In dragon's dogma dark arisen. you have a sort of option like that. you start a new game in hard mode and you'll keep everything you've accumulated. all gear, gold, resources everything. You start all over again with a brand new character you create. And once you're in game you can change settings back to normal or easy mode. all up to you! Also, with the same character you can change to any vocation you like. You don't need another character to try out a new way of fighting!

Same with how you have 3-4 bow classes (idk if strider bow acts different to assassin bow) and they all shoot differently. Assassin is a fast, mobile shooter, Ranger is slow, long range shooter, and Magick archer is this weird autolock, multi-target shooter. Same with mage and sorcerer. Both ate magic casters, but mage is more about support and buffing, while sorcerer is all about that long cast, high damage, AoE spells.

At least their are risks and consequences with Rebalancer. It takes up a skill slot and you have to charge the skill in safety. But yeah, MA is deadly, and adding the buffs makes it Even more deadly. I wouldn't say OP until the Blackwing, or Dragon's Breath is present. Then it is OP as Hell.

Magick Archer and Ranger are definitely the best vocations in this game. MA is great at killing all mobs and all but a few Bitterblack bosses, Ranger is an absolute Boss destroyer. Tenfold Flurry + Blast Arrows is insane and although the Mystic Knight is special to me since you can really play out a whole 'Paladin' type character and I do love the Sorcerer as they have some of the best spells (visually) of any game I've played, MA and Ranger is just too good.

You can actually destroy the ur dragon (offline) and daimon in less than 2-3 minutes with sorcerer. All you need is holy focused bolts and demon periapts (stacked 4 times), which is less costly and less weight than blast arrows as well. Of course this is boring, but definitely the most powerful. You don’t need to charge any long ass spells to beat these bosses.

@Jerry Smith rebalancer is the same thing as periapts. MA just has access to it as a skill, which requires you to prep before boss fight. Periapts just makes the farming process faster, significantly. I’d say the most OP class would have to be strider. The one move Brainsplitter rips through everything. And you can deal with wraiths with heaven’s key. So technically strider has no weakness.

Low level challenge run with Magick Archer isn't even a proper 'challenge', it's toolkit is so versatile and powerful in so many aspects it's astonishing - from physical and magical damage, multi elemental attacks, solo and group buffing, debuffing, self sustaining with heals, manipulation of the battlefield and general mobility (vault, dodge, levitate). Daggers and bow can be tuned to compliment each other well, and the staff (rusted; torpor + poison, oiled; tarred + blindness, golden; silence) is highly effective for debuffing via Focused Bolts or Perdition (+curse). The vocation sports a lot of strengths and scarce weaknesses, but a stamina guzzler like you mentioned it is for sure. Climbing wise, it feels subpar to strider although Immolation + buffs/debuffs compensate (mixed results per situation) for this. You summarised this and much more, basically you did a wonderful job on this video Nihil! Also enjoyed the music ;)

MA Build #1: Mage: 1-10 // Assassin: 10-100 // Sorc: 100-200 HP: 3588 // ST: 4150 // Attack: 618 // Magick: 596 // Defense: 267 // Magick Defense: 297 This one brings more STR and Health for more close combat and climbing action, It doesn't matter if the magic Stats are a bit lower than STR because the enchanted weapons for MA, specially the bow, would buff the magic damage by a ton. That's why Gear > Stats. The next one is Build #2: Mage: 1-10 // Ranger: 10-100 // Sorc: 100-200 HP: 3498 // ST: 4420 // Attack: 438 // Magick: 686 // Defense: 267 // Magick Defense: 387 The second build is more balanced for MA imo, it loses some Health and almost 200 STR, but in return it gives more STA, MagDef and Magic damage Which one do you like more and why? You can't go wrong in either case, even if you mix them a bit like: Assassin: 10-60 and Ranger: 60-100 OR Assassin 10-50 and Ranger: 50-100. At the end the difference it's minimal I guess.

If you want quick access to elemental, Magic Archer will probably be your better. You can have 3 elements on the bow, and 2 or 3 on Daggers. You still have the staff, which has each of the 3 major elements (fire, ice, lightning) too. I always say choose fire over holy, because if it's weak to holy, it is also weak to fire. But not the other way around. In other words, fire, lightning and ice are all you really need for elements.

Sorry for the late response. And yeah, ranger is not a bad way to level for a MA. But don't overthink it either. Don't worry about stats too much. Nihil once said its the weapons that give us our damage. Stats are only like 10% of the damage. And you can always go for straight 10-200 MA. The class gets what it needs anyways. I mostly leveled my MA build between fighter, ranger and Sorcerer. Just to give me a balance for enemies that are strong against magick attacks (Goblin shaman), and strong against physical attacks.

Great Vid! this is my favorite class to play. made a glass cannon version of MA, Sorc to 200 then swapped to MA, trophy hunters set, Diadem for magic boost, Acuity, Attunement. low stamina but with 9 fold bolt and 3k+ magic you don't need a lot of shots. It just shreds. For Augments I usually go with Attunement, Acuity, Conservation, Articulacy, Predation, Opportunism. I've been wondering if Emphasis is worth using. For skill set I usually go with 9 fold bolt, Ricochet Hunter, Explosive Volley. 1000 Kisses, Shadow Snare, Magic Rebalancer.
@Nihil0.06 жыл бұрын
That setup sounds just like how I roll with Magic Archer. Emphasis is a minor increase.

It would be nice if we could truly arrange our 6 skill slots, like if we wanted 6 bow skills and no dagger skills. Dragon's Dogma Online has changed it to have a current 4 skills, and a back up of 4 skills that you can switch. But, also a Magic Archer (Elemental Archer) only has a bow, and Seeker only has daggers. They got rid of multi weapon vocations. Personally I think I am fine with how slots are, or maybe it's just that I am used to it.

@Nihil0.06 жыл бұрын
Yep, both are….. All are. I like leveling 100% vocation. More dedication to that vocation intended. Or you can at least level 100% but you can only level 95% Magic Archer, but still the majority.
@raccoon94696 жыл бұрын
I wasn't sure if ma attack would suffer noticeably at max when leveling as ma only. I've seen a few people kill death in a few ricochets with a 10-200 sorc MA, is it still comparably strong after leveling 10-200 MA?
@Nihil0.06 жыл бұрын
Oh yeah, MA is still as strong. You are only getting an extra 400 magic attack with the Sorcerer route, but 1/4 less stamina, which MA needs a lot of stamina. I did a 100% run as each vocation, and MA was the quickest go through the BBI. Here is episode 1 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fofXi5VphKiipdk And this was without Acuity and Attunement and Articulacy. If you get those augments from Sorcerer, you would be even stronger. Below is another video with Magic Archer at lv30 (so no stats really) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y523oqiVptqbY6c&t

High Strength MA is a beast as well. Get torpor on an Elder Ogre or Dragon. Flame on, and Melt their HP. Magic Archer has great Utility skills that don't require any magic or strength too. You can trap everything you see, and chip away at them while they scream for mercy. So many options, so much fun.

I'm having issues deciding on what class to be. Mainly because Magic Archer and Assassin look so fun. currently i'm working on getting all my Strider abilities before moving onto Assassin, but can I switch between classes sometimes if I want without suffering? I assume you'd benefit mostly from leveling the mage class if you want to primarily use Magic Archer. I also really like Ranger...I'm so conflicted on what to choose, if I have to. It all just looks so fun.
@Nihil0.06 жыл бұрын
No worries about switching. The stats you gain will all balance out. The gear and weapons are what really provide us with our numbers. Even less of a worry if you switch between the yellow classes, like Assassin, Strider Ranger and Magic Archer. Those stats are focused in similar numbers. Yeah, play them all a bit, until you find that you really enjoy one over the rest. In the end at level cap (lv200) you can still switch to anything, and do just fine. Use Boosting Augments from other vocations, and keep your gear updated and upgraded

I'd been anxiously awaiting this vid. MA is one of my favorite vocations and you showed off how perfect it is for BBI. Cursing enemies, holding them in place with shadowshackle or vortex sigil then attacking with an element the enemies is weak to is the core of MA gameplay. I hate that you can't switch skills on the fly without a mod but MA is usually good enough to handle anything that comes it's way. Nice job. Looking forward to MK. BTW, other than using fold + blast arrows which vocation takes Death down easiest?
@Nihil0.06 жыл бұрын
Hey Derek, Magic Archer is very capable of handling anything. Access to Elemental damage is a huge advantage. True about the skills, I love more than 3 dagger skills and more than 3 bow skills. I can't say that about every vocation. i usually have exactly 3 skills that I love for the other vocations. Ummm, Strider's Fracture Dart is bad ass. Ranger grat Gamble with Preemption attack is pretty good. Magic Archer with Ricochet during Preemption attack, Magic Archer with Immolation and Thousand Kisses. I haven't really tried much with Mystic Knight on Death, but many claim it to be pretty good as well, with Abyssal Anguish and Full Moon. That sounds like a good video for the future.

@dmac930656 жыл бұрын
A Death video would be amazing. There aren't a lot of those out either. There are a handful showing bows using fold + blast arrows but very few showing vocations that cannot use that setup. Yours would be unique by virtue of that alone.

I just started my 3rd playthrough from scratch, this time I want to be a Magick Archer, the only problem is I don't like the stat growth for MA from 10 to 100. But on the other hand I already played another strider/assassin character and another mage character, so I'm a little bit bored with those vocations and am eager to jump into the MA stuff which I've never tried before. What would you recommend? Slog through 10 to 100 as strider for the stats, even though it won't be as fun for me? Or just bite the bullet and go MA right away?

@Nihil0.05 жыл бұрын
Just my opinion, but Magic Archer does best with magic and does best with spellbow. If you want to climb monsters, be Strider. I always go the same setup with MA, as Magic rebalancer Sunflare Shadowsnare Sixfold Explosive rivet Ricochet seeker Shadowsnare is great crowd control, while you keep distant with the bow. Sunflare is great for quick knockdown, when larger enemies are staggered. The only 3 Elements that I ever consider are Ice, Fire and Lightning. Those 3 cover any enemy weakness situation. Ward is great. I love Ward arrow, but for me the only debilitations that I am threatened by are Blind, Silence and Petrify. Keeping distance also keeps these debilitations from being a problem. But, just my opinion. I am me and you are you. Different styles. Different priorities.

Autonomy, if solo, but the rest not really. Most of Assassin's augments are not very good. We already have preemption, the augment does nothing. Watchfulness is very limited. Toxicity is for poison only, and poison does such little damage overall. And the rest are 100 to stamina or health only at night, so very limited while there are other augments that are constant. Poor Assassin got terrible augments, aside from Autonomy

The youtuber "wh1sper 123" has "Nonsense" series that prove min/maxing really doesn't matter, so there's no need to stress out about builds and just play for fun. In fact some skills can be used across multiple vocations, so switching it around a lot is actually useful. Basically, you aren't going to "break" your character.

@@MonadRimsire I know Min/Max doesn't really matter that much towards the end of the game because I watched Nihil's video on it.

Jk, I would say (and this is just my preference) start as Strider, and then get some Ranger's stamina. For the most part Magic Archer is at a distance and will get hit less often than others, also you have dodge roll for i-frames. Maybe after Ranger to lv40, switch to other vocations if you want their augments, like Sorcerer for Acuity or Warrior for Clout. After ranking, go full with Magic Archer. When it comes to stats, health and stamina are the only 2 that are tough to supplement with gear. Weapons give us our attack, Armor gives us our defense, but not much can increase health and stamina.
