Okay, going off from my experience as a dual-wielding melee character from both this AND Torchlight 1...
...Put an occasional point into Focus/Magic. Seriously. It sucks hardcore later on when magic enemies are massacring you and you don't have enough Focus to use any of the good magic-based armor due to its requirements.

Find the savegame folder (Documents\My Games\Runic Games\Torchlight 2\save) and edit the settings.txt. Find the line with CONSOLE :0 and change that to 1. Then when in-game, you can open the console with Insert-key and type 'resetskills' to reset your skills.

That's a tough question to answer. Which rogue are you talking about?

Yeah, I mean in which game. Depending on the game, Thief and Rogue mean different things. Are you looking for someone that crits constantly and vanishes, or someone that steals?
(not that it matters. Either way, no. The closest thing is the berserker, who is a critting machine)

Ah too bad. Thanks anyway.

Why does the symbol for your third skill tree look like a slice of cake? Is that the cake tree?
Tis a shield guvna.
Okay, so. Strength gives a bonus to weapon damage, but this won't impact the damage one does as an Embermage, since spells are tied to DPS of your weapon...right?
Edit: Okay, so my understanding is that Strength WILL benefit weapons that do physical damage, while Focus will pump wands and staves, since they only do elemental damage. Interesting...

It's cake. I refuse to believe it's anything else.
My sword and board engineer so far:
Going to keep Overload at level 1 for now, and max Seismic slam and Coup de Grace first.
Shield bash really isn't all that great, IMO. I almost think I would have been better off with something else. Sword and board is a bit underwhelming as well, considering how low armor values on shields are. Hopefully it pays off in the end.
It's a nice to get through mobs, but Onslaught or Storm Burst would have probably been better alternatives.

Yup. And here's the kicker: it procs Coup de Grace if your enemies are stunned. So max that Coup de Grace. Max Seismic Slam. Follow up with Overload.
Seriously. Grab Coup de Grace. Get Fire and Spark later. Damage should be insane.
edit: coup de grace does proc...but it may only be procing on one enemy during the Overload. Not too sure. I still say it's worth picking up, though, especially since you're 2H with high chance of stun.
The cake can be dishonest.
I have a 60% chance to crit on my Outlander.
I'd really recommend the Aegis of Fate passive as its an incredibly strong skill. Paired with healing bot its a little too good
Looks good to me. You'll want to pick up either Aegis of Fate or Forcefield. Since you're going Bulwark, I'd recommend Aegis of Fate since it synergizes nicely with it. Make sure you don't neglect Physical Armor on your gear...it's a very important stat. Also, I recommend grabbing a level of Overcharge. You're going to want a charge spender so that's probably your best pick, and it will help a lot for when you get surrounded. You'll probably want Onslaught as well...nice initiating and escape skill.
And it goes without saying, but you will need potions. If you're playing on Veteran, a potion every now and then should be alright. If you're playing on Elite, you pretty much need to spam them nonstop.
Anyone know if there are patch notes? Just curious to what they changed.
EDIT: Found it
Thanks.

Is there any way to completely respec? I regret putting a single point into flame hammer.
Also, healbot de-spawning when entering a new area is super annoying.

A legit way to completely respec? No.
There's a tendency for some items to look like a shopping list. 2% to this, 3% to that, 5% to something else x 10. It's not overwhelming to me, but I think they could have reigned it in a little. However, there's not too many of those. Most uniques don't go overboard.
I would rather it be like that however, than have the sparseness of D3's loot, which just left me feeling like my character was a scrub. I guess in D3, when you do get a good item, there's great satisfaction in it. However, those long bouts of looting and coming up with jack shit just wasn't any fun. I feel genuinely rewarded for my time playing TL2.
I think I still prefer PoE however. That's on hold until act 3 goes in, but TL2 has been tremendous fun so far.

New game+ so you go through from the start again, the mobs are scaled up in difficulty to take you through to 100, loot is scaled up, I think there's a few surprises and you can buy maps to access dungeons with bosses at the end. And of course, you'll be hunting for 'Legendary' tier items.
I'm wondering if they'll patch in a new game++ option at some point.
Yes, that and newgame plus.
New games starts off with monsters being level 51 in the first area.
Are you sure there isnt?
The main issue with D3's loot is that upgrades end up being minor statistical bonuses. PoE and Torchlight 2 pieces can have a much larger impact on your game. Stats like stun, knockback, + % to element...these modifiers can actually dictate how you play the game.
I'm not, to be honest. Fair point.

Playing a ranged Engineer on Elite with three players, put all my stats on strenght and using a Cannon. Killing everything easy with the piercing shot, some bosses are a little trouble but so far its a bit to easy even on hardest. We are only on Act 2 so far so the difficulty might ramp up (i hope).

Will I get a reward for finishing with a hardcore character? I'm hopeful. And would I be better off in coop? I've been playing single player.

Nice, just found a vendor that installs sockets.
And not a fan of the way MP handles quests; if both players have different quests, it doesn't default to the hosts quests, so there are times where you can't TP to each other.
edit - ugh, hit escape, thought it'd pause, vendor disappeared.

If a player opens a tp, the other can travel there. That said, I think it's tied to story progress. Not sure though.
Yeah we tried to tp to each other and use waypoints, it wasn't available.
Omg its a huge fist. ROFL. Have fun fisting your enemies!Got this 1-hand claw from my friend, it has ridiculously high damage compared to my regular claw :

Today's patch fixed the Burning Pillars + Frost Phase bug. That was my favorite thing to abuse.
On the plus side, it seems like the game is running smoother.
Also, what does "proc" mean?
