Trickster SUCKS!

[NOBLE SIX]

The only person that got tricked was me, tricked into wasting my time playing that blasted class to level 9.

I'm leveling it by playing warfarer instead, it's a lot slower since it spreads the xp to all vocations but it still works.

Summoning the smoke dragon is cool and the party damage buff is awesome, but the other skills are all for very specific situations and playing the babysitter for the pawns to do all the fighting doesn't feel effective compared to the other vocations.

On paper it looks very cool, but it just feels out of place in this game.

i leveled it first thing, just to get it out of the way, never touched it again.

I think it was well known that class would be just a meme class, nice to fool enemies AI a bit and laugh at their stupidit, but that's it.

I still vaguely recall reading somewhere that a class like this would've been the Arisen only option back when the first game was still in concept - you don't fight, just command the pawns from the back. Can't recall where, but I'm pretty sure about that and the existence of the trickster cements that.

Try combining it with Warfarer. Switch to trickster, cast a buff, then switch back to a damage class like thief/archer, to lay down the hurt. Also abuse the spell books and such, to deal damage while playing as a trickster.

It's fun and niche, but not well implemented at all.

And it sounds great but they didn't nailed it with trickster.

i think the best class is Mystic Spearhand but will try Wayfarer and Magic Archer

Thief and fighter probably the most used.

I wouldn't even put Mystic Spearhand in the top 3 after playing Thief, Magic Archer and Warfarer

[AILAD]

Yeah, it's a backseating vocation.

It needs some major work by Capcom to be worth it.

I like spearhand it's fun but not gonna try and tell you it's a powerhouse cause it not. Running it with Magic archer under warfarer and it's fun, but MA is the powerhouse damage wise ever without maister skills.

Once you try Magic Archer, you will see how useless the others are.

What's sad is that I really like the look of trickster. The default outfit and insence burner look great. The animations are great too. Just the actual gameplay that sucks.

[Ka-mai19]

Eh I enjoyed it. Used the illusion as an aggro bot/meat bag then I buffed my pawns to destroy things. While they did so I would jump on enemies and restrain them, throw rocks/explosive barrels at them, or throw enemies onto other enemies.

You take a more passive role in combat but it's still fun.

[CH13F]

only lvl it to get allure and detection passives, otherwise its a pointless class. unless you trying to meme enemies.

[Vi]

This is what I said too ! I leveled it up till lv 9 only to find out the final skill was "Enemy Detection" i am like wht!!!?!?!?? Is this a Metal Gear solid game where you have to sneak and ♥♥♥♥?? what the hell is this skill for reallly???

Mystic Spear Hand is an absolute Dragon delete-er. Really impressed with the zipping about and the high damage.
