Learn how weapon speed affects damage and casting speed in Titan Quest 2. Discover how relics and charms can enhance your combat.
Weapons in Titan Quest 2 possess a speed attribute that significantly impacts combat. Generally, faster weapons deal less damage, while slower weapons inflict more. This balance can be manipulated using relics and charms, which can either increase weapon speed or boost damage output.
For characters specializing in dual-wielding, equipping two fast weapons can result in a higher overall damage output over time compared to using a single slow weapon. Relics are not solely for adding attack attributes; they can also enhance your offensive capabilities or increase your attack speed, potentially bringing a slow weapon up to an average speed.
A strategic approach to counter the drawbacks of a slow weapon involves slowing down your enemies. Bonuses that reduce monster movement or attack speed are highly valuable. These effects can decrease the damage you receive and allow you to deal more damage within the same timeframe. Consider the synergy of a slow enemy attack combined with a very fast weapon for a melee character.
- Use relics and charms to fine-tune weapon speed and damage.
- Dual-wielding two fast weapons can be more effective than one slow weapon.
- Slowing down enemies can mitigate the disadvantages of using a slow weapon.
- Look for bonuses that reduce enemy attack or movement speed.
