Torchlight 2: The Ultimate Engineer Summoner Build Guide (Patch 1.25+)

Introduction: Why a Summoner Engineer?

  2. Pet & Minion Armor: Helps your Sledgebot survive bosses.
  3. Cast Speed: Lets you deploy all 7+ summons faster.
  4. Mana / Mana Regen: Summoning is mana-intensive.
  5. Vitality / Health / Resistances: Your personal tankiness.

Community consensus on stats for a summoner is mixed, but two main paths exist:

Core skills and progression (typical priority)

Farming & sources
