Will save toughness for later then. DP ends and can recast in 8 secs so I've almost got it.

Not having a working blacksmith skill is made up for still being able to have DB on spells on the console

level 58 1. Tactics Lore - 22 2. Exalted Warrior Focus -20 3. Dual Wield - 15 4. Revered Technology Focus 17 5. Armor Lore - 58 6. Celestial Magic Focus -14 7. Revered Technology Lore - 58 8. Constitution - 1 9. Toughness 1 Trying to decide where to go. I know I need some toughness. But my armor isn't that bad mostly sets I wanted. Tho I can't find Holy Protection for anything. I keep getting the SW chest. HR keeps me good, I can rapid cast it and live thru everything expect boss crits. With 51% DB my damage feels great. Even early on my melee damage feels just fine as well. So I haven't felt the need to drop more points in them. I know toughness is a good route to go but the focus skills are really drawing me in. My semi buffs are almost there. I just wanted to show people my spread of this build. My playstyle is Pillar/Hallowed, Nova, pelting, rinse. I keep archangel on my X for those annoying single guys. Also keep a HR by itself on L2 layout for easy stacking. Haven't needed a boomstick for bosses yet. Favorite grind is the spiders in the lower swamp. I still plan on taking EP for the last skill but won't be putting much into it yet.

Try turning off all buff effects and numbers. When I got rid of the all the numbers on the screen the game runs better. Do turn off buff effects and number values that pop. It helps. I never used a fire HE. At higher levels my Ice Shards didn't slow me down much but like two raging nimbus' would drag the game down to chops. Really go for a Ice Shard spammer. You can spam that forever. Use a pistol or something for aiming early on. Same deal as Blazing not as god like early on tho. Plus I enjoy the Ice buffs more.

Very happy I decided to take the recuperation. In gold I was able to kill Thranak and the Octo boss at 47. Needed a few pots for Thranak but my HP just fluxed at the top on the Octo. Recuperation stacks with itself I think.

Baneful Smite mods instead of Hallowed. I don't really see a need to upgrade hallowed. A pot works just as well if not better. Out of habit I'm always watching and potting when I don't need to sometimes anyway. I"m interested in the force lightening. So far its a good combo with archangel for me. Has anyone tried out Baneful with Laggard - Confuse. I'm curious as to how well these debuffs will work on bosses. Also since people keep saying Ice & Blood. I"m on PS3 so none for me .

Torchlight is rumored to hopefully be out by holidays for XLA/PSN. Hopefully we get the second one two. Get to buy it again and 2 twice Couch co op ftw. I wounder if they will leave the modding open on PS3. Epic did it for UT3, more people need to do this. Sony needs to do a HD collection of this and ress the series.

I just decided to go with this. I have a similar start but with tech lore taking the lead. I didn't know about the semi buffs I like that. Will I need to have my focus skills for those buffs up to help the regen or will just pumping them up be enough with mods? So far DA looks like it might work even with a low focus. Going to drop the last lore in favor of EP haven't run one yet.

This is the way I have been playing. Plan on adding Con for HP then I"m not sure maybe speed lore and toughness, astral focus for sure tho. But I want to fight on my mount. Will the riding skill reduce the penalty on a special mount? (PS3)
