This one looks good...
Shield: SS, is that stormshield or something else?


Stormshield, yes. But in softcore it's not needed. If you want block rather go with mosers 10/10 or something like that.

Those who recommend TG are idiots, don't listen to them ^^

Well, since I read the whole topic, some people say thundergods are better than razortail, so Im not rly sure which I wanna go for...

Im sorry, feeling like a noob here.. But what is treachery? Coulnd't find it on the arreat summit..


You either didn't read the guide properly, or you fail to understand the argument.

70-80% pierce is not enough.

Look at 3 monsters in a row:

Fury damage = say 30 bolts at 1k each for 30k damage on first hit.

With 80% - We do on average 30k + 0.8 x 30k + (0.8x0.8) x 30k damage ~ 73k damage.
With 100% - We do 3 x 30k because the jav will pierce every time = 90k damage.

We can pierce up to 4 times iirc.... Try the maths on that.

Treachery = 1.11 runeword. 45IAS, lvl 15 fade, lvl 15 venom. Stunning for the price of a Lem :)

Edit to add - There is a reason why the guide says that this is the only belt you should ever consider.

Amulet: Highlords
Weapon: Thunderstroke +4 or titans ?? --> titans
Armor: CoH
Shield: Mosers blessed circle or Stormshield? --> for sc mosers double faceted
Gloves: +2 java / 10-20% ias / str / dex
Ring 1: Raven frost
Ring 2: Soj / BK --> soj always.
Belt: Razortail
Boots: Silkweave for mana or sandstorm treks ?? --> treks are crappy pvm boots, use silks.

Has Phoenix been mentioned in this thread? I personally think that Phoenix is a staple on Javazons. It takes care of your life/mana like a charm.

Helm: 15/15 Griffons
Armor: Enigma
Belt: Arach
Rings: 1x Raven + 1x FCR Ring (48 BP)
Amulet: Highlords
Weapon: Titans
Shield: Phoenix
Boots: Waterwalks
Gloves: 3/20s

This is my teleport setup. 48 FCR is used so I don't completely suck at teleporting. I use this setup when I want to get around quicker and not kill everything that's in site. You're probably like, "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOUR RESISTANCES???" Yeah, well they're all about -38 or so. IMHO, resistances are overrated. I seriously take down mobs (even in 8 player games) before things get a chance to hurt me. Not to mention I only get hit at most 50% of the time. Even the ghosts in the worldstone don't give me trouble at all. Seriously, go try it before you give me a lecture on resistance.

Helm: 15/15 Griffons
Armor: Treachery
Belt: Razortail
Rings: 1x Raven + 1x Soj
Amulet: Mara's
Weapon: Titans
Shield: 10/10 + 30 ias/30 Res
Boots: Waterwalks
Gloves: 3/20s

A practical 95 IAS setup with plenty of damage and survivability. Again, Treachery wtf??? That's a free 45 ias/65 resistance at a very cheap price. "Well, you lose life from a 100/4os armor, or you lose skills from CoH!! Stop gimping yourself!" Yeah, fuck you my damage is fine, my life is still well above 3k, and I paid next to nothing for this armor and it works just as well. It's really not that hard to fade either. Just playing the game normally will usually get it done for you. Again, resistances are overrated on this character to begin with. inb4rageurdoinitwrong

Dodge lock rarely happens in PvM unless you run/teleport right into packs of mobs. Normally you should be able to keep a distance from the mobs and take 'em out easily.

I intended to make a repost, including Phoenix as my main switch shield, which was what I used on my last setup. Then I retired from d2 so I didn't bother remaking the whole thing. Your setup is fine and in no way I would criticize it the way you thought I would.
