Torchlight Infinite Reddit - Ranged Play Experience

As I've been playing Torchlight Infinite, I've come to realize how it feels like to play a ranged character for the first time. The melee range has allowed me to essentially 'kite' bosses, which is quite an experience. With the AoE and auto-targetting feature, bosses can still have huge area of effects/area denials, but I don't feel too penalized.

One of the unique aspects of Torchlight Infinite is that there are no traditional single target strike skills in melee. All melee skills are AOE, with generous radii. This means you can invest in increased AoE and it can be very beneficial.

Another aspect to consider is the trigger setup. While it's similar to PoE's aura system, the three slots for auras in Torchlight Infinite provide a more balanced approach. Trigger skills are also balanced via two methods: long cooldowns and the ability to reserve mana similarly to how an aura reserves mana.

One of the key differences between Torchlight Infinite and PoE is the way trigger skills work. In TLI, all your trigger skills link to all active skills that could trigger it, without requiring any linking of the main skill to the trigger skills. This makes it simpler and provides an elegant way to limit players from going overboard with too many skills.

In Torchlight Infinite, you have three dedicated aura slots, which is different from PoE's approach where aura stackers exist. In traditional ARPGs/MMOs, auras are limited to a few at a time, encouraging players to party up with others to get more benefits. In PoE, traditionally, there was one major aura plus one minor aura.

Overall, Torchlight Infinite offers a unique and balanced experience for melee characters, with plenty of opportunities to experiment with different trigger setups and skills.
