Torchlight 2 Essential Mods
Torchlight 2 is a vibrant and colorful loot-driven action-RPG that serves as an excellent alternative to Diablo 3. A colorful, more vibrant alternative that offers to the same exciting action, compelling and oh-so-sweet loot drops, and the engaging and varied character classes and progression.
For the gamers who want to do Modding in the games, like you can use 150 mods at once in Fallout and Skyrim, Torchlight is different ball game in itself. You can only use 10 Mods at a time. That’s why we shared the mod-packs for Torchlight 2 rather than mods in those packs.
Most of these mods are available on the Steam workshop.

Best Torchlight 2 Mods You Can’t Play Without
1. Synergies Mod
The most comprehensive overhaul mod for Torchlight 2. Synergies is the largest, most ambitious modding project ever undertaken for the action-RPG. It adds new classes, new dungeons, a huge number of new bosses, as well as re-balancing the difficulty of the game to make it more challenging and more unforgiving. Essential modding.

2. Clear Minimap
A nice and simple mod that makes the minimap borderless to avoid clutter and make the UI cleaner. A very nice little mod that improves the minimap in a smart way. After all, every game should have a good minimap, right?

3. Better Sorting
Better Sorting aims to improve and streamline the automatic sorting of weapons, gear, and gems. It will automatically sort your weapons and gear by rarity, and your gems by rarity and type. It can’t auto-sort by level, unfortunately. Still, a nice little mod that makes loot easier to manage.

4. WoW Style Paladin
World of Warcraft sure does have a cool Paladin class. What if you could play it in a loot game, like Torchlight 2? Well, now you can, thanks to dedicated and very specific mod. It does exactly what you’d expect, it adds a new class that is intended to be exactly the same as the Paladin class in World of Warcraft. Happy shield throwing!

I say, dear chaps and dames! Have you found yourself perplexed by the intricacies of delivering steampunk justice to the curs and filth of the monster hordes in Torchlight 2? Well, as luck would have it, you need look no further than this build guide to increase your brigand demolition quotient by fourfold! Have at it!
Just as any great machine runs best on high-quality fuel, our Engineer build guide is assembled to be used in conjunction with our Torchlight 2 Class Guide , which will be updated with new builds as they are come off of our assembly line.
A note on respecs
By default, Torchlight 2 only allows you to respec your last three skill points (at a steep cost). Thus, you may already be so far in that these builds are impossible to use. Luckily, if you want the freedom to redistribute all of your skill points at any time, the game supports it. You'll just have to download a simple mod...
- Make sure your cross-character stash is empty, as this process will overwrite it. This can be easily accomplished by creating a new character, and moving everything from the shared stash into their personal stash.
- Download the file here , and extract it to DocumentsMy GamesRunic GamesTorchlight 2save[Long string of letters and numbers]. When it asks to replace the existing file, say yes.
- Your shared character stash will now be filled with Respec Potions. Quaff away to refund all spent skill points. This also has the benefit of letting you choose your starting attack skill on a new character, instead of having to use the default one.
- Unlike the similar method that uses console commands, this will not flag your character as a cheater in multiplayer.
Got it? Good.
All of the following builds have been tested on Veteran difficulty.
Engineer Build: The Gentleman With The Large, Flaming Object
A proper gentleman need be well-educated, practice good dental hygiene, and always be prepared to set large numbers of ruffians screaming through the air in flames with a nice whack from his trusty tools of mayhem. This build will make you a master of the melee, the foremost at fisticuffs; turning iron jaws to glass with the power of smoke and steam.
Gear Choice
Great weapons are essential, you need not tarry with diminutive odds and ends. Greataxes, greathammers, greatswords, and polearms will all serve your purposes nicely. Bonus fire damage, bonus electric damage, and armor penetration are always fine choices.
Stat Points
Having your wits about you will carry you just so far - you also need to be strong of arm to handle the kind of hardware this build requires. Two points per level, and often more, should go into Strength. Do not neglect Vitality, either, as you will more often than not be right in the thick of things, being attacked from all sides. Focus is important as well, to keep your machines of destruction running on pure, high-grade mana. And throw Dexterity a point now and then, just so it doesn't feel left out.
Levels 1-25
The key skills that make up this well-oiled demolition engine are Flame Hammer and Ember Hammer (Blitz tree). The former is your raw damage stand-by, while the latter will clear away those pesky shields right quick. Remember to use Ember Hammer only when your charge is high and the need is immediate, as it does not build charge. Passives like Heavy Lifting and Supercharge (Blitz), as well as Fire and Spark (Construction), also demand attention, increasing your pain output with large, unwieldy objects and giving you more charge to kick those damage skills into overdrive.
Once Onslaught (Blitz) unlocks at 21, add it to your priority list as it provides excellent battlefield mobility, a must for any front-line fighter in Torchlight 2.
Levels 26-50
Ember Reach (Blitz) should join your arsenal as a way to lock down those pesky ne'er do wells that have the audacity to turn and flee from an honorable duel. Storm Burst (Blitz) can give you a differently-flavored movement skill, but I find it too redundant to use at the same time as Onslaught , so grab a respec potion if you want to try it out and pick one or the other. Dynamo Field and Overload (Aegis) make a devastating combo with Onslaught , but will require you to neglect your passives to get them up to speed.
Levels 51-100
You should now be able to start maxing your passives, or the Onslaught/Dynamo Field/Overload combo, depending on what you let fall behind in the earlier levels. You can start funneling some points into Coup de Grace (Blitz), and if you find yourself dying a lot, some survivability skills like Charge Domination and Bulwark (Construction), or Aegis of Fate (Aegis). Emberquake (Blitz) is always tempting, of course, and layers well with your other AoE attacks as it does not consume charge. Just be sure you have the mana to support it. Tremor (Aegis) is also a less all-or-nothing alternative to Overload , but I would not recommend taking both.
