I went with bowa using a faith, donated by friend. Even with fort, my damage blows....

If you're MF-ing you're probably better off going java. Bowazon needs pretty top-notch gear to drop mobs fast (and I use the term 'fast' very loosely), and you're not gonna be able to stack much MF after taking said gear into consideration.

If your pvming java

Yup. In what little time I messed around in somewhat top notch gear, it def looks like Java will work better

i vote Bowa with Faith

i use javazon with eth up'd titans and phoenix shield. chaos clear fast and baal clear fast, and best thing, i dont run out of mana

thanks! i've settled on the java just working on gearin her. so this info is much appreciated.

Java is obviously the most answered answer and if you don't mind going the most popular way, it's surely is a fun mf character imo!

Java for sure

I have one on East Ladder currently and it’s the only character I enjoy playing strictly for PvM.

I prefer Thunderstrokes, however I use Eth Up’d Titans with Phoenix so I never run out of Mana. CS pretty much 2-3 hits every boss with semi-decent gear so I keep a cube in my iventory with shield/jav swap for bosses.

Clearing Chaos / Baal / Trav / Meph / Etc - Titans with Phoenix

All boss Killing - 6/40’s or Thunderstrokes with 4x Ist’d Jmod

I made the same mistake as you with making my first Javazon 12 years too late but it’s been a blast. My gear is a little higher tier but you can enjoy the game with a character under 300-400 fg easy.
