Shooby's Lightning Javazon 'Cheat Sheet'
Not a real guide, just a quick reference sheet for the build since a lot of new people tend to start on the mod with it. The only massive different thing Light Javazon have in Reimagined is that Lightning Bolt is actually a viable skill and Elemental Covenant exists.
ATTRIBUTES
If it aint broken, don't fix.
Strength and Dexterity to use gear (or reach desired block chance). All rest Vitality.
SKILL TREE
Loading skill trees…
This tree works for both Lightning Fury or Lightning Bolt main, as well as Charged Strike boss killing.
If you want more points into Valk, you will have to sacrifice something. But since this build reaches high +skill levels at the end, 1 point should be enough.
GEAR BREAKDOWN
Equipment
Helm
High Lightning Damage and -enemy lightning resist rolls.
Amulet
Elemental Craft
High Lightning Damage % rolls. Other useful mods.
Armor
+3 skills High Elemental Damage rolls. Can use a well rolled Diablo's Scale.

4 Jav skills. A lot of added benefit for Lightning Bolt usage. Elemental Crafts theoretical BiS, but boring AF. Titans' is not BiS, but its very good.

For corruptions and enchants, just do whatever you feel like you miss or that will allow you to acess a new important breakpoint. I won't go into it, specially since this build uses a lot of Elemental Craft and I can't know what you will need after you get them. Some slots like head, amulet and weapon are locked into the obvious enchants, just check the wiki for them. +1 all skills obviously the best ones.
What about /Chiad's?
ABSURDLY good set to level, kill all hell, and start to farm hell. Obviously outpaced by the end, specially if you win the lottery on some of your Elemental Rolls.
MERCENARY
If going for a more Lightning Bolt leaning build, an A3 light merc. 75% of its Lightning Enchant is carried by your Lightning Bolt, so gear it very well. You can get a setup on my Lightning Strafe Zon guide.
If going for Lightning Fury, whatever you prefer, but A3 loses a lot of value. I's recommend an A1 to Lower Res debuff from a distance; or an A2 prayer/holyfreeze/defiance for some defensive bonuses.
Whatever you choose, equip them with good mod items. Infinity is not the best source of Conviction. Fortitude is not the best chonk or utility armor. Andariel's is not the best chonk/survival helm. Maras is not the best "catch all" amulet. Raven Frost is nowhere close the best source of Cannot be Frozen. Read wiki for items. I wont just give you a complete setup because where is the fun in discovery by this point?
CONCLUSION
Go out and kill stuff!
