![]() Having said that when you are running around and dominating despite playing in Elite it is a very rewarding experience. You may feel frustrated and feel like you are running into a brick wall. If you don't do these things you will die often. ![]() Having a good build is key to success on Elite. Actively moving around the battlefield is key to success on Elite. Enemies can and will one shot you if they happen to get a crit and your build does not account for this possibility. Pick this difficulty if you want a challenging experience that still has some room for error.Įlite difficulty is like Veteran except with less room for error. Having good gear and a good build are also important. On Veteran difficulty mastering this movement is key to being successful. There are movement skills which allow your character to quickly change locations. There is a movie key, ~, that will allow you to move towards your cursor without targeting enemies. Many enemies telegraph their attacks, meaning you can avoid them. A big part of being good at Torchlight 2 is positioning. Veteran is the first difficulty level where you need to play actively. If you want an experience where you won't be challenged too much but will be able to see the difference between good gear and builds and bad ones then play on normal. I guess if you picked really awful gear and skills with no synergies you might run into some resistance but I doubt it. Normal is also pretty easy and I think just about any gamer would find it hard to fail on normal with just a tiny bit of thought about skills and equipment. So if you just want to see enemies blow up and run around feeling like a god and won't get bored by the lack of challenge than (filthy) Casual is for you. With Casual it will not matter which skills you pick, which gear you wear, enemies will do very little damage to you and you and your pet will do a lot of damage to enemies. Casual is the one difficulty with a difference in drops. Normal may be the better option for you if you're really new to this type of game and you're worried about success for whatever reason (time, effort, enjoyment, etc), but I honestly think Veteran is the way to go in most cases (again, a bad build may make this choice the incorrect one so be careful here since you can't respec your skills (sort of)).įirst let's talk about casual. It's challenging enough through most of the game to remain engaging without feeling oppressive through some sections. Veteran to me should be the sweet spot for you. I started on elite and died repeatedly though, but you learn as you go. I have characters from at least normal-elite and a hardcore one or two as well, and I can tell you that normal offers little challenge. You may struggle to kill things efficiently, but as long as you're alive, your enemies soon won't be so that doesn't really matter.Īll this adds up to me saying that I agree with Scrotoctus in saying that Veteran is likely the difficulty for you. This does mean though that you'll obviously have a sub-optimal build both in skills and stats so a higher difficulty may not be the correct choice.įinally, if you prefer a defensive approach over an offensive one (the sword and board approach for example), you'll live longer and likely be able to up the difficulty a tad for this as well. If you don't care, then you can do pretty much whatever build you want in game (I recommend this heavily, its way more fun). I don't see the two being distinct because you'll find the game too easy I think if you're so well built. I say this because if you're that interested in the way the game plays, you're up for the challenge. ![]() If you're wise to these things in games, then obviously the difficulty could be increased without much trouble.įar as the meta thing goes, if you're seriously interested in the "perfect" build, then go for Elite Difficulty. The thing that kills me the most is standing where or when I shouldn't stand somewhere, which usually involves fire/traps/huge hits etc. I say this the way I do for a few reasons: the "universal knowledge of gaming" with the first couple points is totally relevant in this game. If a boss for example winds up a huge slam attack, you should move.ĭo you care about min/max'ing or meta builds at all?ĭo you prefer more offensive or defensive approaches to your gameplay? Are you new to this genre? If not, ignore the following.ĭon't stand in the fire (or anything else that you didn't do).ĭon't take hits you don't need to. ![]()
