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. 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.Įmber 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. 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. Remember to use Ember Hammer only when your charge is high and the need is immediate, as it does not build charge. The former is your raw damage stand-by, while the latter will clear away those pesky shields right quick. The key skills that make up this well-oiled demolition engine are Flame Hammer and Ember Hammer (Blitz tree). And throw Dexterity a point now and then, just so it doesn't feel left out. Focus is important as well, to keep your machines of destruction running on pure, high-grade mana. Do not neglect Vitality, either, as you will more often than not be right in the thick of things, being attacked from all sides. Two points per level, and often more, should go into Strength. 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.
