In the game Torchlight 2 classes are one of the main aspects of the world, because the whole subsequent adventure depends on their choice. All users need to take this decision seriously, because choosing the wrong character can affect interest in the plot and further entertainment. This article will briefly describe each of the existing archetypes. We are talking about four main and as many heroes that are added using global modification.
Maximum simplicity
Among the classes in Torchlight 2, Amber Mage is the easiest, but at the same time unusual. This archetype relies entirely on its active skills, due to which it inflicts huge damage. He has in his arsenal many attacks that operate in the area, and therefore the mass extermination of enemies for the Amber Mage is a mere trifle. It is believed that this particular character is the easiest to master, especially in the initial stages. The player just has to stand in the distance, use his elementary attacks. A pet can be placed in an attack mode so that they pay attention to it first of all.
Hidden rage
In the game Torchlight 2 classes are diverse in their mechanics. For example, an Amber magician must stand far away and pierce all targets with shells of the “Spear of Magma” type. Berserker is very different in this regard, because he needs to come close to the enemy. He relies only on the physical type of attack and critical strike. Briefly summarizing, the user must jump to the first target, cut it out, move on and fill the rage scale as quickly as possible. When it is at its maximum level, critical damage will increase and Berserker will simply not be stopped. Even bosses will feel his power on themselves. In pumping, you need to combine strength and agility in order to achieve maximum effect in battle. This class has a low health reserve, which should be noted. To break into the thick of the enemy without a clear understanding of their actions can be dangerous. Berserker's main skills are strokes with various effects. He suffers from the lack of damage in the area, because any skills that allow you to control the crowd of enemies will be worth its weight in gold.
Many options
One of the most interesting classes in Torchlight 2 is the Engineer. This character is primarily distinguished by the fact that he must choose his skills in accordance with the type of weapon that is planned to be used. For example, when attacking with a two-handed weapon, special skills are needed that will strengthen it. It will be useful to increase the attack speed through the passive skill Heavy Lifting. This is just one of many options. Some abilities allow you to call different mechanisms to help you. One robot restores health, spiders attack enemies. An engineer can be a close and long range fighter at the same time. If you put the gun in the second slot, then it can also be used. When choosing this class, the player should also pay attention to a special gain scale. It is divided into five segments. The first is responsible for strengthening the character holistically, and the rest increase the strength of other abilities. It is the Engineer that is the class that can be pumped in different directions and try all sorts of assemblies.
The need to pay attention to tactics
In Torchlight 2, Shooter will be the best class for difficulty lovers. This character is highly sophisticated and demanding of the player. He must perfectly assess the situation and not allow himself to be surrounded. In battle, the shooter must constantly move, look for ways to retreat and have a large supply of potions for healing. He has a small health reserve, like Berserker, but he can restore it due to active skills. Shooter does not have such an opportunity, plus all shots eat up mana too much. It can inflict damage in jumping, increase distance due to a sharp distance and has a large stock of abilities that inflict damage on all enemies in the area. A variety of assemblies Arrow depends on what kind of weapon the player will use. Massive gun, bow, shotgun, two pistols - skills in these areas will be slightly different from each other. Revolvers provide greater speed, from a bow you can hit long distances. To fully become comfortable as a Shooter, you need to practice a lot and try different sets of skills.
First Extra Archetype
A global modification called Synergies for Torchlight 2 adds four new classes to the project, in addition to the heroes described above. The first of these is the Warlock, who is very different in mechanics from other characters. The bottom line is that there is no specific specialization for this class. He handles various elements well, especially with fire and electricity. In the skill branches, the Warlock needs two resources to select a skill. The first is called "Hellfire", the second - "Substance of emptiness". These materials are generated during battles. The first, for example, appears after using skills that are associated with the element of fire. Another feature is the ability to call for help a wide variety of creatures. A great option is the fire dragon, which burns all enemies in its path. Warlock belongs to those classes that become easy prey near. He needs to select a distant position, since the skills have a large attack radius.
High damage tank
Mods for new classes for Torchlight 2 also add Palladin. This two-handed character relies on divine providence. Its advantage is that it can do great damage while restoring health to itself. Thanks to this feature, Palladin can be considered a tank. Indeed, his pet has only an auxiliary function. Of the skills it should be noted a circular blow with a split armor, passive skills, as well as blessings of various kinds. In Torchlight 2, the class guide cannot be made perfect, because each user will want to choose the assembly at their discretion. Here you can build the whole pumping on the archetype reinforcements. Active skills will increase power in a defensive and attacking direction. The player will only have to approach the enemies and battle them with whole crowds. The second option is to empower weapons with divine power; you can also throw debuffs on all creatures to make them easier to kill.
Helper Army
Among the classes in Torchlight 2, the Necromancer also has some specific features. He is the real master of the world of dead souls, and all his skills are guided by this. The basis of this class is to summon just a huge number of diverse creatures. This includes a huge bone dragon, skeletons, zombies and more. They immediately rush to attack the enemies and even exert superior forces in the amount of pressure. There are two aspects to consider when managing a Necromancer. Firstly, constantly monitor the amount of mana and do not forget to increase it with increasing levels. Secondly, you must clearly remember all the timings of your skills. A necromancer must have in stock a skill in case of a sudden attack from behind, while the main army of summoned creatures will fight at the forefront. If you cope with these difficulties, then no problems during the passage should not arise. Passive skills in three branches should be pumped only by one. The remaining points to invest in strengthening their assistants from the other world.
Alternative long-range class
Adds Synergies mod to Torchlight 2 class Ranger, which is the last in the list of existing ones. This character is considered a certain alternative to Strelok with the same specialization, but with different skills. The essence of the hero is that he needs to be pumped not through the number of active skills, as in Amber Mage, but namely through strengthening one skill. For example, if you take the Spikes ability, then the Ranger will shoot waves of special shells from long-range pistols or crossbows. All the following points after leveling should be sent to those branches where the shots will become overgrown with additional effects. This is especially true of lightning, as well as poisoning. In the parameters, you should take dexterity to an indicator of 50% critical damage, and put the rest into force. In battle, the player simply shoots spikes at the enemy without stopping, sometimes using control or auxiliary skills. If you perfectly own all the assemblies on Strelka, then there will not be any problems with the Ranger.
Choosing your archetype
In Torchlight 2, new classes and old ones are equally good in their own way, if you can use their strengths. Some characters are easier to implement, others require more attention and fewer mistakes. Everyone deserves to exist, and the choice is left to the users. Here you should be guided by your own preferences in the conduct of battle. With a love of witchcraft and simplicity, you should choose Amber the mage or Warlock. Shooter is suitable for a long distance, and Berserker is good near. If it is difficult to determine, then you can take the Engineer, and build the assembly already during the adventure. The game allows you to do this and that is what attracts users. It is worth saying that fans are never limited to one hero, but always create several of them.
