First of all we want to level up Rapid Strike to 10 as Fracking Strike now allows us to burn the extra Heat that we generate, then we want to take Blood Seekers to 3 so that the blood missiles it shoots will heal us.

We won’t be picking up any new skills at this point but we will be back filling some of the skills we already have. I personally don’t feel that’s worth the extra 5 points as Blood Seekers already does a great job. You will also want to place a single point into Living Barrier as it will be your second healing skill but this one uses no resources so there is no reason not to have this as well although be advised that taking this skill to level 3 will push enemies away on activation and taking it to level 6 makes it heal for 1 more second bringing its total heal from 60% max health to 80% max health. Fracking Strike does not use up all our heat but has two advantages it has no cooldown which by now will be music to your ears since the cooldown on other venting skills is always just slow enough to disrupt the flow of punching things but the second more important advantage is that it also hits multiple times, has range on it and hits really hard while having a very short animation! Trust me, if venting skills have made Forged fustrating to play, this will remedy that for you. This is where we will replace Vortex Bomb with Fracking Strike. We will max this out eventually but for now the difference between having or not having this skill is night and day. Place a single point into Blood Seekers as this will supplement your potion usage and going forward will be your bread and butter skill in every boss fight and for keeping yourself alive in general. You don’t want to invest any points into Vortex Bomb as we won’t be using it any longer in a few levels. You will reach Level 3 really soon to take the other skill you didn’t take here anyway. The goal here is quality of life as you either want to get into the swing of punching things so you know how it feels and if it is the playstyle for you or if you are already sure you want to do this then take Vortex Bomb so you can vent heat as that is important to playing Forged. The first and more obvious reason is because it heals us and being melee oriented that is a huge boon for us for all the damage we will take while the second less obvious reason is because Blood Drinker has an active skill that we can trigger as a passive which is very useful for boosting our damage as we will be using our relic energy whenever we get into a boss fight for self healing so unlike other classes we want to hold onto as much relic energy as can. That or JoJo references because you can never escape those JoJo references! Oh you thought we were done? Well you were wrong because…Ĭome on now, don’t you get tired of JoJo references? Anyway our relic of choice is Blood Drinker for a few reasons.

With that said there is something inherently fascinating about punching bad dudes in the face because no matter how many games let you punch dudes, it somehow never gets old which is probably why you are here.

DUSK MAGE BUILD TORCHLIGHT 3 HOW TO
Even though you are reading this guide on how to build your Forged there is no need to look at other classes and think “man I wish I was playing them instead” as every class can break the game in their own way. If I were to rank the T3 characters based on power, Sharpshooter would be top followed very closely by Railmaster and Dusk Mage and then Forged however they would all be A tier or higher because every class in T3 has the potential to be super strong.
