Clex Plays I want to ask you something, you said add some points to health, but i want to really now exactly how much, how much raw life (without any bonus health from armor) do i must have? 5000 health 4500? Please answer thanks

[@clexplays7268]

My only health benchmarks are ~1.5k by normal Babylon, ~5k by end of epic and ~7k by end of Legendary. TBH, having 1000-1200 DA by endgame is more important and sometimes I don't reach my own health benchmarks. These benchmarks are WITH gear. I doubt I ever put more than 10 points into health overall. Attributes are just too tight in this game. Too tight to follow exact numbers, I think.

[@MacPrzy]

Hey, I tried to farm Einherjar's Stand today, I looted like 150 and they all have only burning damage bonus, no shield recharge reduction, no giants damage reduction. Did u ever hear about it? Is it a bug? I really wanted to try this Conqueror build.

[@AlmarWinfield]

Thank you for these videos. I'm a fellow guide writer and there isn't much information out there about Titan Quest (one of the reasons I decided to do guides for it). Your videos have taught me a lot and have definitely made all of my guides for the game better. Stonebinder's Cuffs are a core component of many of my builds thanks to you =D

[@shaqtaku]

come back man....we miss you

[@roberthoogenboezem3301]

Hey Clex, can you update youre builds for titan quest now that there is an new expansion?

[@InvalidShortcut]

AMAZING video, voice, presentation, clarity...TOP NOTCH. Hope you will return.

[@brosiii2558]

most detailed and professional Conqueror Guide.It helped a lot and now i have to respec.. damn..

[@andreidragostin]

Thank you for this. Just got Ragnarok and willing to get back into the fray.

[@OriginWVU]

the best titan quest guides ever!!!! thank you very much... please update your guides for tq atlantis

[@robfold569]

Great vid, as always. I got bored a little with bone charmer at 63 lvl, and was looking for some change of pace and thought about playing a melee class. Also wanted to go with a shield. Was thinking of Defence + Earth or Storm, but after watching, decided to go with the conquer instead. Even though I always prefer long range, playing a melee class should be a fun different experience. Thanks.

[@clexplays7268]

Thank you! Melee can be awkward in this game and in Grim Dawn, but if you can get past that you've got like 100 more builds to play. Conqueror is probably my favorite class.

[@andreidragostin]

Played mage up to level 20, played archer up to 24, tried conqueror, finished the game. I knew this was gonna be fun first time I smacked a satyr with a club and watched him go flying off a cliff

[@a.j.g.1666]

Finally found Valkerie boots ,but not enough int to equip on my conqueror

[@RealGwyddy]

So, seeing you've done a lot of testing and are advicing against farming Xmax with a (Shield)Conqueror, which builds would be your Xmax/Massbosses recommendations? =)

[@falloutpoy]

Hi Clex I was wondering why onslaught is not maxed? I'm playing on mobile. Thanks

[@ruperterskin2117]

Cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChriskOsborne]

Thanks for the video. Was well thought out.

[@ceyhunbilge3705]

Hello I started playing Titan Quest a few months ago and conqueror is without a doubt my favorite class. I wanted to do some limit testing with it however I'm not sure which gear to use for that tbh. Can you suggest me the "perfect" gears for it?

[@akashjeeva7190]

Hi. I am a big fan of ur videos especially the conqueror build. Although in mobile version my character is pretty weak even after following ur charts. Thats coz lack if gears. And i need a favor. Cn u make the skill charts for elementalist and oracle build too. Coz without knowing how to distribute skill pts i am wasting them and the character dies.

[@a.j.g.1666]

Another great video 👍👍👍

[@zmok59]

you don't max out onslaught ? I just started and I was told to max this one asap since it's bread and butter of this class etc I'm surprised

[@coffeebean9498]

You have to max onslaught asap or you almost cant kill bosses

[@Kilrayen]

Not necessary. You could max it out when you're in epic but a couple of points plus maxed out battle standard and one point in triumph makes literally every boss in normal a piece of cake, except maybe surtr because his fight has phases.

[@Lallushe]

Quality videos, thank you!

[@3phop960]

Ultimately, shields are better for phys Conqueror due to huge debuffs procs. I don't really think one could do a Sunday morning run through Achilles difficulty mod dual wielded easily. Also AS cap for dual wield is lower, and tumult skill animation is even slower then the rest. Not even saying about quick recovery and defensive part. While the Hew skill could be great for phys damage, bleeding damage on Cross cut and Tumult are not in synergy with phys damage, it's only a multi target attack. With the Conqueror i was able to take Achilles mod Typhon's 25k melee crits and smile. Also i did facetank Toxeus through his reflect aura. The rest of the bosses were relatively easy even though they were threesome. Lesser creatures could be all over the place, swarming but lifesteal leaves no chance for them.

[@TXHuyIcefrzzy]

Shield passive just "better" than dualwield because it give more defense than dualwield line. Dualwield passive attacks are better at deal more dmg.

[@Lightning_Lance]

@@TXHuyIcefrzzy What I never see people do is use Batter AND Onslaught. If you put Batter on a skillbar slot and just hold down the hotkey while using Onslaught with left mouse button (so hold down both LMB and the Batter hotkey) it will automatically use Batter when off cooldown and otherwise use Onslaught. So it switches between them perfectly, no difficult dextrous clicking required. I haven't played dual wield but I have to assume it cannot compete with the damage output. Another thing I never see people do in these guides is get Shield Charge AND War Wind. Shield Charge is better of course, but why wouldn't you just get both of them so you don't have to wait on the cooldown? Use War Wind if you want to charge to an enemy and Shield Charge is on cooldown. It just takes 1 (or 2) skill points to have that option available.

[@therebelofchaos1674]

@@Lightning_Lance Late, but if no inherited gear, then it would make sense to get both. Once/if you get Myrmidon pendant, it makes no sense because you get war wind for free with it.

[@mariospolyravas5096]

hey there Clex , does this build requires some rework to the current update or we can follow your build as it is ? because it is 4 years old , that why i am asking. btw top notch video mate , voice , explanation , everything

thanks for this 💪🏽 new sub

[@WeirdTroll666]

Thanks!

[@mrblah7420]

Excellent build guide. One thing I'm not sure about, though, is flat armour reduction stacking and would really appreciate your insight. For example, If I used the legendary relics Valor of Achilles + Rage of Ares each with the 202 reduced armour completion bonus, would the total armour reduction be 404? Thank you.

[@thetwinhtut9130]

another great guide afterall ...... i hope u could do Spirit +dream. pure vitality damage build .heeehee

[@TheAiroDynamiK]

hey where does the ichthian shell drop exactly?

[@MrNomis1999]

I'd also really like to know, the database doesn't say

[@TXHuyIcefrzzy]

From melee shield wielding Ichthian mobs at Kaupangr (or similar that), the place you travel to from harbor at Scandia.

[@simplprimate524]

@Clex do you still stream?

[@ΘανάσηςΝίκου-ν8ο]

Could the warfare tree be applied to an Assassin? And focus Rogue as a support mastery

[@TXHuyIcefrzzy]

Yes, but focus on Physical dmg is better because Warfare favor it alot.

[@somato2688]

sir, what about attributes? at level 2, 3, and so on, where do we put in points into? I see that you put most into STR, a little health, and 127 dex. but can you tell me what to put in the early game? like first few levels. why not into health?

[@Arbitrator207]

Lvl 20 build has 0 points in Onslaught?? Seems odd.

[@skatersirian]

Consider that this is a no inheritance progression. You'll be using L12 Batter (with L1 Rend Armor) as LMB until you can get enough points to max out all shield skills in one-go AND put one point in Onslaught.

[@ghettoprinzezz89]

how did you enable damage numbers?

[@djcezcez8120]

COME BACK!

[@jantokar640]

Cool wids, thanx for a tip. Werry fine. :D

[@BigStou]

Dream+Defense is actually better and immortal lol specially if you spec into the shield passives, then the health reduction from dream you become immortal

[@TXHuyIcefrzzy]

Dream doesn't has any skill that deal Heal Reduction effect.

[@Soulfly415]

That might have been a thing back in old days before Anniversary Edition, but there's no such thing as "immortal" in Titan Quest.

[@JuMplK]

cool
