The Best Build.

[Siberys]

You should go for Warfare and Dream then. And if you do a few searches around this titan quest area, you'll find a few builds for that sort of combination.

Hi guys,
I plan to start a spell caster build and I was wondering if this kind of character rocks in the epic mode and if yes an advise could be useful

[dyniamit]

Hi,

I'm playing TQ for about two weeks and i'm trying to choose the best character for me. Actually i made an assasin: TitanCalc by stonedonkey - A Titan Quest Calculator - Assassin, please give me an advice, maybe it needs to be rebuild?

Thanks

A few comments:

-firstly, an assassin needs quite good gear to stay alive, so you will have to do lots of runs, trade, or make a more gear-independent character (spellcaster) as an itemfinder. But with some patience, some luck and some shopping you could do just fine.

-what you're missing is an attack skill to program on your left mouse button to replace standard attack. Most (if not all) assassins use Onslaught; I'd suggest maxing onslaught, ignore pain and ardor, but leaving hamstring alone.

-poison damage is useful in normal, but becomes useless in epic and legendary. Hang on to Nightshade and Mandrake for the crowd control, but place only one point in Envenom Weapon and none in Toxin Distillation (at the end of, or after, Normal that is)

-flurry of knives is an excellent skill to spread mandrake and nightshade with, but throwing knive itself is rather useless. I'd suggest placing only one point in it, as a prereq to flurry.

-drop open wound and anatomy completely. Bleeding damage sounds nice, but is near useless; you don't want enemies to live that long anyway

-one point in War Wind is enough, and I'd ingore lacerate completely

-flash power is not required, but it can be a life saver, especially for an untwinked build

long story short, here's what I would do:

Great thanks! I'll try some of your tips.

I'm a fan of the Storm/Nature build. Storm mastery has some very potent spells. I tend to use maxed out ice shards most of the time

I mainly use the nature mastery for healing and a few other minor things. Since I've only just beaten the game on normal difficult, I haven't really explored nature's full capacity.

Battlemage (earth,warfare) is pretty awesome too. But kinda hard to raise dps. Im level 26 and doing 185dps. Here's what i have TitanCalc by stonedonkey - A Titan Quest Calculator - Battlemage If u guys have any tips on how I can raise my dps then please post!!! Im currently not duel wielding and using an Ichtian Whomper (club)

[Erathia]

If you aren't gonna dual wield at the moment (smart choice btw) then i would suggest using those skill points on Onslaught. Need to finish maxing that out as soon as possible.

[PheonixFire]

i leveled up and maxed up onslaught like u said. Thnx for the advice

Earth enchantment + duel weilding to "Fire Damage Modified weapons"
Try looking for a A Green sword with the words burning, flaming, or brimstone in the title. After that add attack speed modifiers and enchant the weapon with essence, embodiment, or incarnation of Prometheus Flame. A nice ring at low levels is Brimstone if you can find it. When you max out the earth enchantment you can get over 100% fire damage, another 9% from brimstone, plus whatever your weapon does, and whammo you're doing over 700 dps. Brutal combination, I was thinking of making a second character with the combination you're using.

NiKo - Level 63 Conjurer, 11,386 Damage per sec. Legendary, Final Act
"Where did the Hero Monster Go?"

Earth and defence work well in combination, but then i had about 7 epics and i'm not up to asia yet. After all fire always rocks. On normal mode so i'm only lvl 20 atm about to do Tomb of Ramses.

heey,

to everyone who wants a high DPS Charachter, and easy kills,
this may be the soloution,
ive had many charachters, all of witch are over 40+ and have always wanted a high DPS,
Storm and Rouge May Be The Soloution,
ive had my Scourcer (Storm, Rouge) for 2 days, now, and hes allready level 41,

i get Unbelievebly high Damage Bonuses From Rouge, I.E.

"Calculated Strike", by level 8 i think it is, im getting +221% Damage, With 159 Piercing Damage, (thats pretty useful at a low level,) Every Fourth Hit, (Use As Left Click Atack)

"Blade Honing", +88% Piercing, and 31 pierce damage,

"Lethal Strike", (My Favourite) at the moment, for me im getting +575% Damage, and +450% Peirce Damage, EVERY HIT, and i can still upgrade,
(Use As Left Click Atack)


And From Storm,

"Ice Shard", If You upgrade this, and "Velocity, & Torrent" You Can get Rapid, and Medium'ish damage, wich slows enemy, can come in useful against titan,

"Lightning Bolt", 239-486 Lightning Damage, Not Bad Huh? (Also Upgrade "Chain Lightning") 217-324Lightning Damage

"Storm Surge" This Can Come In Very Usefull, 145Cold Damage, + 123-197 Lightning Damage, (Automaticly Activated)


With many more skills, and high damage Passive Add On's

I Highly Recomend The Combination Of ROUGE & STORM

I Hope This Proves UseFull,

My favorite class in Titan Quest is defence, i loved the usage of the shields in this game. So as soon as i got my hands on the expansion, i started a templar. But i have been confused about the right gear, point to allocate in dream mastery and the artifacts. Can you give me some advise on these subjects?
Thanks for your help already.

Don't know whether anyone has tried this build yet:

Dream/Spirit (but using Distortion skills as primary attacks)

Max Distortion Wave and skills that are connected.
Max Distortion ripple (I think) and skill that is connected.
Max Sleep skill
Max Trance (aura) that gives you Energy regen and health regen.

Now with the Spirit side add points until you get to Outsider.
Max Outsider.
Then work your way through the DeathChill Aura tree.

Points to note and what I currently have:

Have Distortion ripple on left button and Distortion Wave on right button.

Distortion wave (and its associeted skills) are important to max early on.
You will find that pretty much this skill alone will be a very large factor in getting you through Normal difficulty and very very easily I might add.

Just either sleep them all then line them up like tenpins and wave them or just line them up and wave them. Typhon was slightly trickier but still not too difficult just stay on your feet run around and wave him when you get the chance. He will eventually fall over.

Now Epic is a little bit trickier but not much trickier (provided by this time you have some good elemental res and piercing res). Still this time you will have Distortion ripple in your arsenal so either sleep a group run into the middle - ripple the bunch (which will kill most things with one burst and freeze them until they fall over dead) if there are some that you can spot that don't look like they will die from that one ripple hit them with a wave (shoot them a few times with your normal attack if need be while they are stunned) - if still not dead then sleep them and ripple them again.

So far I am in Hades in Epic and dealling with everything quite easily.

Few Important tips:

Sleep will not work on unique or sub unique monsters so be wary that you will have to run in relatively near them and ripple them (which stuns them).
However Sleep has next to no recharge time so you can put as many normal monsters to sleep as you want almost.

Try and get recharge items and damage reduction items and energy regen items.

Recharge is key so you can wave relatively quickly and if you get enough recharge reduction you can sleep and ripple an entire group and your ripple may have recharged fully back up again before they come out of their sleep/stunned state so you can ripple them again.

Damage Reduction is important because you will be "in amongst it" so to speak, so be prepared to be hit by the occasional monster that does not get hit by either your ripple attack or sleep attack.

Energy regen so your Distortion attacks can be repeated indefinately with almost an ever supply of energy. Aim for about 35+ regen per second.

If you ripple a bunch of melee attackers look to the outside of the ripple field to hit the range attackers with a wave or 2 so you don't get peppered or if the range is in a bunch sleep them.

The Outsider is used as cannon fodder or a Meat Shield against Uniques however you still need to not be afraid and get in there mix it up also. Ripple does a surprising amount of damage with the Psionic electrical burn wearing down the life reasonably quickly on monsters.

Hope this rough scribble of tips is of use.

Have to admit I am having fun with it.

Also let me know if you have any further ideas that you have tried within the build.

@Vidar, dude, I just started a Diviner.

Small world. Small world indeed.
