I’m looking to do a ranged dps alt that can solo torgast. What experiences have people had with ranged dps?
Hunter or warlock. You can slam your forehead on the keyboard and beat it
Hunter, for any solo content in fact
It really doesnt matter - it’s all about luck with the anima powers. Without the right ones, no matter the class, you’ll fail - it’s built for you to fail unless you get “lucky” powers. It’s horrendous, cancerous gameplay and it’s terrible crap.
Warlocks are extremely solid.
We’ve got a ton of strong (albeit boring) powers for Torghast and our kit naturally lends itself to solo content.
I’ve also heard good things about Spriest in Torghast.
The only power I’ve ever “needed” in Torghast is the Corruption slow one. And it’s a common, so you can usually pick it up for like 65 phantasm.
If you’re struggling in Torghast, powers make it easy. But they don’t make or break a run like they do in other Roguelikes.
The best bet is shadow priest, warlock, or hunter. They can either heal and the pets can tank.
I believe boomkin is supposed to be great too
I went through without choosing any anima on my MM hunter, and I cleared it no problem
BM hunter is super easy to solo torghast with. So far the only real deaths i have is from being stupid and walking into traps or getting edgerunner and running off something which which isnt a class problem.
Hunter, by a lot
Considering several specs have cleared layer 3 with 0 powers
Sounds like a you problem
as a boomkin, I got through the first 3 levels before realizing it was a group thing
its not a group thing… thankfully for now until more gear its tough through layer 3-4 as boomkin… though i imagine better players than me are doing ok. Grouping can cause it to become harder due to scaling.
any ranged class that can also tank… ie hunter BM should do just fine in Torg…
I beat the entire thing as a frost mage. With that said be prepared to spend a few hours for the top layers
BM is a cakewalk, admittedly.
Get you a corehound pet and go to town.
as people mentioned - hunter or warlock, having a tank pet you can heal is being an army of two
