Master the Art of the Crit: Rogue x Earth Build Spotlight Reveals the “Ashstalker”

Munich, Germany / Vienna, Austria - July 3rd, 2025: As we eagerly await the Early Access launch of Titan Quest II, the developers are offering a deeper look into the game’s unique dual-mastery system through a series of build showcases. First up: the “Crit Trick Shot Ashstalker,” a devastating combination of the Rogue and Earth masteries, tailored for players who crave critical hits, precise disruption, and explosive crowd control.

In this build, players lean heavily into the Trick Shot skill from the Rogue tree — a piercing, fast projectile designed to snipe channeling enemies and deliver devastating critical damage. By customizing Trick Shot with Modifiers like Interrupt, Counter, and Enhanced Critical Hit, Ashstalkers can cancel enemy abilities, apply punishing debuffs, and trigger supercharged critical strikes.


Complementing this setup is the Earth mastery, offering powerful AOE support through Roiling Magma, a fireball attack enhanced with Overwhelm and Enhanced Ailment to burn down mobs. Players also benefit from two powerful auras — Preparation and Earth Enchantment — which synergize to boost both physical and fire damage.


To round out the build, passive skills such as Accuracy and Deft Hands sharpen the Rogue’s lethality, while dual-wielded daggers maximize attack speed and stack Overwhelm quickly. Players are encouraged to experiment with attributes like Agility and Might to fine-tune their damage profile depending on their playstyle.


The Ashstalker’s strategic edge lies in its versatility: control the battlefield with interrupts, single out high-value targets with Mark for Death, and sweep away weaker foes with charged fireballs — all while maintaining a deadly crit-based playstyle.

About Titan Quest II

Return to the classic mythology-inspired setting of Titan Quest and go toe-to-toe with legendary monsters as you journey across a fantastical reimagining of ancient Greece. Nemesis, Goddess of Retribution, is out of control. She is corrupting the Threads of Fate and condemning all those who oppose her to eternal punishment - including you. Take up your weapon, fight alongside gods, and change fate itself in order to stop Nemesis, free those she’s punished, and weave your own epic tale.


From the creators of SpellForce 3 comes a handcrafted action RPG for a new generation of mythical heroes.

 
  • A World of Myth and Monsters
    Set out on an adventure worthy of myth that takes you from picturesque beaches, to serene Greek temples, to places where no mortal has ever ventured, including the mysterious realm of the Moirai themselves. Battle classic creatures from Greek myth and the original Titan Quest, including Ichthians, Centaurs, Satyrs, Harpies, Sirens, Gryphons, and many, many more.
  • Exploration-Focused Campaign
    The world is full of mysteries and secrets to discover. Legendary monsters lurk in hidden groves, and you never know when you will end up face-to-face with a god. Visit memorable towns full of life and intrigue. The conversations you engage in and the items you find along your journey can lead to surprising discoveries, or they might just hold the key to stopping Nemesis. This is your adventure.
  • A Challenge Fit for a Hero
    Heroic deeds require heroic effort. The enemies you face are far from defenseless - dodge and counter their attacks, then overwhelm them with a well-timed flurry of blows. Powerful rituals allow you to freely control the game’s difficulty, while deep character customization systems ensure that there’s always a good reason to replay.
  • Flexible Character System
    Customize your hero, then form your own class by combining two masteries. Build your character around the strengths and weakness of both masteries, exploring different combinations of skill modifiers, attributes, and items to create your own hybrid class and find your favorite playstyle.
  • Meaningful Loot
    Every item serves a function, and every character class has many options when it comes to finding the perfect equipment. Even the most common spear can be upgraded via affix crafting, and with the right ingredients, you may even forge it into a unique item spoken of only in legend.
  • Challenging Action RPG Combat
    Enemies form factions and work together, combining their unique skills and abilities to keep you on your toes. Use the deep character build system and access every skill at your disposal to vanquish them in this unique action RPG experience.
  • A Beautiful, Handcrafted World Rooted in Greek Myth
    Encounter stunning vistas and deep caverns, and traverse the world with your divine mount, Areion. Use the powers of the gods to uncover secret locations and explore lovingly designed levels full of verticality.
  • Online Multiplayer
    Join up with friends to take on the Goddess of Retribution. Like Jason and the Argonauts, sometimes you need a group of heroes for your journey.
