lookinmg for best gear options to run p8 chaos. im lf/cs zon

i currently have eth titans/phx and a jmod with 4 5/5 lite die is what i use

my resist is terribbblleeee cause i use enigma and for some reason. can i switch out my highlords for maras to help with resist or do i need the ias??


or should i get rid of my skillers and get res charms?? or do i even need max res

topic tracked here..

I'm using a sanctuary troll nest and tri res boots to get positive resists, with jeweler tiara/mage plate with 5/5 lite jewels.

you should be killing stuff too fast to get hurt my anything. also, phoenix helps a ton for life and mana.

griff 15ias
tits
eni
20/-20 monarch
3/20 or 2/20 adds
razor
silks
hl
raven
soj/fcr ring (depends what you do on swap)

if i take phx off my mana is dog shit lol. even with silks and 15ias/3maek jewel in griffs

sprit gives you ~200 additional mana. with maek and/or ml and spirit you'll have a more reliable mana pool than you have with phoenix.

if you're hellbent on using phoenix, at least use it on swap and use spirit on main hand

if all you do is p8 chaos swap your titans for thunderstroke and replace 15 ias jewel with 5-5 in griffon. it's a big damage boost.
don't compromise with 68 fcr. slow tele frames slows down a zon's clear more than a lack of damage does.

Phoenix is garbage on java, better off using Spirit, Jmod or Storm Shield.
Unless super super budget then use a Rhyme or Sanctuary

when i put my jmod on my mana steel lacks hard. i even have a 10fcr 6ml 1maek ring and 15/3 in my grifffs i can link my gear idk wtf is wrong lol

in my experience, here is what my java uses and shes the fastest PVM char i've used in 2 decades.

griffons, cham'd
+2 ama/19 fcr/res/stats ammy
perf spirit
enigma
rare javs with, +2 ama+2jav/40 ias/replenish/3 MAEK (this allows 55 ias with just gloves and frees up griff socket for cham and allows 2 sojs)
rare gloves with 2 jav/20ias/14 dex/2 MAEK
2 sojs
razortail
silks

so much mana, so much maek. enough fcr to tele "quickly"

Use more mana pots.
Mana will always be an issue unless you want to use a light sunder and insight
