No more rules.
Remember when I said, "No rings until necessary"? Well it's necessary now. The optional bosses at this point in the game have VERY hard hitting skills, and I need lots of health to survive them. I'm going to try and to only use Vitality rings, but that may change with Seth.

Strategy
Shiva has shifting resistances, and that means no mindless attacking with one skill, over and over again. You have to put that one brain cell to use.
This is how Shiva resistances work/starts
Fire/Ice
Fire/Ice
Ice/ Elec
Elec/Force
Force/Earth
Earth
All Magic
However, after Shiva completes that first cycle. It will change to this.
Fire/Ice
Ice/ Elec
Elec/Force
Force/Earth
Earth
All Magic
To avoid confusion, I came up with a simple way to keep up with Shiva's shifting. All you have to do is use the most useful skills for this fight, and label them.
Fire/Ice - Ice 1
Ice/ Elec - Ice 2
Elec/Force - Force 1
Force/Earth - Force 2
Earth
All Magic
Obviously, the last two are pretty easy to remember when reaching that point. I just needed something to help me keep track until then. That's just how I did it.
The battle of the Buffs/Debuffs
Here's the thing, Shiva uses Dekaja, Dekunda, and Debilitate a lot... Enough to drive anyone to insanity (I would know). Anything you do, he will most likely undone, and I think he gets some kind of sick pleasure from it. All you can do is fight it the best you can, but It's very easy to lose control or track of Shiva's resistances. This fight is all about multitasking, and once you get use to it. It's not so bad. However, luck is needed for this fight for sure.
I'm going to bed now.
