I currently have a level 53 Bowazon (strictly PvM) that has 32 (yes, thirty two) unused skill points. For equipment I have a Valkyrie Wing helm (+2 Skills), rare gloves with +2 Passive & Magic skills, Lycanders Aim (+2 skills & +2 Bow & Crossbow skills) and at level 65 I will add a Highlord's Wrath, and I also hope to obtain a Hellfire Torch as well.
Total to All Skills +4 (+8 possible with Highlords/Torch)
Total to Passive & Magic +6 (+10 possible with Highlords/Torch)
Total to Bow & Crossbow +6 (+10 possible with Highlords/Torch)
I have base skills allocated as such:
Passive & Magic
1 - Inner Sight
1 - Slow Missles
1 - Decoy
1 - Valkyrie
1 - Dodge
1 - Avoid
1 - Evade
1 - Penetrate
1 - Pierce
7 - Critical Strike
Bow & Crossbow
1 - Magic Arrow
1 - Guided Arrow
1 - Cold Arrow
1 - Ice Arrow
1 - Freezing Arrow
5 - Multishot
The last time I had an Amazon was way back in 1.08 in which I had maxed multishot, freezing arrow, pierce, and valkryie. A Windforce bow and Razortail belt allowed me to pretty much solo a Hell Cow level with no problems. But then again, since 1.10 and all the synergy nonsense, I'm not sure where I should allocate my skills. However, thus far I have managed to get into Act 4 Nightmare without any major problems.
This is a straight bow character, so I'm not putting anything into the Javelin & Spear tree. I had an excellent time with multishot back in the day, but now I hear conflicting information in regards to multishot vs. strafe.
Yes, I have checked out the Multishot vs. Strafe topic already but that didn't really sway my mind one way or the other. You have to remember that "strafe-lock" was an issue when I last played a Bowazon.
I have 32 skills points right now to play around with - give me some ideas on where I should put them.
