I loved playing a Necro in D2 with his army of Skeletons doing the slaughtering.

Also, when I was playing the original Beta of Mythos, there was a build where you summoned floating balls of lightning that would zap your enemies as you walked through them. I LOVED that build.

Is there such a VIABLE build in TL2?

There sure ain't in D3... I tried with my WD... doesn't work.

There are multiple different summoner builds in torchlight 2.

Every class can summon a helper.
And you start every game with a Pet.



Engineer has the easiest time since he has force field and heal bot however, which helps him past NG+ and beyond...
However, the Outlander gets the highest chance of getting a huge huge army from his passive which spawns shadow bats from killing monsters (they die in a a short while though...).

Right...

But are any of those actually fully efficient at killing critters, without you having to also fight the critters?

As I said, it was possible with D2 Necro and Beta Mythos lightning floating balls.

I'm currently making a summoner Engineer.


Essentially, I maxed Shield Bash, had some Charge % on gear. And cast pets into the fray.
I shield bash minions around and have summon skeletons/summon archers.
Have a crap top of minions all over the places and stun around and building force field.

you re roll a berserker...use wolfshade, get the scrolls to summon archers , and zombies, then fish till you get the food that changes your pet into a bat permanently.

I tried a pet build with outlander, figured they could tank while i stayed back and unloaded hell.

wasnt as good as i thought it would be, wasnt bad, but i expected more is all i mean.

Note: didnt use any summon spell scrolls, only the shadowling and whatever outlander skills.
