Chest piece upgrade



Charm socketed in one of the rings for vitality resistance



And a relic in the chest armor for health and lightning resistance... it's the best i can do with what i have available at the moment

I think i'll sacrifice 10% movement speed for that extra piercing resist... i'll swap the relic too



A full level worth of farming the Telkine, and he still hasn't dropped a single formula or a useful item. - 1 point in Plague and its two synergies



I'm worried that the duration of the skill is too short with only 1 point in it, but for now i need to focus on the Storm Skills to get Spell Breaker and Squall

The good thing about Plague is that you cast it on one enemy, and it spreads among nearby foes



The first formula he drops is good for my staff and elemental skills (that i don't have yet) but not for my pets



I'll keep this as a swap amulet for act 4 and the fight with Cerberus, which very worried about

Level up - 3 points in the Storm tree



More health



A bit more Intelligence, i'll take it and swap that Demon's Blood charm

He drops another formula of no use... for a second i thought he was on row for dropping formulas, but i was disappointed in the following runs with only trash drops



Another level - 1 point in Spell Breaker and 2 points in the Storom tree. Spell Breaker disables enemy buff skills, duration skills and auras. It will be perfect for enemies with damage reflection skills like the damn Dragonian Mages from act 3 and of course, Typhon. I think 1 point in the skill is more than enough...



A very nice upgrade. This is where i'll stop for now...

New ring... i'll drop the one with energy on it, i don't need it.



Added a relic to it



And something for the amulet too

Another pet upgrade, i don't care about the intelligence loss



Finally something form Aktaios, but why no elemental resistances on it. I also lose about 300 health... i'll use it for now, but i'll probably use my current bracelet in act 3 (actually, i tried this blue one for just one run and i hated it, so i took it off and stashed it for now)



Level 28 - 3 points in the Storm tree

Life upgrade



Okay... he's dropping formulas again. Last run i got a useless for me, Molten Orb, now this... maybe it's time for the Razor Claw?



Level 29 - 1 point in thr tree, 1 point in Spell Shock for skill disruption and energy drain, and 1 point in Squall.

It's not very impressive with only one point, but i'll say it again - Squall is a fantastic skill, the damage is not that huge, but it fucks up ranged enemies, and its synergy reduces all enemy resistances including physical. From now on i'll be maxing it because i need it at full force



Damage upgrade for the amulet slot



Very nice leg piece for the Cerberus fight, not only does it have poison resist but also 35% less damage from beasts, which is exactly what Cerberus is classified as. I'll use right now as it is better than what i have... i'll have to live with that pierce resist loss

Another item for Cerberus - stashed



Level 30 - All points in Squall for increased radius and damage... I don't i've ever reached level 30 while still in Egypt, most of the time i complete act 3 around that level, but it's not fault, it's stupid Telkine testing my patience. But hey... it doesn't hurt to have a few extra levels for the next act where things will get quite hard.



Squall now looks much better in action, can't wait to have it maxed, the radius will be above 10 meters
