The Steam Marketplace is home to many, many, top-down hack-and-slashers, each often bearing different and unique interpretations to a concept which often closely follows a particular formula - and not all these isometric dungeon crawlers are made equal.

Torchlight 2 is a pretty old game, but still, there are a lot of fans who loves the game. I have been playing all Torchlight parts since the first one, so this post is a bit nostalgic. In any case, I am doing it for my friends who asked for this Torchlight 2 Classes guide. So lest cover this topic now. The closest thing to a support/tank in Torchlight 2; the Engineer can utilize large two-handed hammers or a sword and board set up. In addition to this he can construct robots to heal him and his. Torchlight 2 Engineer Summoner Build Guide by Bokuden. Hey guys, Ever since the game came out, I’ve been looking for a way to be a summoner but also not be squishy or be one shotted like the alchemist from TL1 used to beThen i came along the forums and saw a post regarding full vitality (cnt find the original sorry) and wanted to test it out on ELITE modeLow and behold im lvl 81 going.

The core loop of fighting through ‘arenas’ of enemies, leveling up with enough experience, and building a set of skills to continue fighting more enemy hordes and the occasional boss is this genre’s bread and butter. Surely, most people considering purchasing Torchlight 2 will already be familiar with either other games in this vein, maybe even this series’ own first instalment, so the basics should come easily who starts playing. Character inventory windows, stats screens, spreadsheet-like attribute management, towns full of immobile vendors and individuals who are going to need you to kill X amount of Y monsters for no particular reason other than to balance the XP progression, all that basic stuff is here.

Where Torchlight 2 finds room to innovate is in bodywork of setting, art design, ambience, and immense diversity of gameplay styles that has been expertly crafted over the stock isometric game chassis. Obs for mac os x 10.7.5 7 5 upgrade.

The special world of the Torchlight franchise is the first thing you’ll notice after you boot the game up. It really manages to stand out from the other big names of the genre by avoiding the lifted-straight-from-real-mythology dryness of the likes of Titan Quest, while finding its own niche somewhere between the spectrum of Grim Dawn’s bleak grey hellscape and Fate’s baby-friendly green meadows. The art direction makes uses of a wide palette and a just-slightly-exaggerated style to create a widely diverse array of interesting locales from desert tombs, to fungi forests, to volcanic magma chamber garages and more.

The world this game puts you in is certainly interesting, and the plot - relatively simple and straightforward as it is - relates to the fact that this is a universe where literal magic, legendary creatures, and a underworld filled with angry, writhing, tentacles all exist, and are all merely commodities in a world more interested in their ongoing technological boom and “modernisation”.

The interaction of this world of fantasy tropes and rather advanced machinery fantastically extends to the gameplay too, and where most similar games would have all their players all fall into the typical knight-mage-rogue triad, Torchlight 2 offers up the ability to play as a duel-pistols gunslinger, or a power-armour toting, cannon-wielding, engineer alongside more ‘traditional’ class options.

Once you’ve got that main story out of the way, you’ve got a whole separate post-game dungeon system, New Game+, multiplayer support, and an extensive roster of Steam Achievements and Trading Cards to 100%. If you are looking for a great isometric “Diablo Clone”, this is easily one of the best on (or off) Steam. Above all everything about this game emphasises actual fun.

Extremely recommended.

Torchlight 2 Engineer Summoner Build Guide by Bokuden

Hey guys,
Ever since the game came out, I’ve been looking for a way to be a summoner but also not be squishy or be one shotted like the alchemist from TL1 used to be…Then i came along the forums and saw a post regarding full vitality (cnt find the original sorry) and wanted to test it out on ELITE mode…Low and behold im lvl 81 going through New game plus like its normal mode.Ive died about 15 times usually due to my arrogance…traps that one shot u (elite mode they will).and using the cacklespit potion coz i was stuck on a rooftop of a building and i just beat vyrax tower and i wanted to pick up my loot .Anywayz I would def recommend this build and will start myself a HC character when i get the chance.Les get started:

Pros:
-50% block all the time.no need for spells etc
-lots of hp
-very very durable
-Unexpectedly hits very hard!!!!

Cons:
-Kinda hard to level in the beginning – i always played this character on elite mode and did not cheat n go to internet to play it on a lesser difficulty lol
-sometimes your summons might get stuck in ledges – but just run far enough and theyll respawn near u or run to u

Stat Allocation
-ALL POINTS ON VITALITY – NOTHING ELSE WHY? – because all your skills will be based on player level as well as gear that adds minion damage or health
-Its good to note that block chance caps at 50% so if anyone wants to do a variance of the build and go to dex or focus or watever its up to you
-I was thinking bout putting some on dex to also get dodge but i was already too high a lvl and i did not want to mess up the build

Skills – So since our main atk will be Spider mines (lvl 14)- i used flame hammer as my main atk until then.i did however recover the point before i added points to other skills.then added it as the last point so i can once again recover later on
-Ember hammer –> 1 point – breaks shields 100% – very useful especially since you can take hits, so just run in break shields and let the mines and minions do the rest
-however – i found that at higher lvls i didnt even bother doing this because 1- monsters hit alot harder, 2- the mines and your minions (especially sledgebot) will break it
so feel free to use any 1 handed weapon with good minion enchantments!!
-Storm Burst –> 1 point or your preference – I actually did not get this skill until about lvl 70 and found that if i had this skill early on.i would not have died more than half the times.very useful except against some elites and bosses and make sure you watch out where ur bursting to because you might get stuck

-*Healbot –> 15 points – this is by far the best skill the eng has over all the other characters.just keep putting points into this whenever u can!!!!
-*Spider mines –> 15 points – get this to 5 points early on.and keep it there until ur high enough to get rank 10 due to high mana cost (i think at lvl 46 you can get rank 10)
-This is by far the most underrated skill we have!!!!!!…these scale with ur lvl.and at each lvl gives it a 5% chance increase to spawn a supermine (stuns), and this actually puts a dot on the enemy as well as shock so that ur
next hits, hit alot harder
-Also you can throw these anywhere lol…u dont have to target anything just keep throwing it.and the aoe is awesome.(example – owned the big slime guys on phase portal in new game plus)
-*Gunbot –> 15 points – although its not great the dps is good enough.usually in the earlier lvls wenever i make this guy come out i tank the elite or boss so that he kinda stays still
-*Sledgebot –> 15 points – wow this robot is awesome!!! this guy hits hard (thas what she said).since in earlier lvls the cd is long and he duration is short.i summon sledgebot and gunbot on intervals.when one goes away summon the other
and vice versa.up to u how u want to play it
-*Bulwark –> 15 points – what more can i say this is great for tanking.up to you how u want to put points into this i usually put points into it whenever i had leftover points

Big Dog

-*Immobilization copter –> 15 points – very underrated as well.this is great against mages.well actually everyone especially at higher lvls because you can kite forever
-*Aegis of fate –> 15 points – This is a must have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…I dont care what people say about forcefield let me tell you why!!!!!!!!!
1- aegis is set off by chance when you get hit.which you will be because ur a tank.also the damage absorbed is calculated by your armor value which you will have high amount due to full stat on Vit
2- Forcefield will only absorb alot of damage if you have charges –> the skills we are using does not generate charge.so you have none = forcefield useless
-***At this point i have around 17 unused skill points and am not sure what skill to use it…I am thinking about tremor but still not sure – let me knw what you guys think

Spells
-Blood Zombie – I love this because it scales with players lvl.my pet has one and i have one also
-Animal handling – increased pet dps and armor
-Armor expertise – increased physical armor
-and right now im using barter to get more gold lol — your choice on what you want.theres a spell for increased block chance if you choose to not put all vitality

Torchlight 2 Best Engineer Build

Pet spells – these are my choice summons but its completely up to you what you want to do
-Blood Zombie
-Summon Skeleton
-Nether imp
-Silence -this is nice against mages especially with nether imp Rubygems issues for mac.
