MA to kill PI's?

Hi,

I want to play an amazon with the new ladder, based on strafe. Only problem I have is killing PI's, and I was wondering if MA can do it since I've never try to kill with it in hell. Let's say I max it and get + 5 to skills, that would be 25% of my damages that would be magical, is it enough to kill in a solo game? An in 8 players games (I guess not )?

Or what other options would be more viable? A bow with high elemental damages (like hellrack but with less str needed) and the high attack speed of strafe could be enough?
What about amp (with atma's scarab or on a rare bow on switch)? Is there a lot of monsters that have too much physical resist to be PI even with amp?

Any other way to deal with PI's? I don't wanna use javelins if possible. Also skills like FA aren't more helpful against PI's/cold immune mosnters.

Thanks for any help.

In 1 player games, magic arrow kills PI quite well so it's a good choice actually. And it also costs little mana so you have no manaleech problems. The full damage of the skill also depends on your bow damage.

A Harmony RW bow would be your answer. You can kill PIs with strafe with that bow. Just make sure to make it in a -10 speed bow.

I used a harmony bow in a +1 matriarchal bow and found MA killed ghosts faster than strafe which I had maxed. And I only had a few points in MA.

And don't forget you don't need arrows to use MA.
With a really fast bow it's "I"m out of arrows again" more than I like.

i could suggest cold arrow or fire arrow, as those convert to elemental dmg at twice the rate of magic arrow

A trick that i use to kill PI's is quite simple

level one lightning bolt + titans on switch

now if they are light immune too, bring in mr. merc with reaper's toll
