I say, dear chaps and dames! Have you found yourself perplexed by the intricacies of delivering steampunk justice to the curs and filth of the monster hordes in Torchlight 2? Well, as luck would have it, you need look no further than this build guide to increase your brigand demolition quotient by fourfold! Have at it!Just as any great machine runs best on high-quality fuel, our Engineer build guide is assembled to be used in conjunction with our, which will be updated with new builds as they are come off of our assembly line.A note on respecsBy default, Torchlight 2 only allows you to respec your last three skill points (at a steep cost). Thus, you may already be so far in that these builds are impossible to use. Luckily, if you want the freedom to redistribute all of your skill points at any time, the game supports it. You'll just have to download a simple mod.

Torchlight 2 Character Builds
Make sure your cross-character stash is empty, as this process will overwrite it. This can be easily accomplished by creating a new character, and moving everything from the shared stash into their personal stash., and extract it to DocumentsMy GamesRunic GamesTorchlight 2saveLong string of letters and numbers.
When it asks to replace the existing file, say yes. Your shared character stash will now be filled with Respec Potions.
Quaff away to refund all spent skill points. This also has the benefit of letting you choose your starting attack skill on a new character, instead of having to use the default one. Unlike the similar method that uses console commands, this will not flag your character as a cheater in multiplayer.Got it? Good.All of the following builds have been tested on Veteran difficulty.Engineer Build: The Gentleman With The Large, Flaming ObjectA proper gentleman need be well-educated, practice good dental hygiene, and always be prepared to set large numbers of ruffians screaming through the air in flames with a nice whack from his trusty tools of mayhem. This build will make you a master of the melee, the foremost at fisticuffs; turning iron jaws to glass with the power of smoke and steam.Gear ChoiceGreat weapons are essential, you need not tarry with diminutive odds and ends.
Greataxes, greathammers, greatswords, and polearms will all serve your purposes nicely. Bonus fire damage, bonus electric damage, and armor penetration are always fine choices.Stat PointsHaving your wits about you will carry you just so far - you also need to be strong of arm to handle the kind of hardware this build requires. Two points per level, and often more, should go into Strength. Do not neglect Vitality, either, as you will more often than not be right in the thick of things, being attacked from all sides. Focus is important as well, to keep your machines of destruction running on pure, high-grade mana. And throw Dexterity a point now and then, just so it doesn't feel left out.Levels 1-25The key skills that make up this well-oiled demolition engine are Flame Hammer and Ember Hammer (Blitz tree). The former is your raw damage stand-by, while the latter will clear away those pesky shields right quick.
Remember to use Ember Hammer only when your charge is high and the need is immediate, as it does not build charge. Passives like Heavy Lifting and Supercharge (Blitz), as well as Fire and Spark (Construction), also demand attention, increasing your pain output with large, unwieldy objects and giving you more charge to kick those damage skills into overdrive.Once Onslaught (Blitz) unlocks at 21, add it to your priority list as it provides excellent battlefield mobility, a must for any front-line fighter in Torchlight 2.Levels 26-50Ember Reach (Blitz) should join your arsenal as a way to lock down those pesky ne'er do wells that have the audacity to turn and flee from an honorable duel. Storm Burst (Blitz) can give you a differently-flavored movement skill, but I find it too redundant to use at the same time as Onslaught, so grab a respec potion if you want to try it out and pick one or the other. Dynamo Field and Overload (Aegis) make a devastating combo with Onslaught, but will require you to neglect your passives to get them up to speed.Levels 51-100You should now be able to start maxing your passives, or the Onslaught/Dynamo Field/Overload combo, depending on what you let fall behind in the earlier levels. You can start funneling some points into Coup de Grace (Blitz), and if you find yourself dying a lot, some survivability skills like Charge Domination and Bulwark (Construction), or Aegis of Fate (Aegis). Emberquake (Blitz) is always tempting, of course, and layers well with your other AoE attacks as it does not consume charge.
Just be sure you have the mana to support it. Tremor (Aegis) is also a less all-or-nothing alternative to Overload, but I would not recommend taking both.
I've posted before, but man, I just really love this build. It's a super active style and I find high activity to be the most fun. Plus, it gives you a craptonne of minions to run around and fight for you.

It becomes your job to position yourself well and conduct the action while never getting hit with a melee attack and protecting yourself from range attacks with Ice Prison. You can't just run around mindlessly taking clubs to the face and arrows to the chest.you've got to play it smart. Just replace skill 2 (Magma Mace) with Frost Wave.
Magma mace just isn't very useful in this build (damage is based on DPS and this isn't a DPS build - also, this build is too squishy in the higher NG+ and up difficulties, so kiting and blocking with Ice Prison is much better than getting too close to guys).Also, you'll notice from the overview video that Prismatic Bolt is on skill 1 and regular wand attack is on Left Mouse Button. I found out after I made the overview video that you can put some better skills on LMB, in my case Prismatic Bolt. This frees up skill 1 for something such as Elemental Boon or Thunder Locus.
I also forgot to mention, since kiting and visibility are so important on this build, you'll also want to get yourself a camera distance mod. But I think the default camera is too close no matter what the build. All this, plus smart play, can easily take you up to NG on the regular Synergies mod. I'd also recommend, if u don't have a mouse like the Razer Naga, to put your 1-10 on something like 1-5 and qwert, and use zx for your potions. You'll be casting so much that having to constantly reach over to 890 will be slow and possibly innacurate. Since no one said anything about the Outlander, I will: it can quickly be boring if you pump everything in glaive throw with lots of mana, and you are kinda taken into this road since it's the best AoE in the beginning, aside from using shotguns.
Mixed Builds are cooler for this class, but also usually worse. I'm going in kind of a summoner build, with spells for skeletons plus the Shadow Golem and the bat-procs, and I use the two first skills for all-around damage. So far is holding up!Ps.
Get the respec potion mod so you can change builds a bit more easily, without grinding the whole game just to see what works or what is cool.
Are you working yourself into a bestial rage trying to decide on a build for your Torchlight 2 berserker? We have just the thing for that! Well, actually, it will probably just make you angrier.
But when you're a berserker, that's generally a good thing. Best if used in conjunction with our, which will be updated with new builds as we release them.
A note on respecsBy default, Torchlight 2 only allows you to respec your last three skill points (at a steep cost.) Thus, you may already be so far in that these builds are impossible to use. Luckily, if you want the freedom to redistribute all of your skill points at any time, the game supports it.
You'll just have to follow a few steps. NOTE: This will give your character a visible cheater flag beside your name in multiplayer, just like editing the stats file does. Some people have a problem with that. Others don't. Just a fair warning. Find your Torchlight 2 save folder, usually under Documents/My Games/Runic Games/Torchlight 2/save.
Open settings.txt, and find the line that says 'CONSOLE:0', which should be third from the top. Change it to 'CONSOLE:1'. Save the text file, load up a character, and hit INSERT to bring up the console.
Type 'ITEM RespecPotion'. It will appear at your feet. Quaff away to refund all spent skill points. This also has the benefit of letting you choose your starting attack skill on a new character, instead of having to use the default one. It's also worth noting that, as far as we can tell, only characters that actually use the spawn item command will be cheater flagged. Just enabling the console shouldn't mess up your whole account.Got it? Good.All of the following builds have been tested on Veteran difficulty.
Berserker Build: The Dire WolfWho needs a right mouse button? This build will start you off buffing your passives for crit, charge, and lifesteal while relying mostly on auto-attacks for damage. Fights with lots of enemies will be tough until your mid- to late 20s, when you'll start picking up better area attacks and multi-hit effects.Gear ChoiceDual fist weapons are where it's at. Keep the focus on grievous single-target damage, and build charge so you can hit Frenzy and turn into a human lawnmower as fast as possible. Attack speed, bonus Dual Wield damage, and lightning damage are all excellent with this build, in addition to pure armor and resistance due its fragility.Stat PointsStrength and Dexterity should always be primary.
Put at least two of your five points at each level up into each of them, for damage and crits. Your remaining point can rotate between your 'dump' stats. Vitality will need to get some love if you don't want to be dropping a fortune on revives. I would try not to let it fall too far below two thirds of your total level.
Focus is also useful in that it increases your execute chance while dual wielding. If you're dying a lot, put your fifth point into Vitality.
If it's not an issue at the moment, invest in Focus.Once you get to the point that Strength and Dexterity are close to or over 50 (ignoring gear), you can start dropping some points from them into other things. I would still recommend putting at least one point per level into each for your entire career, though.Levels 1-25Initially, you want to focus almost entirely on your passives.
Keep Blood Hunger and Executioner (Hunter tree) as well as Frenzy Mastery (Shadow tree) maxed. These create a great synergy of letting you Frenzy more often and longer, while granting you great lifesteal while frenzying. Even as 'glass cannon' as this build is, with those passives maxed, you can usually go toe-to-toe with any boss while in Frenzy and have enough lifesteal to completely or mostly offset their damage.If you can't put points into any of the above, put them in Stormclaw (Tundra tree) and later Wolf Strike (Hunter Tree), prioritizing the latter once Stormclaw has reached Tier 1. This will give you some multi-target damage as well as excellent mobility, which you will find yourself in desperate need of on certain bosses.Levels 26-50Battle Rage (Hunter tree) should become your top priority (after passives) as soon as you unlock it. If you find yourself with all three passives, Wolf Strike, Stormclaw, and Battle Rage maxed, consider going into Rampage (Hunter) and Shred Armor (Shadow). When Ravage (Hunter) unlocks at level 42, getting it to Tier 1 should become your top priority after your core three passives for its boss-shredding ability. Then, go back to having Battle Rage be your priority active skill.Levels 51-100Keep maxing out everything above, including the Rampage and Shred Armor passives.
When you have free points, grab some Cold Steel Mastery (Tundra) for a pure DPS boost. Rage Retaliation (Tundra) can also be useful. If you want more active buttons to press, you can go the Raze (Hunter) route, doing huge damage while you're in Frenzy (but it doesn't build charge, so should only be used in Frenzy), or Rupture (Hunter) for more AoE damage. Beyond all that, it's mostly up to you. Enjoy the bloodbath.
There used to be a website called Torchlight Armoury that people loved to use for calculators for builds to share, but was shut down back in June/July So I can't really link you a build. Most guides out there should work for you, since this game hasn't been updated recentlyBUT here's a website I found to help you outGenerally speaking, Shield Engy needs Flame Hammer, Healing Bot, Forcefield, Fire and Spark, Bulwark, Sword and Board, and Rank 1 Shield Bash. There are a number of skills you can use and it's up to you to do whatever you want. It's arguable that Frostwave is better than PBolt since it eventually reaches 5 waves per spell, same as PBolt's 5 bolts per spell, but FW is massive aoe and instantly maxes your charge bar.That being said PBolt probably casts 2-3x faster, can be shot around corners and over cliffs, and in terms of single target focus does about 2x faster dps.Buuut you'd also need to cast both Hailstorm AND Firestorm to achieve max dps, both very slow spells to cast, whereas with FW you'd only need Hailstorm.So I guess what I'm trying to say that every embermage spell is situational and viable. My current Elite HC embermage (lvl 31) has almost every spell: firebomb, blazing pillar, infernal collapse, hailstorm, frost phase, elemental boon, frostwave, pbolt, thunder locus, elemental attunement, all 3 brands, frozen fate, and prismatic rift. It's A LOT OF FUN:D.
