Description

Hello!
Looking for some advice from some wise sage like players here.

So far ladder season two I've been having fun with my first ever
Lightning Fury
/
Charged Strike
amazon.
I wanted to see if it was possible to turn my Amazon in to a very tough uber killing machine.

Has anyone ironed out a decent "cheap or budget" build / gear set up that allows amazon to easily survive and murder Ubers?

The only uber that's a concern is
Über Mephisto
. Dealing with him requires a near-complete gear swap. For me, he took 45 seconds to take down and I made some major mistakes that slowed down my time, like forgetting to swap out my merc's Infinity for Pride, forgetting to use the
Life Tap
wand, not noticing that I was attacking with
Charged Strike
for a good 15 seconds before switching to
Jab
, and having my back face a few skeleton mages instead of using a
Tristram
building wall to block their line of sight.

The key differences from the typical lightning javazon gearset are:

Pre-proc
Fade
from Treachery
Ethereal Upgraded
Titan's Revenge
(this is actually my main weapon, but maybe not everyone else's)
Guillaume's Face
+
Um

Stormshield
+ Jewel of Fervor
Gore Rider

Thundergod's Vigor

Laying of Hands

Wand
of
Life Tap

Every resistance charm you can throw in your inventory

In theory, I can take down
Über Mephisto
in under 15 seconds, but I haven't done another uber run since that last one a month and a half ago.

You fight the other two ubers with your standard gear as they're not really all that different from their normal forms other than being tankier.

To add to Snakecharmed's valuable tips:

If you go with
Jab
*, you could use a Duress armor (after pre-procing
Fade
as suggested) e.g. in an
Archon Plate
. In addition, you can use the Lvl 23
Enchant
from
Demon Limb
to significantly boost your AR before the fight.
Also, since you have 33% Open Wounds from Duress, you might wanna go for
Goblin Toe
for more CB than
Gore Rider
but I haven't tried it yet with the latter so not sure what's best.
Dracul's Grasp
might also be an alternative pair of gloves (and I'd say a must-have if you don't use a
Life Tap
Wand
).


* which I guess is the only real budget option as otherwise you'd need quite some - % lightning res which is not too cheap to come by after breaking Meph's immunity with I suppose a Sunder Charm or Plague lower res proc from your merc. I could be totally wrong though.

You can use the charges on marrowalk
Boots
for lifetap and the boneprison to help isolate the ubers from their minions. They are super cheap.

I don't know how I completely overlooked that this is on ladder. I was still operating under the principle of a non-Paladin unbreakable lightning immunity.

That being said, a
Jab
-based, physical damage approach is still the cheapest option in terms of gear against
Über Mephisto
and you don't need a skill/stat respec for it to be effective. Although now, I'm sure a sunder charm with regular javazon gear and
Charged Strike
will be fine offensively as long as you have
Thunderstroke
and
Griffon's Eye
. The
Life Tap
returns might be underwhelming though and you'd be down an extra 75+% lightning resists.

I like the
Demon Limb
mention as well for additional AR. I always kept one for DClone and ubers in LoD, still keep one in my shared stash today, and forgot to mention it here because I use so many things for pre-buffing or utility on weapon switch that I have to carry additional weapon switch weapons in the cube and don't always remember all of them anymore.

I never tried it with an Amazon but I think the advice for Ubers is the same regardless of which class you use, or at least the same for all melee builds. You need: AR, Crushing Blow,
Life Tap
, stacked resists (especially for
Mephisto
).

For that reason, there are various pieces of gear that are almost always good to use:
Demon Limb
for
Enchant
, Treachery for the
Fade
proc,
Dracul's Grasp
for the
Life Tap
(or a
Wand
on swap, if you prefer),
Goblin Toe
or
Gore Rider
Boots
for the CB,
Guillaume's Face
for the CB, Duress for the CB and resists. You don't need all of those things but they certainly help and there's nothing expensive in there.
