Dragon's Dogma 2 is an action RPG where, although the game is only single-player, the playthrough of the title feels full of life due to the three pawns players can recruit to join them on their adventure. Alongside selecting what classes would be best to make up the player's team, pawns can also be given select specializations or be recruited with them already.
Dragon's Dogma 2: All Warrior Skills, Ranked
Players interested in learning how the Warrior skills in Dragon's Dogma 2 stack up may want to peruse the following ranking.
These tomes allow the player to give their pawn a purpose that can help them in various situations of Dragon's Dogma 2. With this in mind, this is every pawn specialization, ranked on how useful it is during the player's adventure.
6 Aphonite
They Will Never Talk
The least useful specialization of all in Dragon's Dogma 2 has to be the Aphonite specialization. Pawns that have read from this tome will hardly speak to the Arisen unless it's important. While this may be great for a player who has grown tired of the constant banter between all the pawns, compared to the other specializations in this action RPG, the Aphonite brings nothing to the table.
Its only purpose is to keep that pawn quiet, which can make traveling between places in Dragon's Dogma 2 feel very lonely. Players may wish to avoid this specialization entirely on their travels.
-
The Aphonite Tome can be gained by giving Eino in Eini's Home gifts he likes until he is at high affinity. He will then give the player the
Aphonite's Tome.
5 Hawker
Purchase The Player's Unwanted Items
Another available specialization that is arguably quite useless is the Hawker specialization. Pawns that have learned from this tome have the ability to purchase random items from the player for gold.
Dragon's Dogma 2: Best Armor For Lightning Damage Resistance
Lightning damage is one of many damage types players in Dragon's Dogma 2 will have to counter. These are the best armor to defend against it.
This specialization is also quite limiting, as the option for the pawns to buy anything from the player only becomes available if the Arisen is carrying too many things and the group is resting at a campsite. A player is more likely to just sell what they want when they arrive in a town, especially as they have no control over what the pawn wants to buy.
- Players can get the Hawker Tome by giving a merchant who carries a large backpack, enough gifts to get them to a high affinity. They will then give the player this tome.
4 Woodland Wordsmith
Understands Elvish
Players are likely to encounter Elves during their adventure in Dragon's Dogma 2. However, as they aren't an elf themselves, the player will be unable to understand anything these people are saying. This can make purchasing from them or talking to these people very difficult. Thankfully, the Woodland Wordsmith specialization is here to help.
With this tome learned, players can now read the subtitles for the elves they are speaking to and have a much easier time communicating with them. However, a player should not give this specialization to their own pawn but instead, recruit a pawn with this specialization when they are roaming these areas.
- Players can get the Woodland Wordsmith tome by giving Grisha in the Sacred Arbor gifts that she likes until she's at high affinity, she will then give them the tome.
3 Forager
Highlights Materials For The Player
Players need various materials to not only enhance their gear but also to craft the various curatives needed to survive in battle in Dragon's Dogma 2. While many of the materials needed a player is likely to find easily on their adventures, having a pawn with the Forager specialization is still useful for pointing out where some of those rarer supplies can be found.
Players should now see crystals on their map, which is where these materials can be found. This specialization is perfect to be combined with the Simple inclination, as it causes the pawn to gather more items and therefore pick up the materials they point out to the player.
- The Forager Tome can be found after completing 'The Heels of History' side quest. Once it has been completed, stand around The Gracious Hand in the morning in Vernworth and Malcom should give the player the tome.
2 Logistician
Allows The Pawn To Craft
The Logistician specialization is quite a double-edged sword when it comes to how useful it is. Players who are sick and tired of spending time crafting various things in their inventory will love the Logistician as this pawn will take it into their own hands to craft various random things from the materials that are to be found in everyone's inventory.
Dragon's Dogma 2: Largest Monsters, Ranked
Dragon's Dogma 2 features an array of terrifying monsters that challenge the Arisen. These creatures in particular tower over all else.
However, players also have no control over what is created, which could risk valuable material being wasted to be made into something the player is unlikely to use.
- The Logistician Tome can also be gained through completing 'The Heels of History' side quest. After it is done, Kendrick should approach the player to give them the tome.
1 Chirurgeon
Uses Curatives On The Arisen And Allies
Out of all the available specializations for pawns in Dragon's Dogma 2, by far the best of the bunch and the most useful is the Chirurgeon specialization. A pawn with this is able to use various curatives on their fellow pawns and the Arisen. This means the player no longer has to worry about their allies going down during combat as often, as the pawn with Chirurgeon will go around handing pawns potions to heal or remove various effects from them too.
The Chirurgeon specialization goes hand-in-hand with the Kindhearted inclination, as these pawns prioritize supporting their allies. Which is only made more useful with being able to use curative items too.
- The Chirurgeon Tome can be earned by completing the quest 'Medicaments Predicament' and then talking to Flora and her grandfather in Vernworth.
