Hmm. I'm thinking I could change to thief and them maybe swap out the sorcerer for an archer

Mystic Spearhand has been better than thief for me.

I know I'm a broken record at this point, but Thief is so much fun.
I haven't actually changed vocations at all since I switched from Archer, less than an hour into my playthrough (except to acquire all the starting gear for each class, which I then sold to make lots of gold #DragDogLifeHack).

I quite like being ranged though. Can see more of what's going on. Imagine thief will need to be in the thick of it to be fully effective.
Hmm.

I’m beginning to realise that Billy may actually be… an arsehole.

Archer you just need to get used to targeting the weak spots. Big chunks of health come off.

Thief just didn’t click with me, MS took a bit of time but as Jambo said, it’s really effective. Shields for all? Yes please!

Found the elves, but need a translator. I’ve seen a few pawns that say they can translate so I’ll guess I’ll hire one of those.

I don't know to be honest. Maybe I was just so used to being an Archer and thief was a completely different style of play. I just didn't feel that powerful, moves didn't really click with me etc. I was probably doing it wrong though as everyone else seems to love it!

I might be the same as you with it. I kinda get used to the first thing I do and get settled in. If I change now it might make me think what a maxed out archer is like, so I think I'm going to at least max it and then see.

I maxed archer then switched. Got to about 6 I think with thief then switched to MS. Which is great so far.

Skull Splitter is as delightfully broken as it was in the first game. I'll be doing the same though, maxing all Vocations.

Good to know re skull splitter
I'm just *always* waiting for a monster to survive my arrows and run at me and I'm standing there like a goon still thinking I've got trigger and toss on standby. I just can't break that bloody mindset!

If you need a Pawn who speaks Elvish, my Pawn ID is BKC1UE5PR9XH. Gonna level Tatiana to max in all vocations eventually and is currently a Fighter.

I'll max each one I select unless I really bounce off them. I’ll probably go back and max out thief at some point. Having a lot of fun with MS at the moment though.

The way I selected my party in the first game, once I understood the madness going on, was to make my pawn do the job that I either didn't want to do, or couldn't do efficiently enough myself. It always ended up with me enjoying the ranged and backup melee, my pawn to keep an eye on healing, and then add another melee dps and another magic dps.
It's a bit different in this though, purely because I can get 90% of the strategy above but I haven't got that ever-so-useful backup melee :/

Mystic Spearhand has been better than thief for me. I enjoyed that, started archer to max, the mystic spearhand to max, then went warrior. I may have to pivot to thief, warrior is much slower than spearhand.

Haha, that's what I did too. Thankfully I did it in Vermund so just waddled up the stairs and chucked everything in the inn storage.

Holy shit, guys - I just learned that different combinations of materials result in different creations.
