Is it worth removing the 5 5 facet in griffons to add 40 15 to meet the 52 ais breakpoint instead of the 30 ais breakpoint?

It depends on your build.
Paste it and then it will be easier to advise.

Normal Java gear.
24 19 griffons
Eth titans
Razortail
Spirit
10 fcr ring to meet fcr breakpoint
War travs
2 20 fire res gloves
Highlords
Enigma
Raven frost
Cta back hand with spirit
7 Java gc and 7 5 all res smcs

Nothing matters in pvm

Meets my res need and breakpoints but the difference would be the extra damage from 5 5 facet or 40 15 in griffons for the next ais breakpoints at 52.

- Its worth removing the 5 5 facet in griffon overall -NO

- Its worth removing the 5 5 facet in griffon in your case -YES

But 40/15 is overkill for griffon 19/14. Just put +35/15 instead

You think it would be better to just get the ais from tstrokes and keep the 5 5?

Im not big fan of tstrokes beacuse they dont have Replenishes Quantity.

If your gameplay focus more on Charged Strike/Lightning Strike - you could consider use tstrokes.
But if you like Lightning Fury like me, the best cheap option is use titans

40ed-15ias jewel? Why on earth would you do that? The 40%ed is completely irrelevant for any Java.
If you dont want the 5-5 anymore because you want to reach the ias brekpoint then you go with a 15ias/15@res jewel. Don't waste a 40ed-15ias

Animaurobr for sure needs emphasize, don't waste ED (especially 40/15 jewels) for Lightning specific damage... even as a hybrid zon in PvM. If you are too poor for Infinity merc then go POISON to kill light immunes. OR just go Guided arrow/multi to single target Light immunes.
