Armamentalist: Difference between revisions

The '''Armamentalist''' (魔法戦士, ''Mahou Senshi'', lit. Magic Warrior), also known as the ''Magic Knight'', is a class in the {{DQSeries}}. Combining the attributes of Warriors and Magi, they have shifted from single-target specialists to capable crowd-controllers since their debut, and have gained a Musketeer motif in official illustrations.

Armamentalists gain strong spells and skills at the expense of most stats. A character needs to master both the [[Warrior]] and [[Mage]] vocations to become a Armamentalist. They are the only advanced vocation to feature no additional traits or special effects.

In the original PS1 version, the class was known as the [[Ranger]]. They are still the reliable magic knight it was in ''VI'', and requires the same prerequisites. In the 3DS version, Armamentalist outfits are similar to stereotypical musketeers, wearing tunics, leather boots, and large plumed hats like those seen in ''Dragon Quest IX''.

The Armamentalist's class-unique skill is Fource. The Fource skill tree provides many bonuses to health, defense, strength, and attack. You will also unlock different Fources, (i.e., Fire Fource, Funeral Fource, etc) that allow the Armamentalist to imbue other party members with elemental attributes, raising their elemental defense as well as allowing them to deal damage based on the corresponding element of the used. Multiple fource's can be used on a character at the same time (or on all of the party if you finished the lvl 40 class quest and keep the rewarded scroll in the Armamentalist's inventory).

Unlockable by completing Quest #109 - "Elementary Training" at [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest IX)|Alltrades Abbey]].
