I wish to create one not unlike the mageazon, in that she does not use any life/mana steal gear, instead relying on a huge mana pool to progress. Basically the idea is to use the cheap act1 javelins and 'lightning fury' everything until I throw up Will I absolutely need to use jab? Hopefully not, so I don't have to pump dex in order to equip the more powerful javelins.

I read both guides at the Amazon Basin but they don't delve very deeply into each variation on this subclass.

Thanks for your help.

WWF is not World Wrestling Federation !

You are going to see a LOT more javazons in the Xpack, including jabless and jab-lite versions, and not just because of the changes/improvements to throwing weapons.

Sirian's Diablo II Page

You can use Lightning Fury exclusively, but leeching becomes a problem (unless you resort to using Normal Attacks or switching weapons)

For the Dex, there is little harm in investing to be able to use exceptional throwing spears. You can save it for the Act end bosses (unless you're using Lightning bolt/Fury in which case any old javelin will do). You might want to get Pierce as high as possible, Penetrate for AR, etc.

I guess I might be viable. I guess you'll be using a shield with that so Defensive and offensive-wise, its okay. But what happens if you have a Lightning resistant monster? What's your plan B? If you use missile tactics, you can't use CB to take down high HP monsters. You sould try the Valk tank and then poison monsters but that would take ages.
