Dragon's Dogma 2 Maister's Teachings explained
There are different vocations you can choose from when you visit a Vocational Guild and each has a distinct playstyle and traits, and the more advanced you become, the harder it gets. You're at liberty to change classes whenever it suits you.
Vocation Maisters are depicted as highly skilled practitioners, or in simplest words, the best of the best in a particular skill. They will be your mentors and sources of specialised knowledge if you want to excel in a certain vocation you choose to step foot into.
For instance, if you want to excel in attacking with great speed using both hands, then a thief Maister is the epitome of mastery in that skill.
