Hi guys

Im currently doing a java hc p8 walk and im currently farming NM for items.

If i remember correcrly my last jav when i made it to hell was extremely hard....i remember even struggling with den, it seems all the LR of monsters on p8 is extremely high not to mention immunes and that was even with titans etc.

Whats an ideal gear setup to aim for being that i can do some optimal dmg and have pretty decent resists?

Also how bout my merc? Im thinking obedience with either guli or gaze and treachery?

Also what about Peace vs Treachery for my zon? Pros and cons?

Thank you for youre help

Merc sounds good gotta get to lk for infintiy asap tho
Peace higher damage
Treachery higher ias bp= higher dps +res
The lr on monsters is generally not very high use a lr wand and most immunes except enchant+immune will generally break

You need a second element. ~30 pts in FA + synergy works well. Poison isn’t as good due to psn+lit immune being common.

If you find a good bow, L6 Strafe can also work. NM meph can drop Witchwild.

Some people will tell you to jab your way thru hell but that’s gonna be a painful journey.

No, he expects to 1 tap 900 screens with 1 fury /p8 early hell.

Java is always slow /p8 hell even with good nightmare EQ, not really need tho.

How to java>run to LK>make infy>delete char>go again

Always treachery.
Pros Peace sucks
Cons Peace sucks

You answered your own question, GJ!

Don't use guili tho your merc wants that leech and you don't need CB as a java.

You only need razortail and a strong merc.

peace is only an early temp armor for beefy valk and +2
if you can make treachery, make it. fade proc + huge ias is far too great.

can easily shop some 2/20/++ gloves
farm nm meph till your hands turn blue for razortail/titans. i think you can get cats eye from nm meph too?
get rid of gui on merc. use cot/tals/andys whatever leech you can get.

ignore the FA comment, that's a huge waste of points unless you're wanting to play a hybrid. 1 point in jab works fine until infinity. most LI's you can ignore, or if you're farming a place like pits, you can kill them easily with jab and still stay safe with merc/valk/slow missiles

in addition to all the above also level up. Don't enter Hell until at least lvl 80

I was in same shoes, then I went back to Nightmare and restatted maxing my Valk. Made things much much easier.
Still be careful, I rip’d in Catacombs after opening one door and getting one shot by Afflicteds I couldn’t see.
