Joined Force Torchlight Infinite

The "Joined Force" modifier in Torchlight Infinite offers a unique take on dual wielding, presenting both tactical advantages and a distinct playstyle shift. Here's a breakdown of its effects:

Key Features:

  • Deactivates Off-Hand Attacks: While dual wielding, your off-hand weapon no longer performs its own attacks. This deviates from the standard dual-wielding mechanics where both weapons contribute actively.
  • Damage Transfer: Instead of attacking with your off-hand, 65% of its damage is added to your main-hand weapon's damage. This essentially boosts the overall power of your main-hand strikes.

Tactical Considerations:

  • Synergy with Main-Hand Skills: This modifier shines with main-hand skills that benefit from increased damage rather than attack speed or other secondary effects of your off-hand weapon.
  • Focus on Single-Target Damage: The boosted main-hand strikes excel at focusing power on individual enemies, potentially leading to high single-target DPS.
  • Managing Utility Skills: Since your off-hand isn't actively attacking, utilize its skill slot for utility skills that offer buffs, debuffs, or defensive bonuses to complement your main-hand damage focus.

Potential Drawbacks:

  • Loss of Attack Speed: This modifier might not suit builds that rely heavily on fast attack speed or dual-wielding specific skills that require both weapons to be active.
  • Reduced AoE Effectiveness: Sacrificing the off-hand weapon's attacks can potentially lower your area-of-effect damage compared to standard dual wielding.
  • Requires Active Off-Hand Skills: While not attacking directly, choosing an off-hand skill with valuable utility effects is crucial to make the most of this modifier.

Recommendations:

  • Consider Builds: Analyze your build and chosen skills to see if they benefit more from the damage boost of "Joined Force" or the attack speed and synergy of standard dual wielding.
  • Off-Hand Utility Skills: Prioritize off-hand skills that offer impactful buffs, debuffs, or defensive benefits to compensate for the lack of direct attacks.
  • Gear Selection: Look for gear that further enhances your single-target damage focus and complements your chosen off-hand utility skill.

Ultimately, "Joined Force" offers a strategic alternative to standard dual wielding. Analyze your build, playstyle, and desired combat approach to determine if this modifier can unlock a powerful single-target focus in your Torchlight Infinite adventure!
