Torchlight III Introduces New Hero Class Sharpshooter

Torchlight III which was rebranded from the original Torchlight Frontiers title, and is now getting a new class called Sharpshooter. This new class added to the Action-RPG mixes careful precision skills with a range weapon, plus magical trinkets, letting you attack enemies from a distance. This latest addition is featured in the current Closed Alpha on Steam and will be available for players worldwide when the game launches later this year on PC.

Sharpshooter has a number of ranged skills including Scatter Shot which deploys bursts of projectiles that deal a cone damage range, and Loyal Shasta which is a spirit wolf that deals weapon damage as well as taunts enemies. You check out the skills below:

Scatter Shot – Use your weapon and do a short range, wide cone burst of projectiles, each dealing damage. Holding it down increases the damage.
Heart Seeker – Fire a piercing arrow that knocks enemies back and does weapon damage on hit and leaves them bleeding.
Targeted Strikes – Fire three piercing shots each dealing weapon damage. Each successive hit to the same target deals extra damage.
Scout’s Bones – Summon an ancient rat spirit swam that moves slowly, piercing targets for damage and leaves them poisoned.
Sacrifice to Goose – Call down the great spirit of a great eagle you call ‘Goose,’ who knocks back enemies and applies damage vulnerability to them.
Loyal Shasta – Summon the spirit of your best friend, Shasta, who deals weapon damage and taunts enemies.
