If you can afford it, you can afford the build, and it beats both alternatives.

it is not expensive now.
Just get -5/4 x 4. I believe you can get it around 4

Ist or less and you wont need jmod. just 4 socket

Monarch

the reflect is only add block which you wont get hit as javzon

If you can invest a small fortune into your java, go for it. You'll be the queen of /p8.

But you will need a bunch of expensive stuff to compensate the lack of useful stats, which most people (including me) aren't able (or willing) to acquire.

On my Fury Javazon, I have

Eth titan's, Phoenix,

Griffon's Eye,

Razortail, and COH. On my merc Infinity,

Eth Hauberk forti, and Vamp gaze, but other than Infinity he doesn't need much because my Jav clears the room faster than he can die so he rarely bites it, or to the point, she's just using him.

I accidentally sold my titans... what would go with the

Conviction... balrog or

Thunderstroke?

(presuming that "balrog" =

Demon's Arch)

Tstrokes are better than

Demon's Arch, but honestly replacement Titan's are very cheap to trade for.

Let me share a recent experience.

Have been doing doing

Herald hunting with my strafezon today. T4 pack of archers spawned in the tower. Merc, Faith rogue, was positioned unluckily and died in less than a second. The red

Valkyrie was visibly bored and facetanked them while the zon strafed them, and in less than five seconds the pack was dead.

Lightning Fury zon would have likely been screwed. Emilio dies in a second, with or without Infinity. Then the zon. maybe if you are very good you can cast

Slow Missiles,

Evade the

Arrows, strike down the pack with

Lightning Fury, and finally kill the

Herald with

Charged Strike. But in general

Lightning Fury zon now loses to any build having a decent

Valkyrie, including the

Lightning Strike, in my opinion

Lightning Fury zon can have a strong valk, too. The synergies only provide 1% damage, you don't have to max them all out if you don't want to.

Fury zon is one of the top 3

Herald hunters in my collection. The others are Blizz Sorc and Poison/

Bone Wall Necro.

I have 1 point in Vally +13 soft points. This is the lowest

Valkyrie I have. I just recast her if needed, but she can take a beating.

If a

Herald is announced, I place a

Decoy between the spawn point and me, cast a Bo and step out of line of fire.

And then there's two options:

-cast

Slow Missiles if there's rangers coming
-or start throwing spears right away.

Win rate: 99%.

It is more or less the same with a Strafezon, Magezon or whatever zon.

The main difference is: Java is one of the best ranged builds and one of the best melee builds in this game.

It makes that build the best in game.

well no idea how you guys make a low lvl valk work. in my experience even lvl 40 is very squishy against tough

Herald packs.
and managing all those support spells sounds really challenging considering you need to have two attack spells on the mouse..

so to each their own, and for me left click

Strafe right click

Slow Missiles, and stay behind immortal valk
