Why Make a Java Zon?They are cheaper than most builds, yet extremely effective if played correctly. One of the builds that require a huge amount of skill and determination to prosper in. (Sorry no easy to play spammerdins here). Not to mention they can get people to rage quickly if you can legit fc well (both a good and bad thing i suppose).
Why Should You Use My Builds?I have re-made this build countless of times to figure out the truely best one out there. This build is the best one for me, but don't be hesitant to modify it for your own likings, after all this is just to help you in the right direction!
What type of builds are there and which one should i use?There are 2 different builds in this guide, pros and cons to each
A. No dodges
Pros:
More dmg
no chance of dodge lock
Cons:
When you could have dodged an attack, instead you have taken dmg
less life
B. Dodges
Pros:
More life
chance to dodge attacks
Cons:
Less dmg
Chance to be stuck in dodge lock
What is dodge lock?Dodge lock is when you have been repetedly set into the dodge animation, making you not able to attack. Attacks that can set you into dodge lock are any rapid speed attacks (Zeal, Fb, Fury etc)

How To Legit FcThis is a little tricky to explain so bare with me.
You need to have Cs and Fury (or throw if you want) on a right click hotkey. I use X for cs and Z for fury
Now that you have done that there is 2 different types of fc i use, remember to hold down shift for each type!
The Click methodFor this method, you need to have your cursor over your oppenents body so you can see their life. Have your right skill click on cs then switch to fury and back to cs quickly. About a quarter to a half a second later (Not right after!) you click. When you fc you do not see the actual cs, but your enemy does. What you see is what you threw ( a javelin or fury) and then the enemy getting hit by a little lightning thing. This method can be used while running or standing still. When you are running you should initiate a long run, go through with the fc steps and then click as usual while running. This is mainly used for enemys that are on the offense
The Name Lock methodThis method is by using name locks, so once you get one you can fc on your enemy as long as you have the nl. To do this I hold down my cs key on the enemy to have a name lock, then switch between cs and fury quickly. I can't exactly explain the right time to switch between keys but once you find it you'll know. This is mainly used for enemys that are running away
