Jabazon or Smiter?

Hi all, i have just finished my cs zon for pking, but now im thinking of building a new character that is capable of pking as well.
What comes to mind is a jabazon, which sounds really interesting, and a smiter.

I have kindda got gear for both characters, but i don't know which character to build, what do you guys think?
is jabazon even viable in pvp situations? im thinking it will be hard to has ias items on her as well as resistance, and both of those are really important in duels, on the other hand, paly has fanaticism and easier to stack resists as well...so Smiter of Jabazon for my new character?

Id have to say a smiter would be able to kill alot more then a jabberzon.

With the zon you have to worry about hitting with your ar and then gettin past shield block. Smite ignores ar and shield block so obvious advantage right there for smiter + smioters got charge.

They also have more life, faster block, more def, more res, more dr, et cetera...

also zon wise u have to think about absorb where as with the smiter u have high uninteruptable dmg that is physical and smiter in general can take alot more classes easier compared to the jabazon.

thanks for the input.

Smiters are much easier to play; if this is a question you need to ask, I suggest you stick to a smiter.

A very well-played javazon though can really, REALLY **** things up. It's a pity they're rare (I mean good ones, excluding illegitimate fc)

Smiters are more expensive to set up than a jabazon. Jabazons however are hard to effectively duel with unlike a cookie cutter smiter. Either way you'll have fun, they are both pretty neat.

I would say smiter would get you more kills, but jabazon woulda be more fun.

What abouta Jab/? Hybrid.
Maybe max jab, max guided, max critical, max penetrate, rest in D/A/E. Even just the 1 pt in jab on my bowa is fun vs. unsuspecting duelers. If it was maxed I'd hit alot more often and harder, of course.

if your looking for something alternative, poi'zons are an often underestimated opponent. they can dish out truly insane amounts of damage and have all the d/a/e+block abilities of CS zons.

just a thought. otherwise: smiter.

A big problem for zons now, is the fact a lot of people are running near max block and a lot of DR. Zons aren't the dominent class like they used to be but they can still be dueled efficiently (one of the best chars I've seen was a lvl 97 javazon named godsawoman who truly owned baal runs). Smiters are effective because smite ignores def and life tap owns a lot of physical chars. They also have a high block rate, high def and usually max (some stacked) resist. Zons on the other hand must rely on there passive skills, dr and fast attacks to survive (which is why when they eventually get chased down they generally lose). Again its really what you want in the long run.
