Did I hear
99 FCR Javazon? #plug
Interesting you mentioned that setup because I've never seen anyone go for it (other than myself). Though it seems it has inspired others and I've seen two Cham'ed Griffon's made around the SPF recently (
@Yng and
@PhineasB), so here's hoping to see more of those Javas around!
I've changed some things around since the vid above and found some minor gear improvements, but overall it's still valid as for the basics I think.
In my book 99 FCR with CtA switch is ideal for most Java purposes, but it's hard to get the gear to make it work, with very specific roll combinations on crafts/rares being required that aren't exactly common. I was rather lucky in that regard. 68 FCR is much more lenient on gear. Also totally agree for targets like Baal, 68 FCR/55 IAS is in fact better (same for Pindle MF Java). FWIW, here's
@frozzzen's (AFAIK still standing)
Baal run record, also with 68 FCR/55 IAS but using TStroke and some broken 1.07 gear.
IMO worth mentioning is the Wizzy switch option. Before I lucked out on a 2/20 FCR amulet, I used Wizzy/Spirit switch (often pre-buffing with CtA) for easy 99 FCR. This also allows higher damage output since less FCR is required from other gear, so more facets/skills can be included (I used 4-facet Monarch with 15 IAS/3 MPK jewel in Griffon's).
