Wouldn't Phoenix be a fantastic shield for this character? It's what I use. The redemption aura is awesome.


I used it as a switch shield.

What would be better to use? Jmod with 20/20 lite or Jmod with 4x 15ias/15res jewels?

For PvM purposes, definitely 20/20.

Why is cats eye suggested here ? If its PVM surely you want as much + damage as possible. The only real option is surely highlords due to the +1 Skill, +20 IAS ? If you have enough IAS a rare with +2 Skills life & mass resistances is more desired?

Griffin (IAS/Res or Facet if you dont need the IAS)
Highlords (or rare +2 +life + mass resist if you dont need the IAS)
Thunderstroke or rare/magic 2 2 40 or 6 40, I have never used thunderstroke, but if we want the IAS, surely 2 2 40 (with repl) is desired here instead? As throw invariable results in the game crashing, we dont really need phys damage (titans or rare's with ED)
Enigma unless using a tele amulet (rare +2 ama +mass resists etc) i think enigma is the only way to go, to control merc conv etc and for speed of chaos runs...)
stormshield or 4 sox shield (res/ias facets) 20/20 seems the best idea for killing speed, but where else to get resistances if using enigma and silkweave boots?
Phoenix & CTA on switch looks pretty obvious to me.
3/20 or 2/20 adds are the obvious choice for gloves.
Raven + rare (dual leech?). If silkweave do the job, then a Bk looks the obvious choice here.
Razortail belt.
Silkweave for the essential + mana after each kill.

merc Infinity / treachery / w/e helmet you want (leech is nice) looks the standard option.

my question is, is there an essential IAS breakpoint (or fcr breakpoint) to aim for ?

Dex and frw vs 1 skill. It can be worth the trade-off. It doesn't affect your damage that much and has useful mods - comes down to personal preference.

Raven / SoJ would be a pretty solid ring combination. With Phoenix on switch and Silkweaves you won't need mana steal - which I found to be less efficient than I thought it would be.

You'd be fine with 30 or 52 ias as well. I went overkill a bit with this build.

how about if you change the amulet to a 3 ama skiller with 8% ML
and they get Gorerider boots or something instead? could that work?

Why in earth would you want ml on a javazon? shit doesnt work good enough. If you dont have a insight merc in party you can use a phoenix shield.
