Dunno if this been asked before, but why razortail instead of tg ?
Just bcoz of pierce vs str vita dmg light abs ?
Explenation I demand >(

/e:

And ROTFL at author's comment about Phoenix.
IMO at pvm especialy for cs there is no need to have MB especialy with this shield.


It's only about pierce. The increase in damage is so much worh it. I just dislike Phoenix because it offers nothing worthy but Redemption for the build, but you could consider using it as a switch shield I guess, as some people suggested.

Why do you suggest getting max block for a pvm javzon? wouldnt a 20/20 monarch be far better. More damage and - % res helps defeat the munes your merc infinity breaks faster
Wouldnt the block +fhr frames+dodge = bad for you ,keeping your zon locked into one spot since your only escape is walking and without walk you block = zero (with coh) in a big group of monsters this can be bad.

Also i find enigma to be the far better choice in armour just because of its mobility. And also the fact that you have to rely on others to do things like tele to baal etc with CoH is annoying.


I suggested both, depending on the shield, it is at your discretion.

What about %ED, 50 Life, max resi and sorb ? Whats there to dislike ? You wont have to drink pots. I would consider that #1 chaos run shield not a switch shield.

Well the build isn't strictly intended for Chaos.

I just thought that there were better shields for damage and better shields for max block.

What about %ED? You actually count on phy damage to kill anything?
50 life = small add, nothing to consider in comparison.
You'd have to drink a mana pot once in a while. Big deal.
Spirit is better than Phoenix.
No need for +max resistance in PvM. Please..
Sorb in PvM? Stopped reading there..

Not caring about my opinion? I'm hurt :( owait..
Fire sorb vs venom lords? If you need that you clearly don't have decent res, but sorbing requires max res for it to procc, which you wouldn't need if you did have max res to begin with....
Just saying it's there to make a point that you have no point is fail, m8.

I dont think max res is required for absorb to work..I tihnk it works extremely well on venom lords with bad res.

In the case of % absorb, a mid % resist necessary to fully exploit the benefits. On the other hand , + xx absorb is best used when you have a high % resist.

Whilst having bad resists, it will do little to no effect.
