How do you calculate it?

Throwing Spear
12 to 30 (21 Avg)
5 to 15 (10 Avg)
65
2
80
[-10]
Ama, Asn - Very Fast
B, D, N, P, S - Fast
29

The reason i ask is because it has high damage, 80 stack, and fast attack speed... going to use normal attack+throw amazon with critical strike for hcl, maybe 1 point in jab. Unorthodox, but fun. But i wonder when it becomes available. Need 65 dex, so i wonder if i have to spend a lot of points fast, or if i can invest in hit points early and make the start a bit easier... so treehead woodfist doesn't knock me into oblivion, although i will try to stay at range and chuck javs fast, he does close in fast.

Not meaning to spam, 4 hour rule is long gone, but i really need an answer to this. It's like, throwing spear has 10 average damage. The next best item on the list is war javelin at level 18 or maiden javelin at level 17, at 12.5 and 11 damage respectively. After that, i need to be at level 25 to start using better javelins ... it's going to be rough. Diablo has nearly 14 000 hit points, so i better be doing at least 100 damage after crit if having any chance. Or if i follow the 2-h spear on switch with impale strategy, i may do more, but it gets riskier. But we'll see.

I would like to know when throwing spear becomes available?

Throwing spear is qlvl 29, so Act 4 normal has the first lvl 29 monsters that can drop throwing spears.

Throwing spears appear in the gambling screen starting at character level 25.

You can glitch rush your character to get 15 extra stat points at level 1. Ethereal throwing spears require only 55 dexterity to equip. You can make up the rest of the stats with charms or other gear.

This answer costs 10 fg. You agree to payment after reading this answer.

Is that how quality level works? I thought every item and/or monster had a magic level or specific list certain items could drop from?

But anyway, thanks!

Glitch rushing is not for me, this is for start of hardcore ladder, i will do it myself :)

I know ethereal is lesser strength, but they will run out quick. And not so easy to find.

Good tip about gambling! Most likely the better choicee. But i had hoped they become possible to use at a earlier level. This means i have to get stuck with lesser javelins ........ it will be a hard battle.

Since you gave some valuable input, and since i believe in giving when getting, i mean if i should have gotten what i deserve on this site, i would be a multi-millionaire of fg ... but people aren't like that .. but -I- am .... so i will pay 5 fg for your answer since i knew some before, but you gave some valuable insight.

Just use the normal javs at the start and add in any elemental damage items like gems into socketed items you can wear and just kite kill... also your Rogue benefits with elemental damage items on socketed bow / armor & helm etc.

Jab is a base starter skill to choose for hand to hand attacks (close range fighting), you can also use some of the poison jav skills early on and respec later if you are going another route.

When I start with an Amazon, I always throw javs at up to like level 30, unless I find a useful bow or whatever.

Hope this helps, however I know you know how to play your amazon at the start.

Yeah i guess that must be the plan ... still thinking about the tankzon stuff, then can still ofc use javelins.. but will throw them as you write. They deal damn good damage for that early when thrown. With crit.

Gems are good, but can't stick'em in the javvies, but can do with j00ls... +3 max damage jools, nice. Hoping some kind of stuff wil drop.

I will use 1 pt in jab, yes. It's like a 50% increased attack speed or so... but adding more, mana cost goes up, and not good.

Nah it's good to get some insight. Thank you again.

Thanks and no problem.

I actually misread the title ... Tankzon build, now that is an old one, based around the Impale skill if I remember correctly. Not sure how D2:R mechanics, or if they improved the Spearazon / Tankzon build (skills or items), one thing I do remember though on LoD... you have to repair frequently since impale (think that is the skill) deals mass damage but also means more durability is lost on your weapon, the Impale skill is also ridicously slow. Not sure if they fixed any of those issues since 1.08 LoD ... I believe that was when the Tankzon/Spearazon was first thought of.

Hope this helps you in getting some more research on it, but they did say that Jab was used more often, especially for crowd control.

Eyy .... yeah it's like, now i've done act 2 sonn, now i got mssage that reaset is comin in 2 adys, so gonna just stop there. Impale is like, i gott ause a big power spear on switch, not the 1 h shield combo, it doesn't work well, dommage must increase exponentially, like BANG! 150 dmg max, with crit, now you can hurt the bosses. But we'll see, jab works great actually, like fast attack speed, the shield blocks, i'm happy wit hthe setup.

Lvl 24 comes fend, gonna switch to dat for big packs like. Jab gonna be for general use, n maybe if i get wepaons with like lower dommage but bigg adde dmg.. we'll see huh ^^

Now, i know the loss of dura .. but not gonna use impale other than bosses n other such hard creatures... won't be an issue.

Now. ONe more thing. i get to llvl 19. I tried gambleing the glaive (qlvl23) in elxiz act2. I can't get it to spawn, clvl -4 +5. What am i doin wrong? I know there's a link to all weapons possbile to gamble in all levels. Do you have that link?
