Build Synapsis

The Javazon is the most popular build for the Amazon. The main abilities of this build are Charged Strike and Lightning Fury. Charged Strike is used for single target melee. Lightning Fury in combination with Pierce is used to clear mass waves of enemies. Once the Javazon acquires the Infinity Rune Word, there are very few places that she cannot farm effectively. This build is very mana intensive so be prepared to use a lot of mana potions.

Skills

The following section lists the core abilities for this build.

• 1 into prerequisites
• 20 lightning Fury
• 20 into Charged Strike
• 20 into Lightning Bolt
• 20 into Lightning Strike
• 17 into Power Strike

The build listed above is used when you have most of the final build gear. If you don’t, it is recommended to put extra points in to Pierce instead of Power Strike so that your Lightning Fury bolts have a 60% or higher pierce chance. Once you get the Razortail belt you will only need 10 points ,which can come from gear, into Pierce to cap out.
