Shreds single targets and bosses. | | Healing Bot | 15 (max) | Passive healing + mana regen + resists. Keeps your army alive. | | Emberquake | 1 | Optional late-game. Cast once to burn hordes when surrounded — but not required. |

This is the heart of the build. You have 100 skill points to spend. Here is the exact breakdown.

1. Sledgebot (Max - 15 points) This is your tank. Your champion. Your best friend. The Sledgebot is a massive mech that taunts enemies, has a huge health pool, and deals respectable physical damage. At max rank, it has an AoE ground slam that stuns. Always keep this bot active. If it dies, run away and resummon it immediately. torchlight 2 best engineer summoner build

2. Gun Bot (Max - 15 points) Your primary damage dealer. This turret fires explosive charges that deal fire damage in a large radius. It scales with your Focus and Character Level, not your weapon. Two Gun Bots can overlap their AoE to melt entire screens of trash mobs. Always have two active (you unlock a second at tier 2).

3. Spider Mines (Max - 15 points) Do not underestimate these little guys. They are cheap, you can have up to five active, and they seek out enemies. Upon reaching an enemy or expiring, they explode for significant fire damage. They are your cleanup crew and boss killers. Spam them constantly between fights. | Skill | Points | Effect | |-------|--------|--------|

4. Healing Bot (Max - 15 points) The reason you never die. This bot pulses a heal-over-time that affects you, your pets, your other bots, and even allied players. At max rank, it also restores mana and reduces physical damage taken by 15%. Keep this up 100% of the time. No exceptions.

5. Immobilization Copter (Max - 15 points) The ultimate debuff. This hovering drone slows enemies by over 50%, reduces their armor, and—most importantly—has a chance to stun them every second. Stunned enemies can’t attack. Combine this with your Sledgebot’s taunt, and melee enemies become helpless pinatas. Final tip: Bind "Spider Mines" to your Right Mouse Button

If you want to break the traditional hack-and-slash mold, the Engineer Summoner is the most relaxing, thematic, and surprisingly powerful build in the game. It turns Torchlight 2 into a tower defense game where you are the tower.

Summary Checklist:

Final tip: Bind "Spider Mines" to your Right Mouse Button. At full Charge domination, you can spam 30 spiders before running out of mana. Watch your FPS drop as the bodies pile up.

Go build your army, Engineer. The Alchemist won't know what hit him.
