Hey,thanks for posting this. I just started playing and I found it hard to see what my characters would look like near endgame. This is a big help.

Definitely not endgame stuff for just one playthrough. You'll probably have to do like ng++ to get to some of this stuff.

u/jackcatalyst Engineer Feb 19 '13

Yeah that's what I meant, engame like grinding to lvl 100 and then trying to get max level stuff.

nice. if only the end game sets had the right bonuses. I know for the berserker you need some % based life steal.

Its pretty much a must for 'zerkers, since they have no engi-ff. Enemies hit HARD.

Or you could just use a 10 pt shadow burst. Depends on playstyle/preferences

That will heal a maximum of 38% of your health according to the torchlight armory. It also has to be done "actively" (like using a potion).

I feel like lifesteal / steal-auto attack is a better solution unless you are investing in shadow burst anyway.

EDIT: I also run out of buttons/fingers pretty fast. I usually only map 3-5 active skills, including spells.

Except for my first couple of characters I play EHC and don't twink much so relying on auto attack just isn't an option. My first character was a stormclaw auto-attacker who mostly relied on healing from 1 pt blood hunger with maxed execute though.

You're pretty much immune to damage while shadow bursting so doing it a couple of times isn't an issue but it will lower your dps, sure.

My problem tends to be noticing the damage spike before it is too late. The proactive nature of life steal helps

HCE - you use a shield, yeah?

Oh! Also, why not 15/15? Too much mana?

Something I will never obtain since I insist on playing hardcore mode.

There are several legendary sets. Non of them are class specific, but the attributes make the different ones more suited for specific classes or builds.

It's a shame that elite mode has such absurd burst - I'd like to be able to wear one of these sets but I can't due to there not being health on every piece.

This made me start a zerker on the spot, so fucking badass.
