*Gear Progression*
You want to check the vendor for quarterstaffs with "Increased Physical Damage" and/or "Adds to Physical/Lightning/Cold/Fire Damage". You can salvage weapons with quality to get Blacksmith Whetstones which can be used to improve the quality of your weapon.
Use your Transmutation Orbs on quarterstaffs that you find off the ground or look for decent Staffs at the vendor if you do not have a decent quarterstaff. You can socket Fire/Lightning Damage if you do not otherwise have any Fire/Lightning damage sources. That will allow you to inflict a Fire/Lightning Ailment onto the Tempest Bell which will convert some of its Physical Damage to Fire/Lightning Damage and also gain more Elemental Damage. You could also socket a "increased Physical Damage" rune if your quarterstaff has a very high base Physical Damage. You can also get flat damage on rings and gloves.
*Resistances*
For Act 1 you want Cold Resistance. In Act 2 you want Lightning Resistance for the final Act 2 Boss. If you do the "Elemental Offering" (Act 2, Buried Shrines) you can choose a Topaz/Ruby/Sapphire Ring. Vendors can also sell Resistance Rings. If you do not have enough Resistance Rings I would consider gambling for one at the Vendor (Risu at Act 2, Alva at Act 3) if you have sufficient Gold. The Act 3 Boss will cause all 3 Elemental Damage types. You can socket Glacial/Desert/Storm to get 12% Cold/Fire/Lightning Resistance.

Normally, I would go for Lead Through Grace as the second Ascendancy Notable but as I had a lot of Spirit on my gear so I went for Unbound Avatar instead.
