Shield: Shael'd Whitstan's Guard
Gloves: Sander's Taboo
Ring: The Stone of Jordan
Belt: String of Ears
Ring: The Stone of Jordan
Boots: Sander's Riprap
Inventory:
I'm still wondering on whether or not I should hop up to a hit recovery breakpoint. I want this Amazon to be able to tank somewhat, and whitstand alot... I'll also fill up the inventory with +life/mana small charms, along with several poison damage charms.

Strategy:
Against melee: Run off, fling a Plague Javelin at them, and spam Lightning Fury/Bolts... Fairly simple. Finish them off with bow if needed/
Against Sorceress: Combine Guided Arrow (to force them into recovery animation) along with quick Fury or Bolt... So, shoot, run, throw, repeat/
Against other spellcasters: Fling a Plague Javelin and spam Fury/Bolt. Guided Arrow them down if needed.
Against ranged: Guided Arrow, or if they're weak enough, hit and run with Fury.

Questions, comments, and suggestions highly appreciated.

You have no cannot be frozenon that build. I would say use rhyme grim shield, string of ears, and +2javalin skills gloves. You have no need really for high damage spears if you use plague and poision jav.. i would just use some maiden javs with as high of +skills as you can possibly find i think at lvl 30 you can have +2 amazon skill on a maiden, along with +3 javalin skills. helm i think you should use either +1ama with godly mods circlet or plain ol peasant crown, cause you're looking for skills here right. and if you're looking to tank i don't know why you're using a bow o.O maybe get lvl 1 charged strike and with all your +jav skilsl jsut hit with plague jav then use charge strike. agains tnecros just slow missle, hit with psn jav, then try hard to hit with plague jav after poison hits, plague is hard to hit with though if they can tele, then once theyre at 1 life, hit them with poison jav again or a lightning jav. you might not even need slow missle, but it will take a long tiem to kill them. if they use psn negate stuff just dont even duel them its like using absorb for low lvl. dely's psn zon lvl 29 took like probably 5 or 6 full durations of poison javalin for it to kill me with 75 res and 1030 life but it was hard to hit him with slow missle on... but after slow missle went off i beat him everytime :/ anywho i don't know i wouldn't use a bow on this build i would use the extra 4 skill pts in passive or jav tree

Spirit Shroud has "Cannot be frozen"!

oh ya i didn't really read your post that much sorry Razz

i skimmed through it and i was mostly thinking about those candy hearts that you get on valentine's day that say "be mine" or whatever in the "middle" and how nowadays the printnig is always off to the side or smudged or something Mad

that makes memad. stupid valentines day candy makers and their shotty work. but anywho i think you can pass 20,000 poison javalni damage fairly easy dely's is only lvl 29 so only +1 skill gloves and only a 3 to skill jav and when he gets a skill shrie he has like 22k or something, so if you got th e godly +2ama +3 jav skills spear and a +2jav gloves then thats 1 more than dely with a skill shrine so over 22k ! but he doesnt have any in bow tree

Meh... I like the Guided Arrow with the bow; I can keep my distance against certain characters and still be able to hurt him.

Bela, I won against a Bonemancer today with my lv77 Amazon ^_^... It's not that hard, actually... I can just... Keep my distance and spam Guided Arrow from Windforce...

And also... Should I put points to meet the 109 dexterity requirements Ceremonial Javelins? Or should I use lower-class Javelins? Charms?

u dont need that dmg, do you?.. u just need +4 (or 5) to jav skills for more kick ass psn. just get maidens if u can.. its alot easier (nm andy or norm baal runs chances are like 1/75,, exploit quest and u always get rares.. nm andy would probably be best)

i dont feel u should rely on physical dmg with a throwing amazon.. use her skills. her psn can be strong
then just finish off with some good GAs..

u know psn can kill dude just get them to 1 life and get them infected once more.. they die.

i didnt read Bels post..no paragraphs, my eye looses its place.. didnt have time anyway.... but now i check, im just giving the same advice really.

life charms.. life/mana dont bother with psn,, maybe lighitng preffix or fire if u feel like getting some other elements into your ga but i wouldnt bother.

Gear Suggestions:

Gloves: +2 jav 10 ias

Will add to Psn Jav dmg, which of course, seems to be the important part of your build.

Bow: 4 sock Razor/Double bow "ShaelShaelShaelShael"

I dont quite agree with your choice of Gothic Bow. From what it sounds like, the point of GA is mostly to get the last hit/force hit recovery. With a base 10 speed and a huge dex requirement, a Gothic bow is only capable of the damage, and will shoot at a pitiful 13 fpa, with the ias on sanders.

-10 speed bows have a breakpoint of 8 frames at 75 ias. If the damage doesnt seem to be doing enough for you, its always possible to supplement it with max dmg charms.

Belt: String of Ears or Goldwrap.

Its a tossup really. I'd use String vs the melee and physical dmg opponents, and Goldwrap vs the casters. The extra 10 Ias will let you swap out a Shael in your bow for something tastier, and will let you throw Javelins at the same speed as using Sander's Taboo.

Helm: Most definitely a +1 Amazon, 30% frw circlet.

Charms: Mana shouldnt be a huge problem for you, as Psn and Plauge Jav are timered, and Lit Fury should be a somewhat low level. With Stones of Jordan, and a decent +1 Ama life/mana ammy, you should be breaking around 250ish mana before charms. If this isnt enough, Mana/fhr Grand Charms should be cheaper, and just as effective, as life/mana sc's.

Good luck!

At school right now... I'll be working on it once I get home... If I don't need to help any of my friends Confused

what it looks like in your idea for your skills it looks like guided will be just one of those things to give them the 1 hit finish, i like this idea. if it was me i would go all psn jav and when they down to 1 life give them that guided. so that put aside

i would say go with skills gear and not max dmg, put on something like a pruby pcrown becuase that max dmg really won't be needed when down to something like 1 life?. and it will up the dmg of your stuff by the skill addage. just my idea.

I've updated it...

Any suggestions on whether or not to aim for the nearest FHR breakpoint?

why are u shealing whitsans?

http://www.hut.fi/~tgustafs/hitrecovery.html

notice the FBR amounts
fhr breaks are also there

i suppose 6 frames is probably the best u could do.. hitting 5 is way harder

theres really no need to bump a topic in stretegy or discussion, it doesnt get down to page 2 real fast. and if it does make it to page 2, thats a sign that the people have lost interest in the topic and you should just let it die, and maybe do some research on your own.
