Torchlight: Infinite Bing Two Build Guide: 5 Trillion DPS & SS20 Endgame Setup

Summary

This guide walks through a powerful Bing Two build that has reached approximately 5 trillion DPS in Torchlight: Infinite. Whether you're preparing for SS20 content or just looking to push your damage to new heights—perhaps even considering whether to buy Torchlight: Infinite Flame Elementium to accelerate your gearing—this article covers the key upgrades, talent tree decisions, gear choices, and defensive considerations that made this possible.

1. Build Overview & Performance

The Bing Two build is described as:

Extremely fast and "zippy" – high mobility makes mapping feel smooth

Highly scalable – each small upgrade yields noticeable damage gains

One of the most fun builds of the current season, sitting comfortably in the top five builds played so far

At the time of this update, the build sustained ~5 trillion DPS over a 42-second window, even without actively maintaining mobility buffs. This makes it more than capable of handling SS20 content with further optimizations.

2. Talent Tree Adjustments

Attack & Cast Speed Nodes

Points were invested into nodes that provide both attack speed and cast speed. These stats are especially valuable because:

They contribute to Spell Burst charge speed

They get scaled further by:

Play Safe (provides additional scaling)

Insatiable Greed – converts 100% of attack speed bonuses into Spell Burst charge speed

Fixed a Common Oversight

One point was removed from a node that had been incorrectly read. The node applied to elemental damage in a way that didn't benefit the build, so it was dropped for better options.

3. Defensive Shift – Sentinel Over Leech

A major defensive pivot was made:

Sentinel was chosen as the primary defensive layer instead of relying on leech

Sentinel provides:

Massive block chance (attack and spell block)

Energy Shield (ES) regain

Access to key block-related nodes in the tree

Why This Change?

Insatiable Greed seals 10% mana, which complicates fitting Energy Shield into the life pool without leech

Sentinel offers comparable survivability while allowing for better block stacking

The build now sits at ~4.2k ES (3.7k without buffs), which is considered sufficient for SS20 mechanics

Note: SS20 features many avoidable attacks, but having a solid defensive baseline helps survive the occasional unavoidable swipe when positioning around bombs.

4. Aura Setup

The build uses a mix of mana- and life-based auras:

This setup trades the defensiveness of Energy Fortress for a significant offensive boost, which fits the build's high-DPS philosophy.

5. Hero Memories (Relics)

Two Hero Memories were selected with synergies in mind:

Memory 1

Attack Speed – 66% of this gets converted to Spell Burst cast speed via Insatiable Greed

Spell Block Chance

Critical Strike Damage (incidental useful roll)

Memory 2

Max Energy Shield

Attack & Cast Speed (fixed)

Spell Critical Strike Damage

Both were acquired with Tier 0 rolls at a reasonable cost (~2.5k FE), making them excellent value for the power they provide.

6. Vorax Ring Crafting

A custom Vorax ring was crafted (video guide available separately). Key points:

The ring has one dead mod but is otherwise very strong

It was crafted to work with the Double Rainbow mechanic

Double Rainbow Resistance Management

Double Rainbow requires all elemental resistances to have identical values (e.g., all at 67%). This makes resistance tuning critical:

Resistances must be exact values, not just capped

Upper limit example: if you're at 67%, you cannot exceed it unless all three are equally above cap (e.g., 68/68/68)

Micro-fates were used extensively to fix resistances to the precise required numbers

Free Saints (Blessings)

Upgrading Free Saints required careful attention to rolls:

One blessing needed a 33% or lower roll to avoid needing additional max ally resistance from other sources

7. Boots – Praetorian's & Defensive Layers

Boots were upgraded to include:

Fist of Havoc (cold base effect) – chosen specifically for SS20 survivability

Fizz defense – important for tanking the SS20 swipe mechanic

Hasten – provides attack speed, cast speed, movement speed, and mobility cooldown recovery

Again, attack/cast speed scale Spell Burst charge speed from both sources

Deflection is being considered as a replacement for additional energy shield while moving, as it provides a harder defensive layer

Despite a low roll on Spell Burst charge speed, the boots were kept for now due to exact resistance requirements (lightning res had to be exactly 32%).

8. Lore of Greed Upgrade

The Lore of Greed was upgraded to include:

Damage per stack of max Spell Burst – up to 400%

Chance to avoid ally elements – maintaining cap

Warning: Lore of Greed can roll projectile speed. This build is not a projectile build, so ensure you select the correct damage affix.

9. What's Next? – Planned Upgrades

Short-Term

Level 5 skills – each provides ~20% additional damage; relatively low-cost upgrade

Level 21 support gems – across the build

Medium-Term

Tier 0 mods on all gear – especially boots (fire skill level) to free up a slate slot

Replace weak slates with:

Tenacity Blessings on barrier

Additional damage when sealed mana and life are present

Long-Term

Kismets (medium slots) – still to be evaluated for best options

Divine Grace – planned defensive layer

Storm Break upgrade – aiming for 2% additional per free one or higher fixed rating

10. Final Thoughts & Community

This build is currently pre-SS20 but is expected to clear SS20 comfortably with the planned upgrades. The author notes that the build is likely to reach SS20 within the same play session and may gain one more level for extra skill points. If you're looking to fast-track your own progression, keep an eye out for Torchlight: Infinite Flame Elementium for sale—it can be a great way to skip some of the grinding and get your hands on high-tier crafting materials sooner.
