Studio Releases New Video Highlighting Ashstalker of Titan Quest II

Developer Grimlore Games has released a new video that gives us a peek at the unique dual-mastery system of Titan Quest II. It focuses on the Ashstalker, which is a combination of the Rogue and Earth masteries. This is a good choice for those who want critical hits, precise disruption, and explosive crowd control.

The Trick Shot

So what does the build offer? For starters, it leans heavily into the Trick Shot skill from the Rogue tree. It's a piercing and fast projectile which allows players to snipe channeling enemies and at the same time deliver those devastating critical damage. By customizing Trick Shot with Modifiers like Interrupt, Counter, and Enhanced Critical Hit, it allows the Ashstalker to cancel enemy abilities while also applying punishing debuffs and trigger supercharged critical strikes.

Earth Mastery

Complementing the setup is the Earth mastery. It offers powerful AOE support through Roiling Magma, which is a fireball attack that's enhanced with Overwhelm and Enhanced Ailment to burn down those mobs. Players also benefit from the two powerful auras which are Preparation and Earth Enchantment. These synergize to boost both physical and fire damage.

Passive Skills

Rounding out the build are passive skills like Accuracy and Deft Hands that sharpen the Rogue’s lethality. Meanwhile, the dual-wielded daggers maximize attack speed and stack Overwhelm quickly. Players are thus encouraged to experiment with attributes like Agility and Might to fine-tune their damage profile depending on their playstyle.

The Ashstalker’s strategic edge pretty much lies in its versatility. The Ashstalker can control the battlefield with interrupts, single out high-value targets with Mark for Death, and sweep away weaker foes with charged fireballs. While doing all of these, they can continue to maintain a deadly crit-based playstyle.
