Any Advice for My Best Character in a while?

Tselakus can summon things. That's the main difference between it and ordinary dreadlord.

Good to know...are regular Dreadlords something to be avoided, as well? Can they all cast Darkness Storm? Darkness is about the only resistance I was lacking, of course

Dreadlords aren't near as scary as some other creatures. They don't have darkness storm, their highest damaging spell is nether balls, which hits for around 160 unresisted.

They can cast spells with just about every status effect you can think of besides hallucination or stunning, so if you have resistance holes and/or low saving throw that would put them on the avoid list. They also hit to drain strength like the rest of the dreads, so without strength sustain they should be taken down at range.

BTW I think Dreadlords can summon undead as well. Only difference is I know I've seen Tselekus summon other undead uniques, whereas I think normal Dreadlords only summon normal undead mobs.

Good to know. Thanks!

Looks like both dreadlord and dreadmaster can summon undeads. Tselakus summons are just couple of order of magnitude worse.
