Hey there! So, you're looking into the Dispatch pistol, huh? It's a pretty unique Legendary item in Torchlight 2, and while it's not exactly a 'consumable' or 'potion' in the traditional sense, it's definitely something you'll want to know about if you're aiming for top-tier gear. ### About the Dispatch This pistol was added back in patch 1.22.x.40, and it's one of only seven Legendary Pistols in the game. It's a Level 105 item, but here's the kicker: you need Level 101 to equip it, or a whopping 486 Dexterity. Reaching Level 101 usually requires mods, so most players will have to rely on that Dexterity stat. If your build is more focused on Strength or Focus, this can be a bit of a hurdle. You might need to look for gear or socketed items that boost your Dexterity or reduce stat requirements. Here's a quick rundown of what Dispatch offers: * Damage: 917 Damage per Second (but don't let that number fool you!) * Attack Speed: Very Fast (.72 seconds) * Damage Type: 440-880 Physical Damage * Sockets: 2 Empty Sockets * Bonuses: * +4% Critical Hit Chance * 5% increase in magic-finding Luck * +5m to Bow, Crossbow, Pistol, and Wand range * 1% chance to cast Fully Heal Self on kill * Conveys 5880 Physical Damage over 3 seconds * Requirements: Level 101 or Dexterity 486 * Flavor Text: Long Lost Legendary Pistol! ### Strategy and Usage The real power of Dispatch isn't just its listed DPS. That 5880 Physical Damage over 3 seconds is HUGE. However, it's important to know that this damage-over-time effect isn't factored into the damage calculations for skills like Rapid Fire or Venomous Hail. This means Dispatch shines brightest in auto-attack builds, where its raw damage and the DoT can really rack up. Another massive advantage is the +5m range increase. This lets you stay much safer while peppering enemies from afar. If you can manage to get your hands on *two* Dispatch pistols (which is incredibly rare, by the way!), you can attack enemies from almost the very edge of the screen. That's some serious battlefield control! So, while it's not a potion you drink, the Dispatch is a legendary weapon that can seriously change how you play. Good luck getting one!
