This Javazon uses Lightning Fury as its main attack and a nice guide on do's and don'ts is supplied by Flux. Note however that a true Javazon class does NOT have a bow or crossbow on weapon switch. Flux describes a hybrid subclass in truth, but for a Lightning Fury build, his guide is the one to check out. A few pointers I will give right here. | This Javazon uses Lightning Fury as its main attack and a nice guide on do's and don'ts is supplied by Flux.

The Lightning Fury Javazon purely uses the skill as a crowd killer. Against solo creatures, small packs and lightning immunes it is doomed to use another skill. Where Flux uses his bowswitch, a pure Javazon will take her sticks and poke them around using jab, fend or even impale. For this she needs good defense, damage, life, leech, blocking or at least a balance between all of these. That is sometimes quite difficult, but it is up to you to find out how to handle them. It is best to cast Valkyrie in the center of the pack and Decoy on the side. Having a mercenary with you greatly helps as well. Now run into the crowd and stick near your Decoy. Fend or jab your way through the creatures | The Lightning Fury Javazon purely uses the skill as a crowd killer.

Combine with some mana leech and Jab for plenty of mana regeneration. | ||
