Nice walk-through, loving the all craft javazon.

DEX needed for max block = {(150 * clvl) / blocking} + 15, rounded up.

BTW, I think you can make it all the way to hell baal. Res could become a problem soon, I guess charms could help there.


Charms are definitely the way I'll make up res. I started grinding A4, but Souls are tearing me up, so I'm going to park myself in LK for a while and see if I can pick up some more LR SCs.

Thanks for the formula. I did some number crunching the other day, and it looks like my stat profile is going to look something like this at lvl 80:

STR - 125 (20) 105
DEX - 175 (25) 150
VIT - 275 (20) 255

With that, I can achieve Max Block if I can craft a Dragon Shield of Deflecting + Eld Rune + a 10% Block Ammy. Those seem like reasonable goals unless I can't craft a DOD. What would be really sweet is an Artisans Dragon of Deflecting, which I think can be crafted.

Introducing Safetydance, the Anti-Cookie Cutter Javazon

I'm not very far into this character, but I wanted to post this to judge interest in reading it.

Background
I've wanted to make a character that used only crafted gear for a long time. I've loved the barb and pally walks where people use crafted weapons only. But I've always enjoyed the javazon, so Safetydance will only use white or Safety Crafted items.

What does this mean: Lots of gem farming, lots of grinding, lots of screaming at bad RNG rolls.

What else does it mean: No farming for hours for Titans, Razortail, Raven, Highlords, Griffins, CtA, Enigma, Phoenix.

What else, else does it mean: I'm going to die at some point. It's inevitable.

Rules
* Can only use white or Safety Crafted items
* Merc can use any gear
* Hardcore
* P8 except for re-runs

Skills
20 - CS
20 - LF
20 - LB
20 - PS
6 - Passives
<rest> - LS or Valk

Possible End Game Gear
4/40 Crafted Javas - Pretty sure these are possible
10% MR Dragon Shield (not going for the Monarch probably)
+2 / 10% Blocking Ammy
2 / 20 War Gauntlets

I completely forgot to take a screenshot of the character selection screen, so here she is taking down Corpsefire.

If merc can use any gear then he can pretty much do the whole walk for you. It's gona be a grind though
Don't forget lower resist wand on switch for immune mobs/bosses

I'm not sure if crafting a LR wand is within the rules since I'm only using Safety Crafted items. I would have to craft Caster wands to get that.
