Help With Light Zon

[Redman681]

I plan on making a lightning amazon, but I really don't know how to go about doing it. I read the guide, but it wasn't straight foreward at all, which is what I'm looking for. So can someone just give me a list of the skills I should max? Also, should I try to get to 75% block or not? Thanks for your help.

Well, I just started a new lightning gal. So here's what I did.

level: 1 CS
level: 2 jab
level until Charged Strike, and getting pre-reqs for LF and Pierce too. And getting 1 level into Dodge, Evade and Avoid.
level: 18 start maxing Charged strike until level 30
level: 30 start maxing LF, put a single point in Pierce, keep boosting Charged Strike.
--it should allow you to keep working on Charged Strike and LF at the same time until CS is maxed, and at that point you should just work on LF only.
With max CS and LF I entered nightmare.

After having these two skills maxed, I'm going to get a level 1 Valk, level 1 Strafe, and then start working on LS or LB (PvM or PvP), the two last levels before going into Hell I'll spend on getting a level 1 Frozen Arrow for added survival.

--Hope this mini history helped a little.

Thanks for the info. Would it be possible to max both LS and LB or is only 1 possible if I follow that guide?

You can max both LS and LB with CS and LF but that will leave you with no more points left for other things such as anti-LIs or valk. If you're with a party then no problem but going solo will be tough in Hell where almost everyone is at least immune to something.

Hey. I decided to just put 1 into all the important passives (not the valk tree, the 2 right trees). That way, i am able to max all 5 LF synergies by lvl 98. lol.

ok this is how i did my build.

first put a point into jab. then just get all the pre requistes for lf(lite fury) and ls(lite strike) and pierce. also put a point into avoid, evade, dodge. u may use them occasionally but i made it from act1-act5 with full sigs and a good jav i found only using jab. wen ur lvl 30 get a point into lf and ls.

now i think its best to get a vipermagi, peasant crown, eye of etlich and 2 manhalds. keep sigs shield or switch to ancients pledge in a decent shield. also keep sigs gloves (30 ias 10 ll) belt (20 life 20 fr) boots(frw and cr). keep at least the gloves and belt on. just do baal runs from 25-45. u only need to put ur points into lf, ls, and pierce (until its lvl 10)

wen ur lvl 45 its time to change ur gear. get a vamp gaze, string of ears, titans, goreriders, and put on 1 ravenfrost(or 2 if u dont need the ml). now u can ditch sigs gloves and get a pair of lava gouts. have a friend rush u to nm baal runs. just do these until ur 73-75. continue to pump lf and ls. wen both of these r maxed start maxing cs(charged strike). wen cs is maxed work on another synergy for lf.

thru out nm runs keep replacing ur gear with something better. at 47 put on a thundergods vigor. at 62 get a shako. at 65 get highlords. at 69 upgrade ur titans to matriachial javs. armr can b debatable i use vipermagi until i got to 85 to use akraines valor. or u can make urself chains of honor and use that at lvl 63. at 73 put on ss.

end game gear:
upped eth titans
girffons eye
coh
ss
goreriders
crafted gloves with ll +2 jav skills etc
t-gods
highlords
ravenfrost
dual leech ring

now if ur not really rich like i was wen i made my first 2 javazons.

the strategy is prettty much the same. items to use r

helm: valkyrie wing, tals helm, vamp gaze
armr: vipermagi, duriels shell, gris armr(socket with a thul, ral, ort runes)
shield: stormshield is really ur only option the 35% dr is really unbetable
gloves: anything u can find with ias
boots: gore riders r cheap and really help if mana is a problem get silkweaves
rings:manhald or cathans for the ml/ll
ammy:try to get a crescent moon if mana is a problem or cats eye
wep:titans r the only choice
belt: t-gods is again the real only choice

and thats really it. the javazon is a real fun char. i hope this cleared up the build and im sorry if this "guide" is messy. i dont have much time and this is all i can really think of. if u have any questions just ask away. well gl and hf playin.

Can you make it through the game with only store-bought gear? How would this build deal with LIs if untwinked?

Bow/Jab + Valk + Merc.
