I recon if one is going all out on damage (phoenix and fortitude) then a 65ed automod would be a drop in the ed ocean. I suspect one would benefit more from 45 all res automod as it would theoretically be freeing 9 spaces worth of shimmering small charms for max damage charms being applied the already massive ed on them.Do folks use the %ED Paladin shields for anything? I found a few that rolled Knight's, one 65% ED, and I can imagine someone wanting to max out ED on a RW like Phoenix but it seems like the res all automod would just be more practical.
I use jab. Wanted to avoid bow-hybrid too and tried some time with a wand with lower resist charger but couldn’t be bothered in the long run.Question that exposes my newbie-ness to Zons:
What's you guys' go-to for taking a Javazon through hell, sans Infinity? Go the pure Lightning route and jab things to death or let merc/valk take care of them? Or is it worth having a backup skill like Plague Javelin? I'm trying to avoid a Bow hybrid.
I've been reading through the build guides and Mat threads and I've seen some say PJ is so weak that Jab does the job quicker, but I know D2R buffed up the PJ so it's a tad more useable.
Yeah, I do that with the NM Andy runs because the goal (SOJ) is kinda far away and other rewards are… not there really.Keeping track of just the number of runs and when high runes dropped helps me a lot with staying motivated. Even if I don't find anything, I still feel the accomplishment of having completed X number of runs.
I found that if you can get an Elite Javelin with good ED, you can just keep on using CS/LF. I found a Gargoyle's Bite with my Zon who was in A4 Hell at the time, and I was amazed at how quickly LI's melted from the physical damage of teh weapon, and I had a decent amount of LL so it was a win/win. My Merc did have Reapers so that was a big part of it as well. I found an upgrade from the Anya quest (when does that ever happen???) and it carried me to the end. Quite a speedy Eldritch/Shenk/Pindle farmer too.Been doing LK runs for quite some time today. I didn’t find any runes above Lum… I also didn’t die or drink up all my full rejuvs because I had my fingers on the number row in stead of the QWE one.
Not too bad a day. I think I added some 100 runes to my total. Next time I’ll have to write that number down so I can say with a bit more certainty
My Javazon had a bow on switch and points in Freezing Arrow as the main strategy for immune monsters, but I also noticed that LI’s were still taking decent damage from the javelins the occasional time when I didn’t bother switching. I was running with a Tiamat’s Rebuke shield along with my Demon’s Arch javs, so a fair amount of fire damage should have been getting added.I found that if you can get an Elite Javelin with good ED, you can just keep on using CS/LF.

Yep, I had FA for LI's as well, and I had a Koku Shakaku that complimented the build nicely.My Javazon had a bow on switch and points in Freezing Arrow as the main strategy for immune monsters, but I also noticed that LI’s were still taking decent damage from the javelins the occasional time when I didn’t bother switching.
