Build Summary
DPS-Support (Ranged)
![Dragon's Dogma 2 - Magick Archer Vocation Icon]()
The Magick Archer is best built as a primary DPS and secondary support character with enough tools to fulfill both roles effectively in the party. As with most hybrid vocations, this build is extremely skill-reliant so upgrading your maximum stamina and stamina recovery speed is crucial. Afterwards, focus on getting augments that increase DPS using magic and elemental attacks.
