You can drop a sigil on the ground that repels attackers when they enter it and it copies your current weapon element for example.

The really cool stuff is that when you switch elements, you have other skills affected. On the weapon, it increases range(adds a longer magic blade on the tip of your sword) or simply change elements. On the shield you can make it so when you block it does damage, creates a large shield to protect from most attacks in front of you or it heals you. For example, you can enchant your weapon or shield with various elements(for a paladin type though that'd be mostly holy but I guess holy fire or divine water could also be used). If you want some pretty cool ideas, the Mystic Knight in Dragon's Dogma has some really cool skills. I understand that Runic will be releasing a new version of TorchED for Torchlight II, so I'm not sure how much concrete information is available I'm mostly focusing on nailing down the core concept and abilities at this point anyway.Įdit: I'm jotting down some ideas on and off, which I will eventually put into a Google document so that people can annotate as they see fit. Zealot/Crusader: An offensive-focused skill tree specialising in two-handed weapons for maximum fun and damage.Īny input would be greatly appreciated, as well as any tips, tricks, and resources for creating this mod. Paragon/Templar: A defensive skill tree focusing on shields and one-handed weapons.ĭivine: A blend of offensive and defensive skills with some medium range spells and group buffs (holy bolt, auras, etc.). The skill trees I currently have in mind are as follows: I played the original Torchlight (and the paladin mod created by CCCenturion).

I'm looking for ideas for the charge mechanic, skills, and to a lesser extent lore/background. If I can't manage it, I will gladly pass on whatever progress I make to an experienced modder who would be willing to finish it. I've never made a mod before, so I'm not entirely sure what I'm in for, but I'm willing to give it a good effort, and hopefully it will see the light of day as a balanced, functioning character. I know others enjoy the paladin playstyle as well, and I wanted to get some suggestions and feedback from the community before fleshing out the character too much. I'm strongly considering creating a paladin class mod for Torchlight II, as I've always loved the paladin archetype and playstyle in (A)RPGs.
