and Focus here and there just to get the slight benefits from those, Focus is probably more useful considering you'll likely be spamming Flame Hammer as your primary skill which will be a big mana drain. but also try to invest a couple points in Dex. So for levels 11-20 you can be a little more liberal with your skill points, I would still focus on Str. This isn't a cannon build though so I wouldn't recommend using those with this setup, most of the skills we use will be pointless if you have a cannon. Quick note, in case you weren't quite sure or haven't played the game yet and you're just trying to get a leg up for when you do the 2H weapons in this game are labeled as: greataxe, greathammer, greatsword, polearm, and cannon.It's still an alright skill but I wouldn't really call it a primary one. I only put one skill point into this ability and I don't use it very often, just on occasion.

Skill point wise, put points in leveling your Flame Hammer (Blitz) ability as well as getting the Heal Bot (Construction) skill (this is how we'll maintain health and mana without having to use all your potions in 30 seconds) and you'll also want Heavy Lifting (Blitz) (this skill will increase your two-handed weapon attack speed and give you a chance to stun)Īnother skill I picked (not really necessary but it's somewhat useful sometimes) is Spider Mines (Construction). While Vitality will give you more HP and give you an armor bonus, not quite sure if the block chance increase effects 2H engineers but hey, it's there if it does. Strength will increase the amount of damage from your weapon and from your critical strikes. To start off, I reccommend spliting your stat points, for these first levels, between Strength and Vitality. When you can get a weapon such as this trash will melt insanely fast and bosses will too as the amount of DPS you pump out with the over time effect is incredible.The primary focus of this build is to create an all around Engineer, meaning you'll be able to do significant amounts of damage, take plenty of hits and be able to maintain your health and mana without spamming potions.

Tremor, although unlisted, applies on hit weapon effects to every target hit. Now, in order to really clear rooms out and melt bosses the most important stat on your weapon is physical damage over x seconds. With stacked health per sec and Forcefield I find literally reason for Charge Reconstitution as regen is fine without it and Forcefield absorbs a very nice chunk of damage (around 20k right now iirc). On the rare chance Forcefield breaks (usually only breaks on the Level 105 Rock Trolls, Unique Werevoles, and Spectral Dragon) having 451hp/sec combined with healbot gives you extreme health regen and it’s hard to notice it go down sometimes. The great thing about this build is you don’t really need reduced damage taken as you’re incredibly tanky without it. You need to stack resistances, health, block, and health per second. Vitality is self explanatory and Focus buffs Shield Bash damage for whatever reason, making it great for spamming due to very low mana cost. Dex was left at base and Strength is at 100 in order to wear gear early on. I only really die when I’m just being stupid or when the Spectral Dragon likes to camp the teleporter pad.Īll the skills should be pretty self explanatory.įor stats I prioritize Focus and Vitality. Playing Veteran (nb4 elitists) and able to easily solo Level 105 maps at Level 70. Torchlight 2 Engineer Tank Build Guide by Lootįigured I’d share my Tank build.
