Titan Quest Anniversary Edition Guide

Titan Quest Character Builds for Titan Quest Anniversary Edition

Titan Quest Character Builds

Overview

With the release of Titan Quest Anniversary Edition comes a large number of brand new TQ players. Veterans of the game would have booted the game and seen with delight that all their previous characters were still here, ready to play. All that grinding, still worth it.However as there are now a fair few brand new TQ players, I decided to get an old forum post dedicated to character builds so that they can experiment and try out ways to play this game.I take absolutely no credit for any of the information in this guide you are about to read, I’m simply placing the information here for newbies to see and read. It all goes to the original creators such as Cassidy back in 2006. Enjoy!

Content guide

Due to the original titanquest forum website being strangely blocked by everyone’s anti-virus software, the guide has been changed to use very well made videos on class builds. Each video is around 5-7 minutes long and the masteries, items and abilities are explained in each one.

All videos were made by YouTuber Matthew Ashworth, and all the credit for the videos goes to him. The class builds however are still from the titanquest forums back in 2006. Again, these builds are all still viable despite the changes and updates made to the anniversary edition.

Thank you for being patient and hopefully these videos help you with your builds, All 36 class builds are now available in this guide, with Runemaster builds being added and updated as they can.

Cheers.

Edit 18 November 2017: With the release of the expansion Ragnarok brings with it a new mastery; the Runemaster. This will increase the number of builds for the game, and I will update this guide as the information becomes available 🙂

Edit 19 November 2017: added in various links to the guides in case video guides aren’t up your alley. I will try to add as many more as I can find to help make it easier to create the character you want.

Edit 23 February 2018: Have added as much info on all the various Runemaster builds as I could find, they are limited at the moment but hopefully it all helps.

Edit 10 March 2018: Linked a new players guide with good builds for the Warden and Haruspex.

*********New Players start here*********

So if you are a brand new player to TQ, then I have linked a very well-written and comprehensive guide for starting the game using one of two builds: The Warden and The Haruspex. Both are fun, powerful and versatile builds that new players can use to familiarise themselves with the game mechanics whilst enjoying themselves. You can still go to the Warden and Haruspex parts of this guide for further information, but the skill-tree explanations and step-by-step progression displayed in the guide linked below are very helpful for someone just starting out.

The Runemaster Mastery and builds

Runemaster mastery has with it a lot of very strong combos with the other masteries, although there are still too few dedicated builds out there, so I have put all the info into one section. Hopefully you find this part helpful, and as I find proper builds and guides then I can add them in.

Stonespeaker (Runemaster and Earth), Seidr Worker (Runemaster and Dream)and Shaman (Runemaster and Spirit) don’t have any dedicated current info as of yet, but I will update as soon as I find any.

That’s about it

That about covers it for the guide, that’s all the builds from the forum back in 2006.
Ten years on and still an incredible game.

Obviously big shout-outs to all of those skilled vets who took the time to post their builds back in the day, still use them now 🙂
Hopefully for new players the builds seen in the forum posts will help you on your playthroughs, but remember nothing’s wrong with experimenting with new and interesting builds, some new ones may pop up later.

Happy Telkine farming!
