Hello

Im lookig at this ama guide

http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=464188

And it sais you can easily kill baal in hell whit alot of mf gear. Well can i?

I found this guide in sigleplayer, i dont konw if there is any difference in diffculity in single and multiplayer (i paly multiplayer ladder)

So it the ama in the guide really that good? i cant see how she is supose to surivive baals minion and kill baal.

[tigercan]

Yep, using one myself right now actually.

Baal's minions are pretty easy - LF shreds them right after they spawn, and if they're LI then use FA.
Baal is easy anyway - CS makes short work of him

[Hellemyr]

Wow, sounds great, ill think i make one, just need to find a good name for her.

But how do you survive baals minions? Kill them before they kill you?

And do you have any suggestions on where to spend the stat points?

[Zon2000]

If anything is not lightning immune, it'll be dead fast from Lightning Fury. Really fast. As tigercan says, Baal's minions are indeed pretty easy.

Use bow. Freeze arrow + some cold charms to extend frozen duration. Switch to javelin. Lightning fury. Repeat and rinse.

And that's only if they're "tough". Otherwise skip the freeze arrow part and go straight to just LFing.

But what about stat point, the points in str and dex. Where to spend?

[crawlingdeadman]

spend as necessary for gear. i dont see a pvm javazon needing max block and if you're going to use found gear i dont see the point in puting in a ton of dex to help out with a 3rd physical skill (like strafe). if you're going to use a "good" bow with a lot of physical damage inherent on it (faith, wf, whatever) pumping dex may be beneficial, but if you're strictly mage-like you dont need any more dex than you normally would put on a caster.

[Hellemyr]

is attack rating gona be any problem whit this build, or does the arrows and javlins hit anyway because they are magical?

[crawlingdeadman]

ar isnt a problem.

I've been having an issue with my Zon with this build. Could it be I need to get my LR up to 75? I think this might be my issue. If this is the case how much do the LR resist grand charms usually go for? I'm on ESCL. I really need to start running this zon and not be afraid to die on the WSK. I'm actually thinking about using my tele ammy and just teleing to the throne till I gae some better LR gear.

[tigercan]

I assume gloams are frying you?

LR @ 75 would definitely help, but I suggest using your decoy to lure the gloams out where you can shatter them with a couple of well placed FA's.
Cast it against a wall where the lightning from the gloams isn't likely to pass through to hit you and when you see their attacks come in, fire off a few FA's in that general direction.
Works for me :)

[Zon2000]

I wouldn't recommend tele. The casting speed on zons are HORRID and you'll get stuck in a hit recovery anim if you happen to tele into a crowd of baddies. You'll be dead pretty fast.

As tigercan suggested, up your LR to 75 and use decoy.

[Malrek]

Yeah that's exactly what was happening. So decided to Pindle for a while and he dropped me an IK belt I'm using to get my LR up to 75. Time to try WSK again...
