Viz's Charged Strike Javazon
Character Description
This character utilizes an all too unused skill called Charged Strike. Charged Strike emits charged bolts exceeding great amounts of lightning damage upon striking. Though it is close ranged melee, it still proves quite effective. It doesn't kill as fast as Lightning Fury does, but it will be doing much more damage once the character is fully built and equipped.
Charged Strike has 4 synergies. These synergies consist of: Power Strike, Lightning Bolt, Lightning Strike, and Lightning Fury. Since maxing all 4 synergies plus the main skill will take up about all of your skill points, we will not be maxing all 4 synergies. I will go more in detail with this and the reasons why later on in the Skill Allocation section of this guide.
Skill Point Allocation
Main Skills:
Max: Charged Strike
Charged Strike will be your main skill along with Lightning Fury. Both Charged Strike and Lightning Fury share the same synergies, so this allows you to utilize both skills. Charged Strike does a great amount of damage per charged bolt released, and it releases 7 at once aloing with your initial jav damage.
Max: Lightning Fury
Lightning Fury is an awesome skill for speed killing large groups. While Charged Strike is a group killer at times Lightning Fury proves much more effective. The amount of damage done is significantly less than that done by Charged Strike, but it makes up for it with the multiple hits, etc.
Synergy Skills:
10 Points: Lightning Bolt
10 Points: Power Strike
10 Points: Lightning Strike
Passive Skills:
8 Points: Dodge
8 Points: Avoid
8 Points: Evade
- All three of these skills are a must. Putting 8 points in them allows for a good amount of dodging, avoiding, and evading attacks..while gear +skills will increase them.
1 Point: Pre-Reqs
Stat Point Allocation
Strength: Enough for Stormshield minus +str from gear. 156 strength is Stormshields requirement, but if you can get good enough +str from your gear you should be fine with about 100 or so. (Will update)
Dexterity: 150. I say 150 because it takes a lot of dex to get perfect block at high levels, even with Stormshield. This also will add in damage to your attacks and increase your attack rating. 150. Not too high, but not too low.
Vitality: Rest of your points. You can add in a few here and there while leveling, but I encourage you to get your strength and dexterity done with before finishing out your points here. Once strength and dexterity are done, all remaining points go here.
Energy: Base. Nuff' said.

Gear Selection
Weapon:
Ethereal Titan's Revenge
Titans is probably the best all around weapon for this build, unless you're fortunate enough to get a nice rare high damage jav. Upgrade titans' to matriarchal javelin. They have lots of more phys dmg when upgraded.
Body Armor:
Chains Of Honor
+Skills, Leech, Damage Reduce, +20 Strength, and Resists. Can't beat it.
Shield:
Stormshield
Heh, nuff' said.
Gloves:
Rare gloves with 3 ml, +2 java skills, 20 ias + other nice mods (dex, resists, etc.) are a lot better than draculs' for a javazon, but if you can't find them then just use Dracul's Grasps.
Dracul's Grasps
10% life leech, 25% chance open wounds, +14 strength. Very nice gloves.
Helm:
If you need the dual leech, use tal mask, but if you don't need the leech, I would suggest to use a better helm, like "Ral" Andy's visage or a Faceted Griffons' to add tons of lit dmg.
Griffons Eye
Defense: 150-260 (varies)(Base Defense: 50-60)
Required Level: 76
Durability: 20
+100-200 Defense (varies)
+1 To All Skills
+25% Faster Cast Rate
-15-20% To Enemy Lightning Resistance (varies)
+10-15% To Lightning Skill Damage (varies)
(Ladder Only)
(Only Spawns In Patch 1.10 or later)
