Charge (or the Charge Bar) is a game mechanic introduced in Torchlight II. During combat, players build up temporary charge energy that can be spent to activate specialized abilities. Charge builds up as the player damages enemies and decreases over time. The charge bar appears near the bottom of the screen, above the skill bar.

Powers fueled by charge vary by character class. [1]

Berserkers[]

Berserker Charge Bar

Berserkers with a full Charge Bar enter a "Frenzy" state, triggered by the first critical hit they inflict while the bar is full. This state lasts for a few seconds. In this state, all attacks against the Berserker's Primary targets become critical hits, and they gain increased Critical Hit chance against Area of Effect (AoE) targets.  Additionally, movement speed is increased (by 15% ).

Embermages[]

Embermages with a full Charge Bar immediately enter a "total concentration" state for twelve seconds, during which their skills cost no mana to cast and all of their offensive skills gains a 25% damage bonus on top of any other bonuses that already apply.

Engineers[]

Engineer Charge Bar

Engineers have the most complex Charge Bar system, directly influencing and influenced by their Skills. Their Charge Bar is marked with five "pips", spaced evenly along its length. When the Engineer has one or more charge pips filled, some of their class skills drain these pips to produce more powerful effects. Some other skills merely become more powerful with each subsequent Charge pip without actually draining them.

The Engineer's Charge is the quickest to build, primarily because certain skills drain it in exchange for their bonus effects.

Outlanders[]

Charge outlander

Outlander Charge Bar

Outlanders' Charge Bar grants a percent bonus on Casting Speed, Dodge Chance, Critical Hit Chance, and Attack Speed. The bonus ranges from 0% to 10% to each Stat, and is proportional to how much of the Charge Bar is filled. Additionally, when the Outlander's Charge Bar is empty, their next attack will inflict additional damage, and is guaranteed to stun the first enemy it hits.

Of the four, the Outlander's Charge takes the longest to build.
