Battlemage Melee Embermage (2020) | Torchlight 2 | Tarroch's Tomb

Battlemage Melee Embermage gameplay in Tarroch's Tomb (NG+2 Veteran)

I've always wanted to build a "battlemage" Embermage with Magma Mace and Frost Phase as the primary spammable skill set. What makes Magma Mace special is that it also triggers life and mana steal effects. It allows the melee Embermage to stand toe-to-toe with high level champions, provided they don't one-shot the Embermage.

In the beginning I had doubts about its viability given that Magma Mace is the only melee-oriented skill available to the Embermage.

My breakthrough came when I realized that I should build it like an Emberquake Engineer. Emberquake is the Engineer's area-of-effect fire skill with fissures that seek out enemies. Looking at the Embermage's skill tree, Blazing Pillar fills that role nicely. It'll allow my Embermage to finish off enemy stragglers that are trying to flee, as well as engage higher level champions.

Hailstorm and Firestorm help debuff and soften enemies, whilst Thunder Locus and Blazing Pillar act as force multipliers.

Hailstorm and Blazing Pillar have high chances of freezing and burning enemies, so maxing out both Ice Brand and Fire Brand makes sense. Excess skill points are dumped into Lightning Brand.

Lastly, Ice Prison helps keep champions in check.
