The launch of Torchlight
is fast approaching, and so far, we've gotta' say, it looks pretty damn
good. With that in mind, Perfect World Entertainment recently sent us
some pics of the classes, and a little bit of class description.
Whether you choose the dual-wielding Destroyer, the fast ranged action
of the Vanquisher, or the Ember-channeling Alchemist, the game's
definitely worth a peek come October.
The Destroyer
An endless wanderer, who is drawn to conflict with his dual-wielding
blades, was led to Torchlight after hearing of the evils befallen it.
Through channeling the power of his ancestors, the Destroyer excels at
close-quarter combat and is able to smite his foes with such ferocity
as to easily dispatch multiple enemies at once. With a strong sense of
virtue, the Destroyer sets out to deal justice with his blades, but
things may not be as simple in Torchlight as they appear.
With a darkness rising to cloud the Destroyer’s judgment,
only time will tell whether or not the draw of Ember will tempt his
soul into corruption.

The Vanquisher
Part of an ancient order dedicated to justice and bringing balance to
the world, the Vanquisher was sent out to Torchlight to investigate the
mysterious slayings and missing town folks. Unknown to her, the
darkness below the small town of Torchlight runs far deeper than the
mines beneath. As an expert marksman, the Vanquisher is able to take
enemies from afar as well as use traps to confuse and deliberate her
foes from all directions.
The flow of Ember and the darkness below will test the
Vanquisher’s skill and conviction to the fullest.
The Alchemist
Drawn to the power of Ember as a cornerstone of his magical art, the
Alchemist came to Torchlight for his own ends. Being the largest cache
of Ember ever found, the temptation may lead the Alchemist never being
able to break free of its influence and ultimately to his downfall. The
power of Ember is beyond imagining, but the price is very
high.
By channeling the power of Ember, the Alchemist is able to dispatch
enemies from afar as well as summon minions to his aid.
