Got L92 strafezon, she's been one of my most enjoyable chars I played so far.

Even tho she has best gear on her including Fortitude and WF, she could do with less and much cheaper options.
atm without any charms her damage is 324-3577 per arrow, but if you count pierce in and Reapers toll on merc, it goes up drastically

:)))

[stuntkiller]

yep you help but i realy like to know dmg was well for example whit buriza or one unic bow 500, 1k, 2k?

[bodis]

It all depends on the skills your going for.

Buriza??? :scratch: too slowwwwww...

[stuntkiller]

buriza is only 1 example but 3000 dmg an average get 1 or 1.5k dmg that is very good

1- whith medium gear what is ama dmg on each arrow?

I have medium gear. Harmony, treachery, dex build, razortails, lava gount, crown of the thieves, raven frost, and some crap without might merc. Charm were not that great. I hit at about 1.2k. Count in max pierce, 70% critical and 9/2 strafe and even that number is not that bad. I probably can solo anything before diablo without much problem if they go for my valk and not me.

2- bow ama are good for both pvm and pvp or only 1?

Yes, a bowazon is good at both, though they need very different build unlike some char. Guided sucks and pvm, though is the best skill for pvp. Multi goes for both though without a decent tank and little knockback. I don't know the power of that amazon. the other way around is the lack of dodge and survivability. It is possible though not easy I think.

4- ama can be good as others chars?

not coutning some overpower, disbalance builds - enigma hammerdin anyone? I think an amazon can be just a good as any other char. Perhaps they are a bit more subtile in the place where they rock, though for a party they can really good. Other char may have more damage, though a good amazon can have decent damage without the fear of running into immunes what so ever - hybrid. And they can have one of the best tanks with little points investment. I rock in some diablo runnes just because my valk is the only tank that can stand put to the venom lords, combine that with freezing arrow and the party would have problems without my amazon.

Guess I'll ask this here, don't want to start a new thread. Multishot Bowa's my favorite, but I can't play enough to get uber gear, so I'll settle with medium for now. I'm strictly PvM, would like to focus on WSK, Halls, CS, Pits, Cows. Currently here's my gear:

Harmony MatBow
Mav's Diadem socketed with 15 IAS
Atma's scarab (have cat's too, but i love amp)
Ravenfrost
Angelic Mail (lol, see below for reason)
Angelic Ring (for the 900ish AR I get with 2 items at level 82)
Mav Belt
Lavagouts/Laying of Hands
Sander's Riprap

Definitely room for improvement. Trying to get my hands on some Gore riders. Now about the armor and ring, with penetrate, this 900 turns into a huge bonus in AR, but I'm sure diminishing returns gets involved. So I was thinking I'd make a treachery mage plate tonight, since that seems to be a cheap alternative. And I even have a lem :P

Nos' Coil would be nice too, but like i said, I'm on a budget.

I don't have any knockback either, so that's a concern as well.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Also, regarding stats/skills (level 82): I have about 90 stat points unspent. After bonuses: 280ish Dex (low I know), 720ish life after a couple charms (forgot how much vit I've spent, but my last bowa got one shotted more times than I can count). Str for Mat Bow. Most should go into dex I think but I'll probably never get anni/torch.

Gonna end up with about 10-15 unspent skill points as well. As far as I remember here's my current build before bonuses: 6ish in MA, 13 in MS, 3-4 GA, 2ish Strafe, 1-CA/FA, 2 in evades, max valk, 4ish in decoy, max penetrate, 3-4 pierce/crit.

Thanks for reading all this :P

Quick thought,

angelic armor -> treachery
scarab -> angelic ammy (scarab while nice, limits your other gear too much while on a budget, IMO)
mavs -> stealskull (speed + leech + mf, what's not to like?)
gloves -> crafted knockback 20% IAS (standard issue source of knockback and ias ;))
belt -> razortail, or maybe a rare for resists. (razortail for more pierce - kill speed, or rare for safety)

Eventually, once decent AR without angelic is archieved it could be swapped for:
Ammy -> Crescent Moon/Scarab/resists, depending on what you need the most - leech or chance to cast amp
ring -> leech/ravenfrost/resists

Personally, I'd gun for pumping Magic Arrow or raise your defensive passives with the remaining points. Magic Arrrow at zero mana cost is very nice, and at maxed it's a good way to depose of singles/PIs. :)

I have a CS running zon with the gear posted above, she gets ~100% MF with charms and runs CS sooooo easily I can do the run with one hand (just did, was on the phone).

PS: slvl 1 jab on switch with Hone Sudan is great for butchering bosses. :)

Going to be pretty hard to give up 300% damage to demons losing the gloves, but i'll give it a try. I'll pick up an angelic ammy too. About the hit power recipe:

Magical Chain Gloves
or Heavy Bracers (Excep)
or Vambraces (Elite)
+ Jewel (any)
+ Ort Rune (#9)
+ Perfect Sapphire

Do they have to be magical, or can they be rare with more mods?

[Jek]

Pretty sure they have to be magical, but it's original mods will be removed in favor of a set of new so they'll basicly become rare + the safety mods.

It'll take a few tries to get the IAS, but it's well worth it. I know, losing the LoH damage can be rather anoying, but there's not many other places to get knockback. :-/
