pure Jabazon?

[Draksen]

Hi
I must admit that I have always be very attracted by spearazons, even more than by Javazons.
Fend and Jab seem to be the key...
but Fend is bugged for the D/A/E skills... they doesnt work.
Add to that: no shield :grrr:

so... I was just thinking. Is a pure Jabazon (max Jab) viable ?
Of course I understand that the killing will be a bit slower than with Fend, but the strikes more powerfull and also "safer" (D/A/E) ... ?

thx for help.

Im actually building one of these right now. Shes lvl 69 now and has 10k AR.

She uses gorerideres, highlords ammy and at 76 will equip her with vamp gloves (25% ow and life tap). Her armour is a 120/45 ias whale (94 life), shako (will be 40/15 ias when i get the jewel) and at 72 shell use a 08 SS (40/15 max). She also uses a vampirefang belt (I think its the vamp belt) cause it adds 10% ias and 10% slow target plus 15 strength.

I maxed penetrate for a huge boost on ar and maxed jab (obviously, since the build revolves around it).
Then I maxed Inner Sight so I hit basically EVERYTIME. A few points in Critical Strike for some added double damage % (I know, not alot but whatever).
Im in the process of maxing dodge now. And she doesnt use a valk yet because Im really making her for pvp melee use. She'll be using an eth titans when i get another one but right now shes using a non eth titans. It still gets the job done.

So far she can handle all the minions in NM baal runs by herself with 8 people in the game. Since she does double damage, crushing blow, and open wounds, plus soon shell have life tap and she can lower monsters defense by 1100+ (cant remember the exact #). Its even more in pvp too cause its more effective, lowering other characters by the thousands (depending on if they have thousands of def).

All in all, its a fun build if your a fan of melee. Its different :thumbsup:

how do you handle PI ?

My experience with meleezons of different types was that it works until Hell levels, and then things just start hitting too hard. It's hard to come up with a combination of gear/skills that gets you the life, damage reduction, AR, and speed you need to deal with (for example) Hell Difficulty Frenzytaurs. And anything Cursed is going to ruin your day (I won't even talk about Cursed + Extra Strong).

how do you handle PI ?
1 point in lighting bolt will do the trick. useful for pvp anyways.

i think for melee duels, a jabzon will do quite well.

sometiems for fun i try to melee with my bowazon using eth upgraded titans.
suprisingly i can kill alot of ppl with 6k ar and 1 point in jab.
my jab dmg was around 3.8k but i hit deadly or critical alot (highlords/goreriders/68%passive critical)

im thinking if you thrown in some angelics, a CoA, get some max/ar/life scs and use enchant, you can possibly go toe to toe with pallys and barbs
