Need some advice for my mf amazon

[Gin]

Hi all. I'm making a new amazon to mf.

My areas of mf will be cows/pits/cs/countess.

Right now i need advice on my stats and skills build.
Here's what i already thought of:

LF-Max
CS-Max
Strafe-Max
Penetrate-Max
Pierce-9
Critical Strike-10
D/A/E-1

Total pts:102

Actually im not sure about maxing out CS or not as i wont be doing any boss killing(except for countess, i dont think she's consider as a boss). I plan to max CS because it adds dmg to LF and its also a great skill.

For the stats:

Str- Enough to hold items
Dex-As much pts as possible
Vita-70 to 80
Energy-base

What do you all thk about my build? Will it work out well?

Thanks in advance.

It would help greatly to know your gear.

[Gin]

Oh.. sorry for not stating my gear.

Currently, i will be using:

Weapon1: Titans/Tstroke+Splendor
Weapon2: Faith GMB
Helm: Stealskull With Ptopaz
Armor: Skullder Ire
Gloves:Chance Guard
Boots:War Trav
Rings:Raven Frost/ Rare Ring with 20mf/5ll/ and some other mods
Amulet: Cresent Moon/Atma Sacrab

Will be getting a Enigma soon.

So what do u all think about my build?

Thanks again.

dump the chance guards

put on laying of hands instead

the 350 demon ED will make mf runs way more powerful than and magic find the chance guards would provide, especially for pit runs where 4 of the 5 monster types are demons

max LF + CS + strafe is redundant

you want to use LF to take on crowds right? what's the point of strafe then? to take on single targets? isn't that the point of your maxed CS? you want strafe as a PI backup?

i would just recommend a regular 20/20 setup with fury/strafe and put the remainder in valk

[Hrus]

Use Strafe only as backup skill IMHO. I would have rather something like this:
20 LF, 20 CS, 20 lightning strike (as synergy), ~10 valk, 10+ strafe.
faith has ITD, so you don't need Penetrate so much.

Also change your gear towards the lightning build (you need more +skills): Harlay, +3java/20IAS gloves (or rare +2 java/20IAS/MF), +2 skills amulet or Mara's .

[Gin]

I wanna max LF because it takes down cows pretty fast. As for strafe, because archers in pits are immune to lightning so i think strafe would be a great help. I thought i might need AR for LF and Starfe so I plan on max-ing out Penetrate.

Hmm.. now im getting confused.

[Blis]

Archers have never been a problem for my LF zon, upped titans takes them down in 5ish throws....to lazy to switch. I am however useing Highlords, so Ive got about 95% chance to crit strike.

[Gin]

Hmm.. so a pure light javazon will do well in cows/pits/countess?

[Omikron8]

Pit monsters have pathetic HP even in 8 player games when you compare the to the monster hitpoints of chaos/WSK/throne enemies

Jab + shield + titans should take down LI pit archers easily while a valk and a merc give you cover so you don't get shot down quickly

[Gin]

Oh.. i see. Thank y'all very much.

[Lyrs]

Or you could just make a Faith based bowazon. My lvl 75ish Faithzon is clearing Pits in /p8 faster than my psn nova necro and with the points saved from not needing to max penetrate, her dae are relatively high, even survivable in pvp.

PI are dealt with Magic arrow.

[Gin]

Yup.. i had a faith based bowazon. But because i wanna do cow runs also, which is why i decide on making a javazon.
