You can actually throw glaives just like everyone else, but that’s not what makes this build special.
Here’s what you do: pump Focus like crazy, like you would if you were running a Glaive build. So normally, weapon skills are the sole purview of those sad little Str/Dex split Outlanders that don’t want to make a Focus/Glaive build like everyone else but have to deal with the mechanical inferiority of a high Dex requirement or sub-par weapons. Furthermore, high level guns require a ridiculous amount of Dexterity to use, and that much Dexterity is a big hindrance in your ability to kill things.
Skills like Chaos Burst and Shadowshot scale damage off of your weapon and require you to have a gun, which means that under normal circumstances you’d need to pump your Strength like crazy to get anything decent out of them (or use a purely elemental weapon and pump Focus, but those are extremely rare). So long as you have that weapon in your left hand, you can use the skill and it will calculate the damage using the right-hand weapon. Damage is based entirely on the weapon in your right hand, even if the skill you want to use requires a different type of weapon. The key discovery that makes this work is in how skill damage is calculated from your weapons when dual-wielding. But I have found something that makes it possible for you to do everything and not suck at all of it in the process. They split their points between Strength and Focus and end up worthless as monster armor outstrips their ability to do damage.
A lot of people who don’t know what they’re doing have attempted this sort of thing. I have found the Holy Grail of Outlander builds a hybrid style combining the damage of a heavy Focus build with the ability to use weapon skills like Chaos Burst, Shadowshot, and Poison Burst. I know I told some people I was going to post my shootylander build next, but I came upon something so utterly bizarre in my testing that I had to make a build around it. Death Ritual (15 Skill Points): The passive power up for your Shadowlings, it increases their damage and summon duration.Torchlight 2 Outlander Hybrid Build Guide by Empyrean.The skill complements with Death Ritual passive.
