And believe it or not I just started my first Ladder character. Enjoying the fresh start. I don’t blame you for showing all the gear you have, you earned it. Thank you for what you do.
This was my main char from season 3 and overall the best i have overall. Mine is basically setup the same with some small tweaks here and there for general gameplay. Name, more rez, more ias slightly less damage but that doesn't matter for the most part. Everything will vaporize. Havent punched it into maxroll recently but charged strike can deal over 300K per sec!!! -Merc-act 1 w faith, coh and cure. -Char- I think you nailed it that with griffons you need COH unless you have perfect small charms. Ill use this for uber tristam only. -For general pvm, i go enigma and kiras. Massive all res and frees you up from ravenfrost. Could facet kiras but i keep a ptopaz in for more mf. and I dont think the added damage is really necessary. -Since more ias is needed, highlords is my ammy. -on swap i have cta and phoenix shield. both are wildly unnecessary, i could easily just use pots and you'll slay everything so fast the added life and mana doesnt make or break the build. And if going COH and griffons, naj's puzzler would be a find choice here. For value, dont sleep on thunderstrokes. Used T-strokes with a dual plague merc until i got infinity and while slower you'll still rip through the game.
Love this one. Lot's of fun. Even if you're on a budget and struggling with resistances you can slap on a Spirit shield or P Diamond Moser's and just poke enemies with a Thunderstroke or Titan's revenge.
I have one with Infinity Marc Spear as well and yes just like you mentioned...she demolished everything within her sight without traces lol. Btw Highlord's in amulet slot will boost her aspd further as well as light resist. I also love Enigma on her for the FRW and MF but yeah, CoH needed for her crappy resistances.
btw if you really want to go nuts with this you can build a jav amazon on swap with a phoenix shiled and a standart infinity merc and on the other hand you wield an infinity and that way you have two infinity and a hybrid javazon/infinity spearazon ...little expensive but I've build mine like that over many months and it just wrecks in any situation. For the low low price of vex+vex+lo+jah+ber+ber+ber+ber+mal+mal+ist+ist+ist+um :D
@@GGMentor I think you missunderstood, I meant you still have infinity and your merc has infinity so you are not taking anything away you are adding ;> You have two builds in one that way - spearazon in one hand and javazon on swap and you are not loosing anything.
Thunderstroke has -Lightning Res Ormus' Robes has +Lightning damage Stoneraven has +3 skills and a ton of all res Arioc's can have +4 skills and a pretty fast attack speed 3/3 lightning facets are basically given away and can be thrown in something like a Headhunter's Glory if you're using TStrokes Smoke or Stone have very high all res Peace can summon a level 14 Valkyrie so you have an additional tank and Valks can basically solo the game 2/20 gloves with res aren't super expensive USUALLY as they're pretty common TGods is dirt cheap and easy to find +Amazon skills with res amulets are cheap decent rings are also dirt cheap as long as you're not looking for a 6 pointer The most expensive thing on that list is the Um rune required for Stone which can easily be farmed in Hell Countess. This entire kit can be gathered for like 20-25 fg. Like I'm not saying your build is wrong. It's SUPER powerful ans SUPER fun, I agree. But telling players that they NEED to have expensive shit sort of gatekeeps them from enjoying an already powerful build that can clear almost all content in the game. Infinity just allows you to clear ALL of it because it's, frankly, broken and overpowered.
p8 solo self found here...leveling a spearazon...some notes: a) I really don't like having zero block chance so I've been pointing @4 points into each of the passives b) I'm not looking forward to the difficulty bump to p8 nightmare...going to prioritize elemental resistance later in normal to prep c) wow does charged strike remove face...I've been stacking +mana after kill to power this skill
I have a similar Lightning Spear Amazon. Everything dies so fast. At this point it's ridiculously easy and boring to play because nothings challenging but DARN fun farming with her to get gear for alts.
I want you to imagine something, a 67 year old who’s never seen a Shako in over 20 years. Tell me how to her to the end of Hell with a Spearazon. All I’m Saying is that I don’t have or never will have the gear you have. You’re awesome by the way 👍🇨🇦
Hey can I make the infinity in a mancatcher and have success with the build, or would the plus skills on a mat spear make a big enough difference to hold off on making it.
ive tried this but ended up giving infinity to the merc and staying javazon (thankfully used mancatcher ) Javazon with engima and swap to wiz spike for teleporting is the fastest 1-99 char ive ever made, u will want level 42 + fury for players 8, similar gear to yours tho
Aaaaaaaah! You forgot Thunderstroke in the budget section. Could you add a text overlay note in the video? Tstrokes have -light rez and are sooo much easier to get than facets/griffons.
So the entire idea behind this build, to use Infinity as a self use item. So the reason I didn't give any budget options for weapons because the character was designed around that item.
I have to say I love all of ur analytical post and theory craft vods with some of the things u put together even though I don't play like u at all. It's a great look into percentages and a different side of the coin to look at. What I mean by I don't play like u is that when I make my builds. They are builds that are built around MF gear meaning builds that are the perfect combination of resist, life, and enough damage to still be able to kill and survive while having a decent amount of Mf like 300 or so. The reason I do that is b/c generally ur char is already at a decent lvl to where ur not really killing to lvl anymore and just going around killing Monsters with all the best gear on without Mf'ing in mind to me is pointless. If u already have all the best gear and dont need to really lvl then ur basically just playing the char just to play it and have no real other purpose. I need a reason to get out there and kill shit. Am I lvling or am I Mf'ing. Also it is always a challenge to find that sweet spot between survivability and MF gear. Too much MF and u probably wont survive very long or be able to kill nearly as fast and too little of MF u may as well have your best Gear on instead for quicker kills. Anyhow love what u do. love the new segment u put in with these fav builds. Keep up the great work and keep smiling!
First 200% is more than enough Magic Find, anything past that gets hit by massive diminishing returns. Second all of the characters I build can be outfitted with MF gear, Gheeds, MF Small Charms, mf amulets, MF Gloves/ Boots with minimal impact on the characters overall output. Just The Addition of Gheeds and a few 7% small Charms is already over 50% with zero gear change. Things like Skulders ire, War Travs, Chancies(or well rolled rares/crafted) easily take you over 100+ MF Gear Represents a weakening of the character, how much do I want to weaken my character for X Result. What is my target farming spot, what player count am I shooting for ect. Characters are generally balanced around what they are farming and kill speed. Basically what I am getting at is this, it's unrealistic to build a character around a specific MF Percentage. What you want to do is Target a Specific kill Speed. If your kill speed drops too much adding in an extra 100% MF than you gotta dial it back. If your kill speed is unaffected you can instead dial it up, add more MF until the kill speed is affected. On top of this Zero MF Characters are not useless creatures. #1 Runes don't care about MF and Clear speed is more important when rune farming. #2 MF actively hurts base farming and bases can be extremely valuable. Like a 45 all res eth sacred Targe, or a 4 socket eth mancatcher with 15% ed. #3 charms are unaffected by MF as well. And clear speed increases charm farming. #4 Experience is all about clear speed, so if you are trying to hit 99 as fast as possible Magic find isn't a priority damage is. #5 Uber Tristram and Uber Diablo are about reliably clearing a difficult zone and magic find has no effect there as neither The Ubers, nor Uber Diablo are affected by MF. #6 stacking Magic find to the moon and back has little overall increases in drop chance past 200% even MF as low as 100% has a huge impact on drops. But anything over 200 is affected by severe diminishing returns. Which means any build can easily work in a bare minimum of Magic find and still MF effectively.
@@GGMentor Well I already knew all of that and knew that MF had diminishing returns. which is why I always laugh when people post videos with 700-800 mf. Granted I didnt know that it started at 200% but I always kept it on the lower end for that reason anyhow and for clearing purposes. That has been around sense before the Expansion years ago. The other thing I'll say is that I have never once cared about hitting 99 in the "100 years" I've played the game. If I gained a lvl in the 90's during my farm time then great but I never seen that as a goal. Also I should note I have never been a fan of the runewords sense they first released them. they came out with the Bullshit excuse years ago that the 1.08 items like the 1.08 shako and Arcane valor of grand father among other items was too over powered then released a runeword system in which made all those QUOTE on QUOTE Op'ed items look like toys. No class IMO should have ever been able to do other class abilities. It is what made them unique to begin with. Anyhow I just wanted to give u an idea of where my head was at. I enjoy watching ur vods b/c I DON'T put together builds like u do and so it is nyce to see how all that crazy shit can work together and destroy a map. I've always thought runewords are ridiculous which only means I try to build around not using the end game godly ones. I dont mind limiting myself in certain ways. Everything I'am saying doesnt mean I don't enjoy ur content. I hope u don't think that. Keep em coming my man
Sounds like a person who has no clue how to work MF Into a build. It doesn't take a genius to swap a piece here swap a piece there, include a gheeds, a couple of charms and pretty much all the builds can hit 200% MF fine which is more than enough.

Yeah you just lose SO MUCH damage by dropping Infinity from your own hands.
@@GGMentor I think you missunderstood, I meant you still have infinity and your merc has infinity so you are not taking anything away you are adding ;>
You have two builds in one that way - spearazon in one hand and javazon on swap and you are not loosing anything.
Thunderstroke has -Lightning Res
Ormus' Robes has +Lightning damage
Stoneraven has +3 skills and a ton of all res
Arioc's can have +4 skills and a pretty fast attack speed
3/3 lightning facets are basically given away and can be thrown in something like a Headhunter's Glory if you're using TStrokes
Smoke or Stone have very high all res
Peace can summon a level 14 Valkyrie so you have an additional tank and Valks can basically solo the game
2/20 gloves with res aren't super expensive USUALLY as they're pretty common
TGods is dirt cheap and easy to find
+Amazon skills with res amulets are cheap
decent rings are also dirt cheap as long as you're not looking for a 6 pointer
The most expensive thing on that list is the Um rune required for Stone which can easily be farmed in Hell Countess. This entire kit can be gathered for like 20-25 fg.

No Spells to cast unless you put on an enigma, so no FCR. Attack Speed Helps you attack faster and which means more lightning effects.
