==Description==
==Description==
The shepherd is a man of the field. They use the field in order to attack and defend in battle.
Shepherds are folk of the flock, and rely upon their cloven comrades to aid in battle. They make good early support characters with sleep-inducing skills and simple healing, but their real power lies in the lambpede skill.

===Usefulness===
====3DS Abilities====
The Shepherd class's best skill is Whistle, which induces a battle any time the party is on the field. This is great for quickly leveling up class tiers and regular levels. The Wool Guard skill also protects the party from cold damage, good against monsters who use cold breath attacks like [[Gracos]]. Stampede works like [[Gabo|Gabo's]] Howl attack

In terms of evolution, the Shepherd, when combined with the mastered [[Thief]] class, becomes a [[Tamer]] and learns all sorts of breath attacks. However, its main advantage is to tame monsters for the [[Monster Park]]. For completionists, a Tamer is essential but for those just going through the game, there are better classes to become than a Tamer.

====Usefulness====
The Shepherd class's best skill is Whistle, which induces a battle any time the party is on the field. This is great for quickly leveling up vocation tiers and regular levels. The Wooly Blanket skill also protects the party from cold damage, good against monsters who use ice breath attacks like [[Gracos]]. Stampede works like [[Ruff|Ruff's]] Howl attack and improves with the user's level.
 
In terms of career advancement, the Shepherd, when combined with a rank 8 [[Thief]], becomes a [[Monster Master|Monster Master]] and learns all sorts of breath attacks. However, its main purpose is to tame monsters for [[Monster Meadows]].
 
===[[Dragon Quest VII Reimagined]]===
Shepherd is a unique basic vocation focused on offering support to their allies with sheep-themed skills.
 
Mastering this vocation alongside [[Thief]] unlocks the [[Monster Master]] vocation.
