Guide: WS K Amazon

**Carolus Rex** · 23-11-2009, 08:17

This is a general Amazon question, and a nearly identical question was asked just a few posts ago, but for javelins, when you use up all the throwing quantity does it just poof? Say I use a titans revenge and get it to 0 quantity, does it poof on me? I think that happened to one of my generic white javelins earlier.

If the javelin has 'replenishes quantity', like the Titan's, it will reach 0 and stay there until you get a few back.

IIRC you can also repair any non-ethereal javelins to replenish their quantity.

Me and my brother recently started playing Diablo 2 v1.12 upon learning of the upcoming Diablo 3. I went with Nightfish's WSK Amazon and my brother went with an Avenger Pally. We're doing pretty good and have just reached Hell. We've gone Players 8 the whole way together. Now We're in Act I, Blood Moore. Hell is a lot harder than expected (First time in Hell, last time we played we we're about 12 and 10

)but we're trying to stay in Players 8. Was wondering if with my brother's conviction aura I could just quit lvling up my bow skills and try to max CS and LF. Figured my brother could take out lightning immunes and such.

Well, I would think that you should max LF first. Isn't that what the guide recommends (haven't read it in a while)?

Also, there's no shame in toning down the /players setting a bit. Maybe you could just try /p7 since the item drops will be the same, and it will be just a bit easier.

The only problem with the conviction aura is that its radius isn't very large, so when you fire off-screen, you don't benefit from the aura.

**Hell Gecko** · 27-12-2009, 20:35

Well, I what I meant was that I would give up on the rest of the bow skills and just max one of CS's synergies. Plus I don't really care about working on MF. I just want to beat hell for the first time and make my character as strong as possible. But I only play over LAN so I just wondered if we could kill faster with CS and LF at something crazy like slvl 30+, even though I would have to leave the bow skills behind.

No.

You need -elr% equipment to be able to rely on just the javelin skills. Besides, with conviction and a high pierce (85-100%), freezing arrow should be a sight to behold. Conviction should take care of AR, so the arrow would pierce very effectively, and deal lots of damage. They're actually much more cool than lightning fury

Quick comments:
-Rhyme runeword shields would seem perfect for this build; surprised that this wasn't mentioned. %MF, %Block, Faster Block Rate, %Mana Regen, Cannot Be Frozen; %Gold Find. These are all top-notch mods!
-Raven frost is a nice ring with dex (blocking), cold damage (freezing arrow), cannot be frozen (freezing arrow), mana (w00t!), and cold absorb (not bad).
-Having tons of fun in nightmare, and can't wait to hit hell!

Rhyme: It must have been mentioned somewhere in the thread. My first fishy carried it.. (reread)

Raven: Well, it is standard. It's likely mentioned in the thread somewhere. (reread)

**My first reaction was: Of course it has!!

But, then I reread the first thread going through it carefully.

It is surely mention in later posts.

Fun in NM: yes, hell is when the fun begins!

I absolutaly agree on this. I'm also in nightmare and it is so fun!

Post mentioned SS but 156 str is way too much so i also decided to use Rhyme and i'm happy with it. Ravenfrost as well.

I was wondering does any of you have any idea about body armor? Skulder's and Tal's are nice but i was looking for something nicer if there is any of course

After skimming through, I'm shocked to find that NF has not mentioned it. RF is an ideal ring, and both skulder's and Tal's are very good mf armors.

I've had a few drinks, so I hope that my advice is still good....
