Torchlight 2 - Engineer Guide

i was dead-set on an Outlander (i played the Vanquisher in the first Torchlight) but the Engineer bots look really cool :P

Playing a Cannoneer atm <3

I do find it kind of odd that the Construction skills have a passive under it which gives you full charges...especially when only one of the active skills even uses charges under it.

Cannonades build charge more slowly than melee weapons which is why it's there.

This is just my opinion after 20 hours of game play but no matter what spec you play focus is never a dump stat.

It doesn't seem to charge slowly at all and even then the one skill that does use it isn't that spectacular.

I am burdened with choosing between engineer and berserker. I played the engineer class until level 17 at first but I did put the wrong skills and stats so I decided to use berserker, but he really is not my style. Thanks for the guide mate. Really cleared things up. Defense is the best offense. I'm going back to tanking.

You don't really need focus as a construction Engineer, because your Healing Robot will give you powerful mana boosts frequently when it's maxed out.

Remake the video after youve played the class or else its almost all subjective i think this and that and not absolute info that is true and that can be seen from other peoples comments like the other guy mentioning not needing focus on construction, completely true. im lvl 31 still got 5 focus

Great guide! I like your video's

engineer, its just better at melee overall, healing bot+def bubble+shield bash+flaming hammer=better then anything the zerk can do

can you respec skill points (str dex etc) it seems kind of nessesary for this class if u want to try different specs

And gun bots, and the passive under construction that gives more armor.

Currently playing as STR+VIT+DEX heavy blitz type engineer. Dat feel when you do an AoE critical damage with stun possibilities.

<3 i subbed you with your guides i can better look forward which character i should pick im getting that game this week :DDDD

Nice video. Forcefield is so awesome It's almost a must have, especially on elite difficulty.

Yeah I do, if he sounded like me.

Not to diss TotalBiscuit, but I greatly prefer this British Gentleman's channel.

I love the engineer, not only can he wear the best armor but he can also summon.

i feel like the engineer is also the palidin.

so, to boost up damage, just invest in strength stats?

He sounds nothing like TB >_>

I think he means he sound British XD Dat generalization

Same accent. TB's voice is far deeper and louder.

tanky heimerdinger?

Sorry to tell you man but this is not a guide, you are basically just telling us whats written on the screen. Thanks but i can read myself... ):

I've been using an aegis focused engineer, and I find that the blitz skills are actually quite useful. While blitz is meant for two-handed melee weapons, most of the skills in the blitz tree work just fine with one-handed weapons.

misleading title was expecting a GUIDe not an overview

I liked the concept of flame hammering enemies into oblivion, then got to my first Elite mob (On Elite mode), and found myself nearly dying after only taking a couple of hits. Had to gulp down potions like water just to survive the encounter, and those things are expensive.. I guess you're supposed to use a lot of potions, but I always felt like using potions is cheating. I know it's not, but it feels cheap..A good gamer, should never take a hit.

So is melee better then cannon, then? For dealing out damage? How is one supposed to play a melee type vs boss encounters? Or rather, how is one supposed to play melee at low levels vs boss encounters? That's one thing build lists don't tell you: Survivability before you get all those nifty, life extending skills vs bosses and elites.

Don't insult him like that.

newbie.. wakaaa!

I have been playing as a Blitz engineer (primarily) and haven't had much trouble so far. Just put lots of points into both vitality and strength (for attack and defense/hp). I generally just wail away with a greatsword and a couple blitz skills while always having my healing bot from the construction path activated. The healing bot is amazing even at lower levels.

Thank you for the guide man ;)

Im subscribing to you man

thanks i didnt know all that before

Great video, only thing i didn't like is that you called blitz a 2 handed tree. Even though its got a passive increasing 2H damage, almost all (if not all, im too lazy to check) of the active skills in it can be used with either a 2H or a 1H. Other than that, great job :)

you EARNED this subscription bro

Great video man :) just bought the game and cant wait to play endless hours on it :D thanks for the video!!!  ::Subscribed::

Your voice reminds me of Gareth from the Office UK :)

Goon bot.

10/10

"guide"

bro thats such a crappy guide, you've only explained whats already written in spell/skill description..and u are in big mistake if u think that blitz dont need Focus attribute...every class of engineer needs 2str 1focus 2vitality, every single level..maybe every 5. level, put one in dex instead of focus..i dont know if u even played engineer before explaining all this...try playing without spending 1 on focus every level(no mana, no bonus dmg from unique weps)

what am i doing here

wtf sty lol , you did torchlight vids? XD
cool man !

Hmm ilike sledge bot

what a bad review you fuking forget to explain the passive skills in blitz skill tree thumbs down

You obviously dont play the game. You have numerous misinformation on this guide while acting like you know what you're talking about whilst you're skimming through the descriptions.

2023 is on its brink. Torchlight 2 is still a great game to come back to. A Masterpiece game.
