Titan Quest II introduces the Crit Trick Shot Ashstalker in their newest Dev Diary

Munich, Germany / Vienna, Austria - July 3rd, 2025: As we eagerly await the Early Access launch of Titan Quest II, the developers are offering a deeper look into the game’s unique dual-mastery system through a series of build showcases. First up: the “Crit Trick Shot Ashstalker,” a devastating combination of the Rogue and Earth masteries, tailored for players who crave critical hits, precise disruption, and explosive crowd control.

In this build, players lean heavily into the Trick Shot skill from the Rogue tree — a piercing, fast projectile designed to snipe channeling enemies and deliver devastating critical damage. By customizing Trick Shot with Modifiers like Interrupt, Counter, and Enhanced Critical Hit, Ashstalkers can cancel enemy abilities, apply punishing debuffs, and trigger supercharged critical strikes.

Complementing this setup is the Earth mastery, offering powerful AOE support through Roiling Magma, a fireball attack enhanced with Overwhelm and Enhanced Ailment to burn down mobs. Players also benefit from two powerful auras — Preparation and Earth Enchantment — which synergize to boost both physical and fire damage.

To round out the build, passive skills such as Accuracy and Deft Hands sharpen the Rogue’s lethality, while dual-wielded daggers maximize attack speed and stack Overwhelm quickly. Players are encouraged to experiment with attributes like Agility and Might to fine-tune their damage profile depending on their playstyle.

The Ashstalker’s strategic edge lies in its versatility: control the battlefield with interrupts, single out high-value targets with Mark for Death, and sweep away weaker foes with charged fireballs — all while maintaining a deadly crit-based playstyle.
