Torchlight 2 General Discussion

[Felore]

Played D3 to 60

Played Torchlight 2 to lv 21 full Act 1 Elite Mode.

And I can say this, TL2 is overall better when it comes to loot, you can add gem slots to gear, you can add enchants on gear, you can even augment the gear to the status you want, you can remove and re add enchants on gear if you dont like status you got on it.

Overall the loot experience feels better in TL2.

I really hate the way D3 done the loot system, all you have to do is go on Auction House, buy tier 13 you and say I beat the game.

Bosses drop crap gear, the good gear can only be found at lv 60 and from trash mobs only.
At lv 60 you get a perm buff that adds Magic Find to like 25% and that stocks up the more level 60's you have in the game.

Basically your forced to party with people and have a full party if you want to find anything good, and finding anything good for your class on inferno mode is like 1 in a million chance.

Barb wants str/vit
mage wants int/vit
DH wants dex/vit
........

and so on.... any other status on the gear is trash .

And yes Legendary's are trash too, rares are the best items in the game right now if your lucky to get good status on it for your class.

so yeah 99% of the time you will buy gear for Auction House.

Also D3 servilely punishes you to spec 1 way only on Hell/Inferno mode, there is really no other way to spec then have mostly all your skills defence skills.

TL2 sucks due to the fact that elite =/= more rewards.
Infact you get LESS rewards for playing on elite(less gold, loot sells for less).

More rewards would ultimately make elite extremely easy(if by "more rewards" you mean better loot). I mean what's the point of having an elite difficulty if you can then farm items which you can use to smash through it.

Of course it isn't as extreme as D3 Inferno mode but I like their idea. I love elite mode because it is 100% doable and provides challenge throughout the game(for me personally). If on Veteran I occasionally had to be careful not head-butt packs of enemies then on Elite that's a complete suicide for lower HP pool classes at least.

Well, considering easy/normal is better for just about everything I don't see the point with Elite.
Sure it's more challenging/more fun, but I'd also like to see higher drop rates for better loot.
Went through the stress test on elite as a 2h melee ember mage and it was a breeze up until the last boss because it's a single target dps/defense build.
