Not entirely true, yeah jav skills are kinna useless but the 2 skills added to p&m tree can get you an extra % for dodge/avoid/evade, and on east it will give you a higher chance to pierce target - thats not really useful on euro with bb tho.
They can as stygians get much better ed% bonuses from dex (0.75 ed per point of str/dex on stygians compared to 0.5 ed from dex and 0.8 ed from str on matri).On a standard build stygians should (just) win out raw damage.
However, stygians need the 40 ias to hit the max throw bp (which his has) on a standard build. This means that 40 ias matris have stack vs 10% slow whereas stygians do not. Furthermore matris give flexibility to use setups like dracs/gskull for ow/kb whilst maintaining max ias on javs.
Personally, I used stygians vs necs/druids/hdins on eud2pk and matris vs trap/zon/barb. Both are fantastic javs tho, but I could only use 1 jav I'd go with matris.

hmm i see prolly on east no one uses slow vs bowatsone as there is no bugbelt, perhaps only sins
Im not a bowatsone player myself but i bet on eu slowstack against bb is very valuable vs trappers, hyb, ghosts, barbs, smiters, javas, tvt, etc, etc cos of bugbelt. Thats why i think matris are a superior base in general.
