I read the ones before that, and it was hilarious..


No, wait, i mean, he's right, if you don't think a wizzy/spirit switch psn telebowa >all then obviously you should get rid of any trace of you ever playing the game.

Thats not dueling. Thats l8zing for 50+ minute duels.
And it doesn't work, lol

its so obvious he's being sarcastic lol...

What could you ever mean? ^^

Of course a 13 damage bowa > everything.


But yea, you should've just dueled him without wagering FG, just to get the enjoyment of slaughtering him..

Theres an old parable about a jack squirting cider in your ear, and what color necktie the other person is wearing.
I figure I'd rather grab him by the necktie than get an earful of cider, so to speak.

still iso.

Ok, so one of the biggest flaws with this guide so far is that its still optimized for an Eth Titans build. And for me, on ladder, that works perfectly.
But on NL, and especially with mass imports and shopped items, its perfectly realistic to acquire a +2 zon +2 java 400% ed eth/rep javelin with 40% ias.
So in that spirit, this build needs a design for mass twinking. After some discussion in another thread, heres a good idea of what it could look like:

http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=56998410&f=103

Ideally if your ridiculous javas had kb too, you could switch to rare gloves instead of crafts (gain 2 more affixes)
Now I won't ever use hybrid r/ws or any other hacked item, but if you do, that lets you get the 90% bp on jav side and 7 fpa on bow while using a cham in your helm, whereas with a normal faith, you have to go cham in SS- no CBF in bow form
But in all actuality, thats perfectly fine. If you get hit by a melee attack in bow form you're going to die anyway, and if you get hit by a blizz without the resists on your SS, you're probably dead, so hey. It would only really make a difference vs orb sorcs- all else, the freeze lasts like 0.5 seconds anyway



You lose the lightning bonus on griffons, which hurts, hard. But if thats the tradeoff to hit 90% on your java speed and 7 fpa on your bow, I think its worth it. For 7 fpa on your bow alone, it is NOT worth it.
So don't get me wrong- griffs + ravenfrost is the way to go if you can't get a 40/400/etc java, and anything but the absolute best javelin is totally dwarfed by eth titans
You should never use 4/40 javelins that don't have physical damage on a damach zon. It is NOT the same as a PvM cs zon that needs no physical. Don't use them, ever
I guess if you had to appraise it, I'd say anything above 75% of the overall damage of Titans is where I'd draw the line.

So anything below a 300% ed on a non-eth +4 / 40% ias java would probably be worse than titans overall, and anything less than 175% ed or so on the same thing with eth/rep.
Don't get fooled into using a weapon that only deals half the damage on titans but has a faster BP. The +20 dexterity and +30% FRW on titan is worth *a lot*; it means less dex for max block, significantly faster juking and slightly extra damage to make up the gap. Now if you have a 450% ed, 40% ias +2 zon skills ethereal repairing matriarchal javelin with knockback, then yeah, obviously use that. But for those that are worse, its a tough call on a case-by-case basis.
