Just one more shard... and this time better be the bonus i need!



My new amulet for epic difficulty



Full level of farming the pig - 3 points in Storm

I took out the one point in Regrowth - i don't have much use for it with only one point and right now i can't invest more in it, there's more urgent skills to get. I invested the point in the Storm tree



Son of a bitch! 25% chance - MY ASS! I will never believe the item database ever again. It's lies, it's all lies!



At least this is good - stashed!

Very nice!



Using...



Oh thank god, it's finally over! Now normal difficulty is complete... unless i have to go back for a relic that is missing for a crafting recipe... i hope i don't have to, i'm sick of normal

Resistances at the start of Epic - piercing is scary. Bleeding resistance won't become relevant anytime soon, oh though there are some early game enemies with bleeding attacks to watch out for. I've also moved all uncompleted relics and charms into the shared stash, to open space for the epic relics



I already killed the shaman too, the pets got the epic scaling and are superfast now, they also have more health and deal more damage. I need to find a good green leg armor to add that Epona's Horses relic, the vendors is a good place to start looking for that. The first two acts should be easy enough, it's once again the last 3 acts that will test my build, which at least gives me time to gain some more levels and acquire better gear... It's not impossible to get some legendaries too, but it's highly unlikely to find something that will fit my class... legendary items just don't drop very often in epic... at least before Typhon. I guess we'll see.

I will clear every corner of the map, enter every dungeon, every cave and open every chest or lootable, even the bone piles... I don't plan on farming any bosses, except the Telkine, and that is if the Minotaur Lord is safe to fight. I wish i could farm Talos, but the pets probably won't last against his heavy elemental attacks



One skill point from killing Nessus - invested in Storm

The Boar Snatcher wasn't a problem, his chest didn't drop anything good



Level 49 - 2 points in Storm, 1 point in Summon Wisp. Right now the Wisp is useless but the next level i will start maxing out its synergy. Poisoned Spring quest completed for the permanent health boost



First legendary item drops earlier that i would've guessed, from a small chest outside Megara... but it's a thrown weapon!

The same shit happened to my conqueror, the first two legendaries on that character were both thrown weapons. Well, a thrown character is in the future plans, lets if these items will drop so easily on him... unlikely.



There's a very powerful enemy hero that sometimes spawns in the random cave after the Arachnos Queen boss fight... i never fight him in normal because he's very strong and dangerous for starting characters. He wasn't a problem now...



I have terrible luck with staves this whole playthrough

Level 50 - 3 points in Eye of the Storm. It also provides some resistances which is always nice. It's a duration aura, but Wisp re-casts the skill almost immediately as it expires, so it'll up during combat 99% of the time when i max it. What's even better, with my +skills gear i can summon a level 3 Wisp, which has 100% dodge chance and is almost immortal, so i don't worry about his survivability





You can't be serious... i'm either getting great strength based gear, or great Intelligence gear for other types of casters - i'll use it for pet summoning at least.

I've completed an epic Valor of Achilles inside a cheap weapon, to get the attack speed completion bonus. Now i can take it out for a cheaper price...



Weapon upgraded



The Gorgons were super easy this time

This tomb has a lot going on



Level 51- 3 points in Eye of the Storm



Alastor died in seconds this time with all the debuffs i threw at him
