[the_leaf]

after readin jeks lit zon guide, i had the urge to make a lit javazon. BUT i already had a lvl 73 bowazon. so i thought, wut if i combined them??? i will use tha following:

Vampire Gaze
Lionheart (CoH if i can get)
Eth titan's/ WF
SS
Tgods/ razortail
Cat's eye ammy
raven frost and any other ring i can find
gore riders
laying of hands

Wut do u think?

Preety much looks like my Hybrid, with a few exceptions. I went this route:

Valk Helm (FHR, FRW, +2 Skills)
Naj Plate (+skills, Resists, good def)
Highlord's

Other than that, pretty much the same gear setup. CoH is the armor i'm gunning for, and I think this setup will be complete.

also, my skills would b as follows:
20 CS
20 LF
1 FA
15 Valk
5 D/E
1 A, Perice, crit, penatrate, and all pre-req
does this look like an ideal setup?

You'll have a few points left over...consider Maxing either FA or Strafe. Since you're using WF on the switch, you're going to be a little limited vs PI/LI's...which isn't the worst thing. FA will solve that problem...but if you prefer Strafe, then either switch out WF for WWS, or Cat's Eye for Atma's. Either will remove PI.

i wus thinkin of maxin FA after i get all the other skills to wher i want dem.

Since it looks like you're making a LF/FA hybrid, heres what mine looks like.

20 FA
15 CA
20 LF
20 CS
10 Valk
1 Pierce (Need lotta +skills and a Razor hehe)

If you do make a LF/FA hyrbid, get rid of Cats Eye, LoH, Gores, WF. You want tons of +skills stuff because LF and FA are both skill level dependent. Swap that WF out for a Lycanders.

Anyways, heres my ideal gear setup:

Helm: Can pick from a variety of choices here: Nightwings, Amazing +2 Zon circlet, Shako, CoA, Griffons. Nightwings looks very nice though :)

Chest: Definately CoH. I use Naj's Plate atm, like it a lot better than Vipers.

Weap1: Eth Titans
Weap2: Upgraded 200% 8 ML Lycanders socketed with Cold Facet :)
Shield: SS socketed with Light Facet

Belt: Razortail, have Tgods around Gloams or against Diablo.

Ring1: Ravenfrost
Ring2: Rare ring with at least manaleech, good resists

Boots: I'd use War Travs for sake of MF but any rare boots with resists will do. I have Goblin Toe in my cube vs. bosses.

Gloves: Rare/crafted +2 skill-of-your-choice gloves.

^^^^^?????

now why exactly would you want to get rid of Loh, cat eye, wf ....that is possibly the worst advice ive read,

loh increases leech drastically from the demon class and adds ias, both of which are very important to LF and FA, FA is a mana guzzler and has small freeze duration in hell difficulty....solution leech more and fire faster. LF has the ability to leech plenty if the javs are decent. not to mention loh are extremely available, while fancy rares can be tedious to come by..

wf? o just take the best bow in the game out of your set up and you'll be better off???? wf and freeze arrow work well together as wf is one of the few bows capable of leeching back the mana requirement. additionally it add adds alot of AR making the wf phy damage actually connect, wf at 90 ias can freeze enemies indefinatlety in hell lvl, possible at lower ias if u have cold charms or ice arrow syn. cold immune will be knocked backed if u hit them (another bonus of AR) I would use buriza over lycanders....

cat eye is possibly the best bow/zon amulet in the game (i like highlord better), +2 skill bah, maybe okay idea with LF, but with bow shooting faster is far more valuable...additionally charged strike become much more effecive at 55 ias with mat javs

I also dont uderstand using a light facet in a pvm shield, i would um, shael or pdiamond over light facet. you will have enough damage on the lightning side for any non light-immune, and the -5 to enemy resist will probably not be enough to break the immunity on its own. carry tstrokes in your cube for bosses, more then enough power to kill bosses if charged striked and lf are maxed. all of the above is for pvm.
