After finding 6 different bows/crossbows (Most notable ones being Kuko, Demon Machine, and Witchwild) in a row I decided that fate would have me to start a Bowazon (Not specific to PvP or PvM, just trying out the class as a whole). Quickly playing her to 33ish level and giving her the kuko, I am begging to doubt my build choice.
I planned on making a fire based bowazon with maxing out strafe, guided arrow, and all 3 fire arrow types. While I currently do 100-400 damage with normal attack and 600-1100 with immolation arrow, all of which is really nice I don't know how well she will cut in nightmare and hell.
I am currently sitting at 1 point in every skill in the passive/magic tree, 1 point in magic arrow, guided arrow, multishot, and strafe, 3 in fire arrow, 11 in exploding, and 10 in immolation. I plan to max out the fire skills first, then max out strafe, and lastly guided arrow then put left over points in passive skills as my equip sees fit. I am very poor, just started ladder after 2 years of not playing diablo, my best pieces of equip at the moment avaivable for the zon are Tal Rasha Mask, Kuko, and Demon Machine.
So, questions...
1. How should I distribute my stats? I currently got 60 str and rest of the points in dextirity, none in vitality or energy. Should I keep on pumping dex and then put points in vitality to beef up HP, or should I start alternating between them now? Or is there some other option which will make it a better amazon?
2. Is my skill distribution fine? Will I be effective at soloing hell if needed, and be able to stand my own at PvP? Or should I remake into ice maiden or physical damage based bowazon if I want a better bowazon char overall?
3. Merc. Three choices outlined, Act 2 Might, Act 2 Freeze, or Act 1 Cold. Which better complements bowazon gameplay?
Please help the newbie out!
*edit Please don't send me off to the guides section unless you have a specific guide in mind! I looked through them and they answered no questions seeing as they are very outdated or have different builds in mind.
