Elementalist Build Guide in Titan Quest 2
The Elementalist focuses on elemental spells and strong magic. Three forms of thermal damage fire, cold, and lightning, are the main topics of this lesson. If you enjoy blasting enemies with raw elemental power, this is the class for you. The Elementalist’s passive skills boost your spell damage and casting speed, letting you deal more damage faster. You also get better energy regeneration, which helps you keep casting without running out of power.
Skills Mastery
To start dealing strong damage early on, it’s best to pick the Storm Mastery first. This lets you unlock Call Lightning, which will be your main attack skill during the early levels. After that, you’ll want to choose the Earth Mastery to get Ring of Flame, which adds some extra damage around you. Storm and Earth work really well together because their passive skills boost your spell damage, increase how fast you can cast, and help you regenerate energy faster perfect for a magic-focused build.
When you level up, you’ll get two Attribute Points to spend. Every piece of gear has stat requirements, and some stats also boost your damage. For this Elementalist build, you’ll want to put just enough points into Knowledge so you can wear useful Magos or Plated Robes and equip a Staff. After that, focus the rest of your points on Vigor to increase your health and help you survive longer.
Follow the skill and passive progression shown in the table below for the Call Lightning Elementalist. Start by putting 18 Divinity into Storm, then put another 18 Divinity into Earth. You’ll begin the game using Ice Shards, but once you reach 6 Divinity in Storm, switch over to Lightning Bolt it’s more powerful and fits better with the build.
Armor
Go for Magos Robes or Plated Robes they’re great for spellcasters and give a solid boost to your Energy Barrier. Use the Barrier skill when needed to block damage, but try to keep your distance and move smartly so you don’t get overwhelmed while it’s on cooldown.
Weapons
Use a Staff to boost your magic power. Look for ones with helpful bonuses like Spell Damage, Lightning Damage, Critical Hit Chance, or Cast Speed. Since this build doesn’t rely on basic attacks, the actual weapon damage doesn’t matter it’s all about the magical boosts.
How the Build Works: Rotation and Mechanics
The Call Lightning Elementalist is all about using a simple combo to hit hard. Start by casting Lightning Bolt three times this builds up Overwhelm stacks. Then use Call Lightning to consume those stacks and deal 150% more damage in one big hit. This rotation helps you save Energy and still deal huge bursts of damage without running out too quickly.
Movement Skills
Use Blink up to three times in a row to quickly move around in combat or to travel faster. You can also use Dodge with the Teleport modifier for even more mobility perfect for getting out of danger or repositioning fast.
Storm Nimbus Reminder
Once you equip Storm Nimbus, make sure to activate it from your skill bar. It’s a Sustained Skill, so if you die or log out, you’ll need to turn it on again manually.
Staying Alive: Defensive Tips
The best way to survive is simple don’t get hit. Smart positioning is key, so keep moving and use your Dodge and Blink to avoid danger. Having Movement Speed on your boots really helps with this fast-paced playstyle.
When avoiding damage isn’t possible, use Barrier to block it. It also protects you from the recoil damage that Call Lightning can cause when you have full Overwhelm stacks.
To reduce incoming damage even more. Try to cap your Resistances at 60% to take less elemental damage. Your armor from gear will help lower physical damage as well.
