I wanna make a paladin type character, Or a magic and melee character
Are these any good? Whats the best way to go about it? Tried a two hander melee class my first playthrough, It was pretty fun but not much variety. Also heard you get fucked out of huge sections of the game if you don't do some obscure sidequest near the start

Also heard the start of the game is a bit of a slog in general. When does it get better?
After you reach gran soren. 20 hours.
Don't listen to this shit, it takes like 2 tops to get to Gran Soren
The classes aren't traditional in a way, so it can be hard to work out what you want just from looking at them. The arcane knight, for example, has a heavy focus on traps and perfect parries. The best thing to do really is just try each of them out for a few ranks, see what you like
Thanks
i love classes that focus on parries and traps, but most are thief like, i prefer the aesthetic of knights and shit
i'll probably go with that, But i'll see
Once you reach level 10 and get to Gran Soren, you can change your class at the inn. Since you want magic+melee, you'll definitely want to try out the Mystic Knight class, which has swords/maces, staves, and magick shields. Lots of spells based around enchanting your shield with an elemental spell that will trigger each time you block an attack, along with some weapon buffs and making sigils on the ground. Worth trying a bit of everything to get augments from other classes and break up monotony.
Sidequest is after you cut off a hydra head, say you won't accompany the group to take it yet and head back to the first village and talk to the chief. Then you can just head west a bit past the encampment and follow the marker to do that sidequest. Granted, you only miss out on like 2 other sidequests if you miss it so it's not a huge thing if you don't do it.

Then Mystic Knight is definitely your class, and it's arguably the best in the game.

I don't know what that would be.
>Also heard the start of the game is a bit of a slog in general. When does it get better?
After you reach Gran Soren, I suppose. That should take like and hour or two after finishing the tutorial.
Does anybody here play DD: Online? I'm extremely annoyed that it's so hard to get to the Warrior job trainer.
Here's a spoiler free guide for side quests xboxachievements.com
Play as a Mystic Knight once you hit level ten and reach Gran Soren.
Mystic Knight/Fighter is the best classes for paladin but good luck getting armor for the aesthetic (Unless you're not playing Dark Arisen and are playing the vanilla game, then the Hawk armor is perfect) Otherwise you'll have to make do with just average armor because the high tier stuff looks evil as shit.
Gryphic armor does look kinda Paladin-y (Though ditch the Gryphic helmet, it looks stupid as shit. ALWAYS Go for the Barreled Helmet for a Crusader look.)
Once you kill the Dragon near the end of the game you'll finally be able to access Paladin-looking gear (Also if you want to have a sword, make sure you kill the Dragon with a sword equipped to get one of the best and most paladin-esque powerful swords in the game) and stock up on Harspud Sauce and Juice to give as presents to Mathias the trader who sits right outside the entrance to the Greatwall in the Barta Crags.
At High Affinity he will sell you the Divine Surcoat which looks Paladin as fuck if you combine it with -
Silver mail scale undershirt
Gryphic Gauntlets
Gryphic Boots
Barreled Helm/Circlet or any cool helm of your choice
If you choose to be fighter use the sword Dragon's Dogma and the Orilux Shield (The Orilux Shield and the Barrelled helm can be bought from Caxton the Armorer after completing TWO of the Wyrm Hunt Quests which become available after reaching Gran Soren and completing A Matter of Myrmidons)
If you are going for Mystic Knight use Dragon's Dogma / Angel's Sanctum and use Knight's Honor until you kill the Dragon. Angel's Sanctum matches well with the Gryphic set and has nice stats as well. You can get it from Mathias as well after reaching high affinity. Just keep giving him Harspud Sauce/Juice until you hear a jingle and he starts blushing, which indicates any character with high affinity.
With either of these sets, you should have decent stats and actually look somewhat like a Crusader/Paladin. Most of the high tier armors look evil as all get-out with spikes and stuff.
OP Are you playing Vanilla DD or Dragon's Dogma : Dark Arisen?
Vanilla ps3 version
And thanks, i always go for fashion and ignore stats
Im going with mystic knight then, seems perfect
Friendly reminder.
>vanilla ps3
Stop and go get Dark Arisen. You're wasting your time with the vanilla version as it is missing BBI which is a proper endgame for the whole thing.
Mystic Knight is literally Paladin but with actual fucking spells and not just tacked on shit to support their melee badassary
Magick Archer can also focus on melee if you wish, with skills like Sunflare, Shadowsnare and Immolation, setting yourself on fire whilst you climb on top of shit is pretty efficient and is the only efficient way an MA can deal with golems.
Mystic Knight should be your starting class then.
There's tons of vocations to choose from and it's worth upgrading a few vocations to get their bonuses to build your ultimate class.
Get Dark Arisen on PC if you can. The experience is tons better with a proper framerate and the BBI expansion.

RULES OF NATURE
Since this is a Dragon's Dogma thread, what element buffs should I bring for my Great Cannons in BBI?
TIS WEAK TO FIRE AND ICE BOTH
THE SIGHT OF WOMEN EXCITES IT
In BBI it's men that get elder ogres all happy.
holy
always holy, no matter what
some monsters will be highly resistant to fire, shock or cold, but holy always works
Well I guess that explains why the huge sorcerer pawn I hired kept getting knocked out.
Wolves hunt in _____
Everyone loves pawns.
>they hold the advantage
Every time
homogres
>they hold the advantage
Every fucking time
Enemies in BBi are largely weak to ice and lightning. Holy is the boss killer though.
That said, Mystic Knights really take a dive in effectiveness on BBI because enemies actually have defense there, and split damage means having to punch through two separate damage checks. Pure physical MKs actually start to wreck shit on BBI, and the MK lvl3 weapon is even pure physical.
>Also heard you get fucked out of huge sections of the game if you don't do some obscure sidequest near the start
If you don't save Quina when she goes to the forest after leaving the encampment you lose access to a part of it.
Just follow the advice of and you will have no problems
