Titan Quest II Dev Diary: Introducing the Rogue Mastery

February 28, 2025

Munich, Germany / Vienna, Austria - February 28th, 2025: As we approach the highly anticipated Early Access launch of Titan Quest II, the dev team at Grimlore Games has been hard at work refining the initial content while also preparing what’s to come. Today, we’re excited to share a surprise that we think will make the wait even more worthwhile. Previously, we announced that Titan Quest II would launch with the Warfare, Earth, and Storm masteries. But what’s better than three masteries? You guessed it: Four masteries! The Rogue mastery will be available right from the start!

The Rogue mastery is built around three core pillars:

  • Precision – Every ability in this mastery is designed for accuracy, striking exactly where intended.
  • Preparation – Rogues can apply specialized coatings to their weapons, setting up devastating combos through ailments and debuffs.
  • Evasion – Rather than brute force, success comes from outmaneuvering foes, striking from the shadows before they can react.


Rogue skills are designed to complement one another and create high-impact moments when used strategically. Here are a few highlights:

  • Lethal Strike – A signature Rogue ability that delivers a massive damage multiplier to a single target. If the target is killed, the cooldown resets, allowing for rapid execution of weakened enemies. When paired with the “Flow” status, bonus damage is applied. Modifiers include additional poison explosions, HP percentage damage, and increased damage to marked targets.
  • Mark for Death – A marking ability that enables various interactions and debuffs, dealing a portion of damage as vitality damage. When combined with skills like Lethal Strike, this ability creates deadly synergies, such as summoning shadow daggers or triggering explosive poison effects.
  • Flicker – A teleport skill that deals piercing damage to the target, ideal for glass cannon builds. It can grant Flow, reduce cooldowns, and even become an offensive tool with the right modifiers.
  • Preparation – A passive aura that boosts poison and physical damage at the cost of reserved energy. Modifiers enhance ailment application, critical hit chances, and even convert weapon damage to poison or pierce. Shadow daggers can also be summoned upon critical hits.


Synergies and Playstyle
While the Rogue mastery is focused on damage output and mobility, its limited defenses make cross-mastery combinations essential. Depending on your second mastery, you can enhance survivability or amplify offensive capabilities. For instance, Earth and Storm masteries pair well, allowing Rogues to scale elemental damage through the Knowledge attribute. By stacking poison damage, marking enemies, applying Flow with Flicker, and executing Lethal Strike, Rogues can unleash devastating chain reactions that clear the battlefield with precision.
