Can I respec my skills?

Yes, you can freely change skills and modifiers at any time without penalty.

What are important attribute and gear stats for each build?

For Ice Shards Stormblade, prioritize Knowledge, staffs with Cold/Spell Damage, armor with crit/resistances, and jewelry with spell damage/crit. For Overload Flame Berserker, split Might and Knowledge, invest in Vigor, use weapons with Spell/Fire Damage, armor with health regen/resistances, and jewelry with energy regen/fire damage.

Titan Quest 2 Best Builds Guide

Titan Quest II

Titan Quest 2 uses a dual mastery system, letting you combine two skill trees to create unique hybrid classes. This guide covers the strongest builds currently available in early access, including skills, attributes, and gear priorities (note this is a WIP).

Best Build: Ice Shards Stormblade

We got inspiration from Lucky Ghost on YouTube for this one (see their video embedded down below); our original builds weren’t coming close to this. The Ice Shards Stormblade build combines Storm and Rogue masteries for high damage and mobility. It clears enemies on and off-screen with homing projectiles and offers fast map movement.

Masteries

Storm Mastery: Provides Ice Shards as the main damage skill, Storm Nimbus for increased cold damage, and Blink for teleport mobility.
Rogue Mastery: Adds attack speed, crit chance, crit damage, and the Vanish buff for increased move speed and casting.

Core Skills

Ice Shards (max): Main damage ability, modified with:
- Chaos: +12 additional projectiles.
- Homing: Makes projectiles automatically seek enemies.
- Infused Shard: Increases damage based on reserved energy.
Storm Nimbus + Storm Enhancement (max): Boosts cold and lightning damage by 60%.
Blink with Repeat: Triple teleport charges for rapid repositioning.
Spell Rage: Boosts spell damage and cast speed.
Storm Guidance (max): Improves projectile speed, homing, and penetration.
Rogue Passives (Accuracy & Deaf Hands): Increases crit chance, damage, and casting speed.
Vanish: Grants 20% cast speed, 45% move speed, 60% crit chance, and 12% crit damage for 10 seconds.

Attributes

Focus on Knowledge for cold and lightning damage scaling, mana pool, and access to high-tier caster gear.
Optional points into Core Dodge Upgrades for more mobility and survivability against bosses.

Gear Priorities

Weapons: Staffs with Cold Damage and Spell Damage. Look for duplicate cold rolls or cold + elemental damage combos.
Armor: Crit chance on shoulders, resistances on chest and boots, and move speed on boots.
Jewelry: Rings with spell damage, crit chance, or elemental ailment chance. Necklaces with multiple resistances.
Potions: Prioritize regen and cleanse potions for late-game boss fights.

Playstyle

Spam Ice Shards with homing modifiers to kill enemies off-screen.
Keep Vanish active for permanent move speed and damage buffs.
Use Blink for quick traversal and repositioning.
Dodge frequently to maintain mobility bonuses and avoid heavy attacks.

Second Build Option: Overload Flame Berserker (Earth + Warfare)

This build uses a permanent fire aura to deal heavy area damage while stacking regeneration to handle self-damage.

Masteries

Earth Mastery: Provides Ring of Flame, Roaring Magma, and Overload mechanics.
Warfare Mastery: Adds health regeneration and tankiness, offsetting aura self-damage.

Core Skills

Ring of Flame + Permanency: Converts Ring of Flame into a permanent aura, dealing constant damage around you.
Roaring Magma: Generates Overload stacks to increase aura size and damage.
Overload: Boosts area-of-effect damage based on stacks.
Warfare Passives: Health regeneration and defensive bonuses to stay alive in melee.

Attributes

Split between Might (armor and melee gear) and Knowledge (Resolve boost for fire damage and energy).
Small investment in Vigor for extra health.

Gear

Weapons: Spell Damage and Fire Damage stats (weapon base damage does not affect spell damage).
Armor: Health regen, resistances (fire and lightning for boss fights), and movement speed boots.
Jewelry: Energy regen and fire or elemental damage multipliers.

Playstyle

Keep Ring of Flame active for constant area damage.
Use Roaring Magma when entering combat to stack Overload for maximum aura damage and size.
Maintain mobility with dodge upgrades and barrier for burst protection.
Build for sustain and resistances so you can stay in melee while your aura burns everything down.

Final Blurb

Titan Quest 2’s mastery system makes build crafting flexible and fun even in early access. The Ice Shards Stormblade offers unmatched clear speed and mobility, melting enemies on and off-screen. The Overload Flame Berserker trades range for raw area damage and survivability, perfect for players who prefer to be in the middle of combat.

Both builds are viable across current content and will only grow stronger as more masteries and gear are added.
