Ladder 2.5 Sunder Javzon without Infinity/Enigma/Griffon.

So I started the new season with Javzon. Wanted to min max the Sunder Javzon without Enigma or Infinity so I can see how she does with those key gears to make Javzon absolutely GG as usual. Have been trying different gearing to see how she does for 3 days.

And THIS spec is it. This is the best Javzon spec withtout Infinity and Enigma. I've done a ton of P8 Chaos and Baal myself and she is always in the lead wrecking everything, it feels like Javzon with Infinity. The Sunder charm is a very good item.

Key Breakpoints to hit with her. 95% IAS BP. That's for max ias bp for both Throwing and Attacking for Amazon with Javelin.

You get that from

45 Treachery
15 TStroke Jav
15 Catseye (P1-P3) or Highlord (P4 and Up)
20 Jav Glove

Gears:

TStroke 4 Skills ED doesn't matter
Valk Helm with Light Facet
Treachery
Razortail
2/20 Jav Gloves
Silkweave
Raven
Any Random Ring
Catseye and Highlord

Jav Skillers
Light and Fire Small Charms

Naj Staff on offhand to teleport the Frenzy Merc

Merc:

Dual Plague
Tal Mask oe Arreat
Treachery

Skills:

1 on Dodge/Evasion/Avoid/Crit Strike/Penetration/Pierce
1 on Impale
Max Light Fury/Charged Strike then all the rest on its synergies


I was doing fine without Anni and Torch but of course they add a good chunk of All Resistance.

I soloed Dclone myself with Fade prebuff without a single pot. Then I did over 10 Dclone yesterday for others without Fade proc since I was lazy and I used 3 pots each time.

The resistance charms you just need to get some 10-11 light res and fire small charms to boost it a little.

And I didn't even respec once since the ladder. I started as a javzon and stayed with it. Now I should probably respec to redo the stats since I did put some on energy while lvling and I don't need to put as much strength and dex now that I have added Torch and Anni.

Once you get to use the Sunder charm. You now can deal small dmg to the light immunes. It's not too bad for P1 but you MUST add some -light res on mobs to do some serious damage on immunes. Sunder makes light immune resistance down to 95%. That means they only take 5% of your light dmg.

You add 5% on the Valkyrie Helm and you must use TStroke to use that 15% light resistance lowering. So you now you have downed Immune light resistance to 75%. This makes a world of difference in terms of actual damage done to the sundered light immune mobs.

Then for the merc, I was using the Insight holy freeze merc without any issue.

But then I wanted to maximize the damage output without getting into Infinity merc.

So I came up with the Dual Plague Frenzy Barb merc. If you do this, the Lower Resist curse proc a lot. In this video, it doesn't proc much since I'm 1-2 shotting everything but it procs a ton in P8 runs where it takes a few more shots to down all the mobs.

Level 12 Lower Resist from the Plague runeword gives 57% lowering all resistance.

And Conviction 12 from Infinity goes 85% lowering all resistance.

So you are basically having a mini Infinity merc at a fraction of Infinity cost.

Lower Resist curse does 20% penetration on light immunes so it does 11.4% but the curse does full effect on non light immunes so big extra damage :)

For Dclone or bosses in P8, hit him with Impale ONCE then CS away. Impale slow is very good but it only works for odd hits. So make sure to hit once. If you hit him 1 more time, the slow will be gone. Then don't panic and just impale him one more time.

So this is it. I can confidently say this exact spec is the best Sunder Charm Javzon spec in the game before Infinity 🙂

Full skills/stats/gearing posted at the end of the video.

Enjoy!

Didn't change much from pre 2.5 days. The typical convenient Titan plus phoenix at 55ias spec or 2/2/40 rare jav at 95ias is great.

Kimsulki84 - Ladder 2.5 Sunder Javzon Without Infinity/Enigma Spec V2 - P8 Chaos Solo

Buddy gave me an advice to make it even better so here it is doing P8 Chaos Solo.

Switched Merc helm and chest to Flickering Flame and Skin of Flayed.

Switched Spirit and Ammy to Faceted Lidless Wall and Highlord.

The result is max Fire Res before Fade proc, 5 more Mana after each kill and 1 more Light Facet.

It's a little more balanced and definitely higher damage.

That's life after kill not mana. And fire and poison res on them aren't really needed since flickering and plague merc will take care of both.

But yes mosers, headhunters and lidless are all great option for this.

I like lidless for the utility too much.
