Yeah, Javazon is a really overpowered char. Actually I FARM TA WITH TU EQUIPMENT:
-tu cervelliere
-tu heavy belt
-lament of the arzobisp (well, rares amulet and rings really help and sometimes outshine uniques. a 44 lvl doom more TTAD, more 2-4 all skills and LAK is possible to get). Also, tu gives a lot of options: Angel heart is noticeable here
-dual empyrean band.
-tu splint mail . The loved Jitan's kamon... that's right.
-tu setzshield.
-Honorific boots with 60 all resist, 60 to strenght and 60 to dex.
-Honorific gloves with the same mo that gloves.}
-Weapon: TU glaive, actually double mo'ed.
Now, call me noob, I don't care, but I use a special skillplan:
15 to ricochet.
20 to moonbeam. USE IT ALL TIMES
10 or so to Defensive Harmony for get the 50% slow
10 to fairy ring... for the lulz of moar fire damage, and I don't know how invest the rest of my skill points...XD
Actually I'm thinking in max Balance, and invest 10 hard points in WILD AND FREE.
1 point requisites.
No black road skill.
Uber skill: SOV. Yeah, it's right. 1 point wonder. After 100 runs the game finally drop me some sacred javelins like ember storm, Ashenwind, the heartseeker and a Phantom Flight and some RAINDANCE... But I still prefer my dear TU glaive.About charms: 17 at moment... Going for Yshari charm... (damned veil kings of Mephisto

)
Places to farm: TA with some deaths in the process... I let my merc do the killing, cause at moment, with my gear full socketed with P amethysts, I only get 50% of block...and my "king midas" survives and kill nicely with his gear full socketed with LUM runes. Ofc, if wish "speed the run", I don't die, but I get less uniques, sacred uniques and sets in the run...
Duncraig is affordable, the main areas.(except the teleport zones, thank you Marco for killing the fun in Duncraig and transform this place in a boring uber...you know, you summon fire elementals, teleport in the area, DIE. Then, recast your fire elementals, resurrect the mercenary, use waypoint in cold plains until he get Graveyard, returno to Duncraig using tp, teleport again, DIE AGAIN, and repeat until you can do corpse recovery. VERY FUN Finally I get a useful demonsbane in my second attemp of completing the uber, in 1.5 hours....after that, I will not return again. VERY BORING PLACE WITH ONLY 2 ZONES TO FARM DECENTLY.).
An useful tip: invest in some AR...AND try max block... even 30% with 10k of defense is better than nothing.
