Torchlight 2 has also added CTRL-click, which does nothing at all unless you click on an attackable object or enemy, at which point you attack it in whatever fashion your weapons make appropriate: melee-folks will head in to smack it while ranged folks will shoot it. Can sometimes be a double-edged sword, if (as I do) you hold down the mouse on a target in order to keep attacking it until it dies, and the target wanders away from you. Your character will follow to keep it in range, ignoring the fact that there may be a few dozen other monsters swarming around between you and it who you currently aren't killing, and who are all perfectly willing to chomp on you while you're chasing down that one guy.
Use every tool in moderation, is probably the lesson here. Stuff is useful under specific circumstances, but probably shouldn't be used in others. Common sense.

Oh. So that's what it was. I just dismissed it as useless after seeing it in the control layout. Still won't be using it but it's good to know.

Dislike how rifles are no longer in the game, but I'm okay with that, because shotgonnes are amazing. So much utility and crowd control. Just need to find blood ember specks to ensure that my outlander doesn't die with every other hit.
