Good amazon build?

[MrWh00pee]

I want my amazon to have a good build im lvl 42 and hardly spent any skill points. I want to be a bow/javalin zon with some stats in passive.

What should I up?

I know I want for sure

Lightning fury
Lighting mastery
guided arrow
multi Arrow
Valkarie

[kiba]

no valkerie.

[HiTS]

no valkerie.

Why? A valk is the best summoned ally in the game. Perhaps you could give a reason, or three, why you would advise against its use.

[MrWh00pee]

No I put down that that's one of the things that I know I want.

[eNtitY-]

maybe put 1-2, in CS, Dodge, evade, Piercing...

yea u should valk... good tank

[saracen85]

go fishy..

max lightning fury, charged strike, freezing arrow, cold arrow.

put at least 1 in pierce. and you'll never need a valk. your freezing arrow is a good crowd control by itself.

[HiTS]

It you want to invest fairly heavily in passives it might be better to choose either bow or javelin tree. You might spread yourself too thin if you try to cover all three trees.

[MrWh00pee]

what skills should i max?

I was thinking

Multi arrow
Guided Arrow
lightning Fury
lighting mastery

Puitting some into passive

then the rest into cinergies. do I really want the cold arrow or do I want to lvl up the guided and multi?

[saracen85]

first things first.. zons don't have lightning mastery. for java skills, go lf and cs. they work well together.

since you're going physical bow skills, strafe is usually a better skill to max. get multi-shot to a level where there's a nice arrow spread, ie ~lvl 10-11 with +skills. guided arrow is more for pvp.

do note that since you're going physical, you need to invest points in penetrate for the ar, unless you're using faith (that's itd & +300ar) or other itd bows (do note that they'll won't work with uniques/champions/bosses)

[MrWh00pee]

whats strafe i dont see strafe on here? Do i need to max cold arrow and such or just go with multi? Also do i need to max all the cinergies for lf?

[saracen85]

check the guides.. it seems you're new to zons.
look out for bow/java hybrids =)

If your going to use physical bow skills, be it multi or strafe, don't max either of them. GA is a good option to max, but since your going to have cs for boss killing, it's not that necessary. If it were me, I would build more of a light java with a bow back up. With 5 or so in either strafe or multi and 10 or so into GA. 1 into d/e/a penetrate, and critical strike. Get your valk up to lvl 17 with plus skills and max lf and cs. Left over points could be spent in pumping your jav synergies, pumping up d/e/a, improving your bow skills, or pumping up your valk. It all depends on how your playing style is.

ill should defenitly scrap the multi and go for strafe and use Valkyrike instead of GA when you are a hybrid.. But thats just my opinion..:)

is there and kinda zon who uses guided arrow as their main attack??

cuz i know of a lvl 23 amazon who killed my lvl 79 barb pretty fast....

so i wanna be ablw to pwn too :0

[sinisterfx859.com]

Guided is the only choice for pvp. BUt for pvm, strongest build is straffe. And yes you want a valk for pvm.

[LaBlaah101]

ya ur spreading ur self thin deicde either bow or jav and make the commitment.... doing 2 in helll ur not gonna go anyhware

is valkire worth investing in???

[Taurean]

Actually, you won`t need more than maxing freezing arrow and maybe an Ice runeword bow, or you can use Melody, on Weapon switch to deal with Lightning Immunes in Hell, who are walls to most Javazons.

[gravitybomb6]

i tryed all three trees on my necromancer once made most of his stats in sumoning, it didnt turnd out to well if i had better armor i would have kicked butt, but i got owned by a lvl 15 sorcress, and i deleted taht necromancer and never looked back even tho it was my first lvl 57 necromancer.

[ghunter62]

I agree either bow or javalin you will be spread to thin in hell. Everything is imune to something and it takes alot to kill them.
