it will depends on how you play, 1p or 8p
other equipment.
Also it depends on if you get hit or not get hit. if not get hit, 4os Monarch will similar to your post.
If you can 1 hit kill, you might need adjust facet, not 4 +1 +3 facet is best combination.
The shield part is actually, need more defense status. all resist or d absorb
get hit by melee, middle range scenario, forest Nova is better than DR, life, and others.
life usually middle-high choose of all affix.
In 1p , best shield is the one with enough facet to one shot kill and the extra status into defense /utility status. It will be very hard to craft/find.
Please be aware, all my trade is in non ladder d2r. Not warlock.
Socketing 4x +15ias/+3 mana after kill in jmod is also an option. Damage is still OP without Rainbow Facets
Post ur offer before adding me. No PM. Only add me if u offer bin/lf. No reply after 3 days=offer rejected
No socketing service. If u get item otherwise, retract ur pending offer. Edit ur post or post "retracted" to do so.
I equip 2 soj and have some +mana.
After bo, it will have around 700 mana.
Almost all monster is 1 shot kill in 1p. Not really need Mana Potion even if there is no nix shield.
Also in 1p scenario, Thunderstroke is also an option.

Do like Phoenix, but rather have some better stats on the shield, feels like I’m wasting a big part of the equipment purely for mana.
Javazon's struggle with leeching. Leeching only works with the physical damage portion of attacks, and most of a javazon's attack damage is lightning. Phoenix is definitely an amazing QoL shield. But it you want to go raw damage, try using Silkweave and 2x SoJ. They grant +10% mana and +5 Mana after eachkill. Javazons benefit more from plus to skills and the SoJ give skills plus a massive increase in mana.
Stormshield is great for survivability, not for increased damage. If you aren't struggling to stay alive, I recommend against SS.
But what exactly are you trying to fix? Is there a specific problem or are you trying to maximize/make more efficient your build?
