Javazon is pretty tanky in hardcore when geared. I don’t max block but definitely put points into dodge, avoid, evade. Use the Valkyrie. With anni and torch you don’t even need to invest many skill points. Use stormshield, tgods or string of ears for your belt, and for extra survivability wisp and dwarf star. Use cure on your merc. Max resists and you’re good. You really need to try to die with that setup. I’ve played it in hc both online and offline and have never been in much danger. Is he playing reckless and under geared?
This is his first time as a zon,
First was a druid
Then a PnB necro
Last one was a trapsin that he DC'd on and died
