Is my 1.09 bowazon still viable?

[Flash_in_the_flesh]

Hello! After installing 1.10 patch i found out that my builds are not good enough to kill things in hell. The other thing is that I like to have strong builds without wastes in skills. I deleted 5 of 7 ~80 lvl chars. What is left is a ww fury druid and bowa. So the question is- should I rebuild this ama or am I still able (with your guidance :worship: ) to make it viable.

Here is my 80 lvl ama:

20 GA
20 MS
20 FA
15 CS
5 pierce

1 in all prereq and 1 in all skills in the passiv and magic skills

She is able to kill in hell with decent speed but if I can upgrade this build to be better in 1.10 I will make another 1.

What do You recommend?

Oh and I play SP only so it is a PvM build. I also have most of the best 1.09 items.

Looks okay. Strafe is much more popular now, but MS is still very viable. I love that skill!

You could add some CA to help boost the synergy for FA. Plus, Valk is MUCH improved in 1.10 so pumping this would be very viable. Other than this, the Ama doesn't have too many other synergy changes to worry about. Equipment is much more important in 1.10, especially in hell.

Thats a relief :drool: deleting those precious 1.09 chars was painful :hanky:
Ok than i will put rest of my skills in CA. I have too high lvl -> not enough skill points to put also in valk.

Lets slow down here...

A lot has changed with the release of 1.10. 20 points in guided arrow are wasted. Trust me, one is enough if it gets boosted with +skill items. (the damage increase per point is minimal)

Also, you might consider using a valk, those have proven to be more than helpful at times.
Lastly I would recommend using strafe as your main attack. Again, one point in multi is enough to be boosted by +skill items. Then you can use multi as a backup. I frequently switch between the two attacks, depending what's awaiting me ahead :thumbsup:

Personally, I say you make a new ama. Just start clean and make a real nice ama. It's worth the effort if you ask me. So:

Do some searching and read through the huge amounts of threads regarding this topic. Also: Read Shanksie1337s new guide. Maybe I can convert you to a strafer with Shank's help :lol:
Hope that helps a little.

I'm not saying multi is the best, but the character would still work - unlike the sorcs who have real problems with their 1.09 chars.

Isn't a Strafer much more equipment/speed dependant? So you could use the current Ama to do some MF runs and find a fast bow for use with a Strafer. Skanksie's guide is great by the way and well recommended. Also, freyas touches on using Strafe along with FA.

There is a mini-guide for Multi around which is pretty good. I have noticed that MA seems to be used more often now, especially for PI or mana-burn enemies.

I don't think that Multi isn't viable it is more that Strafe has been made into the skill it was always meant to be.

And definitely use a Valk.

Ok I`ll make another one. Not to replace GA/MS build but to make something new and better. I my old build- I have windforce nosferatu and gaze with it. Another and main thing is that MS looks so cool :drool: i like the carpet-bombing efect.
