There are ten careers in total in Dragon’s Dogma 2, but you have to earn six of the classes first. The warmaster plays a special role, pushing even players with 100 hours of experience to the limits.
What’s special about Dragon’s Dogma 2’s Warmaster? This career is only available to your Awakened One. With it you can equip all the weapons and armor in the role-playing game and even change the peacemakers smoothly in battle.
You can also combine all weapon skills, as well as the core skills of all classes, with one another. Casting the levitation spell with a magic wand, gaining height, only to then switch to a two-handed sword and fall on the targeted victim with a powerful blow – this is just one of the Warmaster’s countless options.

The effort behind the track and the restrictions that seem annoying at first glance fade away when you become aware of the potential of the game style. PC Gamer’s Fraser Brown, who had already put 100 hours into Dragon’s Dogma 2 in his Warmaster debut, describes the career experience as follows:
The potential [des Kriegsmeisters] is just ridiculous. Each of these ten callings offers so much creative play on their own, and when you combine them all, it’s… well, it’s almost too much to handle.

According to Brown, for example, you have to pay attention to the order in which you change the weapons. If you first want to float into the air and then gouge out a cyclops’ eye with a one-handed sword (the thief’s specialty), you need your one-handed sword directly after the staff so that the timing is right.
However, it is then no longer possible to implement the hover/two-handed attack combination mentioned at the beginning. For Fraser Brown, figuring out and trying out all these combinations is a large part of the fascination, but also the challenge, of the war master.
