a few questions about Pvm javazons

i just created a pvm javazon and i would like to ask a few questions

she currently uses

tgods
titans
vampiregaze
stormshield with shael rune
and trangs plate (lol it will b replaced soon)
3 to passive and magic skills + 6% mana stolen per hit, ammy
zon torch
etheral bloodfist

my questions are:

1) is it good to use highlords ammy for deadly strike? im not a big fan of maras, and im not too keen on spending that much for maras

2)what is the best armour for her? alot of people say Coh

3)she currently does 1k dm with her LF, how do i make her do more? java gcs?

4)what is the best boots for her?

5)what are the best gloves for her?

6) is a valk really needed? if so how much points should i really put into her?

she is currently lvl 77 and i randomly added points according to this java build

i will eventually get her to lvl 90 so i dont worry about screwed up the order of the skill points

Re: a few questions about Pvm javazons

1) no ds isn't useful any decent +2 ama will do you nicely
2) coh gives lots of res which you won't get much of from other gear. eni gives better merc control, frw and str. Other options are basically inferior. viper's pretty much a baby coh in the mean time.
3) obviously +skills, +% light damage, more points in synergies will all increase it. Forget jav skillers until you've upgraded pretty much all your main gear though.
4) rare boots (frw, fhr, res) or treks
5) +2 java 20 ias crafted/rare, +3 java 20 ias magic.
6) no. 0 or 1.

Pure light is better for pvm than light/poison but just make sure you max cs and lf asap and tbh you could dump the rest in fire arrow and still be hell viable.

i followed that guide i linked above, i maxes plauge javalin and what not, it helps for those nasty immunes in hell

i spent 2 days of stright play for this zon, im kinda thinkking i screwed her up by maxing plauge javalin like it said in the guide, she seems to do ok in nightmare, but cant do much in hell.

i dont know what to put on her stats as well. i put 156 for str, and 110 for dex, the rest i left plain until someone tells me exactly what to put

Re: a few questions about Pvm javazons

these are her current skills, without bonuses

1= innersight, slow missle, decoy, penatrate, jab, impale, fend, lightning bolt
4= dodge, avoid, evade
6= peirce
10= poison java
20= plauge javalin
20= lightning fury

did i screw up? or do i still have hope to solo a hell chaos run with my javazon?

Re: a few questions about Pvm javazons

solo cs is going to be seriously slow without some gear upgrades. The poison immune, 75% lr venom lords ensure that (though a 100% pierce ~1.5k LF will be enough to slaughter them on p1-3). You've wasted a bunch of points in d/a/e and pierce but just max cs then poison jav and you'll see a big improvement. Otherwise you'll have nothing for bosses. Wear razortail too, it massively boosts lf's killing speed and that's 10x as powerful as your other attacks vs crowds. The poison tree needs good gear to kill at the speed pretty much any other build can manage on a single um or less.

true, though highlords isn't a bad amulet.
-You get lightning res, the most res.
-You get ias, that's not as important, though it can never hurt, certainly not when you use jab for li.
-you get deadly strike, if you have a low invest in critical - you should - this will make leech better and again, it helps when you use jab for li.
-And you get one skill, again a good thing.
-It's a zillion times cheaper then a good +2 zon amulet or a rare +2 skill amulet.

Re: a few questions about Pvm javazons

true enough though if you need the ias I think I'd probably prefer a cats eye in that case, except you can't really build the dex into your stats planning as it would only be a temporary fix. Deadly strike's boosting leech would be somewhat useful but when you have like 60% critical strike, an extra 30-35% ds isn't offering nearly as much.
