God... why do i always get every possible formula, except the one i want?



No, seriously, why?



I almost couldn't believe my own eyes... the pain is over! It only took me around 100-150 Aktaios runs to drop it

I don't care that much about the completion bonus, oh though it could have been 8% attack speed. As for the rest, minus the pet bonuses the other stats are of no use for me, except the minor attack speed boost.



Let's do the math... With this and my staff/rings/amulet pet bonuses, the wolves get a total bonus of 90 damage flat + 25% physical damage... I don't think it can get better than that until better pet bonus affixes start to roll on items... but when will that happen i have no idea, next act? Act 4? Or maybe next difficulty? I never paid attention to pet gear, as i was never into pet builds... until now.

I also found out that i only need +2 to all skills to summon a 3rd wolf, not +4 as i thought. So in act 3 i might find a permanent solution for it. I will definitely vendor farm a Hallowed Helm, which grants +1 to all skills, but i'll also watch out for an amulet with +1 to all Nature mastery skills. I know these things can now drop or spawn in vendor inventories because i've already seen 2 amulets with +1 to all Spirit mastery skills. And the even better news are, if i get these items, i don't even have to wear them all the time, i will only need to put them on for when i summon my wolves, and then swap them with resistance gear.

I will continue later this day, or tomorrow.

Completing act 2





The Easiest act boss ever... but he's also bad for farming, the quest drop was lame too

Now that i'm in act 3 and have a waypoint, i will go back at the Aktaios rebirth fountain, but going to farm him, i'll just reset until i get a Mastery shrine...



This robe is useless for me, but i'll buy for Ceberus i already have 35% reduced damage from beasts, with 70% reduction, i'll be near immortal to his attacks, including the poison breath



I got the shrine on the second run

Level 31 - 3 points in Squall



So far it's going smoothly, it's the final third of this act that worries me... i'll be doing mostly full map clears to get 1-2 levels before the tough parts

Fuck! There's a weird bug in the game when you teleport to town and return to your TP, the character sometimes gets stuck in place and you can't do anything about it, but reset the game... It's rare but a very frustrating glitch, i have lost my mastery shrine wolves and i'm far from the waypoint. Now i have to fight the boss in this dungeon with the two weaker wolves...



And he destroyed the wolves with his powerful elemental attacks... thank god i can do some damage too, with my Squall and staff, so i was able to kill him on my own



Nothing good from the chest! I got to the next waypoint and will now hunt for another mastery shrine

Level 32 - All points in Squall



This is the quest i've been waiting for since the beginning of this walkthrough

Permanent 100% health bonus to all pets - i love it!





In the beginning i couldn't feel the difference of the doubled pet health... but latter on, when the wolves faced some serious foes, they felt tankier than before

And i just got a crazy drop from a majestic chest in one of the random caves. Too bad it doesn't have some bonus to elemental damages or attack speed... i'll use it only for summoning





I've never seen this monster infrequent drop in hundreds and hundreds hours spent in act 3

It doesn't roll well... imagine this with the Hallowed preffix. Not using it...



Too bad because, it looks pretty badass on the character.



The first serious test for the newly upgraded pets will be the tigermen... so far the wolves are doing great against them, but i still haven't faced a tigerman hero - these guys are OP as fuck!
