It is honestly the most difficult of the trees to master, but in my opinion it is also the most fun.Д®mber Shock is your bread and butter. It includes numerous abilities which benefit an Alchemist who does his damage up close and personal. The Battle tree is for the Alchemist who wanted to be a Destroyer but couldnвЂ™t because his shoulders werenвЂ™t broad enough. If that doesnвЂ™t get you excited, you best check your pulse. ItвЂ™s like an Alchemical Golem but it fires an awesome beam of energy at opponents. It is particularly good if youвЂ™ve been leveling up Neither Imp and now have a swarm of them. I have not been able to find out the hard numbers on it, but it seems very effective.

There are not many enemies in the game who are a threat to you by themselves, and its often easier to just kill them.Д«urning Bind is a buff for your minions. It is useful for getting yourself out of a bind now and then, but in general it is just annoying. He can take a lot of hits, but Neither Imps are better at distracting foes due to their sheer numbers. This spell will be doing a lot of your damage once you have access to him. Summon Alchemical Golem is one of the must-haves. But it is not so hot when fighting ranged opponents. There are times when this will seem great. It does damage to enemies who are close to your minions. He isnвЂ™t incredible, but you get quite a few of them as you level up the skill, creating a wall of Imps between you and your foes. Neither Imp summons a little Imp to help you out. Since youвЂ™ll be surrounded by allies, your Alchemist will be relatively safe from damage. It also is a good tree for those who traditionally love pet classes and want to watch their minions do the dirty work. This is a good compliment to the Arcane tree. Spells in the Lore tree focus on summoning. Just keep your mana potions at the ready and youвЂ™ll love this spell. It does gobs of damage and consumes gobs of mana. If used properly it is probably the most mana efficient way of doing damage in the game - just make sure youвЂ™re using it against groups and not solo opponents.Д®mber Strike is the lance of god. Pyre is a good AOE DOT which is very effective against large groups. It compliments Ember Bolt well since it damages all enemies in a line rather than all enemies in a spread. It shoots a laser wherever you point it and does a good amount of damage. With that said, however, I again find myself preferring Ember Bolt instead.Д®mber Lance is one of the coolest spells in the game. Lightning resistance is somewhat rare, so that can be useful. It just isnвЂ™t as good as Ember Bolt, so I suggest passing it.Д®mber Lightning is fairly simple nuke which does a lot of damage. It freezes enemies, which in Torchlight isnвЂ™t all of that great.

This keeps melee opponents from turning you into a squishy pile of goo. It does good damage and it knocks back opponents. Ember Bolt is, in my opinion, a must have spell.
