Titan Quest 2's Masteries offer plenty of skills that must be cast on your enemies, and the Spell Rage mechanic can be of great help if you know how to use it properly.
If you're using a magic-based build, Spell Rage will help you maximize your damage potential. However, you have to get access to it first. The use of Spell Rage also has to be pretty selective unless you want to waste it.

What is Spell Rage in Titan Quest 2?
Every caster has specific abilities that they use to dish out damage. Spell Rage is a buff system that allows you to amplify the damage of your abilities. In some ways, this system works in the same fashion as your general Rage meter, but there are some key differences. The first significant difference is that, unlike Rage, Spell Rage has to be unlocked.
How to unlock Spell Rage in Titan Quest 2?
Every skill tree has two major types of nodes to activate when it comes to abilities: active and passive (there are modifiers as well, but those are separate). You'll need to focus on the passive nodes to unlock Spell Rage. The exact node will vary based on what Mastery you're using. But the core process is the same.
The effect of Spell Rage will also vary based on their in-game descriptions. While some of them directly increase the damage, others can stack. Stacking such passives is immensely beneficial, so let's find out how.
How to stack Spell Rage in Titan Quest 2?
Spell Rage, by default, has a cap of 10 stacks. Stacking will improve spell range, damage, and speed. The higher the stacks, the better it gets. However, what happens if your stacks go past 10? Thankfully, they don't waste.
Instead, you'll trigger Overflow, a different mechanic that adds extra effects on certain passives. Do note that you can't be out of combat for long, or the stacks will go to waste.
Best Spell Rage tips and tricks
The Spell Rage mechanic offers a lot of freedom regarding how you want to use it. However, specific tips and tricks will help you to use it more efficiently.
- The best way to increase your stacks is to use low-cost spells. Energy regeneration should be key, as you can cast more spells that way.
- Use Spell Rage especially with spells that have low damage or long casting timers to negate the weaknesses.
- Use abilities that benefit from Overflow, because that will happen frequently.
- Use Spell Rage in tandem with normal Rage, as it will also help you run hybrid builds.
