Re: A lightning Javazon: The Hardcore project
If both your LF Amazon and your friends poison necro have decent gear you're going to race through the game. You Valk is going to be trailing behind pretty much all the time.
Then again, I can't really think of anything more useful to spend the points in - you don't need more synergy or passives - except for a few points in Pierce.
I have another idea, but this one is for your friend: instead of Revives, let him invest in Dim Vision. That will give you all the safety you need: it eliminates all possible threats in the game (dolls, gloams, vipers ...). If your friend has max Dim Vision the range willl be about 2 screens. That means he needs to cast it once in every new area and all monsters will be blinded. Obviously when you cast Lower Resist the DV goes away, but you can do that selectively because LR has a small radius, while the remaining monsters in the area won't bother you. And for most monsters you won't even need LR because Lightning Fury and Poison Nova do huge damage (assuming you have a bit of gear).
For bosses you can use Clay Golem and a 1-pt Valk as tanks. CS will get any boss down pretty quickly.
Conviction doesn't lower poison res - only fire/cold/lightning. So Infi doesn't benefit the necro - but it's still useful. Equip the other merc with an Insight. Both use Prayer mercs - the Prayer auras work cumulative.
An upped GA isn't great armor because it's very heavy. Viper is great because it's so light (the rest of your gear can be light too). CoH and Shaftstop are excellent as well.
