A Javazon build to start the season off right, with physical, poison and lightning damage on Patch 2.4 Diablo 2 Resurrected!

What is hybrid poison lightning physics javazone?

The hybrid javazone uses poison skill-based javelin attacks, combined with melee lightning damage. You will also have good physical damage (life and mana stolen) in melee and a little at a distance.

Why start with the Hybrid Javazone

Here are the highlights of our build:

• Great for lvling
• very flexible, whether for bosses (melee) or enemy pack (ranged)
• perfectly manages the immune system
• the flail javelin was significantly increased in Patch 2.4 and is now as powerful as it is fun to play.
• it is therefore an interesting and viable version of the Lightning version of the Javazone.

This build still has some weaknesses:

• Need to repair your javelins (but less than a pure lightning version)
• Less speed than clear than a pure lightning version
• Quite a mana seeker (see attributes and mercenary)

Statistics

Here are the character stats:

Additional attributes:

• If you plan to use a spirit shield, you will need to have 156 strength for the base Monarch item.
• Your Titan javelins require a minimum Dexterity of 109, but you can push up to 151 to ensure you have a wide range of javelin and spear options before you get them, you can take 10 off Dexterity if your weapons are ethereal
• At least 200 Vitality, more if you're playing Hardcore, basically put any remaining points here.
• You're going to have to invest at least 30-40 points in energy at first, at least until you can get more items to get mana directly from enemies. Getting the spirituality runeword at level 27 on a polearm for your Act II mercenary does wonders for your mana issues.

skills

Here are your two main skills

1. Lightning Strike, immune and single target
2. Javelin of the flail, main spell

Passive and magic skills

• Critical Hit - 1
• Penetrate - 20
• Pierce - 9 to reach 69%
• The three dodges - 1 point
• Illuminate, Slow Missiles and Valkyerie - 1 point as needed

Javelins and spears

• Poisoned Javelins - 20, synergy
• Ball Lightning - 5 then 20, your alternate spell
• Scourge Javelin - 20, your primary spell
• Lightning Blow - the rest of your points, synergy

Complement on skills:

• Critical Strike gives a chance for the Javazone strike to deal double damage. Since it only applies to physical damage, not elemental damage, it's less useful with this build.
• You will have a 100% chance of piercing with the Razor's Edge belt.
• Max out Poison Javelin, as long as you don't have access to Blight Javelin

Key points of equipment

Amazon javelins are impacted by attack speed and not rapid spell casting speed. Only Inner Vision, Decoy, and Valkyrie are.

Key skills to look for:

Leveling equipment

Here are the items to collect:

• Helmet : Know Ort Sol for +1 to skills
• Bouclier : Rime Shael eth for resistances then Spirit Tal Thul Ort Amn for skills and resistances
• Armor : Peace Shael Thul Amn for +2 to Amazon skills and an additional +2 to critical hit
• Poor : Magic Javelins with +3 to Javelins and Spear skills or Rare Javelins with +2 to Amazon skills with good sub-stats
• Gloves : Trang'Oul, for 25% Poison skill damage, or rare gloves with +2 to javelins then attack speed
• Boots : rare boots with resistances and movement speed
• Anneau : rare rings with statistics then as soon as possible a Frozen Raven
• Amulet : rare or magic with amazon or javelin skills
• Belt : Razor's edge for the 33% chance of piercing

Final equipment

Here are the items to collect:

• Helmet : Shako, for skills, MF and attributes. The Crown of Ages for a more defensive version.
• Bouclier : Stormshield, its resistances and block, or keep Spirit. The best in terms of damage remains a 4-hole shield 5 x poison jewels 5/5.
• Armor : Ral Ohm Barbed Wire runeword On Eth, for poison damage, aim for the closest to 50%.
• Poor : Titans stay on top unless you come across 6 skill and 40 attack speed javelins. To kill the bosses, pass on the spear runic word Silence Dol Eld Hel Ist Shot Vex or possibly Honor Amn El Ith Tir Solest which is cheaper
• Gloves : Trang Oul, rare +2 javelin attack speed or Drakuls for resistance
• Boots : Chemin des Sables for their resistances or Crowd War for MF, statistics etc.
• Amulet : Mara's Kaleidoscope for resistances and skills or Lord's Wrath for attack speed
• Rings : two Bul-kathos, skill and life
• Belt : Arach for skills or keep Razor's Edge

Mercenary for leveling

This mercenary is useful in leveling, take defiance to increase your resistance, the aura of power does not influence the damage of lightning or poison.

• Poor : The spirituality runic word Ral Tir Tal Sol, in a polearm, offers an aura of meditation, restoring mana to the Javazone. Infinity Ber Mal Ber Ist only if you want to convert to lightning
• Helmet : Vampiric Eye, Mask of Tal Rash or Crown of Thieves then Face of Andarielle, essential for stealing life
• Armor: treachery Shael Thul Lem then Fortitude El Sol Dol Lo

mercenary endgame

Once enough equipment, I recommend the mercenary of act 5 with Frenzy

• Poor : two Plagues Cham Shael Um, according to the mechanics of D2R, the percentages are supposed to stack
• Helmet : Vampiric Eye, Mask of Tal Rash or Crown of Thieves then Face of Arreat, essential for stealing life
• Armor: treachery Shael Thul Lem then Fortitude El Sol Dol Lo

You will thus have a 40% chance of casting lesser resistance when your mercenary is hit, lowering resistance to poison but also to lightning!
