Manaleech is weak on javazon. Most of your damage comes from lightning, very little from physical. Maek (mana after each kill) is more useful - silkweaves, and if lucky you can have that on your rare 2 java/20ias gloves too. Get used to manapots

As people have said, razortail is the best belt for PvM javazon by far, 99% fcr doesn't justify what you lose from razortail

99% fcr amazon has only slightly faster teleport than a naked sorceress... Unless you're playing PVP I see no need to bother with 99%fcr on a javazon

And what do you think about knockback on gloves ? Is the effect really good ?

mana leech is actually reasonably strong on a javazon. Using eth titans and 6% ml ring means in chaos you might be leeching 8-12 mana back per hit, able to hit 1-5 hits per thrown java. Landing just 3 hits on venom lords might leech back as much mana as 7 kills with MAEK from silkweaves. Using both a mana leech ring and silkweaves gets to be overkill mana where you can do P8 chaos and use 0-1 mana potions per run.

just a basic setup like;

eth titans + 20/20 shield
cta + spirit
griffs (15/15 or 30 fr/15 ias)
highlords
3/20 gloves
raven
fcr ring (looking for affixes like 10% fcr, mana leech, mana after each kill, life leech, fire resist, stats/life/mana)
razortail
silkweaves or aldurs or rare boots
java gcs
life/resist (fire esp) charms
torch/anni
infinity merc

Not in pvm.

Ml on gloves ring is still solid, but not optimal.
Eth upped titans and might merc will make it more valuable ofc.

I prefer might because it ups your merc damage, which is nice when you need your merc to kill things with light resist that can't be broken

Oh wow, had no idea
Pretty tempted to try it actually, off and on to see if I can feel the difference

try that setup with might merc. You can get 3k phys damage, and against venom lords 6% ml = 15 mana leeched, vs doom knights including block its ~10 mana leeched
when you're spending ~32 mana per fury, that can easily stabilize your pool

you can have up to 20% life / 6% mana steal and +14 life / 5 mana after each kill just from titans + blood ring + silks
