. And each physical body has it's own upsides and downsides; skeletons can be knocked apart, golems are weak to any kind of precision, armor can be rended and leaves the spirit vulnerable.

I think having them provide another inventory for carrying stuff and knowhow on using basic items (curatives, tools etc) would make up for their lackluster everything else. An ogre or cyclops might be dumb but they provide a big "FUCKING SHOOT ME" target in battle and out of battle they can carry your luggage. A beast can seek out stuff like no-one's business, flying is useful as fuck and spirits have tons of battle utility. Humanoids are humanoids, a '5th pawn' and 2nd 'main pawn'. It's utility.

>>149550237
Romancing your pawn would be the path of most resistance. You'd need to reject most other characters and rely just on your pawn, so your party is now 2. Then the dragon would naturally kidnap your fucking partner in battle so you're by yourself. Then you gotta choose whether to fight the dragon or sacrifice your beloved for your wish, which is probably 'make my pawn a real person' (enjoy that catch 22).

I mean it should definitely be a thing, I'd love a 'hard route'. But still.

>>149550237
hey
I have a question

if you choose to sacrifice your beloved, why do you have to rule Gransys alone, without your pawn?

>>149550567
Your pawn's existence would betray the 'fact' that you 'slayed the dragon'. It's why Edmun's pawn is nowhere to be seen, and why pawns aren't allowed in the castle.

>>149550696
What if you told your pawn to -not- tell people that?

I mean, there are pawns in the Everfall who just stand around for eternity doing one thing because their master told them to do so. The Fool is going stand in his mancave feeling sad that the Dragonforged is dead forever. They can be quiet too. Selene is just hanging out in your house, quietly, forever.

Edmun couldn't just do that for whatever reason, so who knows. Maybe once you make the bargain with the dragon, you lose your power over pawns. After all, pawns are drawn to you because you're on the quest to confront the dragon. Or maybe that specific bargain means you lose your pawn; Dragonforged made a deal for knowledge so Grigsy let him keep his pawn. Edmun made a deal for power so Grigsy took his pawn away.

I mean, your point makes sense but the one character you'd expect to practice that very idea doesn't. Plothole, unexplained detail, who knows.

>>149550451
Is the one in the trophy jacket a pawn?

>>149551031
I really think there are two major potentials for Edmun's pawn that are more likely than "for whatever reason, Edmun isn't allowed to or would be unwise to keep his pawn around him."

The first is the possibility that his pawn WAS Lenore, which, while a stretch, explains a great deal.

The second relates to his mental state. He's clearly unbalanced, and suffers a great deal of paranoia concerning at least a few aspects of the cycle. Owing to the way pawns tie into the cycle, not to mention the potential that his pawn(s) may have been somehow directly (at least from his point of view) involved in circumstances leading up to his betrayal of Lenore (or some other trauma to which we are less privy), he may distrust, fear, and/or hate pawns without any real reason.

Thing is, whatever I do there are flickery jaggies in the distance on buildings. With max HQ3 FXAA it was still there; forcing X8 normal AA through my graphics card didn't do anything.

Anyone have this problem?

Use a postprocessing injector for AA.

>>149565647
ENB uses its own AA. Enabling game AA in most games causes glitches with ENB. Turn on Edge AA in ENB. You can also proxy another injector (sweetfx works iirc) that has SMAA, the best quality:cost ratio for AA as far as I know, through ENB. Get one of those, enable SMAA in it and change its d3d9.dll to something else (like SMAA.dll) so it doesn't overwrite ENB's before dropping it in the folder. Then in the top of ENBlocal.ini (also the file where you can enable edgeaa), at the top find this shit
[PROXY]
EnableProxyLibrary=false
InitProxyFunctions=true
ProxyLibrary=

Change the first thing to true and add SMAA.dll (or whatever you named it) after proxylibrary. That loads the second .dll and its inis after ENB's, so you'll get the SMAA in addition to ENB's effects.

Are you taking your screenshots with steam? Don't do that, it has trouble picking up postprocessing. Of course even fraps is weird with some game's native postprocessing (doesn't pick up witcher 3's AA, actually haven't run into another game it has problems with), but it's what I use for DD, Skyrim and most games and it seems to work fine for those. I recommend pirating it. If you have an nvidia GPU, shadowplay is strictly better for screen capture from what I've heard.

>>149568818
yes

>>149569086
Well I just google for SweetFX and got it with something called Reshade. I did what it said in the Readme and set it up but now it's fucked up the ENB and the game is all purple.

>>149565647
>Also for some reason screenshots taken with the ENB on look like a grainy mess. It doesn't look like that in-game/
Use a better ENB. It does look like that, in motion it just looks a bit better because grain moves and what not.

The only way to get rid of the aliasing is downsampling. Which would also help your blurry screenshots.

>>149569969
You can use the enbproxy file in this mod for reshade+enb. Maybe the newest Reshade has issues though I dunno.

More or less. The way I see it, the game is a celebration of roleplaying and escapist fantasy. That's why it has a kitschy medieval fantasy setting with a "save the princess from a dragon!" story ripped straight from a fairy tale, coupled with cycles and willpower and etc. It's trying to evoke the feeling of the sort of fantasy stuff you grew up with, similar to something like Dragon's Crown (albeit with much less humor), while telling a story about The Power of Imagination.

Or maybe it's just buddhist shit like the other anon said, but I like my understanding of the game more.

>>149583374
It's possible to transfer all pawn knowledge from an old pawn to a new pawn when making a new character, but more likely it's just people save editing.

>>149583065
I think it's just a crack at the WRPG market and it contains many WRPG tropes as seen by Japanese people and/or JRPG fans. The extremely generic setting, the bland NPCs, the open worldness with only a small main questline and huge focus on somewhat generic and repetitive side quests. The way in which party members are just mindless, ahem, pawns who follow you around and have no real personality or anything (there are some exceptions, like Bioware games, but even then go back to BG1 and it's largely true). A large focus on character creation, too.

They took that as a basis and then thought about what they'd add to that basic mould and so they added better combat (not just standing there and holding down a mouse button) and tried to add something to make the pawns more interesting than just drones. But yeah, it overall feels like a Japanese study of the WRPG in which they couldn't QUITE settle for the basic standard and had to make it better than most still.

The implication is that pawns lack will, not soul; and not that you're god, but essentially his steward.

Free will is something a bit titchy in monotheistic religions. The typical consensus seems to be that god either can't or won't touch free will, and certainly nobody else can. While many monotheism's imply god can create free will, if nobody else can even come close to touching it, it's pretty unlikely that the seneschal can create it.

I interpreted that as a literal "we need to find people that are controlled by players."
The pawns are a race of NPCs, there can't be players among them. Humans on the other hand have the potential to be player characters, so the dragon displays himself as the "bad guy" bait to lure them out.
The "will" of the player here is something that it syphoned from outside the game universe INTO the game, and the arisen is just a conduit for the player to power the plot and universe.

Except if it hadn't died, why would the rift be giving you a copy? There's no implication anywhere in the game that it's capable of doing this unless the original pawn is dead. You can't go into the rift and hire a clone of a pawn you've already hired if it's still hanging out in your party.

>And here is one of the worst things about Dragon’s Dogma. There is nothing going on with my character. He doesn’t talk and is completely blank

You mean like every other WRPG main character ever? At least the Arisen actually has some facial expressions, unlike [insert BioWare protagonist here].

>>149594454
A lot of JRPGs too, to be honest. For example, Dragon Quest for the most part. SMT is quite like that usually to a large degree. Ryu in BoF is quite blank slate. Hell, even in what's generally a very characterised series, the MCs of Persona are blank slate as fuck too. I've been playing Phantasy Star again recently and those MCs speak about 4 times in the whole game (other than in IV).

It's really just FF, Tales and Star Ocean that have really strong protag characterisation - even then, there are exceptions (like FF1, 2, 3, 5, 11 and 14 and 8, kek).

>>149594454
To be fair, most WRPG protagonists are quite chatty, Bioware's included.

Silent protagonists are more of a JRPG thing.

>>149595182
Don't forget Chrono Trigger.

I would use my pawn as an onahole.

Fuck me how do you even beat that Living Armour x3 in the Fallen City? At lv154 I cakewalk through every boss in the game but dat fight still hands me my ass everytime.

>>149595448
Change vocation to Magick Archer or Knight.

Dont even bother trying even if you have 3 spellcaster pawns going around.
Those cunts are pain even if you are playing sorcerer because ;lel block'd u're of fire blastu~

>>149595372
If you go back to more traditional ones, like the 10 or so Might and Magics, Wizardry and so on, no one has any personality or lines at all. Like take the MC in Persona 4, he's a blank slate somewhat but he is characterised lightly here and there. These guys are literally just portraits. I like those games, I really enjoyed MM7 for example and in that game your party is just a bunch of pixelly portraits with numbers attached, not a single bit of background or anything. Also TES games are like that too.

There's also a difference between the "choose a line and trigger the NPC to say something" systems of games like Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate, Fallout etc and then something like FFVII where everyone is a full, developed, defined, character, like they're in a book or film. I think that cumgobbling "reviewer" wanted the latter.

I sneaked behind them via riftstone and blasted them with high maelstrom/grand seism and all it did was piss them off and they came and whooped my ass.

Will try MA when I switch over at 200, heard MA makes everything in BBI easy. Never play red class, hated it, can't imagine a red can beat 3 LA, maybe if you spammed perfect block or something.

>>149595372
Chatty or not, they have no personality, no character growth, and have essentially zero impact on the story beyond Sir-Dicksaroundalot-saved-the-day!

I like (good) WRPGs for what they are, but for most of them, their strengths do NOT include having a main character that's much more than walking post with a sword.

...actually that'd probably be more interesting.

>>149595448
I pulled one by one as a Strider and brainsplitter until they're in their spiritform and patiently wait (and occasionally interrupt its animation by shooting arrows) as my sorcerer pawns spam High Bolide.

Wait a minute, why does no one ever mention your parents at the start? I mean, how do I put this? Regardless of any twists later in the story, from the perspective of a player at the start of the game, it's funny how people just accept you being there with no parents and no one even mentioning it like "It's been 10 years since the village chief killed and ate your parents..." You're just there, like you just spawned fresh from a character creation menu.

>>149595448
If you're playing physical, it helps to have perma-enchanted weapons as back-ups so you can switch when the armor falls off.

If you're playing blue, spam your most damaging spells. Seism and fulmination (if you have pawns getting up in their face) are especially helpful, but don't underestimate frigor and comestion if you draw aggro.

>>149597535
>If you're playing physical, it helps to have perma-enchanted weapons as back-ups so you can switch when the armor falls off.
These seem to do jack shit or atleast the suggested holy daggers from Offline Ur-Faget for dealing with those barely make a dent on them after armor break.

>>149597275
There are a few times where it's mentioned, either directly or obliquely, that the chief took you and Quina in as orphans and raised you. What happened to either set of parents is never really explored, but as with most Japanese fiction of this type, it's pretty much assumed they died of disease, accident, or monsters.

>>149597275
You do have your own one-bedroom house, so you've obviously been there for awhile.

That doesn't answer where/if your parents are living, though.

I suppose to a certain degree it helps avoid having to program a system for figuring out how old your parents would be given your apparent age and how they'd look given your appearance. That's even without going into how not having parents is a solid trope for this kind of story.

>>149597845
I played my first playthrough, including through Daimon 2.0 a couple of times, as an assassin mostly using the cursed level 2 enchanted weapons (I didn't know how damage thresholds worked back then) with relatively balanced attack/magick stats and no periapts and while living armor was annoying, I never had much issue surviving the fights if I approached carefully.

Not trying to say git gud, I'm just honestly baffled if my weapons were doing damage and yours aren't. Maybe if your base magick stat is too weak, it's difficult to break their defense threshold? You could try the sorcerer augments and demon periapts if you've got them.

Might be, i have under 300 on it because i mostly played Assassin or Warrior all the way to max and those have crappy stat growths for casting shit.

Even with goldforged holy daggers it just feels like im some annoying fly flying around doing nothing but being annoyance though i never thought of using periapts.

They aint that hard with MA or MK though but that's because lvl 3 goldforged MA-bow or Mace adds shitloads of stats and Cannon is just op as fuck.

New player here, is Mystic Knight good?

Fighter does not feel paladin enough.

>>149599869
It's good but not really "paladiny", more of a battle mage and it's possibru you'l end up spending most of the time playing MK just summoning new Cannon and hacking it until things are dead.

>>149599869
Mystic Knight is very good if you like parrying to do damage and/or slashing balls

>>149581725
What ENB is that?

>>149599869
I like them a lot. There isn't really a paladin class. One thing you can do is have a MK that looks like a paladin and then have your pawn be a healing-focused "page" that follows you around.

A shame. The game is all about high fantasy, and high fantasy paladins are bonkers.

You could just make a Warrior fully armored from head to toe, then have a pawn enchant your greatsword/warhammer with Holy element to make it glow white.

Unfortunately, there is only a single healing spell, and it can only be cast by a single class: Mage.

Is a loli fighter pawn a terrible idea?

I couldn't remember what class I was currently highlighting for the pawn so I had to do a lottery. I got mage.

>>149599869
it's pretty solid albeit kind of tedious to play imo. On the other hand, while it's the most paladin/cleric of the classes, it does not meet its full potential playing like that unless you have extraordinarily good pawns that are rangers, striders or sorcerers, in which case the support you can provide will multiply their damage and greatly increase their survivability so they can sustain damage. People will tell you playing a support class is bad because pawns are weak and stupid. That isn't true, the reason it's bad is just that it's pretty boring without the element of interacting with real human beans. Pawns with utilitarian tend to "play" pretty smartly and if you give them periapts or use group buff potions on them they're each just as strong as an arisen.

You could probably best play a paladin with the cheatengine mod that lets you mix weapon classes/skills and using MK skills on a mace with a shield that has fighter skills or use a magick shield and have one or two assassin skills on your mace in addition to magick cannon or whatever MK skills you want there.

That way to play offencively you don't have to buff your shield, elemental buff yourself, drop two cannons in the .6 seconds your enchantments are up, optionally drop a ruinous sigil on top of them, glue yourself to them and hope something attacks you in the 4 seconds that the cannons are both up, perfect block it and repeat because now both of your enchantments, your shield buff, your cannons and your sigils have all faded. You can basically play MK three ways: That way, as a shittier fighter or as a support cleric. With the fighter shield though you'd have sheltered fussilade to more aggressively pound your cannons, while with assassin sword moves you have windmill to do the same (and keep neat magick shield skills like abyssal anguish).

Then again that's not playing the game as it's designed, so it's up to you.

>>149604132
Mage is actually a pretty solid starting class, even for min-maxing (assuming you aren't trying to get absolutely tip-top maximum attack stat). You'll get the extra mdef, which is important, stamina growth isn't as awful as post-10 mage, and mage actually gets 12 stat points per level up from 1-10, compared to 11 for strider/fighter.

Well I might as again when I'm that level. Might also leave her as mage. I'm toying with the idea of going MK since I liked it before, or just staying as a pure blue. If I go MK then I'll probably leave her like she is.

>>149606017
You can swing a mace and buff your own weapon with element + abyssal anguish with your shield, but that's rarely going to cut it for bosses. Abyssal anguish is the one thing keeping the non-parry-focused MK relevant compared to fighter, since it makes your basic swings much more powerful.

If you want to swing a big hammer around, though, do as >>149607916 said. Up until bitterblack (particularly in BBI's NG+) it's very powerful, though it's lacking compared to other vocations at that point. Warrior is very satisfying to play even though it's very simple.

Not a bad idea really.
I had shorstack-fighter pawn for 100~ levels and the lack of reach and lower knockback resist were really an issue compared to other more lanky fighter pawns i hired.

Shorties work better as striders/rangers though better leave her as mage so you can have designated buffbot to fiddle for every kind of encounter.

Grigori even says 'time flows with your footsteps, world revolves around us' etc. The classic 'knight slays a dragon' story needs someone to slay a dragon and a dragon. Nothing else matters. Your fight is what makes the universe exist, and when the dragon dies the world starts falling apart at the seams until you do all the seneschel stuff.

>>149610776
