Invest in the following skills: Magma Spear, Charge Mastery, Frost Fate, Frost Phase, Astral Ally, Prismatic Bolt.Other good armor sets will simply provide good defense and speed up mana/health recovery as well as reflecting missiles.Do NOT exchange for higher level sets, unless they allow for ranged attacking with CRIT bonuses or slowing/immobilizing effects like Stun or Freeze.Have a minimum 4 set pieces for +4% CRIT. Invest in specifically Exorcist set armor (when possible).(Your CRIT will still be very high due to DEX stat investments)
TORCHLIGHT 2 WIKI GENERAL GRELL HOW TO
Refer to the above link on how to reroll maps. There are many fishing holes in Rotting Crypt and Sundred Battlefield. You need your pet to meet faster enemies in battle.
Look for a Giant Largemouth bass or Warbeast, and feed it to your pet. Your pet can also slow down enemies with Web and Frost spells to let YOU land most of the hits, or run away while restoring health. Your pet can earn Critical Hits toward acheivements. While I would like to think claw weapons are inherently found with CRIT enchantments, pistol builds are better for avoiding death in the squishier variations (ranged builds).Consider one ranged weapon and one shield late-game & beyond. You will be too busy critting or dying to heal yourself. You will find yourself being mobbed often, so find & equip spells that influence your speed, teleportation, health recovery and armor. Make sure none of those pieces are a helmet and equip the Warlock hat for a DEX bonus! Get 4 set pieces of Exorcist armor for =4% CRIT chance. Purple (rare) or orange (unique or legendary) weapons can sometimes increase your CRIT chance by up to 7%, not to mention certain Chaos gems you can socket for more CRIT chances (up to 6% each!). Just wear gear that directly increases your CRIT chance, because THAT will allow you to go beyond 50.1% CRIT chance (the max you would get from max Dexterity, and making your other stats useless. At that point, STOP wearing armor that increases your dexterity. STOP investing in DEX when your white-labelled CRIT and Dodge bonuses from stat points reaches 35% or about 235 DEX points. Increase unneeded stats AS NEEDED only if you DON'T dual-wield Cobblestone Swords. All other stat points go to DEX (until CRIT = 35%) and Vitality (stat up to 100 pts). Refer to the Point Chart included for further stat investment. Be sure to equip appropriate tomes and defensive buffs. DO expect close combat!!! However, you need to keep your distance! You need to build your physical weapon set as well as your mana abilities. Be sure to have passive defense even if you get good gear Be careful when you send your pet to town!īy now you should realize how important defense is to the CritMage. Relies on pet and minion damage absorption and spell-casting. Fast enemies will kill you (remedied with Frost Phase skill and other options.). Depends on how many points you choose to set aside for Focus stats)
Once you're a CritMage, you may have unbalanced your Stats too much to change builds (ex. Also, not recommended for a Tarroch's Tomb run. 100) or Hardcore (permadeath) characters. Not recommended for more than 2 playthroughs (fighting monsters over Lv. Constant $ funding into new equipment (not enough money left for good weapons) up to around Lv.
