Best Gloves for Lightning Fury Amazon (Javazon)
Share
Quick answer
For most Lightning Fury Amazons (Javazons) in Diablo 2 Resurrected, the best gloves are those that combine Increased Attack Speed (IAS) with +Javelin and Spear Skills. In endgame setups, 3 Javelin / 20 IAS Amazon gloves are considered best-in-slot, as they provide both damage scaling and the attack speed needed to reach important breakpoints.
Why attack speed matters for Javazon
Lightning Fury damage scales primarily with skill levels, but overall clear speed depends heavily on how fast you can throw javelins. Reaching the correct IAS breakpoint allows Lightning Fury to feel smooth, responsive, and efficient in dense monster packs.
Because of this, glove choice is less about raw damage and more about enabling the rest of your gear to function optimally.
Best glove options for Lightning Fury Amazon
3 Javelin / 20 IAS Amazon gloves
Gloves with +3 to Javelin and Spear Skills and 20% Increased Attack Speed are the strongest possible option for Lightning Fury Amazons. They directly increase Lightning Fury damage while also helping to reach critical attack speed breakpoints.
Best for: Endgame Javazons focused on maximum damage and clear speed.
Dracul’s Grasp
Dracul’s Grasp is used in some balanced Javazon setups, including the High gear package, because it provides life leech and strong survivability. While it does not offer attack speed or skill bonuses for Lightning Fury, it can make gameplay more forgiving in dangerous or high-density areas.
Best for: Survivability-focused setups or players who value consistency and safety over maximum damage.
Trang-Oul’s Claws
Trang-Oul’s Claws are sometimes used as a transitional option due to their cast rate and resistances. However, they do not provide attack speed or Lightning Fury skill bonuses, which limits their effectiveness compared to IAS-based gloves.
Best for: Temporary or utility-focused setups.
Chance Guards
Chance Guards can be used in magic find–focused Javazon setups when farming easy content. They offer no direct damage or speed benefits, but may be acceptable in low-risk scenarios.
Best for: Magic find farming in low-risk areas.
Best gloves by progression stage
- Early game / entering Hell: Any gloves with attack speed or useful resistances
- Mid game farming: Dracul’s Grasp or other survivability-oriented gloves
- Endgame Javazon: 3 Javelin / 20 IAS Amazon gloves
Gloves and overall gear synergy
Glove choice should always be considered together with your weapon, helm, and other sources of attack speed. If you are upgrading several pieces at once, a complete Lightning Fury Amazon gear package offers a reliable and well-rounded setup, with the option to optimize individual slots further later on.
