I just rolled a Phoenix shield for my javazon and since Im not really to familiar with javas because I main sorc/pala I have no idea what i am doing.
Any kind soul out there that can explain if redemtion roll matters on the shield or not?
I got 10 aura and 399ed and im not sure if I should be happy or sad yet

Phoenix for a java is basically a regen shield as it does precious little for your overall damage output, due to the ED not helping your lightning dmg.
The ED will increase the physical component of your attacks, increasing your primary target dmg as well as your leech off that target which is obviously a "more = better" kind of thing.
The Redemption will of course regen more at higher levels but as a java, you tend to blow up so many mobs at the same time that it really doesn't matter much. A properly herded pack of cows will take you straight to full, regardless of the Redemption level.
lvl 10=71%, lvl 15=80%
put another way, if u kill a mob of 10 monsters;
lvl 10 will redeem 7 of those monsters,
lvl 15 will redeem 8 of them
so be happy
If your a javazon here’s some other shields to consider that will probably help more than Phoenix (most being way cheaper too):
Stormshield Spirit Monarch with 4 lightning facets
Rare Monarch that has good stats and 2 sockets for facets
Moser’s blessed circle with 2 facets
Head hunters glory with 3 facets
The ultra rare and expensive jmod
Even though you already have your Phoenix, it’s not a waste or even a bad shield, it rocks! It’s just probably better for fire and melee type characters
CO necro and Find Item barb in your party won't love that Phoenix
To solve the mana issue of javazon, Mana Per Kill is another solution.
You can get it from Caster Gloves or jewel.
2/20 Java 3 MPK and 15IAS/3MAEK are expensive.
I put a 3MAEK + fire resist jewel into Stormshield because I didn't need more IAS for me Javazon (just my personal playing style).
I found a Jah in trav this morning and rolled one too, rolls were just slightly above average. Now my Fireball sorc clears cows and Chaos Sanctuary supper fast and it’s a fun change from javazon and Nova sorc.
It’s also cool not to need to pot or have Insight on the merc.
I’m excited to try it out on the other chars it’s useful for in the future
