There weren't too many potential builds because of only 4 classes and 3 specs but not all of them being super viable, but I did like how clearly they were defined and unique from each other.
My favorite in the end before I was done with the game was Fire mage. I had a bunch of passives stacked up to do a lot of damage over time mixed in with burst with the delayed explosion skill, and it was super fun to play with rain of fire slowing down, grouping shit, then exploding all of them. The funny thing is I made a youtube video of the build back then to show the build in their forums, and I kept getting youtube messages for years after about people asking about it until I deactivated youtube messages. It was funny to think people like 5+years later were still playing TL2, looking at builds and finding my old ass video.

As I mentioned earlier, I am playing through TL2 for the first time. Lvl36 Engineer at the moment, but I cannot get the Outlander out of my head, so I might switch over.

if you want super high damage, spec / gear for high focus and use weapons with glacial spike on hit - that effect does large damage with a small area of effect
the best one being the hammer of retribution TIDBI - Torchlight II Item Database
combine that type of weapon with an attack that includes weapon DPS and hits rapidly - for engineers emberquake is the best - you can use 2 of those maces or mace+shield if you need the blocking
you can use that exact same mace offhand and use pistol mainhand with outlander and the on hit effect will apply to gun skills
the only downside is that it is so powerful it makes almost all other builds seem not worth it
also a thing about outlander - their normal weapon types require dex but its actually strength (or focus if the weapon has elemental damage instead of physical) that scales up the weapon damage inflicted - so you really want only enough dex for equipping gear
also for pretty much all spells, any number listed in addition to weapon dps scales up with focus - ie glaive throw, shattering glaive, sandstorm, cursed daggers

It's hard to not root for a company that comes out with philosophy, especially coming off the heals of such an out of touch Diablo shit storm from Blizzcon.

Yeah, I am all in on this one, probably will end up buying a 3rd PC or laptop just so I can play with both of my kids at the same time.

Well, I'm sold. Loved both original games, and this looks like it is getting a decent amount of polish.

That article also quoted directly selling relics. That could go south real quick if they have a different definition of the point where a convenience sale switches to being pay to win.
