OedipusTex: The “Theolentist” is a blend of a scientist and a Priest style character. What is the is Theolentist class? Can you tell us what you’re trying to achieve etc? Incgamers: I’m sure they know who they are :). The tool was created by a very helpful community member who wanted to give us the ability to edit files prior to the release of GUTS.

As I am writing you, I am editing the particle effects for a few spells using a Layout editor tool. The Biology tree is the next to get some major work done to it. OedipusTex: The Theolentist is still in it’s alpha stage, meaning large updates are happening pretty regularly, including the occasional total rewrite of a power. Incgamers: What are you currently working on right now? But I think old City of Heroes players will be able to see the stamp of where that game heavily influenced the design of the Theolentist.

Along the way, the class shaped itself into something unique. The Theolentist began as an experiment to see how difficult it would be to bring in some of the City of Heroes archetypes into Torchlight. My “main” game, City of Heroes, had just announced it was closing its doors. TL2 happened to come on the scene at an opportune time for me. OedipusTex: Building things is always fun! What inspired you to think I’m going to build a Theolenlist class for Torchlight II? Beyond that, the promise of being able to create your own classes was a big draw. It’s even somewhat popular among my non-gamer friends. TL2 is just such a high quality product it was difficult to pass up. OedipusTex: I was always a fan of the Diablo series. Incgamers: How did you first come across the Torchlight series, anything in particular that attracted you to Torchlight 2? This time we got in touch with OedipusTex who shows us his work within the Torchlight II modding community, particularly about his interesting Theolentist class. Hey guys, welcome to the second part of our Torchlight II mod spotlight series! Previously we talked with the SynergiesMOD team, please check it out if you haven’t already done so.
