ok, i'm a little stuck on my amazon. This is no "help my amazon gets owned in hell, what shall i do"-thread ;)

here's the deal: I've planned my amazon's gear now, got everything together, but now i realize i have no life leech. D'oh! this is what i planned:

Skills: Multishot (yes, multishot, i don't like strafe ;))
I'm playing on USEast SC Ladder

Armor: Fortitude Archon Plate (i just LOVE that armor! +300% damage!)
Helm: Kira's Guardian (style and resists)
Amulet: Atma's (Amp)
Bow: Windforce (Socket: see below)
Belt: Razortail
Rings: Ravenfrost x 2
Gloves: Laying of Hands
Boots: Wartravs

as you can see, there's no life leech. So i thought aboput it a bit, and got the following options:

1) Exchange 1 raven for a BK (at the cost of 20 Dex and 2xx AR)
2) Exchange Laying of Hands for Draculs, Hand of Broc or Soul Drainer (at the cost of IAS and with Dracul and Soul Drainer my amp gets overwritten)
3) Exchange Razortail for Nosferatus (at the cost of pierce and dex)
4) Exchange Atma's for Life Leech Amu and screw Amp (though that will cut my killing speed down quite a bit)
5) Exchange Kira's for Vamp Gaze (and run like a chicken at every sight of elemental damage) or Tal Rasha's Mask (and be ugly as hell)... no, screw tals mask :D

any suggestions what to do? or did i miss something?

EDIT: forgot something:

The IAS issue: with sheal'ed WF and LoH i have 60 IAS, enough for the 10 frame BP. I also have a 37/15 jewel (found today, weeeee), but that would lower my IAS to 55% (1% off the bp, meh) but since there's no BP between 35% and 55% i could ditch the LoH (but also the 350% dmg to demons) and get another pair of gloves. Opinions?

What skill do you use for boss kill? GA ? what about physical immune monster?

Switch one of the raven for a bk ring for life leech. The belt for a nosferatu for higher IAS. The ammy to a highlord ( or is it cats eye, the one that give IAS ) for more IAS.

thx for the reply, but i beg to differ.

against physical immunes i have magic arrow and atmas scarab which has a 5% chance to cast amp. razortail grants me 33% pierce and the combination of Highlord's & Nosferatus doesn't grant me another BP

You can't rely on that 5% chance to cast amp to work always. 5% is too small imo.

Magic arrow should be nice. but it hit a single target rather than multiple target. where you'll encounter multiple physical immune monster in arcane santuary ( ghost ) or world stone lv3 ( wraith or the harlot witches ) .

true, i learned that the hard way ;)

I switched Atma's for Highlords and i don't have any problems at all. I marched through act 1-4 Hell as if i were in Nightmare :D
For my Lifeleech issues i switched one Raven for a BK

thx for your help Ghost :)
