I still play this wonderful game to this day and have followed your builds since you started. Thanks for the help throughout the process of understanding each class and how different classes benefit each other.
Matthew Ashworth , привет. Ты сказал, что существенных изменений в Anniversary edition нет. Я бы посоветовал всё - таки пересмотреть это твоё убеждение, потому как перебалансировали ооочень много всего, включая корневую механику. Ловкость теперь даёт не только defense/ofense ability, ещё увеличивает урон от кровотечения/яда/проникающий урон. Кучу бесполезных абилок усилили и с ними появляются новые билды. Вообще, рекомендую чекнуть список изменений. Кто знает, может ты вдохновишься сделать новый билд :) Спасибо за внимание
Hehe, spasibo. Ya imel vvidu content, to chto urovni i ostalnoye vse odno i toje, a tak znayu chto mnogo rebalansirovali. Eto xorosho chto oni usilili mnogie iz slabix abilities.
I love how people describe Natures Plague skill as just a "debuff" and then, when they see you get 3/4 of Typhons HP in a matter of seconds in multiplayer, they go like "wtf, how did you do that?" :D So lemme educate you a bit - Plague is one of the strongest bosskilling spells in the whole game, not just a "debuff" :D
HE IS BACK!! Mattew+Titan Quest=Amazing Combination :D I love your videos....you really need to play Anniversary Edition....you will see a lot of new things like...new bosses,faster game speed,better graphics,maybe a couple new items etc.... :)
I am quite amazed about how you just keep helping your fans, Like i dont know for sure, but i have asked you tons of questions, and you keep helping and responding. dont you ever get tired of responding to your fans and helping your fans? Do you get a lot of questions? i dont mean to sound: "OH MY GAWD I AM UR NUMBR 1 FAN" but I do really apreciate you help out your fans so much.
Thanks man, I appreciate the kind words. Well, I don't mind it too much. I get maybe a handful of questions per week, which is ok. I can find the time to reply at this rate. If I would be getting 100s of questions a day, it'd be a lot harder. Haha.
There were a few times when I didn't notice someone's message for months and it felt pretty embarrassing. I probably have missed some messages over all these years.
Great that a youtuber Helps out his fans, because of the titan quest community being so small, even with the Titan Quest AE release, it i great that people in the community are helping each other out
Yeah, that's true. Are the Titan Quest forums still active? I know that site was down at one point, but it was a pretty helpful community back when I was actively getting into TQ. I learned a lot of things about the game on there. :)
I think every time i try to enter the forums i get a warning its a dangerous site, or it says there is a server error or something. but im happy that you had the forums when it was still around. Btw i started a post on titan quest reddit to tell people they should check out your channel. your welcome
Yes. I've heard about it yesterday. I'm going to get it sometime in the next few days and hoping to make some videos. Perhaps one video to talk about the new skills additions and then also a let's play of the new content.
I dont know if some of u have played the anniversary version there seems to have new color item like 'beige' and light green welp For what I saw GOOD to see you again btw ! :)
Thanks. :) I'd say there isn't a specific best spot for that, so the best bet would be to farm bosses, mainly end of act bosses, such as the telkines, Typhon, and Hades, and also the secret bosses - Talos, Manticore, Hydra, Dragon Liche.
If you're going for swords or spears, then yeah, as Dex raises piercing damage. A bit less useful for axes and clubs, though some Dex is still useful there too because of its effect on offensive and defensive ability stats. :)
Since you seem to keep answering doubts, I will ask you. So, I tried first the Elementalist build and I hated it, it was very fun but also very frustrating (low health points lead to dying a lot). Then I tried the Conqueror build, it was not frustrating but it got extremely boring and repetitive because I could only smash and smash and nothing else. It got so boring that I stopped playing, and this was a lot of years ago. A few days ago I finally put my hands on the Anniversary Edition with the new expansions, and I was thinking on either continue with the Conqueror or maybe start with something new. So, considering my point of view, which one do you think would fit me better? I have seen that the Ranger seems good, buy I'm not really feeling like shotting things from afar nor casting nature spells. Maybe another kind of spells and another kind of fighting? I have been thinking on the Dreamkiller, but I really don't want to screw up again. What do you think? Thanks.
i absolutely love hp regen in this game, i run vines on all builds no matter what, also passives and charms. u can go to like 200+ hp regen and it goes just better from there, also ring of fire/dream dmg aura are awesome if heavily upgraded u just run and everything dies around u dps wise i usually play rogue/hunting with sick bleeding/poison
Yep, those are all good build ideas. Auramancers are pretty viable in this game. Usually any combination of Ring of Fire (Earth), Trance of Wrath (Dream), or Deathchill Aura (Spirit) can create a powerful offensive aura. HP regen builds are good too, but they require most or every piece of gear to contribute to the overall bonus, since on legendary, enemies can deal a lot of damage. Another good build is the build that revolves around '% damage converted to health'. If you're dual wielding, you can socket Legendary Anubis' wrath on each weapon, and combine it with Trance of Empathy, and other gear bonuses, you can get nice healing going from the damage you deal. :D
i kinda have most problems with bowmen majals on hades, even 80% piercing res doesnt work, also I have no idea how armor actually works, aside from that i had trouble with beetle boss on legendary, it was very high poison dot, like thousands, i know very high hp regen can negate it but i didnt have full build then. overall i have more trouble with defence then offence also i dont really know what damage every monster does like those impact waves from cyclops idk what dmg type that is
Yeah, the machai archers can be dangerous. It helps to lure them in a few at a time and to stop them from escaping in some way, like by stunning or slowing them. For beetle boss, it's just best to have a good poison resistance. Health regen won't outheal it fast enough, though if you recognize his attack animations, you can avoid his poison spits in good time. He usually brings his head back a bit and charges the attack for a couple of seconds before he spits, and when he spits, he shoots about 4 projectiles, so just make sure all 4 don't hit you. If only 1 hits you, you should be ok. But just keep going around him when he starts charging the attack and he'll miss. Cyclops shout attack if I remember correctly deals % health reduction, which is negated with vitality resistance (unless that's been changed in Anniversary Edition, so might be worth double checking).
I myself tend to play a more tanky damage dealer character in most games. Which class do you suggest me to play ? Warden, Templar, Conqueror(is it still op, since it got nerfed in the aniversary edition, as i heard) ?
All 3 of them are very powerful classes, good at both damage and tanking. Conqueror might be a little boring due to it having less active skills than the other two classes. But all 3 are pretty great. I found Templar and Warden pretty fun personally.
Good to have you back man...because of you i started playing this game in past...still play it today...installed it some time ago....currently playing Lilith mod of the game and downloading Frozen World mod to check it out.....did you played that mods?are you maybe interested in doing of series of that modes or even underlord mods?i know that a lotta people will be watchiung if you do....certainly i will
Hiya. Unfortunately I haven't tried those. I've heard of the Lilith mod ages ago but didn't get round to properly trying it. I've not heard of the Frozen World mod. Does that have a new questline like Lilith?
really cant tell,mate,sorry,downloaded that mode but i think is broken i cannot even move in game.........you should try lilith....very big maps i tell you....only lacks that you when talk with someone to give you a quest you cannot hear them,just see the text,its only thing that is not good.....im talking about really big areas mate like ferrovipathe.free.fr/Lilith/carte.htm?c=020 asteria beach or asteria cliffs..here are the maps....im currently there in the game...by the way i think that onslougt is the most OP skill in a game you agree?
Wow nice, that's pretty huge. As for the most OP skill, that can be up to a lot of debate and depends on what criteria you're using. Onslaught is a very useful tree indeed.
true.....i first played as a lets say spellcaster.....i used my pets which did most of a dirty work...Core Dweller and Lich King....but after that i played almost every time with warfare class adding every time some other class....onsaought did me a ton of work and you can dual wield ..that's cool...and with warfare the best pair for me was nature and earth.....you did play with storm and defense...seems like a good match....i'm staring my next time with masteries that i didn't really play with a lot....rogue and dream....did you ever play any mods that change your masteries like Asylum Mod,Destinies,Legion of Champions,or the Paths?you should check out Paths ...from my point of view best masteries mod.....in titan quest forums i saw the way how to make your own masteries and inject them to game...lot of work but ill be starting when ill get enough time...do you have any reccomendations maybe?Which type of masteries you maybe wished original game had?i'm askjing you this as a game veteran :D:)
So for a Summoner class it would be a good idee to max out "Brimstone" ? Just for the bonus dmg dealth by the pets ( Core Dweler , x3 Wolfs and the Nymph ) all of them have mostly PD
It would help to clarify: The pets always show when they re within proximity of effects... Heart of Oak and Earth Enchantment Have a "sphere of influence" which is another way of saying "radius" Pets cannot get Storm Nimbus, nor envenom themselves or blade honing (the wolves could use it-their teeth,alas!) It just helps to remember this, especially when that radius is compromised... If you have a summoner and 5 pets, but want to lob Volcanic orbs behind a Briar Ward, thats fine. But when the Heart Of Oak AND Earth Enchantment icons disappear, you re too far removed. Its a small but crucial consideration, especially since a summoner success is reliant on these for hp and pet damage
Its like you ve cast plague-on yourself!! -10 speed off the top -whatever elemental resistance from Permanence of stone -whatever fire damage output, plus -whatever burn damage in addition Especially when those trees got a few levels in them. A properly built Summoner has a vicious army
Most classes can be considered as 'most powerful' or 'best', because a lot of it depends on playstyle and also gear. With the right gear, almost any class can become OP. Then it also depends on what you consider as best, like is it the DPS aspect, the tanking, the AoE capabilities, etc? In general, safe classes to go for which you're likely to turn into powerful heroes would be: 1) Well-balanced Powerhouses: Conqueror (War + Def), Templar (Def + Dream), Warden (Hunt + Def) 2) Melee DPSers: Harbinger (War + Dream), Spellbreaker (War + Spirit), Slayer (War + Hunt) 3) Archer DPSers: Haruspex (Hunt + Dream), Brigand (Hunt + Rog), Ranger (Hunt + Nat). I think other classes, mages and hybrids in particular, would be a bit harder to build. With mages, it's because most of them are glass cannons and can't tank well, so you'll have to either heavily rely on pets, or do a lot of kiting (running away as enemies get close to you). With hybrids, it's because you have to split your attributes between all 3 Str, Int, and Dex.
From my own experience I can say, that while pretty much any 2 masteries could work together, it is true that some combos stand out by far. For me it's probably warfare + defense (for a great offense/defense combo with a lot of buffs), warfare + dreams (in this instance you would go for dual wield and basically become one of the hardest hitting nukers in the game), hunting for either a bow or a spear specialist... the other mastery for hunting is up for you to decide, for me it's usually rogue for more piercing damage and additional bleed and posion damage, or dream for higher speed, AoE and overall buffs. Mage combos I can't really tell, since I have never really played one myself. If you are going for a more tanky approach tho, i reccomend picking defense as your first and later decide what would be your second... I personally would go either for nature (shorter cooldowns, healing, extra health), dreams (buffs, damage absorption, reflecting, evasion ratio) or earth (bunker spells, tank pet).
True, but again, it depends on the player. You can make many of the combinations into something amazing. Just depends how you set up your skills and what gear you're using.
Matthew Ashworth I was just trying to provide some sugestions for a beginner there, but yeah I agree with you and I have to say that the variety of builds is probably the best part of the game for me :)
What's your opinion about the anniversary edition game changes? I feel like this is quite a huge buff to bleeding dmg builds, since a lot of bleeding dmg based skills were buffed. Also Onslaught was significantly debuffed. Would like to know your point of view.
I've not tried out the new edition yet, but I've heard that many of the weaker skills got buffed, which is a good thing, since some skills were next to useless before. I didn't know they debuffed Onslaught though. That's sad to hear.
I'm a level 42 conquer on epic orient and the second to last teleported spot.I can't seem to deal damage and survive at the same time.Bosses shed me to fast for me to do damage any tips?
Heya. Level 42 seems a little low for epic orient. Usually my characters are in late 40s by the time they get to that stage. So it might be a matter of levelling up a bit. Though I am guessing since you don't have Immortal Throne, it would mean your character would generally be lower levelled. What are your stats? DPS, OA, DA, resistances? Also, if you're wearing any old armour pieces, I would advise you to replace them with something more recent. Every armour piece should have a consistent amount of armour points (enemies have a 40% chance to target your torso, and 20% each on head, arms, and legs). On a related note, I would highly recommend Immortal Throne. It adds a lot to the game, and the extra act is really fun.
Yeah, that's what I meant. I used Google to find any calculators, and I did find that one you use. but the home page doesn't look like it, so I didn't think that was it. That's when I decided to ask here...lol But since you redirected me there, I figured out I needed to click on the builds to access the pages you've shown in your vid. Thanks man, this really helps! Keep up the good work! Kind regards, Mech
You are most welcome. It's a good site and very useful both for linking builds to other people and also for checking to see if you'll have enough skill points to attain your desired build. :)
Heya. Sorry for a late reply. UA-cam didn't notify me of new messages ever since it updated its format. Yeah, shield and spear is a good setup. Hunting mastery is good for using spears, plus one of the fight or supporting masteries. So Hunting + Warfare, or Defence, or Rogue, or Dream, or Spirit would be the best combinations for shield and spear.
Hmm. Not sure if I can pick one as most builds would depend on the gear for this. Generally Conqueror, Haruspex, Templar, Warden would be among the most OP.
The same as in using the same set of skills? I would imagine it would mostly be the same, though I haven't delved too deeply into the changes they've made to individual skills.
No sir.... Yes the re split, 4 and 4 On the left is physical On the right is magical Dream is obviously in the middle And the str/int ratio along with the mastery itself, make it the perfect support, hence "Dream" Now you look at the left: Warfare-melee emphasis Hunting-ranged emphasis Defense-shield emphasis... Rogue is the negative aspect of these On the right, You can see: Storm is basically offense Fire is ranged Nature is defense Here, Spirit is the negative Just sayin... I don't view them this way when considering a character, but if I were to "Overview" to help whittle what I m looking for, this comes to mind
Playing through the game with every class on Vanilla (No Dream) so far I have done Battlemage, Paladin, and Brigand, what classes do you recommend for my next couple of playthroughs?
What playstyle do you prefer the most? Melee tank, melee DPS, archer, mage, petmancer, etc? I do recommend to get Immortal Throne too. Dream mastery is really fun and adds quite a lot.
Yeah, I want to do a let's play of the new expansion act. I am thinking when the DLC drops in price a bit. I might start a new character and get them up to the point in the game when the new act starts, then do a series.
Can you do a build guide for the iOS version? It doesn't seem to have the dream mastery. I really wanna build a dual wield warfare that can destroy crowds of enemies fast. So far I have a warfare main and defense for survivability. I stopped playing my hunter + nature character because it gets destroyed by even lone enemies easily on epic mode after the Great Wall.
I am not really familiar with the iOS version of the game, so I don't think I'd be able to offer any knowledge. Though if you're looking for a good crowd-control dual-wield class, you could try a Spellbreaker (Warfare + Spirit). I have individual build videos for each class, so you can check one for Spellbreaker if you're interested. For a defence class, might I suggest a Warden (Defence + Hunting). It's a really solid class. Enemies in the second half of Act 3 are pretty hard indeed. Dragonians and Tigermen are both very dangerous types of enemies even on the PC version. They require a more cautious and tactical approach, like luring a few of them at a time rather than jumping straight into a pack. And when those dark blue Tigermen leaders place a battle standard, then make sure you leave the area of their standard, or else it will keep them buffed and much more dangerous than normal.
+Matthew Ashworth Thanks for responding. I actually expected it to be easier to handle crowds of enemies in act 3 in epic mode since they were pretty easy in normal mode, and my character is much stronger now. That actually discouraged me from playing my hunter, i kept dying to these really fast mobs that always hang out in packs (I forget what they're called but they look like mantises) and lost a bunch of exp. but now that I know it's supposed to be that hard, I'll be more careful. So thanks for that. I mostly like passive abilities, so I don't know if the spirit mastery will be of any use to me. I really don't know why the rogue mastery doesn't have any passives, it would be a much more useful mastery. Anyways thanks for the answer bro, I'll check out your video on the warfare + spirit mastery.
Depending on what kind of loot you're looking for. Generally, end of act bosses are good farming locations for good gear, so all 3 Telkines, Typhon, and Hades. The secret bosses are also good (Talos, Manticore, Dragon Liche, Hydra).
Strength 528 dexterity 291 intelligence 50 average damage 331 dos 444 health 3457 energy 672 resistance30 for fire negative 2 for frost -2 for lightning -13 for poison 12 for bleed secondary all -25 my weapon is the onager offense ability 498 defensive ability 365
Where are you at in the game right now? The only thing that stands out a bit is I would've expected your DPS to be higher, considering most of your other stats are pretty high.
Yes, that combination works well. Well, any combination can be made to work in this game. Earth and Storm class has a lot of spells at their command, and a couple of pets too.
@@caesar_casella If you want to go for the most pets, then perhaps Nature + Spirit might be the best combination to go for. Nature has wolves (you can summon up to 3 if you have enough points in that skill) and a nymph. Spirit has a liche king and the outsider (a temporary pet).
The first frustrating thing about the game for me is that defender does not have a left click skill. It means I hardly pick defender. If I do go with defender, my only options are rogue, warrior or dream. Picking a melee character without a left click skill feels weaker than one that does. The second is that you can only pick 2 classes and not 3 like many other games. The third is it won't let me undo mastery points so I can pick another class. Restarting gets old. Finally, inventory management when you have many characters is very inefficient. Other than those things, it's a good game that I come back to now and then to enjoy.
Heya. Yeah, I agree about the lack of LMB skill in Defence. I sometimes put Batter on there, but it's not quite the same, since that skill wasn't designed for such use. Wouldn't having 3 classes just end up making the builds too complex? Why would you want to switch masteries later in the game? Is it because the concept and aesthetic of said mastery doesn't appeal to you or because you find the combination of masteries you picked to be weak? If it's the latter, you can always make any build to be effective. If you just reclaim skill points from the skills and re-arrange them, you can get every build to be useful really. For inventory management, it might be good to check out TQVault (gives infinite storage space). I am not sure if they've updated it to work with Anniversary Edition, but the older version of TQ works fine with it. Just remember not to have TQVault and the game open at the same time as it can cause data loss for some of your characters.
Matthew Ashworth Thanks for responding! I've watched all your build videos many times. In another game for example called minions of mirth, you can pick 3, it's not too complicated at all. In titan I might go for defender for strong defense, spirit to get a pet and some buffs and rogue or hunter for stronger offense. I kind of like to have those things - offense, defense, buffs and pets. It's hard to get all 4 with just 2 classes, but I make do with two. I like to try many different combinations of classes, so each time I have a different way i want to play, I have to start over. I'm enjoying a corsair now, with the emphasis on traps. I've done about 10 different combinations in the last week. I am beginning to wonder if that guy at the start wants his horse to be eaten by the monsters, but I save his horse anyway. "you saved my horse, my horse you saved! you saved the day, hooray hooray!" I had heard of the the vault, but I really don't like going to 3rd party programs. In grim dawn, I resorted to using save files. I had a file for each type of item. Still, that takes time to go through the files, copy and paste, etc.
Ah ok. Yeah, I understand. Some masteries in TQ can cover multiple roles certainly. Dream for example is a very versatile mastery. And Defence can offer both a good offence and a good defence. Good to hear you're enjoying the Corsair though. Traps can be turned into some very useful pets with all their upgrades.
By the way, you should try Paths mod (for Anniversary edition)! It's great! Started playing it two days ago and it's great! It's on steam workshop and if you don't know how to play it after you already got it, click Play Custom Quest :) Playing a combination of Poseidon and Venefici and I have 6 auras on lvl 19 :D
There are at least 3 more i've looked at :) (mastery "update") Also, the Paths mod modifies bosses (not sure about monsters, but bosses for sure), I was killing the Scarabeus for like 35 minutes and on other bosses I spend less than a minute.
I'm also stuck on the demon bull. If you have any tips or advice to kill him. He's just a bitch. Btw nice videos I didn't see you posting any so I got worried lol.
Demon Bull mostly deals in fire damage and also bleeding. On normal difficulty you only need fire resistance against that area attack he does. The bleeding attack is weak on normal, but it becomes lethal on epic and legendary. It's the one when he starts dancing around crazily. Since bleeding resistance is hard to find, you can simply try to avoid that attack. Just run around him and wait for him to perform it. After he finishes it, go in and attack him for a few seconds, then pull back again.
I am fairly sure it's possible, though I've not tried it myself. When I used to visit Titan Quest forums a lot, I vaguely remember some people on there were attempting this and getting quite far into the game. I think it might be more tedious than hard most of the time, because you'd have no skills and will just be hack and slashing, and you'll likely also be spending a lot of time farming for good gear.
please let me download your own oob, i want play direct lvl 75 max lvl max mastery please share your obb link and app in google drive tell me if u agree then thanks alot for sharing your obb i no need spend my time, i love this game but mastery so hardd please share obb 1.3G+ please thank You!
I still play this wonderful game to this day and have followed your builds since you started. Thanks for the help throughout the process of understanding each class and how different classes benefit each other.
You're welcome and thanks for the support. :)

New expansion to Titan Quest with lots of quality of life improvements! Atlantis.

I dont know if some of u have played the anniversary version there seems to have new color item like 'beige' and light green welp For what I saw GOOD to see you again btw ! :)
Nice videos , very helpful ..I just wana ask a question where should i farm for epic and legendary bows?
Thanks. :)
I'd say there isn't a specific best spot for that, so the best bet would be to farm bosses, mainly end of act bosses, such as the telkines, Typhon, and Hades, and also the secret bosses - Talos, Manticore, Hydra, Dragon Liche.
Thnks man.
@@brainyc4353 Any time. :)
I hear Dexterity is the most important stat if you are going to use melee?
If you're going for swords or spears, then yeah, as Dex raises piercing damage. A bit less useful for axes and clubs, though some Dex is still useful there too because of its effect on offensive and defensive ability stats. :)
Since you seem to keep answering doubts, I will ask you. So, I tried first the Elementalist build and I hated it, it was very fun but also very frustrating (low health points lead to dying a lot).

i absolutely love hp regen in this game, i run vines on all builds no matter what, also passives and charms. u can go to like 200+ hp regen and it goes just better from there, also ring of fire/dream dmg aura are awesome if heavily upgraded u just run and everything dies around u

For beetle boss, it's just best to have a good poison resistance. Health regen won't outheal it fast enough, though if you recognize his attack animations, you can avoid his poison spits in good time.

Cyclops shout attack if I remember correctly deals % health reduction, which is negated with vitality resistance (unless that's been changed in Anniversary Edition, so might be worth double checking).
RomanowRomanow Aleksiej Templar made regen gone crazy to the point that your hp won't decrease anymore
I myself tend to play a more tanky damage dealer character in most games. Which class do you suggest me to play ? Warden, Templar, Conqueror(is it still op, since it got nerfed in the aniversary edition, as i heard) ?
All 3 of them are very powerful classes, good at both damage and tanking. Conqueror might be a little boring due to it having less active skills than the other two classes. But all 3 are pretty great. I found Templar and Warden pretty fun personally.
Good to have you back man...because of you i started playing this game in past...still play it today...installed it some time ago....currently playing Lilith mod of the game and downloading Frozen World mod to check it out.....did you played that mods?are you maybe interested in doing of series of that modes or even underlord mods?i know that a lotta people will be watchiung if you do....certainly i will
Hiya. Unfortunately I haven't tried those. I've heard of the Lilith mod ages ago but didn't get round to properly trying it. I've not heard of the Frozen World mod. Does that have a new questline like Lilith?
really cant tell,mate,sorry,downloaded that mode but i think is broken i cannot even move in game.........you should try lilith....very big maps i tell you....only lacks that you when talk with someone to give you a quest you cannot hear them,just see the text,its only thing that is not good.....im talking about really big areas mate like ferrovipathe.free.fr/Lilith/carte.htm?c=020 asteria beach or asteria cliffs..here are the maps....im currently there in the game...by the way i think that onslougt is the most OP skill in a game you agree?
Wow nice, that's pretty huge. As for the most OP skill, that can be up to a lot of debate and depends on what criteria you're using. Onslaught is a very useful tree indeed.
true.....i first played as a lets say spellcaster.....i used my pets which did most of a dirty work...Core Dweller and Lich King....but after that i played almost every time with warfare class adding every time some other class....onsaought did me a ton of work and you can dual wield ..that's cool...and with warfare the best pair for me was nature and earth.....you did play with storm and defense...seems like a good match....i'm staring my next time with masteries that i didn't really play with a lot....rogue and dream....did you ever play any mods that change your masteries like Asylum Mod,Destinies,Legion of Champions,or the Paths?you should check out Paths ...from my point of view best masteries mod.....in titan quest forums i saw the way how to make your own masteries and inject them to game...lot of work but ill be starting when ill get enough time...do you have any reccomendations maybe?Which type of masteries you maybe wished original game had?i'm askjing you this as a game veteran :D:)
So Matthew,if my pets are in the area of effect of "Earth Enchantment" skill they will also benefit from the "Brimstone" or "Stone Skin" too ?
Yeah, I am pretty sure the upgrades apply to them too, and any other allies in your vicinity (like other players).
So for a Summoner class it would be a good idee to max out "Brimstone" ? Just for the bonus dmg dealth by the pets ( Core Dweler , x3 Wolfs and the Nymph ) all of them have mostly PD
Yeah. They should all benefit from that.
It would help to clarify:
The pets always show when they re within proximity of effects...
Heart of Oak and Earth Enchantment
Have a "sphere of influence" which is another way of saying "radius"
Pets cannot get Storm Nimbus, nor envenom themselves or blade honing (the wolves could use it-their teeth,alas!)
It just helps to remember this, especially when that radius is compromised...
If you have a summoner and 5 pets, but want to lob Volcanic orbs behind a Briar Ward, thats fine. But when the Heart Of Oak AND Earth Enchantment icons disappear, you re too far removed. Its a small but crucial consideration, especially since a summoner success is reliant on these for hp and pet damage
Its like you ve cast plague-on yourself!!
-10 speed off the top
-whatever elemental resistance from
Permanence of stone
-whatever fire damage output, plus
-whatever burn damage in addition
Especially when those trees got a few levels in them. A properly built
Summoner has a vicious army
You gave an overview but are there combinations that are standouts that are the most powerful or most reliable or just the best?
Most classes can be considered as 'most powerful' or 'best', because a lot of it depends on playstyle and also gear. With the right gear, almost any class can become OP. Then it also depends on what you consider as best, like is it the DPS aspect, the tanking, the AoE capabilities, etc?
In general, safe classes to go for which you're likely to turn into powerful heroes would be:
1) Well-balanced Powerhouses: Conqueror (War + Def), Templar (Def + Dream), Warden (Hunt + Def)
2) Melee DPSers: Harbinger (War + Dream), Spellbreaker (War + Spirit), Slayer (War + Hunt)
3) Archer DPSers: Haruspex (Hunt + Dream), Brigand (Hunt + Rog), Ranger (Hunt + Nat).
I think other classes, mages and hybrids in particular, would be a bit harder to build. With mages, it's because most of them are glass cannons and can't tank well, so you'll have to either heavily rely on pets, or do a lot of kiting (running away as enemies get close to you). With hybrids, it's because you have to split your attributes between all 3 Str, Int, and Dex.
Thanks
From my own experience I can say, that while pretty much any 2 masteries could work together, it is true that some combos stand out by far. For me it's probably warfare + defense (for a great offense/defense combo with a lot of buffs), warfare + dreams (in this instance you would go for dual wield and basically become one of the hardest hitting nukers in the game), hunting for either a bow or a spear specialist... the other mastery for hunting is up for you to decide, for me it's usually rogue for more piercing damage and additional bleed and posion damage, or dream for higher speed, AoE and overall buffs. Mage combos I can't really tell, since I have never really played one myself. If you are going for a more tanky approach tho, i reccomend picking defense as your first and later decide what would be your second... I personally would go either for nature (shorter cooldowns, healing, extra health), dreams (buffs, damage absorption, reflecting, evasion ratio) or earth (bunker spells, tank pet).
True, but again, it depends on the player. You can make many of the combinations into something amazing. Just depends how you set up your skills and what gear you're using.
Matthew Ashworth I was just trying to provide some sugestions for a beginner there, but yeah I agree with you and I have to say that the variety of builds is probably the best part of the game for me :)
What's your opinion about the anniversary edition game changes? I feel like this is quite a huge buff to bleeding dmg builds, since a lot of bleeding dmg based skills were buffed. Also Onslaught was significantly debuffed. Would like to know your point of view.
I've not tried out the new edition yet, but I've heard that many of the weaker skills got buffed, which is a good thing, since some skills were next to useless before. I didn't know they debuffed Onslaught though. That's sad to hear.
I'm a level 42 conquer on epic orient and the second to last teleported spot.I can't seem to deal damage and survive at the same time.Bosses shed me to fast for me to do damage any tips?
Heya. Level 42 seems a little low for epic orient. Usually my characters are in late 40s by the time they get to that stage. So it might be a matter of levelling up a bit. Though I am guessing since you don't have Immortal Throne, it would mean your character would generally be lower levelled. What are your stats? DPS, OA, DA, resistances? Also, if you're wearing any old armour pieces, I would advise you to replace them with something more recent. Every armour piece should have a consistent amount of armour points (enemies have a 40% chance to target your torso, and 20% each on head, arms, and legs).
On a related note, I would highly recommend Immortal Throne. It adds a lot to the game, and the extra act is really fun.
4:06 what program do you use here?
You mean for showing TQ skills? That's done on www.titancalc.com.
:)
Yeah, that's what I meant. I used Google to find any calculators, and I did find that one you use. but the home page doesn't look like it, so I didn't think that was it. That's when I decided to ask here...lol
But since you redirected me there, I figured out I needed to click on the builds to access the pages you've shown in your vid.
Thanks man, this really helps!
Keep up the good work!
Kind regards,
Mech
You are most welcome. It's a good site and very useful both for linking builds to other people and also for checking to see if you'll have enough skill points to attain your desired build. :)
can u play with shield and spear like spartans? what classes i should choose?
Heya. Sorry for a late reply. UA-cam didn't notify me of new messages ever since it updated its format.
Yeah, shield and spear is a good setup. Hunting mastery is good for using spears, plus one of the fight or supporting masteries. So Hunting + Warfare, or Defence, or Rogue, or Dream, or Spirit would be the best combinations for shield and spear.
Matthew Ashworth thanks, btw what is most op build in your opinion?
Hmm. Not sure if I can pick one as most builds would depend on the gear for this. Generally Conqueror, Haruspex, Templar, Warden would be among the most OP.
Are the orbs moving or am I just too high
Haha. I don't remember making them move, so pretty sure they're still. :D
@Craig Hah. It's probably an optical illusion. XD
One question: with the anniversary edition soea int functions your past builds or had changed someone?
I didn't understand the question. Could you explain?
Sorry, can we use the same builds in this version of the game?
The same as in using the same set of skills? I would imagine it would mostly be the same, though I haven't delved too deeply into the changes they've made to individual skills.
No sir....
Yes the re split, 4 and 4
On the left is physical
On the right is magical
Dream is obviously in the middle
And the str/int ratio along with the mastery itself, make it the perfect support, hence "Dream"
Now you look at the left:
Warfare-melee emphasis
Hunting-ranged emphasis
Defense-shield emphasis...
Rogue is the negative aspect of these
On the right,
You can see:
Storm is basically offense
Fire is ranged
Nature is defense
Here, Spirit is the negative
Just sayin...
I don't view them this way when considering a character, but if I were to
"Overview" to help whittle what I m looking for, this comes to mind
So how about the runemaster what type of class is it ? and how to combo it
I'll have to probably talk about it when I do the LP of the new expansion. :)
Playing through the game with every class on Vanilla (No Dream) so far I have done Battlemage, Paladin, and Brigand, what classes do you recommend for my next couple of playthroughs?
What playstyle do you prefer the most? Melee tank, melee DPS, archer, mage, petmancer, etc? I do recommend to get Immortal Throne too. Dream mastery is really fun and adds quite a lot.
Are you going to start the TQ playthrough again since the DLC came out?
Yeah, I want to do a let's play of the new expansion act. I am thinking when the DLC drops in price a bit. I might start a new character and get them up to the point in the game when the new act starts, then do a series.
Can you do a build guide for the iOS version? It doesn't seem to have the dream mastery. I really wanna build a dual wield warfare that can destroy crowds of enemies fast. So far I have a warfare main and defense for survivability. I stopped playing my hunter + nature character because it gets destroyed by even lone enemies easily on epic mode after the Great Wall.
I am not really familiar with the iOS version of the game, so I don't think I'd be able to offer any knowledge. Though if you're looking for a good crowd-control dual-wield class, you could try a Spellbreaker (Warfare + Spirit). I have individual build videos for each class, so you can check one for Spellbreaker if you're interested. For a defence class, might I suggest a Warden (Defence + Hunting). It's a really solid class.
Enemies in the second half of Act 3 are pretty hard indeed. Dragonians and Tigermen are both very dangerous types of enemies even on the PC version. They require a more cautious and tactical approach, like luring a few of them at a time rather than jumping straight into a pack. And when those dark blue Tigermen leaders place a battle standard, then make sure you leave the area of their standard, or else it will keep them buffed and much more dangerous than normal.
+Matthew Ashworth Thanks for responding. I actually expected it to be easier to handle crowds of enemies in act 3 in epic mode since they were pretty easy in normal mode, and my character is much stronger now. That actually discouraged me from playing my hunter, i kept dying to these really fast mobs that always hang out in packs (I forget what they're called but they look like mantises) and lost a bunch of exp. but now that I know it's supposed to be that hard, I'll be more careful. So thanks for that.
I mostly like passive abilities, so I don't know if the spirit mastery will be of any use to me. I really don't know why the rogue mastery doesn't have any passives, it would be a much more useful mastery. Anyways thanks for the answer bro, I'll check out your video on the warfare + spirit mastery.
Where do I buy immortal thrones or anniversary also which is better?
Steam might be the best place for this. :)
more please dude , would love a lets play
Welcome Back! :)
Also when do you start to find purples?
As early as Act 1 Epic. :)
what about rune mastery?
Does this mean multiplayer in TQ is back to normal? (provided one buys the new edition)
From what I've heard - yeah.
You do know that in the time since you released this video, that there are two new masteries.
Yeah, I've done many other videos afterwards on the newer content. :)
Good farming spots for loot and Xperia?
Depending on what kind of loot you're looking for. Generally, end of act bosses are good farming locations for good gear, so all 3 Telkines, Typhon, and Hades. The secret bosses are also good (Talos, Manticore, Dragon Liche, Hydra).
Strength 528 dexterity 291 intelligence 50 average damage 331 dos 444 health 3457 energy 672 resistance30 for fire negative 2 for frost -2 for lightning -13 for poison 12 for bleed secondary all -25 my weapon is the onager offense ability 498 defensive ability 365
Where are you at in the game right now? The only thing that stands out a bit is I would've expected your DPS to be higher, considering most of your other stats are pretty high.
can I do earth + storm? :D
Yes, that combination works well. Well, any combination can be made to work in this game. Earth and Storm class has a lot of spells at their command, and a couple of pets too.
@@MatthewAshworth wat are the top 2 atributes with the most pets?
@@caesar_casella If you want to go for the most pets, then perhaps Nature + Spirit might be the best combination to go for. Nature has wolves (you can summon up to 3 if you have enough points in that skill) and a nymph. Spirit has a liche king and the outsider (a temporary pet).
very helpful thx
You are welcome!
The first frustrating thing about the game for me is that defender does not have a left click skill. It means I hardly pick defender. If I do go with defender, my only options are rogue, warrior or dream. Picking a melee character without a left click skill feels weaker than one that does.
The second is that you can only pick 2 classes and not 3 like many other games.
The third is it won't let me undo mastery points so I can pick another class. Restarting gets old.
Finally, inventory management when you have many characters is very inefficient.
Other than those things, it's a good game that I come back to now and then to enjoy.
Heya. Yeah, I agree about the lack of LMB skill in Defence. I sometimes put Batter on there, but it's not quite the same, since that skill wasn't designed for such use.
Wouldn't having 3 classes just end up making the builds too complex?
Why would you want to switch masteries later in the game? Is it because the concept and aesthetic of said mastery doesn't appeal to you or because you find the combination of masteries you picked to be weak? If it's the latter, you can always make any build to be effective. If you just reclaim skill points from the skills and re-arrange them, you can get every build to be useful really.
For inventory management, it might be good to check out TQVault (gives infinite storage space). I am not sure if they've updated it to work with Anniversary Edition, but the older version of TQ works fine with it. Just remember not to have TQVault and the game open at the same time as it can cause data loss for some of your characters.
Matthew Ashworth Thanks for responding! I've watched all your build videos many times.
In another game for example called minions of mirth, you can pick 3, it's not too complicated at all. In titan I might go for defender for strong defense, spirit to get a pet and some buffs and rogue or hunter for stronger offense. I kind of like to have those things - offense, defense, buffs and pets. It's hard to get all 4 with just 2 classes, but I make do with two.
I like to try many different combinations of classes, so each time I have a different way i want to play, I have to start over. I'm enjoying a corsair now, with the emphasis on traps. I've done about 10 different combinations in the last week. I am beginning to wonder if that guy at the start wants his horse to be eaten by the monsters, but I save his horse anyway. "you saved my horse, my horse you saved! you saved the day, hooray hooray!"
I had heard of the the vault, but I really don't like going to 3rd party programs. In grim dawn, I resorted to using save files. I had a file for each type of item. Still, that takes time to go through the files, copy and paste, etc.
Ah ok. Yeah, I understand. Some masteries in TQ can cover multiple roles certainly. Dream for example is a very versatile mastery. And Defence can offer both a good offence and a good defence. Good to hear you're enjoying the Corsair though. Traps can be turned into some very useful pets with all their upgrades.
Defender "Shield Smash" attacks without clicking any buttons. provided the enemy melee attacks you it's better than a LMB-attack.
I can't find any purples and my gear isn't great but it's good 576 armor
You have wares if I have coin?
That depends on what kind of wares. :P
Moon sugar.
Oh, so you're in that sort of exotic business, eh? XD
INSTANT LIKE
Love the text in the middle Xd
Thanks lol. Needed to inject some humour into the video.
By the way, you should try Paths mod (for Anniversary edition)! It's great! Started playing it two days ago and it's great! It's on steam workshop and if you don't know how to play it after you already got it, click Play Custom Quest :)
Playing a combination of Poseidon and Venefici and I have 6 auras on lvl 19 :D
There's already a new mod for Anniversary Edition? That's quick.
There are at least 3 more i've looked at :) (mastery "update")
Also, the Paths mod modifies bosses (not sure about monsters, but bosses for sure), I was killing the Scarabeus for like 35 minutes and on other bosses I spend less than a minute.
great video, grim dawn next please (",)
By the way thanks for replying to my commets
Any time, man. :)
I play normal TQ not immortal thrones or anniversary
Haha I finally found a purple axe called Shia tan so my damage is now like 739 with my onslaught skill activated thx
Good stuff.
Do you know Russian?
Yeah, I do. What gave that away? :D
Nice voice... who's that guy commenting in text over you?
Haha. Meant to be me being all witty to myself. :P
I'm also stuck on the demon bull. If you have any tips or advice to kill him. He's just a bitch. Btw nice videos I didn't see you posting any so I got worried lol.
Demon Bull mostly deals in fire damage and also bleeding. On normal difficulty you only need fire resistance against that area attack he does. The bleeding attack is weak on normal, but it becomes lethal on epic and legendary. It's the one when he starts dancing around crazily. Since bleeding resistance is hard to find, you can simply try to avoid that attack. Just run around him and wait for him to perform it. After he finishes it, go in and attack him for a few seconds, then pull back again.
I really like TQAE for faster game speed : D
I've still not tried it yet, but it's on my to do list.
Really? So it's a lot harder to find their bonuses on gear?
Jeez. So they ramped up the difficulty as I see.
Yeah. Sounds like they still need to add some more. Having to farm for the right gear for ages is no fun. :/
WOW
new vid!
Masteries HA🤫 beat the game without any masteries. Then tell me if it is possible. I will congratulate you on the achievement
I am fairly sure it's possible, though I've not tried it myself. When I used to visit Titan Quest forums a lot, I vaguely remember some people on there were attempting this and getting quite far into the game. I think it might be more tedious than hard most of the time, because you'd have no skills and will just be hack and slashing, and you'll likely also be spending a lot of time farming for good gear.
please let me download your own oob, i want play direct lvl 75 max lvl max mastery please share your obb link and app in google drive tell me if u agree then thanks alot for sharing your obb i no need spend my time, i love this game but mastery so hardd please share obb 1.3G+ please thank You!
