I got it as well but I didn’t kill the dragon, i thought it was an item they gave you for the quest. I was popping as much of those pimples thing as possible. I was the thief so I can do as much damage as possible. I was wondering why would they give something so powerful in the early game. 😊
@@pastesir3025 the dragon eventually ends up flying deep into batahl into dragonsbreath tower, where you can fight it with Sigurd and get the weapon drop too
The Mystic Spearhand AoE Shield is incredibly strong and carried me the entire game. You could just spam that on a group of offensive pawns and do nothing yourself and its still strong. The fact that 100% uptime can be maintained even without much stamina or gear lets you and your party be invincible the entire game.
Quick tip about mirour shelde; it protects against not only damage but impact too. The shield acts as a shock absorber that prevents knock back and knock down skills.
One thing you should take as fourth Skill is that life steal regenerate stamina skill. You Can rotate through your skills and attacks with it endlessly without losing stamina 👍🏼
I really like using the mystic spear hand for traversal. That charge attack maintains height and makes crossing broken bridges super easy. And the up attack can sometimes get you up on ledges. So far it’s been my favorite to play
if you miss sigurd at the fight like i did there is a little town near the capital on the coastline called halve do the quest there come back a couple days later and the house at the end of the village this guy will be at
You can also get this vocation from the top of Dragonsbreath Tower at the bottom left corner of Battahl before you kill that red lesser dragon at the top :) That's what I did
I didn’t find sigurd In the halve village, and I went to the tower and killed the dragon but somehow during the fight sigurd disappeared , I have been trying a lot to get it
Your guides are awesome and so fast! Thx. But I found one mistake in your beginner guide… you said the game had no quick slot item use and this is not entirely true. Hold bumper button then press D-pad up or down for health/stamina respectively and press left to quickly open the inventory panel. Press right for lantern. Just thoughts id mention it. Played 9 hours straight till 4am… this game is sublime!
Once you get the Mirror shield skill, you essentially become indestructible. It absorbs all damage for the duration, and also gives the buff to party members in a certain range. Once you get this and get good at timing Foreboding Bolt, you have pretty much the best battlefield control in the game currently while also dishing out obscene damage with Winding Cut/Magicka Cut, as well as really good mobility. Class is absolutely bonkers.
For those having a trouble spawning the dragon like me you can go to the harve village once they have rebuilt from the dragon attack once you’re there you can directly talk to Sigurd and it’ll unlock the vocation
My priority for this game was the spearhand. I'm so happy this game is as good as i was hoping, and man the spearhand feels so good. Beat a drake on the battlefield yesterday 100% because of that bubble shield. Me the spear, friends warrior pawn, my sorcerer, and a random archer i got from a lost riftstone. Myself and the warrior were up front wailing on the drakes heart and i was casting the shield every time it breathed fire or did that damn jump attack. Fight still took awhile just to get 7k xp tho
If your having a hard time doing the winding cut you can also try hitting X once take a pause then mash X as much as you can, that usually works for me
Fighter Tank's my main, but I just started playing. The quest which forced me to go Archer for a bit was loads of fun! Wouldn't have otherwise chosen that class... but the combat felt refreshing & satisfying, now, I'm gonna try Mystic Spearhand next, then Magic Archer
Easily my favorite class, scratches that strider itch just a lil bit. A good bit of close range and long range skills, with a good distance closer. I’ve definitely think the “stasis” ability (I don’t know what it’s called off the top of my head) is an amazing ability. Helps overwhelm enemies and great for getting in a lot of hits in on big enemies when they are staggered
@@hirotv2621miss thief from climbing big stuff and stabbing them or something else. I went mage to sorc to mystic spewkhsnd because I played the assassin in the first game
Warrior is such a beast. I have been loving it as my main. Mage is so good I bring two but I dont like playing them lol. My main pawn is just cycling through vocations picking up augments and skills
You don't actually have to attack several times for winding cut. I've found that if you really really mash attack button then it will start up after the first hit
You can actually kill the dragon. When entering Melve take a right and follow it up to the ballista located on top the building deeper in the city. Just look up and you will see it. It will take 3 shots to kill him. For killing the dragon You get 8k exp and a weapon with 500+ attack power once you loot the dragon. @fextralife your info is wrong where you say it’s the only weapon
Hopefully this helps people. There's loads of ways to get the ability from him. If anyone messes anything up with him then you can max his affinity with gifts. If he doesn't give it to you when it's maxed then you will have to wait till he randomly approaches you( you'll see a little gold marker on your mini map just pop up. ALWAYS check out the random gold markers that pop up on your mini map!!!) He'll want you to escort him somewhere. He led me to a drake. And yes this all took place after I had already killed the infected one he wanted me to in the first place. I got the weapon from the drake but the dude just just disappeared without giving me the skill. Go back to his house after a day has past and he will give you the skill after the escort.
Stats get redistributed automatically when switching vocations, so you don't have to worry about level up Pathways. As far as augments go, Sorcerer, Mage, Thief and Warrior are what I feel to be the building blocks for this Vocation and they all capture elements of its playstyle too. Give them all a go and you won't be disappointed!
Dragon's Foin makes a great travel skill and seems to be much faster than sprinting especially since theres no slowdown when you have low stamina. In addition it can be used to clear aerial gaps.
I jumped on a cart that was crossing the boarder. I did have a permit and wanted to see what was over there. Turns out I was there illegally and the guards attacked me for it. 😂
I'm at lvl 21 and I did what uziman did then basically rushed my ass till Battahl, if anyone gonna do this early like my dumbass did, take 30k gold or have a ferrystone on hand, trust me you'll need 1 or the other
Scatering Bolt + Devout Offringe carried me through areas I wasn't supposed to reach yet. Throwing stunned enemies at each other, or off ledges, my low weapon damage became irrelevant.
Ya, after playing this vocation for a bit, it reminded me of how complex and fun Charge Blade from MHW is. They seem to have taken a page from how weapons play in monsters hunter.
Only have one addendum to this vid. In my experience, the spearhand is the class that simultaneously has to worry about stamina the most, AND the least at the same time. There's a skill he didn't mention that drains stam from enemies. It's kinda boring, but if you pair this with the shield you are virtually invulnerable. The shield gives you massive knockback resistance and almost complete damage invincibility. I think it lasts 7 seconds when upgraded. Most of my fights go - shield my party, jump in and attack a few times, shield again, attack, shield, and then when your stam gets low-ish use the stamina drain. It works on literally everything except ghosts and slimes. But I almost never use natural stamina recovery, since the skill is just so damn fast. Sorry I can't remember the name atm.
The big downside to spearhand is the lack of knockdown capabilities. I haven't toyed around with all abilities or doing the old DD1 trick of double barbed nails yet, but if you don't wanna play with advanced builds, I'd recommend traveling with a warrior.
@@MetalMonkey1453 Devout Offringe lets you throw nearby objects and enemys if they are off balance, its super easy staggering enemys with it since forboding bolt counts as "off balance" when you hit an enemy with it, so it lets you throw enemys super easily. Then you throw one enemy into others->They get off balanced->Pick up more enemys and throw them again, repeat until dead or if you wish you can throw them off a cliff too if you don't care about the loot. Or throw small enemys into bigger ones if they are around If you have the stagger increase augment from warrior you'll do just fine with throw+dragoun's foin
Definitely one of the “harder” classes to get into since the first 4 levels feels underwhelming but it is worth it if you enjoy the idea of vocation. It gets much more powerful by level 5
I was hyped for mystic spearhand before the release but after I found out that it has no dodge ability, I chose the thief. Honestly I do more damage as a thief and it's a lot more fun.
maybe some update will come in some future to complete the balance of the Mystic vocation one that enables at least some for of reliable Parry system for it aside the MIROUR SHELDE skill
That's not super necessary because each class plays quite differently from one another. You could max out fighter, mage, archer or thief and still not know what to do with mystic spearhand
If you are unable to get the Quest to Trigger in Melve, you're bugged. I was able to get the class from doing the Harve quest line. Once the villagers come back, the trainer will be in the coastal hut.
I think a lot of people are looking at this class the wrong way, I’ve personally been playing mystic spear hand like a baseball player. One of its abilities is picking up all nearby objects/enemies and boy oh boy when you throw it at bosses? Whole bar of health just gone
To anyone having trouble fighting dragons like I was, this class was amazing. Once you’ve got the upgraded shield ability, you can protect your entire party when eventually the dragon starts spamming explosions like he’s Bakugo.
While I love the idea of the Spear Hand, my main concern is that there isn’t really a dodge button. Thieves dodge, fighters block, but what can the Spear Hand do to avoid damage?
They have two dope moves the shield ability and they essentially have a counter they can spam to avoid damage while dishing out damage too just takes some getting used to really fun and good class
@@ethanemerson4862 honestly I never really tried to remember the skills name because they are spelled really weird but I think the shield move is called shield mirror and the counter move is like sky dragon toothfang or something like that
At 0:10 the chacter teleports between targets without delay and then he attacks alongside a shadow of himself. These are two things that are never mentioned in the video...
Honestly you covered the skills in this video perfectly i literally run the exact same setup you have, the vocation isnt as fast as the thief is so that shield is the only option for defense. The flying sword do some damage after upgrading. My first use of the class fund it very Difficult to use but after using for awhile got more acclimated to its weeknesses and strengths still miss the speed of the thief though the class does alot of damage with the launching spear atk. And gear currently is insanely expensive to buy but ill get it to where it needs to be once i get to battal
If your having trouble killing the Dragon at Melve with the Balista, I found you can comfortably bring the dragon down below half of its first health bar before heading to the Balista. This way two shots from the Balista (one whilst its still on the floor and one when its in the air) should be more than enough to kill the dragon. Some people have reported stunning the dragon whilst its in the air and managing a third shot, however i dont know if this is the result of a headshot or weakpoint hit and couldnt replicate it.
You have to super mash the the attack to get him to start swirling the spear. It needs to be tweaked in a patch I really hope they do it because I need to remove my thump and use my index finger to get it started.
So I just found out if you have any potions and you die if you hold down L 1 on PlayStation, you can still recover health. You just select one of your items they will replace the command for the pawns. You can also just quick heal in combat
Thank you for not trying to ruin the fun us who are actually playing dd2. It's refreshing not to just see complaint videos. People buy game, don't buy microtransaction that's what we boycot. The developers probably had little if any to do with them why punish everyone.
@Dandoskyballer Quit acting like the mtx is even remotely intrusive and an issue. FFS if it wasn't for the requirement to manually delete a save, which is completely moronic on the devs part, the mtx wouldn't even be a footnote.
welp i compleaty missed this one haha already did the dragon attack there and missed talking to him so found out that if ya miss talking to him in melve they the fishing village that has the port crystal ( forgot what it is) and go to the hut on the far right side of the village ya might find him there
Hey guys I have that problem that the dragon in melve didnt come after the taxi Quest. Has anyone the same problem? Thx for the vid you help me often with your guides😊
DId you do the monster killing quest from Brant or whatever his name is in Vermund first? The ox cart quest guy isn't NECESSARY as it were, I believe you can just run to Melve and the dragon will be there, but ONLY if you do the monster kiling quest first.
There is a ballista in the city. If you go away from the dragon that you can use to kill him if you kill the dragon, you can loot his body and give one of the strongest weapons in the game.
See I thought the issue for winding cut was I was doing it too fast so I tried slowing down. I guess when I get back on I'll see if mashing faster works. They really need to clarify some things in game.
If anyone has the same issue in their playthrough where there is no dragon in Melve when they go back, finish the Monster Culling Quest then go back to Herve. You can find the NPC that gives you the vocation in a shack at the eastern edge of town.
I was using thief initially to get the mystic spearhand and the thief passive that has a small chance to steal items on hit procced on the Drake and I got the best spear in the game from the start 😂
What build should I start as before acquiring the Mystic Spearhand? Fighter or Thief? I like the Thief build's fighting animations but I find them to be very vulnerable to attack especially at the start of the game. I am only at level 4 so I am contemplating starting over as a fighter. And I don't like how my character looks. He looks like Prince Valium from Spaceballs.
I unlocked this yesterday and immediately switched from a shield and sword. It takes some getting used to. I wish this game has a dodge button. I kept getting caught by attacks while I was also trying to attack. You really gotta be strategic about combat. But I love the mix of magic and melee.
Dunno, I found the shield extremely useful, it basically allows you to get a lot of rogues into party, shield them from all boss attacks and just spam damage It has little to no cost of stamina, and cast time short enough that if you predict bosses just a little, your party can basically take 0 damage from each fight
I got this a few days ago and it would not trigger the dragon encounter. I had to complete the first three quest you get from Captain Brand and then went to Melve and it happened. Spoiler: if you can take the dragon down, you get a sick weapon for spear hand
Which first three quest? I'm having an issue where it's not triggering either. I did the Seat of the sovran, culling of monsters quest and the Harve village saurian quest. I keep going back to Melve on the oxcart and still not getting the dragon cutscene. What ended up happening was on my way back from Melve to Vernworth, a dragon attacked that city. Weird
Mystic Spearhand totally inspire to roleplay a character like ODIN or some form of VALKYRIE but i think i will roleplay LECARDE/ WIND from CASTLEVANIA!!! Hell yeah
It's strong af, level 29 doing insane dmg to drakes & bosses, and the shield is literally broken, will be awesome to see late game, does the vocation not have "legendary" skills that are given by npc ?
Dragoun's Stabbe "Description: Kicks off a magickal platform to gain momentum before delivering a forceful jab. Also employable against flying targets." Is there trick to this ? Can´t get it to work, Only do a normal swing/attack. Thanks kindly.
I was so hyped for this vocation but now that I unlocked it it feels very slow and I’m on very light weight threshold. Does the weapon or armor you wear affect mobility? It’s just too slow.
Does the stats go up, depending on vocation, much like DD1? I remember spending hours getting all vocations to max to tank my character or is it just augmentation base now? Which it'll be easier and more fun.
Tbf aside from the shield skill i don't think this vocation is much of a hybrid support, this thing is a POWER HOUSE DPS BEAST, SERIOUSLY... I will share some of my tips and experiencie with this vocation which is the one that i played the most till now Get the Dragoun's Foin and you get the best gap close skill in the game that can also be used mid-air (and has incredible exploration capability). Get the Skiedragoun's Feste which is a counter skill and can also teleport you to monsters backs. Get the ABSURDLY BUSTED shield, no need to further explain why. And lastly is a flex slot, i personally use the maister technique which not only is the most stylish skill in the game it is also the reason why this vocation dish so much damage. Be aware of your stamina tho, if youre to use this kind of playstyle you will need to conserve your stamina as much as you can and play with it in mind. Also one last tip. Your Redouted Bolt (RB/R1) can be used as an animation cancel at the end of your combos when charged at least once, and be mindful that this is a NECESSARY mechanic if you want to be optimal of your DPS (it is also an amazing ability to deal with trash mobs, you can constantly use RB + A + Y and while in the stab animation you can already charge your next RB hence and repeat leaping from enemy to enemy).
I can't seem to activate Winding Cut reliably. It says to tap square repeatedly since I'm using a PS5 controller but my character just keeps doing the basic attack nonstop.
I’ve just come from playing thief vocation and I’m so used to the dash/dodge ability. Is there any tips for not getting hit on this vocation? Like do I need a certain skill to be able to dodge or what?
It seems none of these guides show how to do the teleport shown in the trailer. I have no issues hitting that first target, but the way it was shown in the trailer was teleporting to multiple goblins. With how short the window is, I don't get how that's possible.

Not going to jump on this class too early, still going have to learn the mechanics and how the game works,before anything else.
That's not super necessary because each class plays quite differently from one another.
You could max out fighter, mage, archer or thief and still not know what to do with mystic spearhand
If you are unable to get the Quest to Trigger in Melve, you're bugged.
I was able to get the class from doing the Harve quest line. Once the villagers come back, the trainer will be in the coastal hut.
The fact that you can charge Forbeding Bolt while other attacks are going on is the key I was missing before this vocation clicked.
I think a lot of people are looking at this class the wrong way, I’ve personally been playing mystic spear hand like a baseball player. One of its abilities is picking up all nearby objects/enemies and boy oh boy when you throw it at bosses? Whole bar of health just gone
Horrible analogy but thx for the tip😂
You do throw stuff in baseball...
Tip you can kill the dragon in melv with the blista with 3 shots and he gives you the mister skill and you get a really good spear
Found this by accident. Just trying to level it up to get more skills. I think I understand the flow but had to check 😂
You can cheese the dragon with the ballista on the tower by shooting it when it flys up to keep it there & get a really good spear from it's body
This is not a cheese, the Ballistas are there to kill Dragons and not shoot down Blackhawks….😂😂😂
To anyone having trouble fighting dragons like I was, this class was amazing. Once you’ve got the upgraded shield ability, you can protect your entire party when eventually the dragon starts spamming explosions like he’s Bakugo.
While I love the idea of the Spear Hand, my main concern is that there isn’t really a dodge button. Thieves dodge, fighters block, but what can the Spear Hand do to avoid damage?
They have two dope moves the shield ability and they essentially have a counter they can spam to avoid damage while dishing out damage too just takes some getting used to really fun and good class
@@TrayGolden cool! What are those skills called? I haven’t unlocked the Spear Hand yet.
@@ethanemerson4862 honestly I never really tried to remember the skills name because they are spelled really weird but I think the shield move is called shield mirror and the counter move is like sky dragon toothfang or something like that
Cant wait to get it..just got the wuests to return to maeve last night
At 0:10 the chacter teleports between targets without delay and then he attacks alongside a shadow of himself.
These are two things that are never mentioned in the video...
Honestly you covered the skills in this video perfectly i literally run the exact same setup you have, the vocation isnt as fast as the thief is so that shield is the only option for defense. The flying sword do some damage after upgrading. My first use of the class fund it very Difficult to use but after using for awhile got more acclimated to its weeknesses and strengths still miss the speed of the thief though the class does alot of damage with the launching spear atk. And gear currently is insanely expensive to buy but ill get it to where it needs to be once i get to battal
If your having trouble killing the Dragon at Melve with the Balista, I found you can comfortably bring the dragon down below half of its first health bar before heading to the Balista.
This way two shots from the Balista (one whilst its still on the floor and one when its in the air) should be more than enough to kill the dragon.
Some people have reported stunning the dragon whilst its in the air and managing a third shot, however i dont know if this is the result of a headshot or weakpoint hit and couldnt replicate it.
when the dragon is in the air if you hit it, it'll fall down stunned, 3rd shots basically a guarantee, I've done this about 3 times.
I almost let the negativity keep me from picking up this game. Soooooo glad I didn't! Working to get this vocation tonight.
It's freaking awesome 💯
You have to super mash the the attack to get him to start swirling the spear. It needs to be tweaked in a patch I really hope they do it because I need to remove my thump and use my index finger to get it started.
Very good guide. Which upgrade vendor should I use for the Spearhead? Balance, Physical or Magic? Like the upgrade vendors?
So I just found out if you have any potions and you die if you hold down L 1 on PlayStation, you can still recover health. You just select one of your items they will replace the command for the pawns.
You can also just quick heal in combat
That shield ability is so op
Thank you for not trying to ruin the fun us who are actually playing dd2. It's refreshing not to just see complaint videos. People buy game, don't buy microtransaction that's what we boycot. The developers probably had little if any to do with them why punish everyone.
Quit making excuses for them.
@@Dandoskyballerquit watching video game videos when you're a fake bandwagon "gamer" that hates every game like your NPC programming tells you to.
@Dandoskyballer Quit acting like the mtx is even remotely intrusive and an issue. FFS if it wasn't for the requirement to manually delete a save, which is completely moronic on the devs part, the mtx wouldn't even be a footnote.
@@Dandoskyballerit was more than likely a corporate idea to release the game w micro transactions and not the fault of the devs
welp i compleaty missed this one haha
already did the dragon attack there and missed talking to him
so found out that if ya miss talking to him in melve they the fishing village that has the port crystal
( forgot what it is) and go to the hut on the far right side of the village
ya might find him there
I think you mean Harve village ?
Ye that's the one
Had a brain fart lol
Hey guys
I have that problem that the dragon in melve didnt come after the taxi Quest.
Has anyone the same problem?
Thx for the vid you help me often with your guides😊
Same here bro😭 where is He?!
DId you do the monster killing quest from Brant or whatever his name is in Vermund first? The ox cart quest guy isn't NECESSARY as it were, I believe you can just run to Melve and the dragon will be there, but ONLY if you do the monster kiling quest first.
Hi yes i Figur outJust do a Quest from brant and then go to melve and the dragon is finaly there thx
going from thief to this feels soo slow, but i'll max it out and try to get used to it
same dude, feels like thief is more op
bro i tried to kill a drake as a mystic spearhand and got dealt with, this vocation isnt for me @@javierf6162
There is a ballista in the city. If you go away from the dragon that you can use to kill him if you kill the dragon, you can loot his body and give one of the strongest weapons in the game.
See I thought the issue for winding cut was I was doing it too fast so I tried slowing down. I guess when I get back on I'll see if mashing faster works. They really need to clarify some things in game.
I really wish there were more classes like the first one like imagine a ninja class or assassin class or a mystic knight would be dope
If anyone has the same issue in their playthrough where there is no dragon in Melve when they go back, finish the Monster Culling Quest then go back to Herve. You can find the NPC that gives you the vocation in a shack at the eastern edge of town.
Might need to fight off a dragon as you approach town.
I was using thief initially to get the mystic spearhand and the thief passive that has a small chance to steal items on hit procced on the Drake and I got the best spear in the game from the start 😂
How to unlock winding cut?
What build should I start as before acquiring the Mystic Spearhand? Fighter or Thief? I like the Thief build's fighting animations but I find them to be very vulnerable to attack especially at the start of the game. I am only at level 4 so I am contemplating starting over as a fighter. And I don't like how my character looks. He looks like Prince Valium from Spaceballs.
Whoa! I got to watch some tips videos!!!!
I unlocked this yesterday and immediately switched from a shield and sword. It takes some getting used to. I wish this game has a dodge button. I kept getting caught by attacks while I was also trying to attack. You really gotta be strategic about combat. But I love the mix of magic and melee.
I totally love this
Do I have to turn in the Monster quest to the capital for this to trigger because the dragon still hasn’t appeared for me?
Yes you have to go back to the bar.turn in the monster quest. Then head out
@@donaldedwards3997 Thank you
Probably my personal fav class, I feel like a medieval fantasy Darth Maul
Dunno, I found the shield extremely useful, it basically allows you to get a lot of rogues into party, shield them from all boss attacks and just spam damage
It has little to no cost of stamina, and cast time short enough that if you predict bosses just a little, your party can basically take 0 damage from each fight
Ive been struggling to consistently get winding cut, ill be spamming the button and it just doesnt want to activate most of the time
In case you don't find Sigurd after the dragon fight in Harve, he will be at his home in Harve in the Coastal Hut
This is some jedi shit man i love spamming the throw abilities lol
I got this a few days ago and it would not trigger the dragon encounter. I had to complete the first three quest you get from Captain Brand and then went to Melve and it happened. Spoiler: if you can take the dragon down, you get a sick weapon for spear hand
Which first three quest? I'm having an issue where it's not triggering either. I did the Seat of the sovran, culling of monsters quest and the Harve village saurian quest. I keep going back to Melve on the oxcart and still not getting the dragon cutscene. What ended up happening was on my way back from Melve to Vernworth, a dragon attacked that city. Weird
@@karljean-baptiste1195 yes those three and yeah I traveled to Melve in a cart and it happened
Mystic Spearhand totally inspire to roleplay a character like ODIN or some form of VALKYRIE
but i think i will roleplay LECARDE/ WIND from CASTLEVANIA!!!
Hell yeah
It's strong af, level 29 doing insane dmg to drakes & bosses, and the shield is literally broken, will be awesome to see late game, does the vocation not have "legendary" skills that are given by npc ?
whats the best starter for choose this class?
Ikr that shield is so broken
@@chrisenkilthief
@@Angkarpadevat damn I start a warrior :/
Dragoun's Stabbe "Description: Kicks off a magickal platform to gain momentum before delivering a forceful jab. Also employable against flying targets."
Is there trick to this ?
Can´t get it to work, Only do a normal swing/attack.
Thanks kindly.
Thanks great feedback
I was so hyped for this vocation but now that I unlocked it it feels very slow and I’m on very light weight threshold. Does the weapon or armor you wear affect mobility? It’s just too slow.
Does the stats go up, depending on vocation, much like DD1? I remember spending hours getting all vocations to max to tank my character or is it just augmentation base now? Which it'll be easier and more fun.
Tbf aside from the shield skill i don't think this vocation is much of a hybrid support, this thing is a POWER HOUSE DPS BEAST, SERIOUSLY...
I will share some of my tips and experiencie with this vocation which is the one that i played the most till now
Get the Dragoun's Foin and you get the best gap close skill in the game that can also be used mid-air (and has incredible exploration capability).
Get the Skiedragoun's Feste which is a counter skill and can also teleport you to monsters backs.
Get the ABSURDLY BUSTED shield, no need to further explain why.
And lastly is a flex slot, i personally use the maister technique which not only is the most stylish skill in the game it is also the reason why this vocation dish so much damage. Be aware of your stamina tho, if youre to use this kind of playstyle you will need to conserve your stamina as much as you can and play with it in mind.
Also one last tip. Your Redouted Bolt (RB/R1) can be used as an animation cancel at the end of your combos when charged at least once, and be mindful that this is a NECESSARY mechanic if you want to be optimal of your DPS (it is also an amazing ability to deal with trash mobs, you can constantly use RB + A + Y and while in the stab animation you can already charge your next RB hence and repeat leaping from enemy to enemy).
So I have to progress far enough to get the letter to go to the capital?
Good mix & match vocation skills for each vocation???
I can't seem to activate Winding Cut reliably. It says to tap square repeatedly since I'm using a PS5 controller but my character just keeps doing the basic attack nonstop.
It’s the opposite for me, I try to do normal twein combos but it activates winding too quickly
I’ve just come from playing thief vocation and I’m so used to the dash/dodge ability. Is there any tips for not getting hit on this vocation? Like do I need a certain skill to be able to dodge or what?
I loved fighter, warrior, and mage. But I unlocked THIS and bruh. It just feels too natural it’s my fave vocation so far
you should try thief, it’s better
Stormblessed
Kaladin says hello!
It seems none of these guides show how to do the teleport shown in the trailer. I have no issues hitting that first target, but the way it was shown in the trailer was teleporting to multiple goblins. With how short the window is, I don't get how that's possible.
I like the class...but i want my mystic knight...
Bro is a goat for this one
Quick quest of much weight I need is this class heavy ?
