You’re going in the opposite direction that everyone is telling you.

Why so much FHR? Really not as important for D2R with the next hit delay changes they made.

Botd Matriarchial spear cannot be thrown, youd be a sitting duck.
All theese fhr charms are not needed. Dodge = No stun now, when you do FHR cannot be triggered, and you should have 75% block with Stormshield and then its FBR that matters and Stormshield has nice FBR.
So there is only like 5-10% of enemy strikes that FHR affects.
In pvp life actually matters on a zon, yes we typically put some extra dex for damage.

Cube cast is 100% legit, a real cta + a faith bow actually makes bow effective slot, instead of a last hit wonder.

Here is a video of a simular sin, using cs instead of impale, you will have all theese extra tool's if you build with Faith and 1 handed jav:

Has "Impale" changed since LoD?

It is a Melee attack and Strength is paramount for more damage, not Dexterity.

Using Impale decreases Durability of the weapon faster than normal attacks.

Compare the D2r skills vs the Arreat Summit link here: https://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/skills/amazon-javelin.shtml#impale

impale is a bm build, so build it propper bm to be effective.

20 pts impale
20 pts plague
20 pts poison


rest wherever u want but passives are good, or u can dump some in guided arrow.

Enigma
cleglaws gloves
blackhorn helm
cats eye amulet
nosf belt
wisp projector ring
ravenfrost
stormshield
Javelins (u need 92+ ias for 13 frame impale on jav side) must be javs with -10 speed maiden/winged harpoon/hyperion/mat etc etc

SWAP Faith shadow bow / BOTD Ghost Spear

Ur goal is to hit one impale on javelin side first, and then kite with either BOTD GS (5 range) or Faith Shadow bow (must have 65 ias bow side, 15 aura faith)
The plague dmg is insane, but most ppl will counter this with antidotes or some scuffed setup, so ur impale will pump.



For higher fcr (68) just run normal telebowa setup.


hands down best BM zon build.
