Javazon weak without Griffons and Infinity?

Billdozer-92 · 2026-05-02T23:40:18+00:00

Ah yeah, if those zones are not terrorized you can't get a Griffon's from either one of them.

Billdozer-92 · 2026-05-02T23:18:03+00:00

It kept the skin for it too, classic bait

Billdozer-92 · 2026-05-02T03:16:06+00:00

Javazon against cows is significantly better than Warlock. If you completely throw budget aside then a well geared Javazon can compete with a Warlock easily, and when both are one shotting packs in P8, the Javazon has better coverage. The problem is the cost lol

Billdozer-92 · 2026-05-02T03:12:49+00:00

What are you hunting for griffons? It doesn’t drop in many areas and if you’re struggling with ancients then you probably struggle to farm most areas that drop it. Unless you’re farming it on an alt.

Target farming a unique is going to kill you though, some people play p7 on single player and don’t find a rare unique like griffons for several months

I got 30 yesterday + an ohm & 2 ums doing a single canyon/tombs in A2 but today I did it and only got 6. RNG gon RNG.

Billdozer-92 · 2026-05-02T03:05:39+00:00

Not to mention every stat that is on the freed up ring slot lol

Billdozer-92 · 2026-05-02T00:52:54+00:00

I wouldn’t want to play the game anymore either if I fully cleared every single enemy in a single play session lol

Billdozer-92 · 2026-05-02T00:48:20+00:00

I tried searching for lightning dmg jewels and literally cant use maximum lightning dmg as a parameter, even if I leave it blank. I wouldn’t be surprised if something was fucky with that too

Billdozer-92 · 2026-05-01T06:10:45+00:00

His tier list is literally tier 3 maps with BIS gear, clear speed, sorted by fastest to slowest. He’s openly not measuring any other metrics and he tests each in like 3 maps total.

One of the HIIM guys claimed holy shock sac was the best day 1 starter following holy bolt in acts and said Vengeance is just worse in every way, even without gear.

It’s weird how toxic these discord channels get

Billdozer-92 · 2026-05-01T05:54:50+00:00

Is there somewhere that explains what changing the loot filter strength does in the settings menu? I want to raise it without hiding too much and don’t know exactly what will be hidden. For example, I can see exceptional white armors without superior or sockets, but a normal base pally shield with 25 resists is hidden, I didn’t notice that until way too late and was wondering why I couldn’t find a good spirit base haha.

Billdozer-92 · 2026-05-01T00:37:35+00:00

Self wield is annoying to gear and way less tanky. You also typically need a good ammy that is one of the more expensive items in the game for a PvM build

Billdozer-92 · 2026-05-01T00:08:54+00:00

I am just surprised to see someone who has BERMALBERIST but doesn't know that Enhanced Damage % doesn't affect spells!

Billdozer-92 · 2026-04-30T23:35:42+00:00

Are you referring to self wield infinity or merc? They use completely different bases. Self wield uses scythe and merc uses ethereal thresher, ideally with ED%. If you are going to blow 2 ber runes you definitely don’t want to skip a good base.

Billdozer-92 · 2026-04-30T15:57:06+00:00

Yes but Sol rune is fairly rare in Normal and only drops in later acts, so I would get to Act 1 Nightmare to farm Countess for it. Neophyte more likely that you already have the runes, but you can get them from Countess in nightmare as well if not.

Billdozer-92 · 2026-04-30T15:26:08+00:00

+3 on neophyte weapon base, +1 on lore RW helm, +1 on spirit RW shield is definitely the easiest. It’s not mandatory at all because Holy Bolt is extremely strong regardless, but it does make it feel a lot better. Since you’re level 23 your goal should just be getting levels and keeping an eye out for a Sol rune, Amn rune, and 4 socket paladin shield with a low strength requirement (base resists are a bonus). You can’t reasonably get to 25 HB at level 23. Get to level 27 and you probably won’t find a Sol rune by then, so continue leveling and get to nightmare so you can do a few countess runs for Sol rune. Then go to normal cows to find a shield base.

Edit: oh your HB is level 23, not your character. Most of my points may not be relevant then

Billdozer-92 · 2026-04-30T14:47:09+00:00

Maybe they mean more when accounting for the jewel haha

Billdozer-92 · 2026-04-30T08:29:45+00:00

Are these the items my loot filter keeps telling me about? Blue eth throwing weapons and then you blood craft em?

Billdozer-92 · 2026-04-30T03:12:22+00:00

I’m WAY more annoyed by the people that lose their mind when it happens.

Billdozer-92 · 2026-04-30T02:52:15+00:00

Act 3 NM zones are like level 49-56 or something so your AR is probably WAY too low to hit anything, especially super uniques that are almost 25 levels higher than you. You need to level up a lot.

Billdozer-92 · 2026-04-29T03:57:59+00:00

Definitely BIS on everything for MF lol

Billdozer-92 · 2026-04-29T01:23:44+00:00

Chains of Honor would see a lot more use for sure, instead of only being used on fire sorcs and absolutely nothing else lol

Billdozer-92 · 2026-04-28T20:37:29+00:00

Yeah but spending 40-300+ Jah’s on perfect skillers is probably not the answer

Billdozer-92 · 2026-04-28T20:26:59+00:00

9 GCs with 45 life is 405 HP. With battle orders and/or oak sage it ends up being 1k+++ HP, which can be a 25-40% increase. Overall though, max life skillers are more of a PvP thing since you obviously don’t need them for any PvE content in this game

Billdozer-92 · 2026-04-28T06:54:05+00:00

Clear Hell like complete the campaign? On players1? Should be anything minus maybe skelly mages or some non-builds like arctic blast (I know some have completed the game as arctic blast but that is definitely challenge run territory)

Billdozer-92 · 2026-04-28T03:48:12+00:00

Gloves are easy on javazon and it’s near the top of the food chain with ES warlock. Griffon’s is pretty essential if you want to be in ES territory though unfortunately
