You guys are lucky as hell - I've only had like 4 unique drops so far and they aren't even for an Embermage >_<
I just beat the
boss... am I done with Act 1?

Works great with a cannon. They all have a base stun chance of 35%, then add the bonuses from Heavy Lifting and enemies will be stunned constantly.
You get a lot more in Act 2

Btw is it just me, or is Elite difficulty missing Shrines? I have seen dozens of them already on a Veteran Outlander, but exactly 0 on my Embermage (elite). Bullshit.

Does using the console to respec your skill points mark you character as being modified?
Is it true that modified characters are kept separate from regular ones in multiplayer?

This is how I have mine speced out so far: Slow and steady, but more actives are sooooon

Mostly the same here, though I haven't put any points into forcefield yet. Not sure if I want to or not, since I think I'll be going for Fire Bash, which is another Charge spender.
Also, I recommend a single point in Ember Hammer. Being able to destroy shields instantly is well worth the point, IMO.

This game is everything I wanted Diablo 3 to be.

So, I started as a Berserker, and was finding it very boring early on (as well as kind of difficult). I started over two hours later as an Embermage on Veteran and Hardcore. Made it to level 32 before dying. Was my fault though, because I was going on auto pilot. The Embermage is also VERY BORING, because almost all of the skills completely suck. Prismatic Bolt beats literally everything else for the mana, so it's not worth getting anything beyond that other than passives and temporary buffs. At least until level 32 anyway.
People are so infatuated with it right now it seems because it's new, they got burnt really badly on Diablo 3, it has more "exciting" gear (but a lot more trash as well) and more choice. The problem is when said choice doesn't amount to much. At least not what I've seen of it so far. The skills are just not exciting. Maybe I'll find better luck with another class.

Pretty much the same but I put less points in Supercharge (just discovered it
) but I have 5 in Overload and 1 in Tremor.It's more offensive, and the tremor debuff makes quite a difference (even more now when supercharge procs)
Can you still block with your shield while you have Forcefield up?
I'm also wondering if Coup de Grace is worth it for sword & shield, since you can reliably stun enemies with shield bash.
Yeah...I think I'll do that.
My planned build:
Active:
15/15 Healing Bot
15/15 Shield Bash
15/15 Fire Bash
15/15 Tremor
1/15 Ember Hammer
Passive:
15/15 Supercharge
15/15 Coup de Grace
15/15 Bullwark
15/15 Fire and Spark
15/15 Sword and Board
15/15 Aegis of Fate

huh, I just learned a valuable lesson about cloud saves in this game. when steam says there's a conflict, and you've only been playing singleplayer, make sure you push your local changes rather than grabbing the ones from the cloud. just lost a pair of unique pants and a level because I stupidly assumed my local files might have been corrupted.

Here is where I'm at:
No need for supercharge because I'm relying on bots so much. I found some nice items and passive spells to boost their damage, so they're dominating. I also realized I can drop a bunch of spider mines ahead of time. They come out 3 at a time but I think they stack to 9 or 12. I'm also putting into Coup de Grace because I can use the foot stomp to stun a bunch of people at once and then the electricity comes down through the whole swing to hit like 5 people. Having electricity on my two-hander already stuns people pretty often so it's a nice setup even without the stomp.
Now what's REALLY ridiculous is that I've got my pet summoning a wall of skeleton archers now. The enemies will treat them like new enemies, so there are distractions everywhere to make sure I can move wherever I need to for good lineups with Flame Hammer. And if it's too scattered? Spider Mines and Gun Bot do great cleanup work. That's all really important, too, because bosses have taken to teleporting and using whirlwinds to keep me at a distance. I still want to get my pet at least one more summon if there is one.
My character looks a bit more coordinated and dignified now:
I'm going to eventually get the sledgebot but I'm not sure about the last one, it really depends on how high level play is going for me. If I have to run away too much, I'll use Charge Reconstitution, but I think my defense and healing should be holding up. I'll have a maxed healing bot and my pet can cast healing spells, too. Plus I got Storm Burst specifically so I can escape when I'm swarmed, and it works well.

before I forget, anyone using an nvidia card who wants to use SGSSAA, or other forms of high-quality anti-aliasing, the compatibility flag for Torchlight 2 is:
0x20000245
I'm using 4xSGSSAA right now, and like the built-in AA it still disables itself when you activate a menu panel, but when it's on it looks incredible.

Forcefield is just silly with all the defense and dodge I am stacking (I am also doing 2 Vit, 1 Dex 2 Str with some levels all Vit). I think Aegis stacks as well to reduce the damage the FF takes.
A 5 point forcefield will last the entire duration on the act bosses with no sweat. The only time I saw it drop was when I walked into a spot with 5 champions and hordes of magic guys.
I'm playing on Elite, so it would probably be more important here...but I feel like I'm still geared defensively enough that I shouldn't need it.
I'd suggest to go Forcefield + Charge Reconstitution if you don't have any charge spenders, though. Since I have Fire Bash, Aegis seems like a better pick.

My Level 29 Berserker:
I read somewhere that Coup de Grace only procs on melee stuns, so none of the AOE stun stuff will work.
It would proc on melee hits. The description says "when you hit a stunned target". It shouldn't care what skill caused the stun. You just need to follow up the stun with a melee attack.

Stupid deceptive phase portal.
I go in and the mission is "Defeat the Troll". Sounds easy right?
Not when there's fire shooting out of what felt like every square inch of the map. Each little hole you see that is surrounded by some stone spouted fire every 2-3 seconds. Trying to kite the boss and every other small enemy while dodging the fire geysers at the same time was ridiculous. Just two or three hits from them could kill me, and they succeeded a few times.

Yeah, it works with Seismic Slam.
Anyone try Fire Bash yet? It's the only skill I'm unsure about in my build since I haven't seen it yet. Just seems like it must be worth picking up since I'm using a shield and Fire and Spark.
Not too sure about stat distribution either. I hear there are diminishing returns on all stats so it's not going to be obvious.

Anyone else receiving blue screens in this game?
I have never received a blue screen with this video card in other games I have played. Team Fortress 2, Guild Wars 2, Borderlands 2, Tera, Skyrim, etc.

Wait, there is nomway to mportmto higher difficulty levels? If so, that is very stupid.
You can. When you make a new online game you can set difficulty.

Dunno if it's been mentioned yet, but in the game's main directory there is a music folder with 76 songs in .ogg format. The Steam version also has the ost in the main TL2 folder as well.
