FYI if you put Batter on the skillbar and keep the hotkey pressed down while fighting with Onslaught on left mouse button held down as well, the game will automatically use Batter whenever it's off cooldown and use Onslaught when it's not.
Titan quest and grim dawn are great games, but this is pure autism. Builds, minmaxing, grinding drops, replaying the game 3 times with the same exact character just to see the bigger number is beyond my understanding.
Great video mate. Really well done.....one thing no one ever talks about though, is how to skill to get through normal difficulty the fastest. If you could do a video on that or include it as part of the build video it would be amazing. Currently lvl 10 and sad at myself for putting all my skill points into the defence tree so I can get pulverise early lol. To anyone reading this, don’t make my mistake lol
Update: patience paying off, got pulverise and colossus at lvl 12, shield charge and one shield passive at 13, other shield passive, weapon training, battle rage and onslaught by lvl 15, gonna max weapon training and onslaught then move on, currently I’m on my way down easy street, just shredding through mobs and bosses now at lvl 16
@@rabbitrockbush3627 I have a little bit of the information you're asking for on my website - The first 10 levels for a Conqueror are quite difficult because neither Defense nor Warfare are very good for leveling. However, I would argue Warfare is slightly better than Defense so focus moreso on that. It'll get easier when you get into your 20s and have more Skill Points
@@AlmarWinfield that is great advice. I went defence first this time because I remember when I got colossus and pulverise at like lvl 30 last time, Everything just got so much easier! Wanted to see what it would be like to rush them....... it’s pretty great now, but that early grind was far more painful than I expected, like have to get 30 lesser healing potions and 10 mins to kill the cyclops and about 20 potions and 5 mins for some hero monsters hahaha
Thanks for the video! You've shared a good tip about swords, but what about shields? Maybe there are few outstanding options to try and farm? It would be very helpful if you can tell
Dunno if it still helps you, but to anyone else looking for an answer: - farm Nessus (Centaur hero in "Spartan War Camp", Act 1) for the "Outrider's Buckler", this will last you until... - farm Tropical Arachnids (regular monsters in Act 3) for the "Exotic Carapace" Repeat on higher difficulty levels. Both shields are green, meaning that they can (randomly) roll with each and every affix that regular shields can roll too, plus you can socket them with relics/charms. "Rigid Carapace" and "Turtle Shell" are good socket materials. Especially "Exotic Carapace" can be better than, or equally good as, most uniques in terms of defense.
Lol they were dieing cuz of life leech from Deimos mate, just try that shield on spirit with death chill aura with full necrosis, you will be amazed, and really like your TQ videos
it's hard to cram every last thing into the video, these 2 weapons are pretty common knowledge on why they're good, a quick google search will give plenty of info. Basically fast attack speed and high damage with good base stats on the items.
@@AlmarWinfield Np, the video is great overall. Many thanks for your prompt reply. The reason I ask is because I found the first one (from the tigers on normal difficulty) and tried switching it with both my current weapons (dual wielder, with both weaps also from normal) but for both my DPS was reduced. The stats on your weap look good and possibly Titan Quest isn't calculating the DPS properly but my other weaps seem at least as good. I can give your suggested weap a try and see how it plays, though if you know any detail about why my calculated DPS might be decreasing with it, that would be appreciated (I assume attack speed is factored into the game's DPS calculation).
@@_anon464 I am not sure if the calculated DPS is accurate truthfully. I can recommend you a youtuber by the name of Clex Plays though who talks about these weapons in many of his videos and he breaks down the math of how damage works in titan quest etc. His Advanced Damage Dealing Guide will probably answer the questions you have better than I can.
2 years late to this but I just wanna add in anyway. Sabertooth and Einherjar's Fate are the best barring certain legendaries. Even better than most epic items (blue rarity) that you can get. Their edge over epics and some legendaries lies in the fact that they can be imbued with charms to improve their stats to your liking and they have higher drop rates too. Legendaries are very difficult to farm and they tend to have so many additional effects that may not even be beneficial to your class (e.g. +elemental damage or +redundant resistances) so if you really account for the useful bonuses only, you may be better off with Einherjar imbued with a COMPLETED valor of achilles or hercules might. Of course this depends on your character's needs so if you get lucky with a legendary then by all means equip them.
Hey Almar, great guide. Just one question. Was looking at Einherjar's Fate on TQ Database and it seems it can only be acquired if you have the Ragnarok DLC (Green R in the corner). Is there a good alternative to that weapon as I don't own any DLC. Cheers.
Hello! Just getting started into Titan Quest and was wondering if you ever do levelling guides in terms of skill points. I'm just wondering if there is a "best" order I should be putting my points into my masteries.
hey just discovered this channel, is this titan quest classic or was it titan quest plus expansions?, i would like to know how much disk the game took in the time.
I dont/cant do leveling guides because that information is 100% subjective. It comes down to what you like and want out of your character. For example, maybe you are lucky with armor drops and you want more damage. Or maybe you got really solid weps and want more survivability. There is no "best route" for this sort of stuff.
@@AlmarWinfield thank you sir! Then can I ask a question about how much points you put into health? By like level 65, usually how many times would you increase health? I feel like dex and str I understand for this build, but it would be nice to get your standard for health.
@@somato2688 I dont remember dumping a lot of skill points into health, but I tend to build my characters more tanky than squishy. So I would focus on defensive skils and armor moreso than armor that increases my damage. Skill Points are irreversible without mods though so i put them into DPS oriented things that help me do more damage. Talent Points can be refunded and reorganized at will basically so they are easier to play around with
Can you show your skill point distribution without your gear on? So I can see exactly your skill point distribution?...Becouse with your gear on I get confused lol
Our skill point distribution wouldn't be exactly the same anyway since we're using different gear. The way I spend stats on builds in Titan Quest isn't a set in stone system. I typically just dump points into stats when I need to wear a piece of gear then once I am wearing my endgame set I dump all the points into whatever my main damage stat is. Usually I always keep 15-20 Stat Points banked at all times too incase a piece of gear drops that I need
Hi Almar. I really enjoy your guides (written or video), they helped me learn a lot. But i am curious why you re focusing so much on Sabertooth and Einjahrs Fate? I found quite a few weapons that are better. I am using a Dagger of Dawn in with conqueror and my dps is insane (with buffs around 12k, greatest damage ever dealt 31k)
Because Sabertooth from original game and Einjahrs Fate is from Ragnarok Dlc.Both easy to get.Not every body have all dlc or want to warm to get new Op( like youre dagger)weapon
you mean the main attack? Yea I know some people prefer that but I don't feel comfortable always hitting right click for the main attack, holding shift is easier for me personally
@@AlmarWinfield Yeah, Onslaught or how it's called in english. I can't understand why it's easier to press left + shift instead of just right click, but if it works for you everything is fine. With shift + left click you may slash into the air while with right click you move until you hit an enemy. If there is no one, you move farward until there is an enemy in range. Sooo much better.
Didn't even know that you can do that with shift , i use dual wield , and clicking yourself i feel is better that way, to always choose the best position to hit multiple enemies. You have good vids on Titan quest.
