I agree with Roy.
In Hell you will run into dual immune monsters. So in order to progress
expediously you will need three credible attacks. Your Javazon will be
primarily lightning based, and you can depend on your mercenary to deal
physical damage. So you will personally need a third damage type. Cold, in
the form of Freezing Arrow is a good alternative.
Playing SP you cannot depend on other players, or specialized gear, so you
need to plan your build to deal with dual immunes. You won't need to deal
with dual immunes with any regularity till Hell. so you can pump up your
primary attack till late NM. But come Hell, you will need a third damage
type, so plan ahead.
Also, a wand with Lower Resist charges on weapon switch is VERY nice. It
will break the immunity of some monsters, and speed killing of others a
great deal. And they are easily shopable. Further, it's cheaper to buy a
new
wand than to recharge an existing wand, so check the vendors often and buy
them whenever you see one.
