Trickster should have been CC, inhaling incense causes different status effects. Like tarring, drenched, etc. Summoning the corpses of defeated foes, to make a “pet”, would have been awesome as well.
we could've had alchemist instead of trickster too : ( i would make mystic knight into a Holy/Dark Paladin vocation that uses a flail and a conjured shield. but they won't do that, they even removed brontide the lightning whip and gave us a generic turret. majority of what is good in DD2 is just what is returning from DD1 and DDO
Trickster would have been better if everything did not require so much to set up (usually the enemy is already dead from my pawns attacks before I'm even ready setting up a deadly trap) And we need 6 to 8 skill slots instead of just 4. 4 is only enough to set up just 1 situational trap while being unprepared for all other scenario's. And its not like two sets of four skill slots would be impossible, DD1 did it.
Woulda made the perfect solo class, clones instead of pawns, snares, traps, a bunch of skills etc just troll but no comment I won’t play that class that simple
Agreed, I feel like the trickster has huge potential to be really fun, manipulating AI is always fun while watching them goof about. Right now it feels alright but it is way too restrictive and underdeveloped.
@@SkRo0L3w5e Or just illusions you can make "semi-real" (your pawns and you can walk over the platforms, but enemies fall through them, or your clone can actually move and attack)
Agreed, I really think the AOE taunt skills should just be upgrades of your X attack instead of equippable skills, so as you rank up your X attack gets better aggro generation and range.
like u mentioned in your description: too much setup for a few kills, when other classes do that in seconds. the trickster is a fun concept, but not that great of an execution imo
In other video it was shown that the trickster suffers in 1v1 battles against bosses. All he can do is kite bosses with his illusory duplicates, occasionally buff allies and when all else fails, he swings his censer for a pitiful amount of damage.
And getting hit destroys the clone and all the aggro goes to you so you can cast another, also attaching the clone to something usually makes it direct attention to you because it doesn't see the clone 🫠
@@quint3ssent1a I actually like to have my illusion cling to the boss, the boss constantly tries to shake it off but rarely succeeds. Still, in general I agree that the Trickster is too much effort for too little payoff.
@@quint3ssent1aIt depends on the boss and location. Anything that cannot fly can be killed instantly by ledging. If you cannot abuse that, your team comp has to be solid. Also, censer does no damage but will reapply aggro. You can get money out of it though. It is a fun and unique class but super boring if you are not into the playstyle or handling pawns.
You enjoy trickster by setting intricate traps. I enjoy trickster by turning my pawns into cracked out, blood lusted killing machines while i constantly stagger foes with my Dragonfruit flavor vape cloud. We are not the same
I love that I had to scroll for literally five minutes just to find someone pointing out the reason this class exists, despite the WELL KNOWN fact that it can't deal damage.
@@DovahVokunaI wouldn't be as upset about it being gone if Trickster had some actual ways of dealing direct damage. I genuinely feel like Mystick Spearhand should've been a Green/Blue hybrid instead of replacing Mystick Knight as Red/Blue. I can have Mystick Knight at home with Warfarer but it just... Isn't the same at all.
Or Mystic Spearhand force-push or home run swing. Trickster straight up sucks, it takes triple the time to kill anything and it's completely useless by itself. There are situations in the game in which you are separated from your pawns and if you're running this class you're pretty much screwed. It's even worthless to use on Warferer since all it's illusions go away as soon as you swap the censer. For real, they should have stuck with Mystic Knight, adapt a DDO vocation or anything other than this.
@Xfushion2 there's still ways to win In those solo moments you just need to be creative, like the mercenary 1v1 my friend tricked him into jumping off the bridge.
The Whimsical Daydream censer was worth finishing the riddles with the Sphinx. Luckiest strike so far was on a hobgoblin that netted 50,000 gold. Usually get 10's, 100's gold on each strike on an enemy.
It's a good class to level as their are some good augments that help U get alot of seekers tokens etc. I got the special daggers for the thief and can now find treasure easily as well.
Ngl, as much as I found Trickster boring, it was the best class for getting from point A to B quickly. Just keep tapping r1 to drag your smoke clone around and all the enemies that would normally be pouncing on you every 30ft target the clone instead. You can pretty much just ignore it all and keep walking.
It is never about kill time, but about the fact that you can show off your strategies and well-planned team comp. This is the Riddle of Contest into vocation form. Best at combat? No. Best at seeing monsters that can’t fly running off cliffs? Totally.
I did beat it but mostly using the balista, throwing ice cubes my pawns conjured or just buffing the pawns. Obv would have been faster with any other vocation.
basically nothing.. mainly because you're limited to only 4 skills so you can't really set anything cool up. we could've had alchemist instead, that would've been way cooler.
@@lucasdufer9499 because it’s a wasted spell slot for this build. Sorcerers don’t get any benefit from weapon enchants I don’t think and trickster doesn’t deal any damage with physical attacks. So I just prefer high halidom for status clearing and the rest as dps spells
yea now i am 100% sure that trickster is completely broken for me, enemies just DONT CARE about fumes and my clone. they attack only me and my pawns, and sometimes they attack the guy who i latch the clone onto.
My party survival rate is the highest when i use trickster and i dont even have mage I play with no setup like wall or floor Just make bunshin, buff your team, spam dragon, it even flinch the real dragon
Game needs an update/patch or an official post for a DLC or something I love the game already have tons of hours into it, restarted a bunch of times, but man…. basic DD was way better and I’m not even including dark arisen yet

So much effort just to kill goblins and it’s “the best class”
There was one he could've just picked up and thrown off the cliff himself.

Sounds like a necromancer not a trickster.
We lost Mystic knight for this 😭
We were robbed fr 😭😭
It got swapped out for a twinspear build XD
They might add it in the dark arisen like DLC where we might face death, and more powerful monsters 😊
Stay at DD then 💁🏻♂️💁🏻♂️

LoL. That LTG Pawn was unexpected. Nailed it
And yet highly fitting considering LTG's most known thing he's memed on for

I laughed at this more than I care to admit😂
How to do damage as a Trickster: 1. Unequip the censor. 2. Punch'em.
One of your pawns might have dragons plauge from that response.
Don't worry I heard that before. I heard that dialogue before. That stuff about the weapons plays if the pawn has an under leveled weapon.
Thief would kill them quicker and with more style. Sorcerer too. I don't see the point in Trickster.
The point is having fun at pranking someone, I guess ;-)
Y'all are missing the point. It's not the best class because it's the most effective or the least effort, it's the best class because it's _funny._
How dare you not playing the meta in a singleplayer RPG
I love that I had to scroll for literally five minutes just to find someone pointing out the reason this class exists, despite the WELL KNOWN fact that it can't deal damage.
"What are you doing? were in the midst of battle!!???" The pawn dont even know what the hell is going on.
I need the strider class back.
Warfarer. Thief + archer.
One minute setup instead of just one swing with a warrior 😞🪖

Trickster is the type of class you have fun with after you've completed the game several times
The only time I felt that the trickster was good was having Medusa stare at my illusion while my pawns do their work.
The detection augment is awesome
Gets annoying after a while.
I think Trickster has potential, we just needed more ways to attack with the environment.
Trickster + Solo Pawn is pretty fun.
Started a NG+ yesterday will give that a go :)
WAIT UR PAWN IS AMAZING LMFAO

I'm also using same
Trickster is cool I get it but it’s my least fav class fs the augments you get are good tho
Best class at throwing you loot away?
Trickster should have been a pawn available class. And trickster should have had access to formless feint instead of thief
God all games just seem so lame
Actually i prefer physical fighting
Waaaay too many body movements. Archer with good bow can one shot all those in a sec and you keep the loot
I HAD NO IDEA YOU COULD DO THIS 😂
Nice, makes me want to do this vocation next
Can’t even loot conveniently and lots of effort. Cool/funny but eh. It’s a gimmick meme class at best lol.
Most classes in the first one would clap all classes in this one though. And they'd do it with smoother framerate.
taking triple the time to kill some regular mobs isn't exactly "best"

Best class didn't even represented in DD2
If by "best" you mean "absolute frickin trash" then yea, I agree. This vocation is a joke and pretty much everyone knows it lol
like many things in this game, no one playtested this class.
Its such a dumb class to be honest. I have no idea what they where thinking. Why not make a proper necromancer?
This is the worst thing about dd2. Such a boring class. It should’ve been a summoner.
Pretty shit ai tbh
Nobody cares tbh
