Build guide for stereotypical tank and spank type physical warrior using the Conqueror (Defence / Warfare) class.

Introduction


  • Beowulf, Bane of Grendel.
  • Mastery: Conqueror (Defence / Warfare).
  • Build: The stereotypical one hander and shield warrior.

The Conqueror combines the Defence and Warfare masteries. Defence provide shield buffs, defensive abilities and shield attacks while Warfare provides your primary offensive abilities and some additional damage avoidance.
Pros:

  • The two masteries synergize well together, giving you a good supply of strength, dexterity and health.
  • Good, spammable LMB attack.
  • Good overall balance between offence and defence.
  • Decent AOEs (Batter and Shield Charge).
  • Good anti-boss trinity in Colossus Form + Ancestral Horn + Battle Standard.

Cons:

  • AOEs (Batter and Shield Charge) have limited targets and hit box.
  • Multiple ranged enemies can be annoying.
  • Can be somewhat gear dependent but not extremely so.

Defense Mastery (AKA The Tank)


Batter

Batter will server as your RMB attack. It's on a cooldown so it's not something you can spam so you'll be using Onslaught when it or Shield Charge is on cooldown. With a point in Rend Armour you'll be able to hit three targets in a 160 degree arc. Decent for dealing with groups but remember that it has its limitations. Max out Batter to buff the base skill and Rend Armour to reduce armour on enemies.
Concussive Blow

Adds a chance to stun with axe and mace. Obviously, if you're not using an axe or mace as your one hander the skill is useless. If you're are using one then the stun can be useful. I maxxed out the skill in my build but the skill isn't mandatory, more nice to have. If you're looking to free up your points to put into something else then this is one you can bypass.

Best Class In Titan Quest

Battle Awareness

Aura that buffs armour and defensive ability. I only dropped a single point into the base skill. The base skill is okay but not mandatory while the synergy skills are more useful imo. Iron Will gives you all the secondary resistances you'll need and Focus gives you extra passive shield block chance.
Armour Handling

Reduces str requirement letting you equip good gear faster and gives you extra armour absorption. Worth picking up.
Rally

Provide an emergency heal on top of your potions. I dropped one point into it early on and forgot to remove it later. Rally really needs to be maxxed long term if you decide to use it so it heals enough to be worthwhile. I had too many other skills I was interested in, the skill can be nice to have but not mandatory.
Quick Recovery

Good one point ability. Gives a nice boost to absorption and block for a limited time. Good when fighting crowds. If you have spare points you can put more into it but even with one point it's pretty useful.
Shield Charge

Charges an enemy. Drop one point into the base skill and pump up its synergy skill Disruption first.Good way to get into melee range of casters and archers quickly, hits multiple targets, short stun and skill disruption. You can drop more points into shield charge when you have free points.
Shield Smash, Disable and Pulverise

This trio of passive skills should be maxxed out. When attacking with Onslaught (or basic attack, Batter / Shield Charge will not trigger) and a shield equipped, you'll get the chance to trigger their effects (reduced defensive ability, slower attack and 3 target reduced OA / skill disruption respectively). When they trigger, you'll do your normal weapon damage + the skill effect / damage.
Colossus Form

Grow to a large size and provides you with some substantial buffs. Great one point wonder anti-boss skill. Downside is the six minute long cooldown, the large size makes you harder to navigate and you can't enter caves and such. Unless you have substantial recharge reduction you'll want to save this for bosses and major fights. With extra points you'll get more damage absorption and strength.

Warfare Mastery (AKA The Spank)


Weapon Training

Boosts your offensive ability and attack speed. Nice passive to have, max it out
Battle Rage

Drop a single point into Battle Rage to unlock the chance of getting a big boost to offensive ability. Drop a single point into the Crushing Blow synergy. I don't care for the Counter Attack synergy. No other points are needed imo.
Onslaught
Your main LMB attack. Onslaught has stacks. When you use the ability you gain stacks. Stacks decay fairly quickly over time when you are not attacking. The more points you have in the skill, the more stacks you can get. The more stacks you have up, the more you get buffed. Obviously you want to max it out.
The Ignore Pain synergy buffs your physical and pierce resist. At 10/6 you'll gain +20% to both. You'll only have the buff when you have at least one Onslaught stack on. The physical resist is more useful as it's harder to get than pierce resist. If you need points for something else, this is something you can pass on as it isn't really a huge buff overall. You just need a single point here to unlock the later, more useful synergies.
Hamstring reduces defensive ability, armour and speed while Ardour increases movement speed and attack speed while you have at least one stack of Onslaught active. Max out both of these synergies.
Dual Wield

Dual wield is a rather useful ability in Warfare that lets you attack with two weapons at once. Obviously, a skill designed around attacking with two weapons will clash with skills that require shields. You are able to swap easily between two weapon load outs ('w' is default keybinding) so one can swap between a one hander + shield to dual weapon fairly fast. However, dual wield require a lot of skill points invested to become good. If you want to dual wield you should play a build more focused on that. Harbringer or Assassin come to mind.
Dodge Attacks

Increases your chance to dodge melee attacks. Worth dropping a couple of points into at least and can be maxxed if you feel like it.
War Horn

One point wonder ability. Applies a short stun to all enemies within range. Useful when you're fighting a big group to give you time to clear some first before you get mobbed, keep ranged enemies form running away or to interrupt annoying enemies (ex: casters or big damage dealers). Further points into the skill will increase the radius of the spell and the maximum stun length, however, the min stun length is always 1.5 seconds so it can be fairly inconsistent. Whether you want to invest more in the skill is up to you but a single point is effective.
The Doom Horn synergy skill is more valuable to put points into imo as it will debuff enemies' health and armour in addition to the base skill's stun. I wouldn't say it's mandatory through. Drop a single point into the skill and buff a little with +skill items or max it out depending on how you like the skill.
Battle Standard

One of the best skills in Warfare, Battle Standard will give you huge buffs if you're within its range. With one point, you'll get +1 skills, half-energy costs, a bit of damage absorption and some offensive ability and extra damage. Maxxed out, you'll get excellent damage absorption and even more offence. The Triumph synergy skill should be maxxed out as well and will debuff nearby enemies' physical damage, physical resistance and stun resistance. This will mean you'll take even less damage from them, your attacks will do even more damage to them and your stuns (from concussive blow and war horn) will be resisted less.
Battle Standard has a cooldown of 60s and only lasts 36s when it's maxxed. If you can get some recharge reduction then this will allow you to get it out more often. Also, as it's stationary, you may need to lure enemies towards it to get full advantage. There's a noticeable difference between it being out or not.
War Wind

War Wind is an another charge attack. It has a 360% degree arc but does terrible damage unless you drop tons of points into it. The base skill hits four targets at the beginning through and the Lacerate synergy skill will let you hit additional targets and add a bleed. It's a bit redundant when you already have Shield Charge which I think is the far superior option overall. I would suggest passing on War Wind and using the points elsewhere.
Ancestral Horn

Pretty effective with only a single point. Summon a trio of spectral minions to help fight for you. It has a long cooldown so will mostly be used for boss fights. The skill synergizes well with Battle Standard. Additional points will make the minions better and increase the number of spectral minions summoned. I only used one point in the build as I had other skills I thought were more important.

Stats


So what should you be dropping your attributes into?Titan
  • Health: You get quite a bit of health just from your mastery points actually. If you feel like adding a bit more, you can add a handful of additional attributes points.
  • Mana: Honestly, you can just buy mana potions. There's no real reason to put points into mana.
  • Strength: Primary stat so you can equip good warrior armour and hit people hard with your 1 hander. 600+
  • Intellect: Not required.
  • Dexterity: Your secondary stat. You need enough to equip your gear at a min and enough so you can hit things and avoid getting crit. ~450 should be fine.

Equipment


As you'll be in the thick of things you'll need to keep your resists up. This can be a bit of a pain in legendary. You can get away without resists in early normal but you'll want to start building them by act 3 and definitely by act 4. By Epic you'll want ~40% to all resists, legendary ~50% at a min if possible.
+4 all skills will allow you to max out ultimate levels on all your vital skills but is less important than getting your resists. If you need more damage just equip a better weapon. Try to max out resists against certain bosses and zones. For example, if you're fighting Cerberus in Act4 you'll want 80% poison as that's basically all his damage except for some physical. Having a few rings in your stash can allow you to change your resists as needed on the fly.
Recharge can let you cast your strong, long cooldown abilities more often. Being able to use Battle Standard, Quick Recovery, Colossus Form and your horns more often is good. Battle standard make you substantially stronger.
You'll burn through your mana fairly quickly using shield attacks but pots are cheap and you should just carry multiple stacks of them instead of worrying about getting mana or regen gear. Health is more useful as if it hits zero you die but still low on the priority list.
When leveling, a green weapon with a good prefix/suffix and socketed with a charm/relic is usually much better than any epics/legendaries for your level.Best
Use whatever good all around shield you have. If you have another shield(s) with good buffs to a certain resistance(s) then you can swap for certain bosses and fights.

Leveling


Defence is pretty nice but a little slow at the start. I'd suggest going with Warfare at the start. Put some points into Onslaught for your LMB attack and so you can build up stacks on it in combat. Drop a point into Weapon Handling and work up the tree. Point into Dodge Attack, War Horn and Battle Standard.
At level 8 you can pick up Defence. Drop a point into Batter for your RMB attack, Battle Awareness and Armour Handling. For the time being leave them at one point and level up your mastery for more stats. Drop a point into Quick Recovery for dealing with groups and Shield Charge to counter ranged.
From this point work your way however you want. +skill items will be very useful early as it will allow you to level the masteries and use the +skill items to bulk the skills for the time being until you have unlocked all the mastery points. Unlocking the masteries will give you access to more abilities and more stats.

Titan Quest: Ragnarok And Titan Quest: Atlantis Review- Modern DLCs For A 14 Year Old Game Is The Best Kind Of Trend

Titan Quest is an isometric hack-and-slash ARPG. Now you might be wondering why we are doing a review for a game released in 2006. For some reason, THQ had the excellent idea of continuing to release content almost a decade after the previous DLC, Titan Quest: Immortal Throne. In 2017 they surprised us all with the sudden release of Titan Quest: Ragnarok, and again in 2019 with Titan Quest: Atlantis. These two DLC expansions add a ton of content, both in the form of extra areas to explore as well as to the base game. With both now having been ported to consoles, THQ has shown that sometimes the old games are just as incredible as the new ones.

The premise of Titan Quest is about what you would expect for a Greek-themed Diablo 2. You play as either a male or female human who finds themselves in the midst of a monster apocalypse, with hordes of all kinds of mythical horrors pouring into the world of man. With the mortal realm having their connection to the realm of the gods severed by a mysterious race of demons called the Telkines, it is up to you to trek across the continent and assist the surviving armies of Greece, Egypt, and China in fighting off the monster hordes.

Of course, the story of Titan Quest is just a medium for giving you a reason to hack and to slash. Building up your character is the main point of this style of game. There are ten different classes, (nine in the base game, Titan Quest: Ragnarok adds the tenth), called “masteries,” for you to choose from. These masteries range from the standard sword and board of Warrior or Defense, to the spell casting variety of Dream or Storm. Each character gains a mastery at level two and another at level eight.

While some masteries have better synergy than others, all combinations are completely viable. Why wouldn’t you want to be a dagger wielding rogue who can summon an earth golem on the side? Each of the classes in Titan Quest has both passive and active skills. All kinds of buffs and auras can be found, and each mastery has their own unique powers. The Nature mastery can summon wolves and briar thorns, the Storm mastery can summon, well, storms, and the Warfare mastery can scream so loud it buffs everyone’s strength and summons the ethereal spirits of ancient champions. Awesome.

Visually, Titan Quest is about what you would expect from a 2007 game at the highest graphics settings. The models are janky, occasionally dogs will have a nice big crease down the middle, and your character’s hands are incapable of properly holding on to weapons, often resting the sword gently on their knuckles. There is little character customization, you can choose the tunic color but that’s about it. That said, most of the game is spent zoomed all the way out, so it still looked fine. The colors are bright and the style is nice. And since it is so visually un-taxing on the PS4, while co-oping both players can go off and do their own thing, since the console is capable of rendering two iterations of the game with only minor occasional framerate drops.

The gameplay of Titan Quest is similar to that of other hack-and-slash ARPGs. You run around from enemy to enemy, hack and often slash, and then gain some XP and pick up whatever equipment they may have dropped. In typical Diablo fashion, the gear is ranked by rarity (albeit using different colors) and you can find artifacts to attach to your equipment in order to add more stats. You know the deal.

I played the PS4 version of Titan Quest, and unfortunately it did have some issues. Unlike the PC version which I have played extensively years back, the aiming mechanics for Titan Quest are imperfect. Since you don’t have a mouse, the console port has a sort of auto aim, which can be overridden by holding the attack button and aiming in the direction of your desired target. However, this often can target the wrong enemy, doubly so if you’re trying to attack a target who is chasing your ally. In this regard I might recommend you play it on a computer, though my co-op partner and I got used to this unusual system fairly easily.

So Whats The Definite(best) Build For Going Through All ...

Titan Quest: Ragnarok is the biggest of the three expansions, adding not only an enormous high level fifth act to the game, but also an entirely new class. As the name suggests, Ragnarok is a nordic themed expansion. The story of this DLC is something about the Celtic monsters and Asgardians, nothing you don’t already have in mind. But the real meat of Ragnarok is a new class, the Runemaster, and the addition of throwing weapons. I made my character a Runemaster who specialized in elemental throwing knives, and it was beyond incredible. The skills of the Runemaster mastery would pair well with any of the classes, but it almost feels as though thrown weapons were in mind. Dual wielding thrown weapons with a skill that increased throwing the more I threw, and a special move that launched 10 of my lighting knives in a shotgun pattern was capable of clearing entire groups of monsters. The most daring addition that comes with Ragnarok is giving your characters the ability to wear pants. This expansion is worth it for the new class, weapons, and pants alone. The nordic levels are just a massive beautiful pile of icing on the cake.

Best Class Build Titan Quest

The same cannot be said for Titan Quest: Atlantis. This expansion adds a campaign that takes you around the Mediterranian, a “wave-based challenge” called Tartarus Endless Mode, as well as one final tier of skills for each mastery. While I thoroughly enjoyed this DLC, and Atlantis featured the most interesting areas, unfortunately, it was the buggiest part of my playthrough. Textures would frequently not load, enemies would pop in and out in the presence of some active skills, and in one game breaking instance, the framerate went to sub-1fps during the Tartarus Endless Mode, requiring us to relaunch the game. While it is certainly playable and does add a ton of new content, Titan Quest: Atlantis is the shortest and weakest addition to the game.

Best Class In Titan Quest Guide

Titan Quest: Immortal Throne already turned the original game into an incredible ARPG, but Titan Quest: Atlantis and Titan Quest: Ragnarok make it a masterpiece of a throwback. While the game is still rough around the edges, Titan Quest and its DLCs are an incredible amount of fun. If you’re a fan of this style of game, definitely give it a shot.
