Thanks cruel! I made a javazon after watching this video. I managed to kill the uber ytd with decent gear. I was quite careful because it was my first time but it turned out really easy. Ubers just melted under the power of charged strike! Now thinking of trying it with a headhunter+ 3 5/5 LF to see if it's even faster
I have my Javazon geared similarly to yours (although only lvl 91) and she is indeed very tanky with the SS. One thing I've struggled with though is keeping resistances high without a ton of all res charms, and mana leech isn't quite as good as I like in places that aren't very densely packed. I was playing around with options a bit, and found that if I drop the Griffon's for a Wisdom runeword, you don't need Razortail or Ravenfrost anymore, and your options really open up. Wisdom gives s TON of mana regen along with Pierce and CBF, so you can put on TGods (or Arachs if you want), and another leech/res ring or SOJ or BK ring. You can use TStrokes if you want to keep some -light res and make up the IAS loss too. What I ended up testing out was a Wisdom helm and Hustle armor which has enough IAS to swap in Maras instead of Highlords along with TGods and another leech+res ring instead of Ravenfrost. Everything else was the same (Titans, SS, Aldurs). Ok, so it's not quite as good as the Griffons setup, but I was surprised at how well it ran and it was a fun change that gives a lot more res, frees up some inventory space, and gets rid of all mana concerns everywhere. A lot cheaper than Griffon's & Enigma as well, so maybe something to run next ladder season before getting fully geared.
Wisdom is definitely very good for its price. However, Griffon is just the BiS endgame wise. Enigma is even more mandatory than Griffon, Merc's AI is just not good in D2.
My level 90 zon is a beast. Titian’s, Chains of Honor, Phoenix, socketed griffins with an ORT rune, Mara, BK ring, Raven frost, T Gods, Aldurs, 3 20 gloves. 7 skillers and the rest small resists charms. I also have a CTA on swap. I REALLY like chains of honor armor you should try it, the +65 all resist and the +2 skills, and 200% damage to demons is so nice. I don’t mind running around vs tele. Forces you to actually play the game lol. For Ubers I have an ETH Thunder-stroke, which is used ONLY for poking no throwing since it’s eth lol. And the SS with a P diamond in it. I switch out some skillers for +30 lightning res charms. To get to the 300 over cap on resistance when fighting Meph.
Would you mind sharing or doing a video on what you do for 85+ leveling? You have provided me with a bunch of different ways to optimize my game play and would like to see if I could optimize my leveling as well.
It might be hard to do a video on that cuz leveling takes a while, and basically you just need to keep doing Chaos/Baal runs until you hit 93 or 94 and then Terror Zones to 99. You know, it can be summarize in 2 sentences.
@CruelAngel電遊酷 haha that's what I was gunna say. U nailed it. Gotta get out there and kill monster. And also don't die, very important to not die, you could lose hours of work.
Javazon with titans and Phoenix....just chill and collect loot on P8. Dont even need super high fcr or atk speed. Left click is A=fury, S=charged strike. Right click always teleport. Good video bro! However you like to play, D2 has you covered.
Good content. I normally play ladder doing blizzard into nova. I am wondering about next ladder playing a javazon. Might be hard to gear up initially though. Also, teleporting on the javazon, instead of CTA, would be better to use spirit shield + wiz spike for faster teleporting?
I’m currently level 94 with similar gear. I use Phoenix instead of storm shield. I crush everything except spirits 😂. Any other type of ghost gets blasted but spirits still crush my life bar. I have negative resists around the board 🤪🤣. Like heavy negatives too ! I like to live life on the edge !
Phoenix shield is for farming, if you want more defense take stormshield, if you want more dps or fcr take spirit , other possibility is a jmod or a budget socketed moser with ias/res and/or light facet.
Nice video. Noisy keyboard but that may just be your style. Doing a hardcore javazon myself level 55. Soon to die I am sure lol. Update. Made 74 level in hell then died
@cruelangel1516 I don't have a griffons yet but once I do I know I'll be going for the 68 for break point as for the high lords I'd have to do the ias calculations to see I that is even helping you hit a break point or not.
Can you explain how you organize your stash? It was very helpful previously you explain can put TP and identify on belt but I have found very little guides on organizing stash. Why is the first page full of Eth runes?
@@cruelangel1516 Why is Eth valuable for trade though? I can't think of any cube recipes which use it, so it doesn't seem as 'consumable' as say a Ral rune.
There are less desirable ones: Hit Power Shield, Blood Boots, Caster Shield, and Safety Armor Just check recent trades on Traderie. It surprised me, too.
Sorc is just better in general. Sorc has much higher MF, fast cast, cheaper to build, and infinity not even necessary. But Java is more fun and more rare to see.
People do understand that but what people are looking for is efficiency and cheap vs good. Building a Java that can do ubers vs a Pali Barb or Dudu that can get the job done alot quicker and safer. Every build can be viable but for ubers, others shine over.
Think I might do this again after I get my FoHammerdin settled. Always like javazon but forgot that with Sunder now it probably makes them ridiculous now. Is it pretty optimal still to do most areas with a griffs/sunder but no infinity in the game? I might make her my new mf char
You'll kinda notice you won't need it for p1 as stated..with sunder and griff and any additional facets you're running youl see shit dying before your merc even applies the conviction aura.
So just been sticking with titans and use tstroke for any clone spawns. I actually found Wisdom to be really useful over razortail atm, I do have a razortail just in case when I do get my griffs but right now tgods and wisdom just works wonderfully. Just made my merc infinity recently so rocking the wisdom + tgods with the other end game tldr stuff. I think I might consider a phoenix since I have a Jah and Lo laying around but maybe not. Stormshield just feels comfier. Honestly overall this build is still pretty viable for most things in the game with just sunder from my experience. You still want that infinity to really make it much more satisfying on the lightning enchanted or immunes but overall I was surprised. I literally rushed myself solo on NM and Hell haha.
I havent fully tested it but im starting to think tgods is better overall than razortail. Extra pierce is nice but otherrwise tgods has so much better stats, for me anyway
I think nominally tgods might be better for boss soloing, but it's only a marginal difference in terms of safety. Piece with razortail is so ridiculously strong that it's better in all practical situations. Unless...you have an insane amount of +skills on pierce which makes you approach 100% without razortail anyway.
I read javazon is best ad clear in game, so i definitly want try but im afraid she needs items to be good. Paladin or Necromancer can go to hell with 0 items and do everything. Most of my friends played mozaik sin becose that was cheapest p8 clear in season.@@cruelangel1516
Actually tstrokes are superior to titans, for almost every use case, beause not only you get -15 enemy light res, but also 15ias which opens better gear opportunities while staying at a given ias breakpoint, basically tstrokes overshadow titans, and titans are just overrated
super helpful thanks! im currently leveling my javazon (91) and will soon try my first uber run, perfect timing with your upload
No problem. Good luck with your Ubers run.
I love the quality of life from Phoenix, i cant give it up.
Thanks for the tip! I love the stormshield with enough dex for max build.
No problem!
Cruel it's Victory !
When I play with Amazon for Nightmare, i feeling Zeus ⚡⚡⚡
Thanks cruel! I made a javazon after watching this video. I managed to kill the uber ytd with decent gear. I was quite careful because it was my first time but it turned out really easy. Ubers just melted under the power of charged strike! Now thinking of trying it with a headhunter+ 3 5/5 LF to see if it's even faster
No problem. This was my first time do uber with this character as well so I was extra careful too.
Very impressive build & Uber run. My first time ever saw a Uber killer without fade.
Thank you. There are actually many Ubers run without Fade out there.

A blizz or hybrid fb/orb is much better for MF and much cheaper to build, but light fury jav is still my most favorite to play, so I prefer it.
For me the best MF build is Nova sorc
i played zon on hc off and on since d2 original release, nicely built amazon man!
Thanks

If you dont care about the extra life and mana from BO, sure.

F
you can hit the 68 or 99% fcr break points with some small gear changes and make teleporting smoother
I still feel like too much sacrifice on other stuffs just to tele faster
Griffons 25 fcr spirit 35 then you just need some fcr on a ring or ammy no sacrifice needed
The thing is I prefer using Stormshield, and IAS from Highlord and the mana leech + 11 all res from my ring are hard to replace.
@cruelangel1516 I don't have a griffons yet but once I do I know I'll be going for the 68 for break point as for the high lords I'd have to do the ias calculations to see I that is even helping you hit a break point or not.
Do you recommend using a Javazon or a smiter for Ubers?
I have never play smiter, but my friend has one and he get the job done very well. It really depends on how well geared your characters are.
Good runs very nice javason
Thanks. I'll do another update video when next season comes.
Do you think having more MAEK on gear would solve mana problems? Like swap aldurs or get a jool in storm with more MAEK?
Btw awesome Javazon!😁
I do. I have both mana leech and mana after each kill.
you hear every mouse click ....
For the Spirit Monarch, Vita Javazon build, is the likelyhood of dying from p8 still low or a SS is a must? Going for 68fcr
I think you'll be fine most of the time. When surrounded by Dolls, I don't know.
Made a nova sorc after watching your vid but i cant seem to tacle uber. Will now make a javazon and give uber another go!
Nova sorc can kill ubers but Javazon definitely works much better. Good luck.
Would treachery be better for merc? Because your zon kills so fast, your merc is just there for might and conviction
Merc has better survivability with Fort.
Also you would have to pre-proc fade which is kind of a waste of time considering how easy it is for his javason
Can you explain how you organize your stash? It was very helpful previously you explain can put TP and identify on belt but I have found very little guides on organizing stash. Why is the first page full of Eth runes?
Yes, I think that's probably what I'll do for my next video. The Eth runes for for trade.

Season 4 first99 was assasin(even hardcore). God bless Mosaic
Might need a pair of sunglasses for it :)
Man dose are the ultimate gloves!
I've seen better, but this is very nice indeed. Thanks.
Awesome video
Thanks!
I have a question. Can you explain why you use "3 mana each kill" instead of "15 all res" in jewer griffon?
Because my res are all max already and MAEK is a very good stat for Javazon on top of mana leeach
Great video
Thanks!
why did you swap in isight for ur mecrch during uber mephisto ?
Uber Mephisto has level 20 Conviction Aura which will overwrite the level 12 from Infinity.
Nice build and gameplay dude,..... congrats!
Thanks!
I would try a Iron golem from Metal grid with insight for easy Mana management.
I only have ~50% ar and 49% block chance on my lvl 90 Javazon and i don't die unless i let a bunch of souls whale on me. Javazon is so OP xD
Do you think the mana issues for this build make it less self sufficient than es nova sorc with merc insight?
Sorc is just better in general. Sorc has much higher MF, fast cast, cheaper to build, and infinity not even necessary. But Java is more fun and more rare to see.
People dont understand that every build IS good once you have specific items to help boost dps such as “infinity” or “sunder charms”
People do understand that but what people are looking for is efficiency and cheap vs good. Building a Java that can do ubers vs a Pali Barb or Dudu that can get the job done alot quicker and safer. Every build can be viable but for ubers, others shine over.
Not the poison or summon necro. They stay shitty
You don't understand that javazon was always OP and with sunder it's godly.
@@Fingerknee I'm looking for good but not typical builds (nova sorc or pala are so boring to me). do you know new build guides?
Don't tell me you did not know izu can tele?!...
Woah woah woah…you can repair the javelin at the blacksmith!?
If it's non-eth, the quantity will back to full.
You kill uber very fast. My javazone is very slow with bosses i dont know why.
Use T-Stroke for Ubers. Get more -enemy lightning res. Max your Lightning Java synergies. Infinity on Merc.
si wat do we do wen a mob is light immune/resist? do we jus run away? lol
Sunder charm and Infinity
Think I might do this again after I get my FoHammerdin settled. Always like javazon but forgot that with Sunder now it probably makes them ridiculous now. Is it pretty optimal still to do most areas with a griffs/sunder but no infinity in the game? I might make her my new mf char
I think for p1 you shouldn't have much problem.
You'll kinda notice you won't need it for p1 as stated..with sunder and griff and any additional facets you're running youl see shit dying before your merc even applies the conviction aura.
For p1 u go with thunderstroke and sunder much cheaper option and u got more than enough dmg to deal immunes
So just been sticking with titans and use tstroke for any clone spawns. I actually found Wisdom to be really useful over razortail atm, I do have a razortail just in case when I do get my griffs but right now tgods and wisdom just works wonderfully. Just made my merc infinity recently so rocking the wisdom + tgods with the other end game tldr stuff. I think I might consider a phoenix since I have a Jah and Lo laying around but maybe not.

@@jyona3184 Wisdom is very good for its price
i prefer Defiance merc, Might seems useless since your Javazon kills things fast
More leech for both me and merc.
This vid could use some editing but your the only one with a 2.7 javazon on TH-cam

Def need a silent click mouse bro. Good video, but the clicks....9 bucks on Amazon, get one haha!
I havent fully tested it but im starting to think tgods is better overall than razortail. Extra pierce is nice but otherrwise tgods has so much better stats, for me anyway
Every pierce is worth gold IMO
@@cruelangel1516 thanks for sharing, so u think razortail better for farming cows?
@@Christoff070 Yes. Unless you use Wisdom or really having a hard time to survive against Souls, Razortail is the better choice.
I think nominally tgods might be better for boss soloing, but it's only a marginal difference in terms of safety. Piece with razortail is so ridiculously strong that it's better in all practical situations.

@@brainwasher9876 And not giving any hard points to evade, etc.
With tele port i never found the point of raven frost, can someone enlighten me?
Cannot be fronzen is always good for non-caster
Somebody explain to me how he has no pts in str?
His base value is 20 :S
Gears give me enough strength.
Annilihus and Torch give enough to wear enigma which then gives strength based on character level
Javason is so disgusting. you just throw a javelin and everything is clear in an instant. bosses are like minions.
Nothing beats that satisfaction
Is good start season that build?
It's solid. Sorc still the best since she doesn't need Enigma to have teleport.
@@cruelangel1516 I never played, I allways pick sorc, paladin, necro or druid.
Javazon and Nova Sorc are my two favorite builds in the game. I don't play ladder tho.

Other than Griffon and Enigma, and Infinity on Merc, all other gears are very easy to get for Javazon.
Great build, but FCR is terrible. Those teleports are painfully slow.
why razortail? tgod is better rite?
every pierce is worth gold
Thunderstrokes are better damage wise.
Diablo just melted lol
Actually tstrokes are superior to titans, for almost every use case, beause not only you get -15 enemy light res, but also 15ias which opens better gear opportunities while staying at a given ias breakpoint, basically tstrokes overshadow titans, and titans are just overrated
depends on how close he's to the bp
the problem with this build is the low MF
I never care about MF
Man are the 20/5 charms
For trade
just tested this build on my single player, and it's impossible to even get through lilith 😂
What ammy she got on?
Highlord's Wrath
Phoenix better pvm. You are a ranged attacker. You not melee, SS, is useless.
Phoenix offers very good QoL, but I think it's wasted on Javazon for the most parts.
Is this HC? You lvl 99 so no exp loss. You don't need SS on soft core anymore.
