I'll just shove in a few minor technical adjustments.


110 % IAS (15 + 20 + 40 + 15 + 20). With JMoD and Cat's, it is 95 %, with Stormshield and the fcr amulet, it is 90 %.

86 % fhr is not reached with the gear outlined (24 + 10 + 3*12 + 2*5 = 80) unless those rare 30 fr/w boots have 20 % fhr (pre-patch) instead of 10. I think you ought to mention this and otherwise adjust the number of fhr charms to cross the 86 % fhr breakpoint.

Same goes for those 140% fr/w ... 45 + 30 + 30 + 8*3 = 129, unless the scs are 5 fr/w (not spawnable anymore) instead of 3 fr/w.


Well, 13%+ fcr should suffice (25 + 10 + 13 = 48). But since you can only craft either (5-10)% fcr or (15-20)% fcr; (11-14) % fcr is impossible, 15 %+ fcr is the required amount.

Aside from this, your guide generally seems to be quite well put together. Concise.

I am not sure what he was getting at with the 110 % IAS (15 + 20 + 40 + 15 + 20).  The you need 89%ias to hit the breakpoint for both cs and lf while using a base -10%ias javs.  That means 100% total or 90% with stormshield and fcr amulet and base -10 javs.  Hope this helps.

What a terrible build.

Hmm you state 100 ias when it is 95 ias for CS and 89 for LS - so surely 95 ias is optimal break point
Another major point is your CS skill level will always be below 45 - this is important as below 45 you only get 11 CS spikes, at 45 you get 12, which can make a big difference.

Also your res is dependent on 20 torch 20 anni, Griff 15@ 10x scs 5@ = 90 = +5 @ in hell ( accounting for Anya bug ) or +35@ if you never die in game..

Even with 35@ and 'never dying' you are asking 40@ from belt/boots/gloves which giving they also need fhr + str + stats also makes them top 10 realm items or 1.08/09 dupes.
If you duel another java - you will get no benefit from tgods unless your stack is 60 light (90 with bug) and this must come from just your gloves + boots now - duel a java without tg's is your choice, but standard practice.

Yes storm adds to resists but in java v java duel you will still have very low stack - and lower damage if you use storm.

Main point here is resists + flexibilty - why not use 60ias 60@ jmod as primary shield? This releases amulet, all 2 java kb gloves can be used - if you keep the 40/4 javs then 20/25 griff etc etc

Normal java set up would be:

Eth upg titans
Enigma
Stat ama amulet - 2sk fcr 20str 20 dex res or mara 30 depends on opponent
2 java 20ias kb gloves
60/60 jmod
griff with 15/15 jwl
Dungos/BB or tgods depending on opponent
Rings raven + free choice
Boots - Demon tracks, or shadows - yes they are very useful to enigma java imo
Handy stash item for pubby duels vs melee is coa

If your char is euscnl I will eat my words if you 5-0 my java - who also gets 86fhr 95ias 9.8k (lvl 45) cs and 4.3K life with much more res@ 1k more life & more choice on set ups?

this is more like gear set up imo
