So I've got one full set of charms left to make a new vlld, and a jabber is one of my options. I'm pretty much making a new one for the sake of making one, so which build I choose is dependent on what gear I already have that could help it. So, my question: How much dtm is needed generally for a jabber? I used the search, but nothing came up re: this.

I would say a fair ammount of dtm is 30-40. But that might be a little high.

If i remember correctly. My zon had 27dtm and would just barely run out of mana on long duels with a lvl 1 jab. I was planning on making it 45 for a lvl 9 jab. So i'd say a good range is around 25-50 depending on what lvl jab your using.

depends on how much total mana you have, and your skill set up, chewie. the more actual mana you have and the level of jab you use, makes the difference. the higher the level of jab and the less mana you have, the more DTM you need.

when i was making mine, i was planning to have half an inventory of life/ar lcs, 3 ar/fhr gcs, and the rest filled with life/mana lcs. with that, id probably have over 100 mana. i was going to use level 7 jab (i think) which is more mana intensive than lvl 1, and was going to have around 19% dtm.

My VLLD jabazon has 20 dtm with 121 mana and level 9 jab and I'm rarely reduced to 30 mana (and by rarely, I mean maybe 2 or 3 times) though I haven't dueled many smiters. I actually had 26 dtm and 127 mana but I dropped it a bit in favor of more damage and AR.

However, it all depends on your build. I went with low defense (227) and high life (529). This way I get hit more and thus don't need as much mana/dtm as a high defense / lower life build would need.

I have 116 Mana and currently with 0 DTM I will run out on long duels. I use 9 Jab and I normally ran 17% DTM and very seldom had a problem with mana.

I have retired almost all my VLLD but I will probably keep the Zon and I am planning on making her either a new helm or shield that will have around 20-24 DTM built in. That should pretty much take care of any mana issues

MY build is High defense and with Dodge I do not get hit a lot. Sometimes I am begging to get hit just to get a little mana.

How did you manage to get your mana so high? Just with charms?

Hrm, seeing as though I'm gonna be using spare gear (i.e. plain 9 max stuff) i'll probably go 1 jab, and 9 inner sight...but this is more complicated than I thought...maybe I'll try the other builds...lol

waargh sexy java ^^ bit more dmg then mine.

btw does anyone ever seen a eth repair 10ias 70+trow dmg java. dont think anyone on any realm has one... ive been looking for one for over 3 years now.

my setup

450def
100mana
20dmg to mana
350 jab dmg
1500 ar

is enough for almost any duell.

like it has been said, nobody can tell, but u. every time i change one piece of my gear; (helm, armor, shield) i change my mana/ar ratio.
started with 140mana, im down to 95 mana now. just do alot of duells, and take of mana charms till u can last exactly one duell without empty mana pool vs the strongest char u can meat (aka barbs, or ama's)
