Do you play a lot of video games? Are you tired of playing video games? Do you wish that the NPCs in your video games would do all the fighting for you so that you can kick back, relax, and watch from the side lines? More importantly, do you still want to take all the credit for a hard-won battle? Boy howdy, does Dragon's Dogma 2 have just the class for you.
The moment I unlocked Trickster, the combat-free DD2 vocation, I was immediately confused. Touted as a magical, Arisen-only support class that serves to deal minimal damage while "sowing chaos on the battlefield" by way of illusory mischief, it sounded like everything I would not want to play as in this game. This is a combat-heavy RPG we're talking about, with each vocation offering a dynamic fighting style to suit any and all preferences – including, apparently, a preference for wildly chucking smoke at enemies instead of killing them. What drove me toward swapping my maxed-out Mystic Spearhand vocation to that of the Trickster was not a deep, abiding desire to resemble a very sexy censer-swinging high-fantasy priestess, but pure curiosity. What led me to level it up so fast? Well, that was a pure accident.
