Forcefield
Forcefield color

Forcefield is an active Engineer skill in Torchlight II. It belongs to the Aegis Skill Tree and is available starting at level 7.

Description[]

"Your armor projects Ember energy, creating a forcefield around you, and a half-strength forcefield around allies. Once the forcefield absorbs its maximum damage it dissipates, removing all benefits.
Forcefield uses all available Charges to increase damage absorption by 50% per Charge."

When you activate this skill, which has a cooldown of 8 seconds, the Engineer generates a glowing blue shield around themselves and any allies within a few meters. This shield lasts for 30 seconds, absorbing damage from most sources. Effect damage, such as from being burned or poisoned is not absorbed, but generic fire or poison damage is.

Tier I Bonus:
Mana cost and casting time are reduced by 20%

Tier II Bonus:
Allies receive a full strength shield.

Tier III Bonus:
Mana cost and casting time are reduced by 50%

Strategy[]

  • Combined with some method of quickly generating charge, such as with Dynamo Field, Forcefield becomes an incredible skill.
    • With sufficient mana regeneration, charge production and good management, Forcefield can be kept up continuously, making all allies invulnerable to all but the most catastrophic attacks.
    • Do keep in mind, however, that being burned or poisoned does damage that bypasses the Forcefield.
