Making a bowa, need advice
Hey all, basically I quit about 2 years ago and once again I feel the call of Diablo, so I'm back. Amazon is the only char that I've never made before, so decided that it's time to give it a go. I just going to be casually PvM'ing with this char, so you can ignore the lack of PvP perspectives.
I want to make a Bowzon, so I had a look through some of the threads in this forum and Rylix's guide appealed to me the most. I put it together in Hero Editor, but I've still got some issues.
First of all, the 2 weaknesses of that build:
a) Kills bosses very slowly, due to lack of CB%. So I went with gores for a bit, which meant losing 10 stats (to make up for STR) and quite a bit of damage from Travs. In the end, it did not look like a good bargain, due to the effect of diminishing returns on ranged CB%, so I went back to Travs.
b) My gear choice had no Knockback, but that was not a major issue.
This is what I am planning to use. Cost is not a problem since I still have all my FG.
Helm: M'avina's 15% IAS +xx jewel, will switch once I get a nice 3os helm for 15%/40%s
Chest: Forti AP
Bow: Faith GMB
Belt: Nosferatu
Rings: Raven + rare dual leech
Gloves: Laying of Hands
Boots: Wartravs
Neck: Cat's eye
So basically, I hit the 95% IAS breakpoint with lvl 13+ Fana from Faith. FHR% is not a problem since this is for PvE.
1) What should I have on switch? From playing around in Hero Editor, I felt like CTA will not add that much since I hardly ever got hit.
2) Skill distribution? I decided to leave out Strafe, go ~14 skills in Multi Shot and max GA for single target and max Magic Arrow. 1 in all passives, where to invest the rest? I still have loads of points left. I was thinking about investing in passives while they still give me 2% per skillup.
Thanks
