Hey Nihil! Great stuff, as usual. I got a question about Ruinous Sigil: does it stay activated if I switch from a Mace/Sword to a Staff? Because it looks like a great tool for keeping enemies at bay while casting long-range spells. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Sorry for late question and if this has been already answered, how good are the final tier riposte? Say over just stacking barbed nails? Is the damage better or you going for looks? Cause the final tier riposte look awesome as hell.
Basically the lv3 tier Repostes are the lv3 tier Spell. So Grand Levin, Ingle, or more units, rather than more damage. Lv1 Ingle is 1 ball, lv2 is 3 balls and lv3 is 5 balls. More important than the lv3 repostes is the Gloves that have the bonus of "boost power of shield" That is essentially double damage.

Magick Archer was always my go-to back in the day. Now I've woken up to the awesome power of the Mystic Knight!!! Its a lot of fun and, depending on how its played, it can have a lot of variety. Nihil, you've bought me back to my favorite game of all time and even got me into a class I never really bothered with. My first experience with MK was so bad I just gave up on it. But, a few of your videos later and a long time spent leveling the right way has led me to my favorite character of all time :) Thank you, Nihil I've mostly been experimenting with different kinds of fashion, as I think it's one of the best parts of the game. Any recommendations? You seem to know what you're doing and it's one of my favorite parts of your videos. I'm on PS4, btw, so no black armor mod for me D:
Awesome. I am happy to hear this. I take dogma fashion very seriously. For MK I like any of the Surcoats. The Melorean (spelling) arms and leg armor look thin and slick. I also like the leather cloak with the Surcoats.
@@Nihil0.0 I personally don't care much for the Surcoats, but you are right about the Melorian arms and legs. They're sleek and stylish with some okay defenses. My only issue with MK is that the shield gets in the way of the fashion sometimes. I have the Dark Buckler right now, and hate it, but it's just strictly better than the Blue Kite Shield; the best looking shield IMO, outside the BBI gear, which I can't seem to get. It's a tough grind to get the good shit, unfortunately. I either get red or blue vocation gear, but never split vocations. Any work around for this? I've tried swapping vocations for me and my pawn before purifying, but that doesn't work. Is it all luck or is there a trick to getting split vocation gear? My pawns a red vocation and I'm MK. Thanks in advance :)
If you want shields, mace, sword, longsword, warhammer or magic shield you and you pawn should both be Fighter. Any bows, including spellbows both should be Strider. Any staff both should be Mage. Yeah, Dark Buckler is ugly. My favorite shield is Angel's Sanctum. You can purchase it from Caxton after Grigori.
Nice video! The only thing I would have liked to see you use would be stone forest when fighting the undead dragon. I know it has a long cast time but there is time for it after the dragon tries the grab then roars, you dodge the grab then start casting and it messes it up pretty quick.
Well, in DD once you hit Lvl 200 (or infinite symbol), you're done. Unless your main pawn is under you in some levels, venture together so he/she will thanks for the exp XD
You guys are giving me good examples, but my issue is that you yourself don't benefit from the xp that you farm, why would I want to benefit someone else for my hard work without me getting anything in return?
@@eru_barth One of the best mechanics in this beloved game for me, the viability to share your main pawn AND get another 2 ones from other players by your choice
@@imhulki463 But you CAN receive things in return. As capcom itself says, "encourage people to hire your main pawn and he maybe come back with some gifts!" That means venturing in a party of 4 is the goal in Dragon's Dogma. Did you forget that you can send and also receive gifts, like armors, robes, weapons and even Bitterblack trinkets to purify? But since i play on PS3, i guess no one is playing there now with many ported versions out, haha XP I'll still gonna buy a PS4 version, though
@@Nihil0.0 ive only played the game three times. Are you able to show how dramatic the difference is with augments? The initial fight against the drake took 9 minutes which is crazy since the MA melted it in like 3 or 4. Im just asking since you have a level 200 dedicated MK and i dont and this video kind of discouraged me from it lol.
Was it the holy riposte that allowed the great cannon to shoot very fast? I remember putting a great cannon down standing behind it waiting to do a perfect block and watching as my frames just tank from so many magic cannon shots. think it might be because the holy riposte actually stays in effect for a few seconds? God help what ever creature faces you if you stack two great cannons down and manage a perfect block or a ruinous sigil on top of em lol.
Nice one as always my friend very well done I was considering just going with swords as I can never get mage breaker or 4 elite lanterns which is just rediculous by the by
The Swords are easier to get and easier to upgrade. I usually end with a lot of Lanterns while I am trying to get BBI augments. I think I toss 11 of them by the time I have Opportunism and Adhesion.
Drakes: what do you mean nihil is making another MK video? Nihil: abyssal anguish casts in the background :) How are you taking so little dmg though? Is 450 core def/mdef really that powerful? Even on hard mode?
Nihil0.0 I see. I’m currently making a new save with like 3850 hp as my old only had 3480 and I found I was constantly getting 2 shot with gf gear. And looking online many were saying that core def/mdef mattered more and most recommended to stop after reaching around 300-330. After seeing how little you were taking though I thought it scaled more drastically above that. Anyways thanks for the vid. Always a pleasure seeing you play :D
I just got into this game with the announcement of the sequel coming soon. How are you firing more than three magic orbs per swing when you use the Great cannon? Is there a band or ring that I need?
@@Nihil0.0 Oh...also, is there a sword skill I can use from another vocation as a MK? I see players using a stab, blade twist, then violent withdraw move that shoots a ton of orbs. Pretty sure it's an Assassin or Strider move.
Alright, but can somebody tell me how you could be MK at level 1? Serious question I want to runs like this too and MK is one of my favourite 2nd to Warrior class.
Yes and yes but I keep the y axis as is. There is a setting to change it in the controller settings, though I never checked it. I have the hooks mod, which I don't think it has anything for y axis. It does have camera settings in the mod.
BBI equipment, pal. Keep purifying lvl 1 or 3 gear to get a ring, these rings will show you some skills, if you had lvl 2 skill (yellow or with a star.) equip ring and it will became lvl 3 (orange) get it?
Man I love that the game is balanced enough that any vocation can be played for as long as you like and all that matters is that you have good knowledge of what you're actually doing
I will always have autonomy, clout and acuity for sure. If my shield is lower tier then I will have periphery. I typically will also have stability. Sometimes egression. If force hatchet, then definitely grit. If no restrictions, attunement and vehemence.
Thank you i last played mystic knight on my first play through years ago and didn’t know how to play it even tho it’s my favourite vocation and then never played MK again so I’ve been watching all your videos on MK to help me out a bit I even tried to make the OP mystic knight build with 97 levels assassin and the rest on sorcerer but playing sorcerer was so boring then I remembered what you said about stats being meaningless and that it’s all about the gear I almost made it to 200 as sorcerer as well farming the cursed dragon hahahahaha got to level 182 and thought I’m definitely not going back to gran Soren and duplicating this bait meat again I was just so sick of sorcerer at that point and went straight MK anyway sorry for rambling on love your videos and can’t wait for the next one
I have in the past. The very first time I played in 2011 or 2012 I went 100% Fighter (because I didn't know you can switch) and solo (because I didn't know where to revive my pawn) this was pre any wiki or info on the game, at release. And it awesome. I do have my Mercedes character creation and I am planning on taking her through. I do have my "Fighter" playlist library that has a few solo fights for now.
If one had magebreaker how would you go about enchanting it solo? Cuz I don’t want to burn up reposte slots. I can make do with inferno and boltstorm but I need another way then self enchantment
The reason I ask is magebreaker has the highest magick attack stat. Mk enchantments are far superior to mage and I don’t want to have pawns is there an item you could carry? Boosting magic is my goal and having the 3 elements. Magebreaker is ice. Flame enchanter would be fire but what of thunder?
Eh, idk. Sure MageBreaker has a high magic attack. But how much more? Is that number worth the trouble of skill slot maintainance? Those Enchanter skills are nice. They do boost greater than Boons, but they take 30 seconds to cast and only last 10 seconds. Perma Enchanted is permenant, and yeah a little less overall magic, but it's always there. While you are recasting that element ontop of the weapon, you just missed out on more damage in the long run compared perma still going. The Almace is still great. I've tested the lv3 Enchanters ontop of permas and in the long run I always still just stick with the 3 permas. Almace, Eden and Caladbold. I always wished there was a spelltome that had a boon enchant, for the solo melee vocations. I would be so annoyed that I HAD to carry another weapon because of 2 enemies. OCD, you know
Nihil0.0 what about that crucial 3rd shield slot I often consider ice reposte. Holy grace is nice but takes way too long to cast. Abyssal anguish is just for physical attack. Demons wrath is near useless in bbi as 9/10 enemies are resistant to dark. Holy reposte has too short a range for most enemies and the full auto cannon is useful but unlikely to be set up in most cases. So if we go with Dark reposte we lose all potential for barbed nail. Btw are the lvl 3 repostes any better? As level one spell counterparts are better than lvl 3. But with dark reposte we have all elements and high knockdown
The Levin reposte, Frazil reposte and Ingle reposte are that with the spell. Lv1 is Levin, lv2 is high Levin, and lv3 is Grand Levin. Those inceases can be very high. The gloves that boost are double damage, so those are very worthy. I see you OCD shining with the idea of having all 5 elements, but remember Dark is typically for utility rather than for damage, and remember if it's weak to holy then it is also weak to fire, but not the other way around.
So im new to the game and running mystic knight my elemental weapon when I do the Canon won't make the Canon the element unless I give it a boon how do I fix that
@@bladethrough2645 yeah, I think if you've got 4 spare elite lanterns it'd be worth it but.. Who the fuck except the hardest grinders has 4 elites lmao
Why arent we using abyssal anguish again? Honestly, its the one reason I love MK so much. As far as I know, it also works with great cannon since its hitting multiple times with a single hit, you pretty much fill the screen with magic bolts.
So I usually have fire and thunder riposte set. If I give up Abyssal anguish, what third riposte would be the best choice? Dark? Ice probably isn't necessary if I carry magebreaker. And holy seems useless. Maybe blesssed trance would be a better choice. I mean for post Daimon BBI and assuming I'm not gonna visit Barroch to change the set skills
With MK I really enjoy walking up to big enemies that have fallen over, dropping two great cannons and a sigil and watching their hp bar vanish. Is it still viable now? I haven't tried doing it for a good while now. Glad you're showing off how awesome mystic knight is, hope they expand upon it more whenever the 2nd game comes out (hopefully.)
I will use the hooks mod for the comparison videos. To get weapons to compare, or to respec the stats. But for any of the long run vids or like this video here, it's all earned. And also I still have base saves, such as Mage to lv10 with rank9, Strider to lv10 with rank9 and I start with those, bypassing the first bit. Then I have other saves for example a MK lv20 to rank9, and in total I now have about 30 saves again. I just can't help it.
So your videos inspired me to roll a mystic knight and I'm loving it. One big difference for me is I prefer to have my pawns rather than be solo and I was wondering if you think I should still have a pawn that enchants? I have my elemental weapons collected but I am pretty sure if my pawn casts holy on me the elemental damage gets overwritten. In that case would it be more worth it to not have the mage enchant and switch weapons accordingly or just use a high physical damage weapon and let her enchant with holy?
I would stick with the Perma Enchanted weapons, and switch between. Holy doesn't work for everyone. It's very bad against Elder Ogre, Dark Bishop and some humans.
Augments im using for mystic knight Autonomy Clout Acuity Articulacy Prescience Adamance What do you all think as im new to dragons dogma and am trying to build a good mystic knight
All good, but I would skip prescience. You can do fine with perfect block without, especially with MK. The window for MK is already bigger than Fighter's window. You can switch for stability or attunement or vehemense or ferocity. Ferocity is nice because the repostes are effected as well as the basic attacks.
@@harrisonsaynor8568 yep, attunement will increase the repostes, but not your normal sword attacks, and vehemence will increase the normal sword attacks, but not the repostes. Ferocity will increase both, and ferocity increases focused bolt, with holy: holy focused bolt.
Thanks a lot. I recently restarted my save making a pure MK and intend to go for platinum with it. but having played full sorcerer into MA before I was a bit concerned about the damage output, especially considering offline Ur-dragon is on the list. But this looks bad at all, and the increased durability will be a nice bonus.
@@Nihil0.0 what are stats purpose then? curious for the vein of Mystic Knight. ( am also interested in Magick Archer as my current playthrough so was thinking some knowledge may translate.
@@ryokoshii Stamina and Health do matter, as we don't get those numbers easily through armor and rings, with the exception of Savior Ring. But attack values are given primarily from the Weapons.Mystic Knight and Magic Archer do favor magic, and high magic will be noticed, but when you re talking about top tier weapons, the difference in minimal. What tends to happen with MK and MA is many players go the route of 190 of Sorcerer, and by the time they finish with that, they've missed the entire game, and the entire growth of the vocation. Which imo is not worth the extra 400-600 extra damage attack, when you're talking about 3k values
Not deleted, just private for a bit. It was getting into non gaming recommendations. Really what happens is youtube sees a video that gets controversy, and it pushes it everywhere. RUclips likes to create separation and conflict, division you could say. So when that happens to one of my videos, I make it private for a bit, as I don't want my videos to go down that avenue.
Oh yeah, I know, but youtube's AI gets a trigger when it senses contro, either through keywords in comments or whatever it uses. It's funny actually that youtube encourages division. You can see this with any of the "trending" vids
@@Nihil0.0 Maces have both more physical and magic attack at the same tier. It's more to do with damage type, maces are bludgeoning/strike while swords are slashing. So maces are a bit better than the strength value would show against things like Skeletons, while swords are better against things like most Saurians.
Hmmmmmm, maybe 2 versions? You can have the Undulant with all of your debils, I would rather just the Element on a BroadSword or Undulant. But that would be awesome to have a Dark Sword for MK. That's really the only Perma weapon that was ever missing for me. I don't care if the Spellbows or Bows get it, but MK has always been without the Dark, and that would make me frown
My favorite weapon the magebreaker.. Also jump in the discord and look at the farm death video i made and maybe you can make a more professional video...it will surprise you that you can just walk up to death and kill him...easy way to power level sorcerer....or click on my profile and watch it lol...your choice...i can only make a 10 minute video but you can better and longer video...if you make it ill take mine down lol

My only issue with MK is that the shield gets in the way of the fashion sometimes. I have the Dark Buckler right now, and hate it, but it's just strictly better than the Blue Kite Shield; the best looking shield IMO, outside the BBI gear, which I can't seem to get.
It's a tough grind to get the good shit, unfortunately. I either get red or blue vocation gear, but never split vocations. Any work around for this? I've tried swapping vocations for me and my pawn before purifying, but that doesn't work. Is it all luck or is there a trick to getting split vocation gear?
My pawns a red vocation and I'm MK.
Thanks in advance :)
If you want shields, mace, sword, longsword, warhammer or magic shield you and you pawn should both be Fighter. Any bows, including spellbows both should be Strider. Any staff both should be Mage.
Yeah, Dark Buckler is ugly. My favorite shield is Angel's Sanctum. You can purchase it from Caxton after Grigori.
@@Nihil0.0 thank you, man! You're keeping this game alive!
Videos get better and better, too. Keep up the amazing work :)
Nice video! The only thing I would have liked to see you use would be stone forest when fighting the undead dragon. I know it has a long cast time but there is time for it after the dragon tries the grab then roars, you dodge the grab then start casting and it messes it up pretty quick.
I wish there was a system similar to the paragon system in diablo 3.
Seeing you get all that xp and it not being used for anything breaks my heart.
Well, in DD once you hit Lvl 200 (or infinite symbol), you're done. Unless your main pawn is under you in some levels, venture together so he/she will thanks for the exp XD
Well, if you're hiring pawns it will be converted into rift crystals for their players
You guys are giving me good examples, but my issue is that you yourself don't benefit from the xp that you farm, why would I want to benefit someone else for my hard work without me getting anything in return?
@@eru_barth One of the best mechanics in this beloved game for me, the viability to share your main pawn AND get another 2 ones from other players by your choice
@@imhulki463 But you CAN receive things in return. As capcom itself says, "encourage people to hire your main pawn and he maybe come back with some gifts!"
That means venturing in a party of 4 is the goal in Dragon's Dogma. Did you forget that you can send and also receive gifts, like armors, robes, weapons and even Bitterblack trinkets to purify?
But since i play on PS3, i guess no one is playing there now with many ported versions out, haha XP
I'll still gonna buy a PS4 version, though
Curious if the damage output is better with other augments? Right now it seems really really low especially compared to the MA video you put out.
Augments make a huge difference. Stats make such a minor difference.
@@Nihil0.0 ive only played the game three times. Are you able to show how dramatic the difference is with augments? The initial fight against the drake took 9 minutes which is crazy since the MA melted it in like 3 or 4.
Im just asking since you have a level 200 dedicated MK and i dont and this video kind of discouraged me from it lol.
@@Nihil0.0 nevermind that was like 6 drake fights in the video.
Most of my MK vids were leveled 190 in MK. I have a MK playlist library. You can see there how augments help.
@@Nihil0.0 ok, thanks for doing gods work. Time to buy this on the switch
Was it the holy riposte that allowed the great cannon to shoot very fast? I remember putting a great cannon down standing behind it waiting to do a perfect block and watching as my frames just tank from so many magic cannon shots. think it might be because the holy riposte actually stays in effect for a few seconds? God help what ever creature faces you if you stack two great cannons down and manage a perfect block or a ruinous sigil on top of em lol.
Nice one as always my friend very well done I was considering just going with swords as I can never get mage breaker or 4 elite lanterns which is just rediculous by the by
The Swords are easier to get and easier to upgrade. I usually end with a lot of Lanterns while I am trying to get BBI augments. I think I toss 11 of them by the time I have Opportunism and Adhesion.
Drakes: what do you mean nihil is making another MK video?
Nihil: abyssal anguish casts in the background :)
How are you taking so little dmg though? Is 450 core def/mdef really that powerful? Even on hard mode?
Well, my defenses are 1000, thanks to the BBI gloves and boots. MK gets good defense stats and also health goes a long way.
Nihil0.0 I see. I’m currently making a new save with like 3850 hp as my old only had 3480 and I found I was constantly getting 2 shot with gf gear. And looking online many were saying that core def/mdef mattered more and most recommended to stop after reaching around 300-330. After seeing how little you were taking though I thought it scaled more drastically above that.
Anyways thanks for the vid. Always a pleasure seeing you play :D
that hellhound booked it so fast
I just got into this game with the announcement of the sequel coming soon. How are you firing more than three magic orbs per swing when you use the Great cannon? Is there a band or ring that I need?
I use the sword skill full moon slash on the orb, resulting in more strikes
@@Nihil0.0 Oh...also, is there a sword skill I can use from another vocation as a MK? I see players using a stab, blade twist, then violent withdraw move that shoots a ton of orbs. Pretty sure it's an Assassin or Strider move.
@@Rhiorrha yeah, that's Assassin skill
Alright, but can somebody tell me how you could be MK at level 1? Serious question I want to runs like this too and MK is one of my favourite 2nd to Warrior class.
Go to bitter black isle and the lady let's you change your vocation
Do you play with a controller on pc and if so how did you invert the y axis? and do you use mods? sorry to ask odd questions
Yes and yes but I keep the y axis as is. There is a setting to change it in the controller settings, though I never checked it. I have the hooks mod, which I don't think it has anything for y axis. It does have camera settings in the mod.
Just look at one of the 3 MOST POWERFUL jobs of Dragon's Dogma in action:
Mystic Knight, Assassin and Magick Archer, my fellas
Rapha The Kid agree
@@yaseenaljubury7114 I think strider should be on the list.
What is the best weight for MK? S or M ? And should I use Sorc aguments ?
Size is prefrence. I go with medium. Yes definitely get Acuity. Attunement is nice as well. And Clout.
Great video! Do you usually play on Normal or Hard mode?
Hard mode
Does the magick shield boost on the gauntlets also works on abyssal anguish????
Nope, but the Force Hatchet increases some of Abyssal's damage.
ruclips.net/video/ambzwhmYbDQ/видео.html
I dont understand how to get orange star skills
I think those are the final rank of that certain skill or he is using a ring to get a stronger skill of what your seeing, who knows
BBI equipment, pal.
Keep purifying lvl 1 or 3 gear to get a ring, these rings will show you some skills, if you had lvl 2 skill (yellow or with a star.) equip ring and it will became lvl 3 (orange) get it?
Did you level up entirely as a mystic Knight? Is the stat growth good on it
Im thinkibg of playing it
This was 190 levels as MK. Any vocation can be 100%, just focus on keeping your gear upgraded. Our gear provides us most of our stats.
@@Nihil0.0 yes sir yes
Man I love that the game is balanced enough that any vocation can be played for as long as you like and all that matters is that you have good knowledge of what you're actually doing
Just started playing again after watching your videos wanted to ask what augments I should use for my mystic knight. TY
I will always have autonomy, clout and acuity for sure. If my shield is lower tier then I will have periphery. I typically will also have stability. Sometimes egression. If force hatchet, then definitely grit. If no restrictions, attunement and vehemence.
Thank you i last played mystic knight on my first play through years ago and didn’t know how to play it even tho it’s my favourite vocation and then never played MK again so I’ve been watching all your videos on MK to help me out a bit I even tried to make the OP mystic knight build with 97 levels assassin and the rest on sorcerer but playing sorcerer was so boring then I remembered what you said about stats being meaningless and that it’s all about the gear I almost made it to 200 as sorcerer as well farming the cursed dragon hahahahaha got to level 182 and thought I’m definitely not going back to gran Soren and duplicating this bait meat again I was just so sick of sorcerer at that point and went straight MK anyway sorry for rambling on love your videos and can’t wait for the next one
@@bustersutton4955 same for me lol. Loved to play MK and now I love it more because I know how to play it properly thanks to Nihil
Hey Nihil, I was wondering, why don't you do a solo Fighter run? Unless you've done it already?
I have in the past. The very first time I played in 2011 or 2012 I went 100% Fighter (because I didn't know you can switch) and solo (because I didn't know where to revive my pawn) this was pre any wiki or info on the game, at release. And it awesome. I do have my Mercedes character creation and I am planning on taking her through. I do have my "Fighter" playlist library that has a few solo fights for now.
Nihil0.0 Ah. I see. Well, can’t wait to see you do fighter though! 😆
If one had magebreaker how would you go about enchanting it solo? Cuz I don’t want to burn up reposte slots. I can make do with inferno and boltstorm but I need another way then self enchantment
The reason I ask is magebreaker has the highest magick attack stat. Mk enchantments are far superior to mage and I don’t want to have pawns is there an item you could carry? Boosting magic is my goal and having the 3 elements. Magebreaker is ice. Flame enchanter would be fire but what of thunder?
Eh, idk. Sure MageBreaker has a high magic attack. But how much more? Is that number worth the trouble of skill slot maintainance? Those Enchanter skills are nice. They do boost greater than Boons, but they take 30 seconds to cast and only last 10 seconds. Perma Enchanted is permenant, and yeah a little less overall magic, but it's always there. While you are recasting that element ontop of the weapon, you just missed out on more damage in the long run compared perma still going. The Almace is still great. I've tested the lv3 Enchanters ontop of permas and in the long run I always still just stick with the 3 permas. Almace, Eden and Caladbold. I always wished there was a spelltome that had a boon enchant, for the solo melee vocations. I would be so annoyed that I HAD to carry another weapon because of 2 enemies. OCD, you know
Nihil0.0 what about that crucial 3rd shield slot I often consider ice reposte. Holy grace is nice but takes way too long to cast. Abyssal anguish is just for physical attack. Demons wrath is near useless in bbi as 9/10 enemies are resistant to dark. Holy reposte has too short a range for most enemies and the full auto cannon is useful but unlikely to be set up in most cases. So if we go with Dark reposte we lose all potential for barbed nail. Btw are the lvl 3 repostes any better? As level one spell counterparts are better than lvl 3. But with dark reposte we have all elements and high knockdown
And if lvl 3 is only 10% better if at all than lvl 2 I’m liable to just use the shield boosting gloves
The Levin reposte, Frazil reposte and Ingle reposte are that with the spell. Lv1 is Levin, lv2 is high Levin, and lv3 is Grand Levin. Those inceases can be very high. The gloves that boost are double damage, so those are very worthy.
I see you OCD shining with the idea of having all 5 elements, but remember Dark is typically for utility rather than for damage, and remember if it's weak to holy then it is also weak to fire, but not the other way around.
So im new to the game and running mystic knight my elemental weapon when I do the Canon won't make the Canon the element unless I give it a boon how do I fix that
The element is applied, just the visual is not there. Elemental does still apply
Have you seen the shield only knight runs
Any reason for Eden's Warden over Font of Fire? Just curious.
Font of Fire has 4 Elite Lanterns as Silver-Forge materials
@@MrNatanhiel Oh geez. Didn't realize that. Thanks.
@@bladethrough2645 no worries I had to Google it because I was curious too lol
@@MrNatanhiel Yeah Eden's is much easier to upgrade. FoF does have about 100 more Magick than Eden's so I guess there's a tradeoff.
@@bladethrough2645 yeah, I think if you've got 4 spare elite lanterns it'd be worth it but.. Who the fuck except the hardest grinders has 4 elites lmao
I still don’t have the timing down for drakes with mk
Damn, apparently I need to start using sigils.
Also, I love how this game is so huge and STILL no word from Capcom on a sequel.
Fate has taken a turn for the better, my friend
Why arent we using abyssal anguish again? Honestly, its the one reason I love MK so much. As far as I know, it also works with great cannon since its hitting multiple times with a single hit, you pretty much fill the screen with magic bolts.
Anguish dies not increase the cannon orbs or damage. I do like Anguish, but I also don't like how long it casts abd how short it lasts.
So I usually have fire and thunder riposte set. If I give up Abyssal anguish, what third riposte would be the best choice? Dark?
Ice probably isn't necessary if I carry magebreaker. And holy seems useless. Maybe blesssed trance would be a better choice.
I mean for post Daimon BBI and assuming I'm not gonna visit Barroch to change the set skills
With MK I really enjoy walking up to big enemies that have fallen over, dropping two great cannons and a sigil and watching their hp bar vanish. Is it still viable now? I haven't tried doing it for a good while now. Glad you're showing off how awesome mystic knight is, hope they expand upon it more whenever the 2nd game comes out (hopefully.)
If the enemy is torpored, it can be done and is viable. I like doing this to Elder Ogre and Garm after a good Sopor
Are you using mods to level up or to have equipment?
I will use the hooks mod for the comparison videos. To get weapons to compare, or to respec the stats. But for any of the long run vids or like this video here, it's all earned. And also I still have base saves, such as Mage to lv10 with rank9, Strider to lv10 with rank9 and I start with those, bypassing the first bit. Then I have other saves for example a MK lv20 to rank9, and in total I now have about 30 saves again. I just can't help it.
So your videos inspired me to roll a mystic knight and I'm loving it. One big difference for me is I prefer to have my pawns rather than be solo and I was wondering if you think I should still have a pawn that enchants? I have my elemental weapons collected but I am pretty sure if my pawn casts holy on me the elemental damage gets overwritten. In that case would it be more worth it to not have the mage enchant and switch weapons accordingly or just use a high physical damage weapon and let her enchant with holy?
I would stick with the Perma Enchanted weapons, and switch between. Holy doesn't work for everyone. It's very bad against Elder Ogre, Dark Bishop and some humans.
Augments im using for mystic knight
Autonomy
Clout
Acuity
Articulacy
Prescience
Adamance
What do you all think as im new to dragons dogma and am trying to build a good mystic knight
All good, but I would skip prescience. You can do fine with perfect block without, especially with MK. The window for MK is already bigger than Fighter's window. You can switch for stability or attunement or vehemense or ferocity. Ferocity is nice because the repostes are effected as well as the basic attacks.
@@Nihil0.0 would attunement also increase the damage of ripostes aswell? Seen as they look like magick based attacks to me
@@harrisonsaynor8568 yep, attunement will increase the repostes, but not your normal sword attacks, and vehemence will increase the normal sword attacks, but not the repostes. Ferocity will increase both, and ferocity increases focused bolt, with holy: holy focused bolt.
@@Nihil0.0 great now to speed run and get my weapons 🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃
Love abyssal anguish buff
Dragons Dogma asmr
Thanks a lot. I recently restarted my save making a pure MK and intend to go for platinum with it. but having played full sorcerer into MA before I was a bit concerned about the damage output, especially considering offline Ur-dragon is on the list. But this looks bad at all, and the increased durability will be a nice bonus.
Stats don't give us our damage. Weapons do, and augments. Stats are the least umportant part.
@@Nihil0.0 what are stats purpose then? curious for the vein of Mystic Knight. ( am also interested in Magick Archer as my current playthrough so was thinking some knowledge may translate.
@@ryokoshii Stamina and Health do matter, as we don't get those numbers easily through armor and rings, with the exception of Savior Ring. But attack values are given primarily from the Weapons.Mystic Knight and Magic Archer do favor magic, and high magic will be noticed, but when you re talking about top tier weapons, the difference in minimal. What tends to happen with MK and MA is many players go the route of 190 of Sorcerer, and by the time they finish with that, they've missed the entire game, and the entire growth of the vocation. Which imo is not worth the extra 400-600 extra damage attack, when you're talking about 3k values
Well you have other vocation's augments. I guess i'll have to switch vocations to get them?
After reaching lv200 you can still rank the other vocations to get their augments. The 100% MK is showing that 190 levels as Sorcerer is not needed
@@Nihil0.0 Thanks, i'll just get the augments earlier beating up wolves and goblins starting tomorrow.
MA or MK for my new pkaythru
why you deleted that mystic knight video bro?
Not deleted, just private for a bit. It was getting into non gaming recommendations. Really what happens is youtube sees a video that gets controversy, and it pushes it everywhere. RUclips likes to create separation and conflict, division you could say. So when that happens to one of my videos, I make it private for a bit, as I don't want my videos to go down that avenue.
@@Nihil0.0 It wasnt really that controversial cause it was clearly stated that it was your opinion, hope you put it back to the public again.
Oh yeah, I know, but youtube's AI gets a trigger when it senses contro, either through keywords in comments or whatever it uses. It's funny actually that youtube encourages division. You can see this with any of the "trending" vids
Such a great IP, too bad capcom kinda of abandoned it . . .the online version was really fun too even with most of it untranslated
Sorry why is your level infinity???
Lv200 is the cap. Becomes infinity at lv200
Are swords better than maces?
Maces have slightly more magic attack, while swords have slightly more physical attack. Swords are easier to get and easier to upgrade.
@@Nihil0.0 Oh, okay I'll go with swords then Thank you!
@@Nihil0.0 Maces have both more physical and magic attack at the same tier. It's more to do with damage type, maces are bludgeoning/strike while swords are slashing. So maces are a bit better than the strength value would show against things like Skeletons, while swords are better against things like most Saurians.
Mk is stronger than assassign build?
in my opinion, firedrakes are way harder than daimon both forms.
Lol so true 😂
why do you play without pawns?
Austin might be able to make us a dark enchanted sword. I vote undulant black quest item. Tarred poison torpor blind all in one sword
Hmmmmmm, maybe 2 versions? You can have the Undulant with all of your debils, I would rather just the Element on a BroadSword or Undulant. But that would be awesome to have a Dark Sword for MK. That's really the only Perma weapon that was ever missing for me. I don't care if the Spellbows or Bows get it, but MK has always been without the Dark, and that would make me frown
Goes to show you how broken Periapts are.
Without them it's actually a struggle to kill bosses. With them, bosses might as well become a meme.
Mystic Knight is Longsword from Monster Hunter, change my mind.
My favorite weapon the magebreaker.. Also jump in the discord and look at the farm death video i made and maybe you can make a more professional video...it will surprise you that you can just walk up to death and kill him...easy way to power level sorcerer....or click on my profile and watch it lol...your choice...i can only make a 10 minute video but you can better and longer video...if you make it ill take mine down lol
Discord?
Ah, yep I see. That is a good way to glitch Death for exp. It's a good video, keep it up
@@michelalexsandro8605 it's a communication app. You make an account and can join servers where you can text chat and share pictures or use voice chat. For your phone, pc and I heard Xbox has it as well?
Imo I think sorcerer and mystic Knight are the most underrated classes in the game
I don’t think so because a lot of people play as mystic knight but there is not a lot of videos on RUclips 👌
mystic knight got boring for me. its just the same normal attack moves on a magic ball
Can’t believe you’re still playing this
I can't believe people still come here.
I'll stop when they stop.
Maybe
@@Nihil0.0 Good build, good game, and good gameplay. I don't see a reason to stop. Keep up the great videos.
