Hmm These are the d2r changes to her phsyical javelin skills

Impale:
This skill is now an uninterruptible attack

Attack Rating modification has been removed, now this skill will always hit the target
This skill now slows the target by a percentage for a duration
Animation speed increased by 30%

Fend:

Attack Speed increased by 100% (Reduced the rollback frames value between each attack)


I've been using my 1 point wonder Fend more now than i did in LoD, and it seems better, so with a repec i might dump more into it. Not sure if they ever fixed the "Next hit always misses" bug that would happen after a dodge or block, but she seems to hit lots of things now so maybe so.
But i wonder if Impale is worth using a bit? Gaurenteed hit and slows target. Maybe a good 1 point wonder against bosses.


Also my new tech for screenshots will be to play with a square window instead of the ginormous wide screen. save on cropping.



Also continuing the thought of switching to 2H weapons.

I had found a Hone Sudan unique yari before, but didnt keep it cuz not much space in LoD, and also didnt think i'd go that way, but if i find another i will keep it and upgrade it! That alone might be the power i need.
Or maybe a lycander's flank? probably not as good, but an option.
Arioc's needle? The 4 skills would be super nice, and it seems fast.

But looking at runeword options, i can make EBOTD, CTA, and even Silence out of spears,
All sounds kinda nice, except silence damage might be low, but the skills+res+leech all sound nice.
CTA kind of would be a nice all in one option. +1 skill, attack speed, damage, MF% and BO of course. Then i can still keep alibaba on swap.
EBOTD might just be a dope end game weapon i can grind for. Maybe to fight ubers with.

I just really can't bank on an eth titans ever dropping, or some insane rare java. My 1H damage feels almost capped at this point barring 300%ed from fort. so i'm def gravitating to the idea of 2handers.

Dang i must be rusty at this game. Thought it would be a good idea to go to Mausoleum(lvl85) to look for elite sword bases for my merc. I was thinking of pushing act 2 before getting a new shield, but i thought to myself i'd die to scarab beetles because my light res was only 22, then this brilliant plan lead me right to a lightning enchanted elite, and for some reason i wasn't as concerned???





GG, Rest in peace JabFighterV, you were a shit game, and a frustrating d2 character!


Thx for everyone who tuned in!
Sad i didn't get to respec and try out the new options i had.
If i played jabber again i would go straight for 2 handed weapons and rock a Hustle armor with it. This was def the slowest build i've ever tried. With that plan, and also fend/impale being buffed, it would prob be a smoother run.
I wonder if i will remake or if ill do something different next.
