Yes, so true. It's all in the details. The moving camera motion, angle, realness and multidimensional feel of the animation, motion of the character, the way it hits and affects targets...the combination is unlike any I have experienced anywhere else. I feel like other games just have fancy, pretty animations and that's it. Feels like the game playing a video of a pretty animation when you use a skill.
It feels good since you also have to rely on your team to keep the enemies off of you. I was sad I couldnt heal as a sorcerer though, having a mage is fine but thats the trade off, you dont get the Megumin level spells from them.
Got ambushed by a dragon double my level. Cast this shit under him and fled. To my surprise this tornado stripped an entire healthbar because it was consistently hitting it's heart.
@@liambrasier6590you can one shot most things in the game regardless of level if you know how to use the crafting system. Takes less than 3 seconds to kill super daemon with priapts and explosive arrows for instajce

The sorcerer vocation is the single best magic caster class in any game imo You can summon tornados, call meteor, become a conduit of untamed lightning and summon spires of ice from your fingertip All in a non turn based rpg
@jslover761 Assuming you dont get interrupted. If you triple cast it, its hella worth it but good luck finding any sorcerer pawn equipped with it since its so niche.
Loved this spell and the Meteor,pretty fantastic especially when you and the pawn synchronize and uses both spell together,it make you really felt like a magician compared to most other game with their spell
@@mikeholt2852my favorite memory from DD is getting bolide for the first time and using it to just bombard the 2 ogres near the abby at night. It was incredible.
This was one of the best games ever. I tell people about it all the time and almost no one remembers it. Never has an RPG had better combat and classes. I remember using some of my PSN friend's pawns. So cool. So many great mechanics. And Japan had an online mmo version. So pumped that they're making a sequel. This game should have had the success that the Dark Soul's series had.
One time, I was grinding through BBI, and ran into the room with 2 gorecyclops chained down along with sorcs in it. I failed to take down a couple sorcs in the dark who casted maelstrom, so the three tornadoes they called decimated my pawns. My health supplies I'd brought lasted me through the maelstrom, but Death showed up and... well I'm sure you can guess the rest. DD is one of the most under rated games. I wish Gransys was a little more fleshed out prior to post-game, but that was my only complaint. Easy 9.8/10!
My favorite part is that if your pawn has the spell as well and you start casting so will they, not only will it speed up the cast time significantly but when you finish and release the spell two tornadoes will appear at once
Yup. Cast syncing was one of the most ambitious mechanics in the game (right up there with literally climbing the monsters like shadow of the colossus)
my only problem with that spell is during combat, my pawn cast it right in front of my face, can’t see s**t for like 12 second while fighting against an elder orge in a dark tunnel/sewer
@@SheenShotsin hard mode if its not launching the elder ogre its likely not being able to see is a death sentence lol whether its a chuck norris kick or hims nomming on you after grabbing i dont know if anyone can survive on hard in this mess lol.
Just don’t bother fighting in it then, get out and taunt them out or just be Mystic Knight and shoot them with Great Cannon/Staff. But if you’re a Warrior, yeah, that’s your Achilles’ Heel…the entire class too, anyway.
It’s hard to believe this game came out the same time that Skyrim did. It’s leaps and bounds better than Skyrim as far as combat, tho the story is kinda fromsoft levels of hard to understand, it’s crafting and combat make up for it. It’s wild how much this game went under the radar and how good it still looks
@@MinosML tbh if Dragon's dogma got the same love and attention from CapCom that skyrim got from Bethesda, DD would have blown it out the water 2 times over. Capcom cut so much content and dev time because they had super low expectations of it. But turns out mixing the mechanics of Dark Souls and shadow of the colossus and applying to to a cookie cutter medieval fantasy setting is genius
I'm enjoying the game but don't oversell it just cause you want to compliment it, this is nowhere near as deep of world building compared to a fromsoft game
@@michael6880game suffered from a severe lack of budget during development and imterests hence why they had to add micro transactions in order to somewhat finish it. Cause some guy named inafune was telling capcom to ditch all of their popular ip's in favor of his awful renditions of certain games. Oh and this is the same guy who threw shade at capcom when he got fired after flop after flop, and also the one responsible for that awful DmC game as well as his failed kick starter game called mighty no.9
The best feeling is getting a Combo Tri-cast of Mealstrom w/ ur Pawns.. Did it one time and that moment solidified Dragon's Dogma as the greatest rendition of Magic in a game ever too me.
Not even Hogwarts Legacy is this badass, and that’s one for little kids with a little wand, step aside boys and girls, let the true Sorcerers ring your calling.
I was never a fantasy game fan until I played Dragon's Dogma a couple of years ago. Been looking for a game that gives me that same satisfaction ever since
I have learned to dread corrupt pawns because of this spell. On BBI I had an encounter where multiple maelstrom spells were cast on top of each other. I died pretty quickly, but continued to bounce for several minutes as they kept recasting it.
I had this spell charged up when a cyclops sneak attacked me. I panicked and release the spell over to the side and it pulled the Cyclops off the cliff 😅
I love sorcerer! It's even more epic when you and the pawns sync your spells and bring devastation to everyone around you especially bolide, just explosions everywhere.
If I am remembering right, you can cast this in sync with your pawns. If they know the spell as well, they will run up to you while you are casting and they will cast it too. This both speeds up the cast and makes it stronger. There are only a few spells in the game that do this.
Sorcerer is literally a walking natural disasters. Meteor, tornado, earthquake, ice and don't forget the holy focused bolts, the magic equivalent of shotgun to the face.
Dragons Dogma in my opinion is the only game that actually made me feel like a powerful mage/wizard type character. If their are other games that give that same feeling, pleases enlighten me.
Wish there was a way Arisens can recovered or counter this spell. Still remember when this was used against me in BBI and it completely wiped my entire group in one shot. If anything, this spell was what taught me to go after sorcerers first.
You should! Anytime I see those guys, I’m like “Fuck me” and just shut my mouth up and let loose some ranged attacks or come over and instakill them. Take no chances with those guys who can also instakill you with Seism.
And in the 2000 there was a game called Sacrifice which people don't remember now. It was an rpg/strategy hybrid and it also had such a spell, plus also had spells like Volcano and featured terrain deformation. No other game came close to the spell system from that game.
@@SheenShots here is a video about fire spells from Sacrifice. After 4:30 you can see the volcano spell (althouth the caster is too close to see the full glory). Please keep in mind it is a very old game.
Honestly it’s crazy to me that dragon’s dogma really made every playstyle cool as hell. While wizard is fun casting devastating spells, there’s something just as fun being a rogue and dashing onto a giant enemy to stab his eye with daggers
I have had bosses hurl comets at me and was fine. A cursed pawn hit me with one of these at Bitterblack isle and it was game over. It lasts so long and rips HP so fast that I couldn't out heal it with a hefty stack of curatives. Maelstrom is no joke.
If you are too close when they cast it your just done for. I have been lucky and just barley escaped several times. From now on I always gun for them as soon as I realize they are in the room.
You know, I see a lot of people talking about dragons dogma, especially about the sorcerer, but none of those people talk about the fact that if you have multiple sorcerers in your party, you guys can do a Union in Spell which when you start casting the spell, the other sorcerer pawns if they have the same spell, they will copy you infuse their spell with yours kind a like the meteor spell grand bolide when you start casting it the other Pawn that have the same will copy you and when they’re done chanting there spell will fuse with yours giving you more meteors to cast
my favorite spell was actually lightning whip spell, was incredibly strong as well, if used with food items could be cast as long as you needed it to take down pretty much anything, especially the infinite stam for a certain amount of time items
I still remember my most favorite memory of this game.... I think I was a Mystic Archer and we were fighting a Chimera backed up by Harpies. The mage was buffing and healing. Fighter was rushing the Chimera. The ranger was sniping the harpies. One harpy ended up grabbing me. And it goes up REAL high. Like "I hope you got insurance" type of high. The Chimera was below fighting my pawns. I break free with no plan to deal with the drop UNTIL I notice the Chimera's snake head. "No shot..." I tell myself. I mashed on the grab button just as I got within range. *Queue crunchy-grab-sound.wav* I caught myself on the Snake's neck. Proceed to go Levi on it til falls off. Chimera gets stunned. Used that really strong shot that yeets one of your pawns back to the rift. Annihilates the chimera. Listen.... I really like Divinity and Baldurs Gate. And I LOVE Skyrim. I love all the Elder Scrolls games. Abusively even. Nothing, even with modding, has EVER compared to THAT experience since then. And now theres a second one...... You already know I'm ready. tl;dr: Dragons Dogma was pretty aight.
There is an area in bitterblack isle (post damion I think) that has a crowd of corrupted pawns. Two of which cast this spell, while there are TWO prisoner cyclops! I think its the Forgotten Hall?
You quickly learn to fear this spell in BBI. that one room with the two Prisoner Gorecyclops and all those phantoms? yeah they cast Maelstrom left and right. When I played Sorcerer though, I went for High Bolide. Dropping Meteors on a Boss is like nothing else.
Fun fact: you can cut the casting time *significantly* by having the augment that shortens casting time, AND keeping the wyrmkings ring when you get to that quest. If you make a forgery at the black cat, and give the forgery to the king, it gets counted as a quest complete. You don't get the paladins mantle, though, I'd say it's a fair trade, if the paladins mantle were *significantly* better lol.
wanna know a really fun interaction you can do with this spell? I usually have at least 1 sorcerer pawn that can use this spell because if you use Mystic Knight and use the great cannon skill the tornado actually procs the great cannon INCREDIBLY fast, way faster than simply hitting it yourself. Its super fun. Only downside is the timing since you have to position your great cannon pretty much in the tornado
Shit, this brings back my bad memories, my party got thrown over and over again in the middle of the fight against 2 gore-cyclops because that damn enemies mage thing
@@ni9elife of course, my enemies keep using tornado almost without cooldown, that thing keep using it like trying to keep away from ground, and f*ck i lost all of my party member, good thing i manage to handle it, by quitting the game and load at the last checkpoint 😢😢
I used the arc of deliverance once and one shot the griffin. My friend who was walking me through the game was pissed he said " there was a whole quest line to go finish off that griffin where you have to travel up a big tower and you just one shot it the first time you see it"!
It’s even better in Dark Arisen because even though alot of the Dark Pawns and armors are resistant to Dark it will still launch them so high that the gravity kills them
Why early-game grinding on the Wite by Greatwall at night can be so hard, yet why you can one-shot the Drake by the Shadow Fort. Add the cast-time-boosting ring, and, well, for the time you're playing Sorc, you're a one-man army. XD
the thing about this spell, is the lockdown you take after casting. Although the tornado pull small enemies, you still keep very vulnerable to big ones and most of time they will one shot you.
For those that don't know malestrom is like the strongest spell in the game as only a handful of enemies aren't basically one shotted by the spell and that's only because they have special hitboxs and even then still kill your character at max level as you'll probably survive getting juggled by the wind but then almost definitely die from plummeting to the earth
Had an amazing experience with the greatweapon slam at full charge, being able to knock chimera's down and just casually finishing them off while they lay helpless was so damn wild.
@@Derrad333Nothing against Warrior, but I had more fun experience playing with a jetpack hammer, an actual Greatsword and a longsword that can eats up a boss’s attack and deflect it back in their face from another game… I can’t recall…something, something…God Eater 3…?
I love how the spells are not just visuals in thid game... They do carry their weight. Unlike many modern rpg that are stuck on liniting the impact to visuals
Nah... for me... It's the Great Sacrificial arrow for the Magic Archer Vocation... everything about the spell just feels intense. From the moment you charge up- to the moment you realize what your sacrifice is. When the screen goes black and white- time slows.. wadada dang.
I honestly loved this and my triple ice glaciers that came out of the ground, could push the dragon back at full upgrade and be used to transverse really made more for transport but as a weapon it’s devastating

You are the side kick lol
It lasts long enough to have two at once, and don't get me started mage pawns.
this + grand bolide is my favourite giant spell combo, nothing like giving your enemies the woozy before dropping nukes on them
Super under-rated gem, I jumped into it late and was blown away with the features. Needs a remake or sequel
Its getting a sequel here in the next year or two!
You quickly learn to fear this spell in BBI. that one room with the two Prisoner Gorecyclops and all those phantoms? yeah they cast Maelstrom left and right.

Dropping Meteors on a Boss is like nothing else.

Core memory: Unlocked
@@ni9elife of course, my enemies keep using tornado almost without cooldown, that thing keep using it like trying to keep away from ground, and f*ck i lost all of my party member, good thing i manage to handle it, by quitting the game and load at the last checkpoint 😢😢
The sequel is going to be absolutely incredible. I cannot WAIT.
It just looks soooo good!
I used the arc of deliverance once and one shot the griffin. My friend who was walking me through the game was pissed he said " there was a whole quest line to go finish off that griffin where you have to travel up a big tower and you just one shot it the first time you see it"!
The magic is this game is one of the best systems there has been
Whats really crazy is when you think of how old this game is its insanly ahead of its time.
(Talks about tornado spell)“But nothing feels quit like this one.” *Forgets that there is a high level meteor shower spell the wipes ever thing out.*
Pov: You become Kushala Daora
Probably the most accurate description by far. 😅
Don't case it indoors. Had to take it away from my pawn to prevent them from casting it in caves.
I can just imagine you talking to the pawn like: “JEFFEREY WE TALKED ABOUT THIS! Give me that! You lost your world ending privileges” XD
Lmao, couldnt ever see, could you?
Can't see a thing and will jump scare you every time lol
Just get out of it, how’s that hard?
I find it hilarious to use inside a dungeon or bitterblack isle most things die in seconds
This was the best RPG for mage/magic users hands down! I loved meteor and earth quick the most
Well now I gotta replay it thanks
Maelstrom looks so much better in DD1
It’s even better in Dark Arisen because even though alot of the Dark Pawns and armors are resistant to Dark it will still launch them so high that the gravity kills them
I enjoyed dragons dogma so much. I might go back and play some more.
Bruh i HATE when my sorcerer pawn casts this in the middle of BBI, i cant see or do anything
Why early-game grinding on the Wite by Greatwall at night can be so hard, yet why you can one-shot the Drake by the Shadow Fort.
Add the cast-time-boosting ring, and, well, for the time you're playing Sorc, you're a one-man army. XD
Magic in other rpgs: pew-pew, some sparkles and the target now have -2% to damage
Magic in DD:
Ive played this game so many times through but ive never done a spell caster. Maybe I should boot it up and give it a go
Spellcasters are freaking awesome.
Meanwhile my thief daggers go boom killing me and slightly damaging enemies
the thing about this spell, is the lockdown you take after casting. Although the tornado pull small enemies, you still keep very vulnerable to big ones and most of time they will one shot you.
For those that don't know malestrom is like the strongest spell in the game as only a handful of enemies aren't basically one shotted by the spell and that's only because they have special hitboxs and even then still kill your character at max level as you'll probably survive getting juggled by the wind but then almost definitely die from plummeting to the earth
You say "one element, that being wind" but while it arguably harnesses elemental wind it definitely harnesses elemental dark.
Had an amazing experience with the greatweapon slam at full charge, being able to knock chimera's down and just casually finishing them off while they lay helpless was so damn wild.
Probably the coolest melee attack.
@@SheenShots Very true, takes ages to charge and you gotta crabwalk all over.
It is SUPER WORTH IT tho
@@Derrad333Nothing against Warrior, but I had more fun experience playing with a jetpack hammer, an actual Greatsword and a longsword that can eats up a boss’s attack and deflect it back in their face from another game…
I can’t recall…something, something…God Eater 3…?
This game had the best spells. One of my top three magic systems in games.
Top three? This better have DD as 1st.
@@aquilliusranger2137 My top magic system is Two Worlds 2.
I love how the spells are not just visuals in thid game... They do carry their weight. Unlike many modern rpg that are stuck on liniting the impact to visuals
Its actually dark damage and the the earthquake spell causes light damage for some reasons
I hope they have this one on dd2, hope it gets out this year. Did U see the Capcom showcase? 😊
Honestly I preferred Seism. Because it didn't obscure my entire f-ing screen every time I cast it.
Nah... for me... It's the Great Sacrificial arrow for the Magic Archer Vocation... everything about the spell just feels intense. From the moment you charge up- to the moment you realize what your sacrifice is. When the screen goes black and white- time slows.. wadada dang.
I honestly loved this and my triple ice glaciers that came out of the ground, could push the dragon back at full upgrade and be used to transverse really made more for transport but as a weapon it’s devastating
