Javazon LF questions I'm just getting back into this after a long break since 1.09 and I made a javazon. I have Titan's on her and everything but she's much weaker than I expected. LF maxed to like 23 with +skills only does like 1-767 dmg which is nothing considering I've talked to zons who do 3-4k. Are the 1% synergies THAT helpful? Should I max them all or what? What's the best way I should do this?
well I just restarted diablo 2 bout 3 weeks ago(just under) and have built a javazon. This is what I have built.(You 1337 people please remember only 3weeks work please) she is lvl91 now i got 156str for spirit monarch and as of tonight 19/-14monarch(4 light facets) 171dex 4 matriachal java(I know with +dex from equip i could have less but this is pvm and id prefer flexability to wear whatever i want without worrying about stats thats also reason for such high str) rest into vit skills 1 in every passive valk and pierce and useful and they require 1 in everything hehe, also d/e/a are always good the rest in light fury+charged strike+synergies in that order equip im wearing now eth titans 181/5 spirit monarch(cant wait for my(19/14 1 tonight hehe) griffons eye 19/11(with 5/-4 facet in) highlords amu(I need maras hehe) ormus robes(this give better damage than coh : but of course i miss the resists ) thundergods vigor 1 dual elach ring with sum mana life and resists 1 manald (i want a bk ring hehe) waterwalks 64 life +3 java skills gloves(i want sum with ias but anya aint sellin me any yet hehe) and i have 6 java skillers only need 1 more my charged strike atm is about 8k with 10bolts owns hell diablo in 5 hits I found out wen rushing someone today my light fury is about 3.8k and hopefully with new shield should break 10k cs and 4k fury now thats 3 weeks work but im finall getting somewhere with her hehe hopefully that should point you in the right direction since you are fresh back as well unknown places to find decent tradable items hell cows great for socketables once you are aware of things like lld items that are valuable you shoul pick up a few ists worth(aditecly not in 1 or two runs though hehe) hell baal runs scan what is dropped carefully, just today picked up a sup archon plate, this should fetch me a reasonable price when I trade. Also cows are great for charms got myself 3 skillers and a 9/55/27gc 2day alone. While waiting for wome1 to tele to baal kill shenk he dusnt give much amazing stuff but when yo are doing 100 or so baakl ruuns then he will every now and agen give yo a decent drop. The join games where they actually kill baal and let someone with high mf get last hit and then get fast fingers, bot are neigh on impossible to grab from though hope this is helpful Richard
I'll be looking over this a lot shortly as I'm making a new zon this weekend hopefully. I just don't see why mine did so little dmg =\. I'll let you know how it turns out.
For starters you don't have enough +skills...you didn't list your gear but I think you said you had a lvl 23 Lightning Fury with +skills...this is not enough to do the serious damage that you've been hearing about. Secondly +%lightning damage from Griffon's Eye/Thunderstrokes/Ormus and -%enemy lightning resist will help your damage enormously...Especially the -%enemy lightning resists, since most monsters have some lightning resist.
For javazons, what is a better weapon: uped eth titan's (192 ed in this case) or t-strokes? Also, does having 10 java charms really help damage all that much or would get getting, say, griffons eye, be a better use of funds?
eth titans is better for general use becoz although you cant replenish them I find that during baal runs They always seem to be max before i enter throne as usually baals minions only take about 15 javas off me and these replenish while im ccharged striking baaal and waiting for someone to tele on nxt run. But damage wise tstrokes are better because they offer the -enemy res. as for grifons id go for griggons then buy a skillers 1 at a time when I can afford it. I can compare griffons with no skillers to no griffons with 6 skillers later if you want. Richard
Also, what's the biggest difference between titan's and eth titan's? What is the ethereal effect on javs?
with no skillers but my griffons I do 1-6297charged strike damage with 6 skillers but no griffons I do 1-6766 with both I do 1-8010 between titans and eth is the physical damage this helps mainly for leaching mana and life but also helps vs immunes Richard
