First let me thank Siberys for his answer to my question on resistances.
I have searched and read all that I could find on Epic equipment. I am playing on the Epic level and have reached level 50 NO deaths yet. I'm currently outside of Delphi enjoying some roast boar with my lich king and have yet to find or buy any Epic equipment. I do have five pieces of Legendary, but I am not yet powerful enough to use them. I have carried around almost two complete sets of Epic equipment one for spirit and one for Ramese. The Spirit since way back at level 12. Is there any way of completing these sets.
Also just for clarification on this site, if you review what they say about pets it states that a level 16 Ether Lord will stay with you for almost a minute that is incorrect it only stays out for 30 seconds.
Well after finally replaying the tegra area many times I received a Epic sword. However do any of the shopkeepers ever sell and Epic items in Epic mode or later in Legendary.
