reddit is a cesspit purple haired obese folk.
Got a warning just because I lol'd at someone claiming to get 4os on a sup base via cube recipe. Exactly what AI claims, constantly.
I would not be surprised at rife misinformation from AI scrapers. Shit in shit out.

Personally I'd be fine with no AI, seems to just exacerbate already existing problems.

All these ai influencers saying take your hands off the wheel and let the ai agents drive will hopefully get their karma when they get their bank account wiped out and all their nude pics released to the public by one of their followers ai agent just doing its thing trying to make $

Actually fairly common when you work with your hands man

It’s not a surprise that a general purpose model trained on the most normie addled corpus struggles to predict the exact string of words that equate to a response in a conversation where someone has asked for deeply autistic information about their niche 29 year old game unfortunately.

If you want digitally enslaved Cain to guide you along you’ll sadly need to train one yourself (very doable with current compute costs though)

Imo it would only make me far more deeply autistic to train my own Cain when I have access to 100ish regulars on this subforum like Sins I have access to daily.

Just don't ask AI how many "R's are in strawberry".

ChatGPT build me the best javazon possible, thank you.

For a top-tier Diablo II: Lord of Destruction / Diablo II: Resurrected PvM Lightning Fury / Charged Strike Javazon (arguably the strongest all-around Javazon), here’s a high-end build focused on Cow runs, Baal, Chaos, and boss melting:

Eth Upgraded Titan’s + Griffon’s + Enigma + Spirit + Razortail + Infinity Merc

This setup gives:

* Boss deletion
* Great survivability
* S-tier ladder and non-ladder performance

Besides a couple slots I guess this isn't terrible. It would work. But now ask it to build you an aurasorc or a bladesin or a frostmaiden or fire bowazon.

Lmao. For Immolation arrow/exploding arrow zon it only got a few pieces of the gear right. Didn't even get the weapon right. Literally zero reason to use half of that gear.

DIABLO II: RESURRECTED - IMMOLATION / EXPLODING ARROW AMAZON (FIRE BOWAZON)

The Fire Bowazon focuses on massive Area of Effect (AoE) fire damage. Because the fire explosion triggers every time an arrow pierces an enemy, 100% Pierce is the most important stat for clearing high-density zones like the Cow Level or Chaos Sanctuary.

=========================================
1. SKILL POINT DISTRIBUTION
=========================================
FIRE SKILLS:
* Exploding Arrow: 20 (Max) - Your main spammable attack.
* Immolation Arrow: 20 (Max) - High burst damage for bosses/elites.
* Fire Arrow: 20 (Max) - Hard synergy for damage.

PASSIVE & MAGIC SKILLS:
* Pierce: Enough points to reach 100% (after gear +skills). Usually ~9-12 points if using Razortail.
* Valkyrie: 1-20 (Depending on how much of a tank you need).
* Penetrate: 1+ (To help your chance to hit/Attack Rating).
* Inner Sight: 1 (Cast this to shred enemy defense).
* Critical Strike: 1 (The physical portion of your arrow still benefits).

=========================================
2. BEST-IN-SLOT (BiS) GEAR
=========================================
* WEAPON: "Phoenix" Runeword (Vex + Vex + Lo + Jah) in a +3 Skills Matriarchal Bow.
- Why: -28% Enemy Fire Resist and Redemption Aura for infinite Mana/Life.
* HELM: "Flickering Flame" Runeword (Nef + Pul + Vex).
- Why: +3 Fire Skills and Resist Fire Aura to counter the Sunder Charm penalty.
* AMULET: Highlord's Wrath (for IAS) or Mara's Kaleidoscope.
* ARMOR: "Enigma" (Jah + Ith + Ber) for mobility or "Chains of Honor" (Dol + Um + Ber + Ist) for resists.
* GLOVES: Magic/Rare Gloves with +3 Bow Skills and 20% IAS.
* BELT: Razortail (Crucial for 33% Pierce).
* RINGS: Raven Frost (Cannot Be Frozen) and Stone of Jordan.
* BOOTS: Silkweave (Mana After Each Kill) or War Traveler.

=========================================
3. INVENTORY & SUNDER
=========================================
* Flame Rift (Sunder Charm): Mandatory to break Fire Immunities in Hell difficulty.
* Amazon Torch & Annihilus.
* Grand Charms: +1 Bow & Crossbow Skills.
* Small Charms: All Resistances, Life, or Faster Hit Recovery (FHR).

=========================================
4. MERCENARY (ACT 2 - MIGHT)
=========================================
* Weapon: "Infinity" (Ber + Mal + Ber + Ist).
- Why: Conviction Aura is the only way to maximize damage against Sundered enemies.
* Helm: Andariel's Visage (Socketed with a Ral).
* Armor: "Fortitude" or "Treachery".

=========================================
5. QUICK STRATEGY TIPS
=========================================
1. THE PIERCE TRICK: Always aim for the back of a pack. If your arrow pierces 4 enemies, it explodes 4 times. 100% Pierce effectively quadruples your damage.
2. ROTATION: Fire one Immolation Arrow, then spam Exploding Arrow while the Immolation cooldown resets (0.6 seconds).
3. MANA FIX: If you don't have "Phoenix," keep an "Insight" Runeword on your Mercenary, or you will run out of mana in seconds.
