Guide for a MF-Javazon

1. Introduction

This is a guide for everyone. That means you don't need to have high-end stuff to kill very good in hell.

Pros:

? High Dmg also with crappy weapon
? Good for fast Mf-runs in hell act5
? Excellent against massive groups of enemies
? Get alot of money (well, it depends on how many items you sell)

Negs:

? Often Mana problems ( you can remedy that with mana pots )
? Without good stuff she has hard problems with Lightning enchanted enemies
? She has to run from groups of lightning immunes unless she has a very nice merc
? Probably the biggest problem is to get to act5 hell. Afterwards you can level yourself up in mf runs.


2. Stats

Strength: min. 97 (skullders ire) / max. That u can wear your preferred equip
Dexterity: As much that you get max block
Vitality: rest
Energy: None

Resistances:
Fire: A must to be high otherwise you die when shenk or eldritch are fire enchanted

Cold: Good enough that you don't die of 1 Frost-nova when the uniques die

Lightning: If you want to kill lightning enchanted yourself, get a high resistance in that

Poison: Less important (I prefer reducing duration of psn dmg)


3. Skills

Passive & Magic Skills
? 1-2 Critical Strike
? 1 Dodge (helps alot with +skills from equip)
? 1 Avoid (ditto)
? 1 Evade (ditto)
? 1 Penetrate (just to get Pierce)
? 1 Pierce (should be high enough with +skills)


Javelin & Spear Skills
? 1 Jab (prereq.)
? 20 Power Strike
? 1 Poison Javelin
? 20 Lightning Bolt
? 20 Charged Strike
? 1 Plague Javelin
? 20 Lightning Strike
? 20 Lightning Fury

= a total of 108 Skillpoints i.e. you can put the remaining points where you prefer them. Best in my opinion would be Pierce or some dodging skill (depends on how much +skills you get from your equipment)


4. Items

(note: this is best equipment measured between dmg and mf you could have)

Helmet: Shako socket with pt or ist
Armor: Skullders Ire socket with pt or ist
Belt: Upgraded Goldwrap
Rings: 2x perf. Nailrings
Amulet: +3 javelin skills
Weapon: Titans (because of the godly + to skills) / If you cant afford titans watch out for very fast (most important) and +skills javelin as possible
Shield: 4-isted monarch / Rhyme with high block / Whitstan's Guard / Stormshield / Lidless
Gloves: IAS and +skills gloves with much %mf on it / perf. Chance guards
Boots: perf. Wartravellers / near perfect

As many life and resis and mf charms as possible ( remember: You need to have some space left to place the items there)
Faster Run in general is really good to shorten your mf-runs! Get it where it?s possible you will like it.


5. Strategy

First you need a merc. Best choice is defensiv act 2 merc. It?s your choice to take the one with Holy Frost or the other with Defiance.

Gameplay:

Take wp to highlands act 5, walk till you see eldritch and shoot on the group there like on the following screenshot:



The monsters that are left afeter your attack you should kill with Charged Strike (It?s the one i use on left mouse button in that pic)

Afterwards walk down to shenk and do the same as with eldritch. Then quit and make a new game until you can?t bear it again.


6. Last words

If you follow this guide you can really fast do mf runs on hell. It really rocks because you can kill almost every monster in 1-2 hit(s). In addition you can also do pindle runs but that needs some more experience and better equipment since those undead guys do high dmg in 1.1 with their charge attack.

If you have further questions, suggestions and/or improvements just contact me i'll try to answer as good and fast as possible.

You put this together way too fast. I'd revise it and update it, or else I am gonna have to point out all the flaws. ;)

First off, I'd get dex to max block, and keep pumping into dex and vit equally.

Second off resists should all be maxed, regardless..

Third off the skill setup is horrible:

Lookup djnat's bowazon guide to see why. (I'm too lazy to list everything)

Pros:

? High Dmg also with crappy weapon
? Good for fast Mf-runs in hell act5
? Excellent against massive groups of enemies
? Get alot of money (well, it depends on how many items you sell)


1) Crappy weapon? Come on now....Titans is NOT a crappy weapon, if anything.
2) Fast runs- if you have good gear.
3) Right, excellent vs big groups
4) Money...come on now....

Negs:

? Often Mana problems ( you can remedy that with mana pots )
? Without good stuff she has hard problems with Lightning enchanted enemies
? She has to run from groups of lightning immunes unless she has a very nice merc
? Probably the biggest problem is to get to act5 hell. Afterwards you can level yourself up in mf runs.


1) Mana problems? That means you need a better weapon with high damage- depending on your attack. Also, leech would help when attacking big groups.

2) Running all the time? Depends, if you have a strong weapon and alot of +skills, jab can wreak havoc all over Lightning immunes.

3) Getting there is not a problem unless you are playing through. Then again, that happens with every character.

2. Stats

Strength: min. 97 (skullders ire) / max. That u can wear your preferred equip
Dexterity: As much that you get max block
Vitality: rest
Energy: None


Strength: 97 at most, but you can try going with Enigma for lower strength and still good mf, as well as a slew of other good bonuses.
Dexterity: Yes, enough till you get max block.


Resistances:
Fire: A must to be high otherwise you die when shenk or eldritch are fire enchanted

Cold: Good enough that you don't die of 1 Frost-nova when the uniques die

Lightning: If you want to kill lightning enchanted yourself, get a high resistance in that

Poison: Less important (I prefer reducing duration of psn dmg)


Fire: try for like 25 or so here.
Cold: a ravenfrost is good enough here.
Lightning: try for at least 50 here, depending on how you play [if you melee alot]
Poison: Don't bother.

3. Skills

Passive & Magic Skills
? 1-2 Critical Strike
? 1 Dodge (helps alot with +skills from equip)
? 1 Avoid (ditto)
? 1 Evade (ditto)
? 1 Penetrate (just to get Pierce)
? 1 Pierce (should be high enough with +skills)


Javelin & Spear Skills
? 1 Jab (prereq.)
? 20 Power Strike
? 1 Poison Javelin
? 20 Lightning Bolt
? 20 Charged Strike
? 1 Plague Javelin
? 20 Lightning Strike
? 20 Lightning Fury

= a total of 108 Skillpoints i.e. you can put the remaining points where you prefer them. Best in my opinion would be Pierce or some dodging skill (depends on how much +skills you get from your equipment)


Good Skills, I'd say to put all the rest of your points into Pierce, so when you use Lightning Fury, you can leech.

4. Items

(note: this is best equipment measured between dmg and mf you could have)

Helmet: Shako socket with pt or ist
Armor: Skullders Ire socket with pt or ist
Belt: Upgraded Goldwrap
Rings: 2x perf. Nailrings
Amulet: +3 javelin skills
Weapon: Titans (because of the godly + to skills) / If you cant afford titans watch out for very fast (most important) and +skills javelin as possible
Shield: 4-isted monarch / Rhyme with high block / Whitstan's Guard / Stormshield / Lidless
Gloves: IAS and +skills gloves with much %mf on it / perf. Chance guards
Boots: perf. Wartravellers / near perfect

As many life and resis and mf charms as possible ( remember: You need to have some space left to place the items there)
Faster Run in general is really good to shorten your mf-runs! Get it where it?s possible you will like it.


Armor: Enigma, hands down.
Helm: Shako with Ist or Perfect Topaz
Belt: Goldwrap
Ring 1: Ravenfrost
Ring 2: Manald / Naglering
Weapon 1: Titan's Revenge [Upgraded] / MF Shield [like Rhyme for good blocking, too]
Weapon 2: Call to Arms / Lidless Wall
Gloves: Try for +2, 20% IAS, MF, and leech. Resist is also common, try for ones with 2x above 30%
Boots: War Travelers or good Rares

5. Strategy

First you need a merc. Best choice is defensiv act 2 merc. It?s your choice to take the one with Holy Frost or the other with Defiance.


Both Holy Freeze and Defiance would work well here too.

Gameplay:

Take wp to highlands act 5, walk till you see eldritch and shoot on the group there like on the following screenshot:

The monsters that are left afeter your attack you should kill with Charged Strike (It?s the one i use on left mouse button in that pic)

Afterwards walk down to shenk and do the same as with eldritch. Then quit and make a new game until you can?t bear it again.


Do the Eldritch/Shenk/Pindle Run. Also andy if you can teleport well enough.

6. Last words

If you follow this guide you can really fast do mf runs on hell. It really rocks because you can kill almost every monster in 1-2 hit(s). In addition you can also do pindle runs but that needs some more experience and better equipment since those undead guys do high dmg in 1.1 with their charge attack.

wtf is wrong with you all, havent you read my post?

Thats more like character build, not a guide, guide is more thorough and more detailed with various items to use, etc..

Sry Drizz, but thats character build, not guide.

Soujiro do you have a problem with me? Is it because I haven't taken the time to write a (no offense intended) half-ass guide just to say that I have? Hell, I've contributed enough that if all that I helped with was in a guide, it'd be as long as Fluxs' MF Guide. So just stop trying to say I suck and leave me be.
