However, in the mid and end game you will have enough Focus and mana that you can use Rapid Fire exclusively, rather than occasionally using basic attacks when low on mana. This is an early game skill, but it will eat your mana like crazy, so be sure to always have plenty of mana potions on hand. With the proper gear, enchantments and gems, you should end up with at least 125 Vitality. At some levels you may even want to put all 5 points into Vitality until you reach 75. Vitality is not too important in the early game, but you will need all of it before completing your first run through all the acts. It also increases the odds of surviving more than just one hit by hero mobs and bosses in the endgame. The extra Vitality helps to boost armor value and elemental resistances. The sooner you reach 80 Focus, the easier it will be to maintain constant attacks without needing to use mana potions. You’re going to need plenty of mana starting from the very beginning, so you should almost always put at least 1 or 2 points into Focus each level until you reach 80 points. With 2 or 3 mana regen gems, it’s unlikely you will need to use mana potions very often unless you suffer from a mana drain attack.

Since natural mana regen is based on the total amount of mana you have, a high focus will help quickly fill up your mana after a series of attacks. Near the endgame you should have at least 300 mana points. This build is extremely mana dependent, and its main skills also benefit from increased magic damage. You want to have most of your Dex points by the end of the third act (early/mid 50’s level) so you can use the highest level pistols possible for the final boss. You need to put quite a few points into this stat early in order to use higher level pistols, but later you can have just 1 point per level. With the proper gear you will still get even more crits. Because this build has such a fast attack speed due to the Rapid Fire skill, even a mediocre crit chance % means you will still get plenty of critical hits. It’s tempting to put more points into Dexterity, but it’s really not necessary.

Strength is what determines the amount of extra crit damage, and most of the stat points should go into Strength and Focus in the early game.

This is a ranged dps build, so Strength is the main skill here. If you enjoy watching hordes of mobs simultaneously explode into clouds of poison, then this is the build for you! If you’ve never watched The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, then you are required to watch that before reading this guide. This build is tons of fun, and it has several good defensive and offensive skills. It does not rely on glaives or Venomous Hail to do its dirty work. This is a pure Outlander dual pistol build. Torchlight 2 Outlander Pistoleer Guide by TheMasterBlaster
