Hybrid amazon questions

[Darke Rahl]

I'm planning to create a hybrid i allocated pskill points here:
20 lighting fury
20 power strike
20 exploding arrow
20 immolation arrow
1 point in all p&m tree
1 in prereqs

Now i don't know if it's better that i put the remaining 17 skill points into freezing arrow and prereqs or if it's better to put them into lighting fury's synergies,place in fire arrow or into p&m skills tree.Also it'll be good?

No charged strike? Synergies for Lightning Fury are really pointless. It's power comes from pierce and shot placement. How many in pierce?

Personally I'd ditch the fire tree altogether. Max Charged Strike, Max LF. Max Freezing arrow and Cold arrow. Seven in Pierce (I think... been a while) and rest in Valk. Hybrid Zon is tough, but pretty fun. My hybrid did very well last ladder on HC east. In fact she got all my others characters their gear. But seriously... Charged strike rules and LF won't do much without some pierce.

thanks for suggestions i'll place points into cs and pierce but last time i maxed cold arrow and in this ladder i want to try with fire :p

good call on diversity. I myself like Immolation arrow Explodiing. One tip for you make yourself the cheap runeword Obedience polearm( 30% chance to cast level 20ish enchant when kill an enemy). Go to act 1 activate enchant than switch gear to Java. So your Fire will be even greater. Or you can always have demon limb if you dont mind the repair cost or collecting ort runes to repair it. Good Luck.

No passives, that worries me.

You really need to find the skill points to put something into penetrate. Both the elemental arrows and the lightning fury benefit hugely from piercing.


Interesting and innovative build, just seems like the passive tree has been neglected a little though.

I've been working on my meteorb sorc last couple of days and got to thinking about your post again. I mostly play zons or sorcs and the thing that always drove me crazy with the zon (along with everyone else) were the pesky (and dangerous) lightning immunes. While contemplating some deviation from Sasja's guide I got to thinking that the lighting immune monsters do seem to be highly vulnerable to fire. Normally one meteor or a few fireballs is enough to drop them in hell even in a multiplayer game. So using your fire bow skills only on the light immunes could be an interesting bit of gameplay. Might work well, especially since charged strike and LF pretty much decimate anything not lightning immune. Let us know how it works out plz. But you still need passives (and I'm big on skimping on them too).

if cold immune, you can jab or multi/strafe
