this idea of mine takes part from old old posts by warlock and fredsta (http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=624662&highlight=strafe) and warlock's "sprayzon" (fastest strafe+arrow speed possible+CB) zon build and the other part from an IAS calculator link (http://diablo3.ingame.de/tips/calcs/speedcalc_titanseal/speedcalc_english.php) found on the diablo 2 wiki (http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Breakpoint_Tables).

all credit goes to those who i borrowed stuff/info/"data" from
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction/Back-story:

The Rogue Amazon is a unique hybrid child from a forbidden union between amazons and rogues. The male father is a one of the highest kept secrets. There are many rumors as to who or what he is. The male father may be from the amazons, even though they appear to be entirely made up of females. The male father could be from the rogues, even though they appear to be entirely made up of females. Some even suggest the male father to be a captured demon or even a willing angel.

Whatever the circumstances of her birth, her powers and abilities are without question. For this unique hybrid child possess not only both the abilities and powers of amazons and rogues, but even seemingly inhuman powers and abilities as well. She has just grown up into adulthood and is finally ready to join the forces of good (humans and angels) against the forces of evil (humans and demons).

The Amazon Rogue is in a class all of her own. At first glance she seems like an ordinary bow using amazon, however she succeeds and dominates when all other bow using amazons fail and die. She is capable of decimating the hordes of hell even within diablo's lair and staying alive without so much as a scratch.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conception:

the opposite of fredsta's "glass cannon" bow zon. enough str/dex for gear, rest into vit. MAX attack speed, 2 or 3 frame strafe. crushing blow, open wounds, cannot be frozen, poison duration reduction, knockback, chance to flee. but little resists.

alterations:

1. same as above (conception), but with a valk
2. same as above (conception), without or with a valk (alteration #1), high resists but less special mods.

I think you meant this build-guide made by Fredsta:

no...half my idea comes from another post/guide by either fredsta or warlock (i think). it's a very very very old post. one of them (i think) talked about having made/tried/used a bow zon with rogues bow and CB gear. (maybe i'll stop being lazy and try to find it before i complete this guide..MAYBE)

this guide IS about a build that is opposite to fredsta's "glass cannon" build that u jsut posted, however

I think this can be seen as an alternate approach (but with similar aspects to Fredstas "Glass Cannon") relying on AS with Crushing blow and high life, different to Fredstas Low Life (high DEX)/Strafe+crushing blow build.

this isn't exactly the posts/build that i remember, but it's close enough. i added the link for half of the idea for mine i took it from. (it's now on my-post #1 of this thread)

i'll put the link that i'm refering to, here as well:

http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=624662&highlight=strafe

as u can now see, from this link ^, i was NOT referring to fredsta's glass canon thread in what i used for this slightly different and maybe/hopefully improved build. even i can stop being lazy from time to time, and dig up things i remember seeing/reading:D

machine-gun ... sprayazon...close enough (for my memory anyways) :P i knew i remembered seeing/reading these posts...and now i have found them and posted the link for it :D
