Which one?

[Nostromo]

I wanna try to make a lld jabbazon, Clvl9-12.
I have seen two builds, one puts only 1 pt into Jab and maxes out Inner Sight (for Char level). The strat is to drop the defenses of the opponent to make hitting more likely and therefore more deadly.

I also have seen a build that maxes Jab and only 1 pt into Inner Sight. Going for more raw damage.

*Both builds use about Slvl 4 dodge.

Any suggestions which one is the better route? Also should I bother going to 12? I plan on Pk'ing more than dueling. Thanks in advance for any advice.

If you're building a jabazon, you will have many points to spare. My jabazon looks like something like this. I don't like IS so much since zons are slow casters.

Jab - 20
Penetrate - 20
CS - 12

Be aware of the D/A/E bug. Once it activates in the middle of something (in this case while jabbing), you will miss all subsequent attacks.

Well I am only going to Clvl 9 or 12, so I won't be that high. So every point will count.

you can go either way. i believe for a starter zon (gear wise) it's been said that it's better to do max inner. on an great, well built one it doesnt matter because your ar is coming from gear, but so is your damage. i'd go with 1 point jab to avoid the mana shortages you may come across.

did you read zang's guide in the pvp sticky?

in my post i was pretty much parroting what i'd read. from above linked guide:
Skills:
9 Jab
6 Crit
4 Dodge
1 Inner sight

Many people prefer putting 1 point into Jab and 9 into Inner Sight. This is a good choice for newer vllds who cannot afford top of the line equipment, because a level 1 jab will cost much less mana, and the high level Inner Sight will make up for low AR. However, if you can afford a full inventory of 15life/10-12 AR large charms, and you have a fair amount of intrinsic +mana or dtm on gear, neither AR nor mana will be a problem for you.
