Sorcerer | Dragons Dogma 2 Wiki

Sorcerer is an Advanced Vocation in Dragon's Dogma 2. The Sorcerer is an offensive magicks unit that specializes in casting powerful AoE spells with long cast times. Vocations are the many character classes the player can choose from. The Vocation you choose for the Arisen or your Pawns dictates what Weapons and Skills they are able to use, as well as how their stats increase per level up. Some Vocations are only able to be used by the Arisen.

 

The Sorcerer is a vocation completely specialized in various magick attacks.
Their magick is conjured with both hands through a large staff, and can change the tide of battle at any given opportunity. As their magick spells take longer to cast, it is key for the Sorcerer to find a safe place and determine the correct moment to strike.

 

How to Unlock the Sorcerer Class in Dragon's Dogma 2

• Pick up the side quest Vocation Frustration from Klaus at the Vernworth Vocation Guild in Vernworth.
• Complete the side quest: Vocation Frustration. The side quest tasks the player to find and bring an archistaff and greatsword to Klaus.
• By bringing the weapons to Klaus, that you both find inside chests in Trevo Mine, you'll gain access to the Sorcerer and Warrior vocations.
• Acquiring or unlocking the vocation at a Vocation Guild requires 150 Dcp.

Where to Find the Sorcerer Maister in Dragon's Dogma 2

• Assigned Maisters: Trysha and Myrddin
• Related Quests: Spellbound and The Sorcerer's Appraisal
• Maister's Locations:
  • Trysha's location: Eini's Home [See Dragon's Dogma 2 Map]
  • Myrddin's location: Myrddin's Home [See Dragon's Dogma 2 Map]

Trysha and Myrddin are the Maister NPCs players must interact with to acquire the two different scrolls. Trysha provides Conjurer's Jottings which unlocks the Meteoron Sorcerer Skill for yourself and your main pawn. While Myrddin provides the player with Myrddin's Chronicle, that unlocks the Maelstrom Sorcerer skill. Players must complete related quests to acquire the scroll item. These quests are Spellbound and The Sorcerer's Appraisal.

• TIP: The five grimoires that Trysha asks from you are the same that Myrddin needs for the quest "The Sorcerer’s Appraisal".
• When you have all 5, we highly recommend that you have these tomes forged at the forgery shop (Ibrahim's Scrap Store) behind the Vocation Guild of Checkpoint Rest Town [See Dragon's Dogma 2 Map]
• Once you have the copies, give the original grimoires to Trysha and wait a few days' time. A single day to rest should be enough.
• Check on her after a day and you'll find her outside casting magic. AVOID THE SPELLS OR JUST MAINTAIN DISTANCE AND WAIT UNTIL SHE STOPS. DO NOT ATTACK HER. Once she stops or is exhausted run towards her to grab and pin her down with R2.
• After this, you'll need to rest for at least a day for her to recover before you can visit her in her home. A scene with Trysha will play here and you'll get the Conjurer's Jottings scroll from her, including the Enchanter's Almanac from Eini upon completing the quest.
• As for the quest, progress The Sorcerer’s Appraisal, and give the copies to Myrddin to complete the quest and receive Myrddin's Chronicle.

 

Dragon's Dogma 2 Sorcerer Guide: How to Play

Sorcerers wield archistaves to incant a wide range of powerful spells. Their magickal onslaught can turn the tide of battle in an instant, dealing damage over a wide area or inflicting multiple enemies with debilitations. Incanting spells takes time, however, and must be done from a position of safety, lest the caster be left vulnerable.  Hold down the heavy attack button to use Galvanize and rapidly recover stamina. Casting powerful spells is taxing and consumes a large amount of stamina, so to ensure your magick is at your fingertips when you need it most, keep a close eye on your remaining stamina, and use galvanize as needed. 

Spells must be incanted before they can be cast, and the more complex or powerful the magick, the longer the time required to incant it will be. Incanting leaves you vulnerable, however, so take care when and where you cast. You can move while incanting, but doing so will increase the time required to ready the spell. Certain magicks allow the caster to select the target of the spell. While incanting, you can select or switch between targets (be they friend or foe) by using the camera controls to center the camera on your chosen target. Attack magicks must be incanted before they can be cast, and this takes time. However, if you approach a fellow caster while they are incanting and begin intoning the same spell, you can help them to cast it more quickly. This is known as auxiliary incanting, and it will allow you to cast powerful spells with greater frequency.

Sorcerer is a beginner friendly class that specializes in dealing large amounts of damage over a wide area. In addition to the basic elemental damage spells that the Mage vocation can cast, Flagration, Levin, and Frigor, sorcerers gain access to larger elemental damage spells Salamander, Thundermine, and Hagol. Physical damage can be dealt with Seism. While these skills all have their place, the skills Meteoron, Maelstrom, and Augural Flare allow for the greatest damage when used properly. Indeed, few classes have the ability to deal as much raw damage as sorcerer.

The long incantation times of sorcerer spells can be somewhat countered by using rings that increase incantation speed, namely Ring of Recitation and Ring of Articulacy. Increasing the incantation speed is likely the best way to increase the overall damage output of sorcerer. Since being staggered will cancel the incantation, it is also important to add as much knockdown resistance to your gear as possible. Enhancing your gear with the dwarven smithing style and equipping the Constancy augment is the best way to do this.

Being attacked may cancel your spells, so it is important to have other vocations in the party that can draw the attention of enemies and tank while the spells are incanted. In particular, a Fighter, Warrior, or Trickster can all excel at drawing the attention of enemies. A Thief with Formless Feint is another option for tanking, although you may need to use augments and rings to increase their threat generation.

DD2 Sorcerer Stat Growth

---

Stats in Dragon's Dogma 2 grow in two ways - temporary Stat Adjustments from choosing and adopting a Vocation, and increases that happen per level, modified by Vocation Stat Multipliers. Stat Adjustments happen instantly whenever you change into a Vocation. This means that when you choose your Basic Vocation during Character Creation, you'll likely already have these Stat Adjustments already applied to your Stats. Vocation Stat Multipliers are relevant whenever your character levels up.

DD2 Sorcerer Other Notes & Tips

• Additional Notes & Tips for the Sorcerer go here.
• Versatile: This is one of the easiest trophies to obtain, and you won't miss it. Just chance your Vocation for another one. It doesn't matter if you stick with it. In certain Inns or Guild Halls, head to the clerk and interact to select the option to change your Vocation. It costs you 100 Discipline Points.
• The Specialist: You have to reach Rank 9 in any Vocation. Players will level up their Vocation as they kill enemies. As you play through the game, you will eventually reach rank 9 with, at least, one of the Vocations.
