History Characters / TorchlightII

* KnifeNut: Cursed Daggers tosses out a spread of knives that poison and debilitate enemy attacks. Each hit adds 0.5% to an Outlander's speed at Tier I, CriticalHit chance at Tier II and overall damage at Tier III, for four seconds

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Red pandas are not that frequently seen in most media.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Female Berserkers' default costume have them wearing nothing but suspenders to hide their breasts.

* LudicrousGibs: If they're not shattering their prey then the {{Critical Hit}}s from their WolverineClaws will be spreading enemies across the floor. Rupture is a particular skill that gut-punches the victim, stunning them before they explode to deal a burst of AreaOfEffect damage. This skill is only a OneHitKill in regards to the common mooks you fight but it will still blow a chunk of health out of brutes and even champions.

* ShockwaveStomp: Northern Rage causes fissures of icy shards to travel out from where you stomp while Glacial Shatter has you stomp the ground before several spots where your cursor was erupts with super heated steam that blinds enemies and can even ''ignite'' them at Tier II.

* BottomlessMagazines: Outlanders have no shortage of ammunition, either they be arrows, bolts or bullets. The only "ammo" is Mana when it comes to the skills fired from these weapons.

* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Rune Vault is the closest it comes to a roll. Outlanders with this skill perform a backflip to leap out of danger while also damaging nearby enemies. Not a bad idea to invest at least one point into this skill as an escape ability or to give yourself more breathing room against an approaching enemy without having to run away.

* SummonMagic: Bane Breath causes enemies killed after being afflicted to turn into shadowling beasts while their Shadowling Ammo passive summons small bat-like creatures by chance after a kill. Their final Sigil skill allows them to summon a Shadowling Brute that works like it's Tu'taran/Spectral counterpart. All of these summons benefit from the Death Ritual passive skill that increases their summon duration and damage.

* BottomlessMagazines: You never need to reload your cannon after firing. Only time it's a concern is running out of Mana when firing the Blast Cannon and Fusillade skills.

* ShockAndAwe: Two of the Tundra skills instead use electricity with the Storm Hatchet throwing skill or Storm Claw which imbues their weapons with a chance to shock and cast ChainLightning from their target, up to two times. Shadow Burst also inflicts a percentage of your weapon's DPS as electric damage.

* WolverineClaws: Claws are their main weapons, they can't hit multiple targets but they're fast and [[ArmorPiercingAttack deal damage at half the target's physical armor value]].

* LudicrousGibs: If they're not shattering their prey then the {{Critical Hit}}s from their WolverineClaws will be spreading the floor with their enemies. Rupture is a particular skill that gut-punches the victim, stunning them before they explode to deal a burst of AreaOfEffect damage. This skill is ''not'' a OneHitKill despite what you might think but it will still blow a large chunk of health out of larger mooks and champions.

* HulkSpeak: Their status speeches ("Don't got that much gold!", "Health low!") provide a downgraded version of this to imply a DumbMuscle status or it's the dialect they had in the Valgang tribes.

* ScreamingWarrior: Berserkers will throws lots of grunts when they make their attacks.

* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Rune Vault is the closest it comes to a roll. Outlanders with this skill perform a backflip to leap out of danger while also damaging enemies around the spot they leapt from.

* BottomlessMagazines: Outlanders have no shortage of ammunition, either they be arrows, bolts or bullets.
* DeadlyDisc: Five of their skills specialize in various throwing glaive artifacts they discover. The basic glaive homes in and inflicts poison damage and can rebound to hit further enemies. Sandstorm throws glaives that whip up whirlwinds, cutting through and disorienting enemies. The Shattering Glaive, well, shatters and sprays shrapnel like a grenade, damaging enemies in it's radius. Flaming Glaives throws out two of them that travel in concentric circles until they bounce off a wall. Glaive Sweep performs a SpinAttack that knocks away enemies with a chance to interrupt and stun them.

* FlechetteStorm[=/=]KnifeNut: Cursed Daggers tosses out a spread of knives that poison and debilitate enemy attacks. Each hit adds 0.5% to an Outlander's speed at Tier I, CriticalHit chance at Tier II and overall damage at Tier III, for four seconds

* {{Multishot}}: Chaos Burst fires a trio of poisonous shots that ricochet and pierce, then fire five at Tier III. Nowhere near [[VideoGame/DiabloII amazonian]] levels but the ricochet and piercing ability makes it lethal in smaller spaces.

* DropTheHammer: Magma Mace conjures a large, red hot maul that's swung in a wide arc in front of them.

* {{BFS}}: Great swords are suited to this class along with the other great weapons. The aptly named Heavy Lifting passive lets them swing great weapons faster and convey a chance to stun.

* CattlePunk: Engineers have this aesthetic thanks to their job being the Imperial colonization within Vilderan.

* BottomlessMagazines: You never need to reload your cannon after firing.

* PlayingWithFire: Their Blitz skills commonly deal damage, either as fiery fissures when slamming the ground or directly from the weapon itself. The Fire and Spark passive increases the damage done by these elements, befitting the machinery nature of the Engineer.

* ShockAndAwe: Their suits build up a charge of energy over time which they can discharge from a variety of purposes, from a force field to a static burst that gibs enemies. The Fire and Spark passive increases the damage done by these elements, befitting the machinery nature of the Engineer.

* HighClassGlass: Most of them have of a monocle when you create your character.

-> ''Enough talk! Gold and glory await!''

-> ''If a problem is too big to fix... one must break it into smaller problems.''

* {{BFS}}: Great swords are suited to this class.
* BladeOnAStick: Polearms have the longest reach of any melee weapon but are slow to swing.

* DropTheHammer: Great hammers and maces convey a chance to interrupt enemy attacks unless they have resistance/immunity. The aptly named Sledgebot wields a hammer of it's own.

* ArmorPiercingAttack: Claws deal damage against enemies at half their physical armor value, making up for their inability to hit multiple targets. The Shred Armor passive skill temporarily steals the physical armor from struck enemies and applying it to you.

* ShockAndAwe: Storm skills typically are able to hit multiple enemies in a single attack, making them ideal for crowd control with skills such as Shocking Orb or Shock Bolts.

** Aegis of Fate is a passive that has a chance to trigger upon being hit and the chance increases with further points invested, granting a shield that can absorb 200% + 100 of your armor with a %50 knockback reduction. Unlike Forcefield, this one will last indefinitely until it absorbs all the damage it can and it takes priority above said skill.

Engineers are the workhorse of the Empire and responsible for the colonization of said Empire in Vilderan. Being GadgeteerGenius', they examine and adapt technology and equipment from long forgotten Dwarven artifacts, the result is [[SteamPunk Steam]] PoweredArmor that grants them both superior protection and immense strength that they call upon to smite the enemy. Along with armor, they have the capability to construct helpful, steam powered machines to aid them. Engineers wield great two handed weapons ranging from massive wrenches to pole-arms longer than they are tall with Blitz abilities that summon forth fiery fissures and smash the enemy. Engineers specializing in Construction both use special munitions in their cannons along with building temporary allies for support ranging from a healing pulse generating robot to a gun turret on legs that saturates the area with machine gun fire. Aegis skills are suited to the usage of a shield, bashing the enemy with the massive plate or discharging their suit energy for a variety of purposes from force fields to nasty electrocutions.

* DeflectorShields: The Forcefield can absorb damage for a limited time or when it sustained enough damage.

* ShieldBash: Their first skill in the Aegis tree is the very trope name, attacks use a percentage of physical defense from the shield and stun the enemy. Further tiers increase the damage dealt and segments of their charge meter contribute a damage bonus. A later skill, Fire Bash, works differently in that it releases a blast of fire from their shield in a wide spread in front of them and charge pips make the attack larger.

* YouWillNotEvadeMe: Ember Reach allows an Engineer to pull an enemy toward them, briefly stunning them. Charge pips increase the stun duration but neither does the skill expend nor gain charge.

* ArmorPiercingAttack: Claws deal damage against enemies at half their physical armor value, making up for their inability to hit multiple targets.

* HulkSpeak: Their status speeches ("Don't got that much gold!", "Health low!") provide a downgraded version of this to imply a DumbMuscle status or it's the dialect they were used to in the Valgang tribes.

* ShockAndAwe: Two of the Tundra skills instead use electricity with the Storm Hatchet throwing skill or Storm Claw which imbues their weapons with a chance to shock and cast ChainLightning from their target, up to two times.

* SummonMagic: Their Shadow skills include the Wolf Shade that deals ice damage to foes while it's summoned. Their Wolf Pack skill summons forth a pack of kamikaze wolves that charge their target but they behave more like projectiles (similar to something like the [[VideoGame/DiabloII Bone Spirit]]).

* PlayingWithFire: Their Blitz skills commonly deal damage, either as fiery fissures when slamming the ground or directly hitting from the weapon. The Fire and Spark passive increases the damage done by these elements, befitting the machinery nature of the Engineer.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Female Berserkers' default costume have them wearing nothing but suspenders to hide their naughty bits.

* DemotedToExtra: Playable in the first game. Reduced to respec NPC in the second.

* BottomlessMagazines: You never need to reload you cannons after firing.
