I'm using a stormshield socket-ed with a light facet, but I have acquired ed enough runes to make a Phoenix Shield,


I kill fast enough for my taste so a 20/20 is out of the equation for me.

What helps survival more Phoenix or Stormshield?

It depends on what you struggle against.. is it physical damage that is more risky or is it elemental damage? I would say SS is better in most cases, whereas phoenix is mostly just good for having your bulbs constantly refilled (especially in the cow level)

Stormshield reduces physical dmg and has better block chance.
Phoenix increases max fire and lite res and adds some sorb. Paired with T-Gods, you will become practically immune to things like hydras and souls- in fact they'll heal you.
Redemption aura uses up corpses and replenish your life mana all the time as well.

Phoenix is damn good shield for a javazon. Best for hardest areas of hell.
For easier areas ( eg. chaos sanctuary ), I suggest moser's with 2 facets.
