Hey all. I have a pure-Cowing javazon for all difficulties and I need some help with glove choices. I know laying of Hands is stupid for a LF zon and i just found a few nice pairs of gloves.

Hailstone Finger
Bramble Mitts
Defense: 98
56% Enhanced Defense
+2 to Javelin and Spear Skills (Amazon Only)
+20% Increased Attack Speed
Cold Resist +27%
Level 1 Poison Nova (4/22 Charges)
Repairs 1 Durability in 33 Seconds

or...

Gale Claw
Heavy Gloves
Defense: 8
+2 Javelin and Spear Skills (Amazon Only)
+3% Life Stolen Per Hit
+3% Mana Stolen Per Hit
19% Enhanced Defense
Lightning Resist +26%
Poison Length Reduced by 25%

What do you guys think?

In addition, I'd like help with choosing boots:

Glyph Stalker
Greaves
Defense: 20
10% Chance to Cast Level 3 Charged Bolt When Struck
31% Enhanced Defense
Lightning Resist +34%
Poison Resist +35%
Half Freeze Duration
Repairs 1 Durability in 33 Seconds

or silkweave?

My biggest issues right now are mana, mana and mana. Just letting you know. By the way, if it helps you inform better... here is my gear as of now:

Ber'd Shako
156% Titans/Pdiamond SS
Demon Arch w/ soon-to-be Sanctuary on the switch
Highlords
CoH
Perf Raven Frost
Manald Heal (told u mana issues right? well this 7% baby actually fills my mana when i throw a javvie at a hell cow pack, until i can't pierce so much anymore)
Razortail (with all this I have 114% chance to pierce :D)

thanks for all help... greatly appreciated.

Cheers, TheSpelunker

probably easier to use straight +3jav/20ias gloves if you can find or trade them, you don't really need anything else for cow runs. for boots use whichever ones have the fastest run on them. my java uses aldurs.

Definitely use rare 2/20ias glove, or 3/20 which you can buy in shop with some patience. Layings aren't good because most of javazons dmg comes from lightning and %dmg to demon doesn't affect ele dmg, only physi - although they arn't terribly bad if you can't find other, still nice mods.

I think for boots there's nothing like having a pair of WT's for +dmg, mf, str... as said aldurs also a good choice.

If you have manaleech problems get a high %ed titans and upgrade it to improve the dmg and leech with that. Optimally ofc you'd want ethereal upgraded one.

For the gloves, I would definitely use the first pair. It has 20 IAS, which the other one lacks.

problem with eth ones is if you run low you can't tp to charsi and pay 1 gold for them to be fully repaired so you might need 2 stacks of javs to be able to do a cow level.

If you are playing ladder, simply use insight.
