for belt if you want IAS you can get Nosferatu's Coil which offers better defence and gives you life leech, +15 str, slow target (not sure if this works in pvp)

for glove you are better off finding a rare +2 crossbow/passive /w ias + str/dex knokback if you ever decided to use other bow with no kb

I would suggest +2 passive skill rather than bow since it'll up your A/D/E and your critical, penetrate and pierce which are important in pvp. the bow skill are not really needed since the dmg increase is really insignificant IMHO

for boot I like waterwalks for the +str and vit and dex bonuses. This allow you to add more to dex/vit instread of str so all in all will benefit you.

and I'd put 10 in to MS than maxing strafe Strafe. For PVP you do not want to be locked in to a position for a long time. I think Valk deserves 1 pt if this is a true PvP amazon and just rely on your merc for leveling.

not sure how beneficial in penetrate since guided arrow will always hit and pierce is kinda uselss since ..you are pvp ..so there is only 1 person to pierce. I'd dump a lot more in critical so you are not as dependent on CB, OW, DS (thus limitnig your eqp). I'd also suggest putting a lot more in to A/D/E (I'd prefer more in A/D) myself rather than Evade.

Also consider cats eye as an alternative :)

slows target works in pvp thats why in league duells a golem is not allowed for nec (slow target 5x)

and criticail strike mostly 5 points is enough more is wase of skills...

all youre skills go in:
max multi
max GA
lvl 5 criticail strike
lvl 10 penetrate (for multi)
lvl 1 strafe (for pvm and leeching a bit while dueling:p)
lvl 1 frost arrow (i prefer this for short range duells)
lvl 10-15 D/A/E (this is important to have in pvp)
lvl valkyrie (tank)

gear:
forti archon or dusk (dusk is best melee armor there is~~)
faith gmb
2* raven 20/24x
nosferatu
crafted KB gloves with 20 ias
WT
hihglords
mav diadem with 15 ias jool or a 11x/45 helm

this is ultimate pvp char i duelled with this build

rgzzz

Well, imho the waste of skill points is if you DONT max critical strike...
The usual PvP bowama setup doesnot give you many +skill points:

Mavina helm+15% IAS jewel: no +skill point
Fortitude armor: no +skill point
Cats eye: no +skill point
Ravenfrost + Ravenfrost (Wisp proj.): no +skill point
Gloves with 20% IAS and KB: well, you can get +2 passive skills here - I never seen any, but is possible.
Faith GMB: +2 skills.
Nosferatu belt: no +skill point
so if you put only 5 points in critical strike, you get an other 2 (max 4) skill points from items. Which means you have most likely 49 (max 54)% chance to do double damage and its just not enuf.

Yes, you can just fill up your inventory with p&m gcs, but i never use more than 3 of them because there are so many better options here.

Also I always max penetrate, its useful not just with multishot (if you have Faith you have very high AR anyway), but what about Jab??? If you duelled with your ultimate PvP bowazon, you should know that Jab is a must have skill. But what for if you cant hit anyone with it due to low AR???

Kiras Guardian (sheal)
Highlord
Wartravellers (Gores ??)
2 x Ravenfrosts
Goldwrap
Laying of Hands (dont know here)
5 x passive&magic skillers with dex

Stats
Str - enough for gear
Dex - rest
Vit - about 100
Enrg - 0

Please give me some hints
20- Strafe (Big no-no) multishot is what you will be using for leveling.
MultiShot- 10
GA- 20
D/A/E enough to make it 50/50/50 or 50/60/50.
20 penetrate for multishot
pierce is useless in pvp-1 here for pvm.
Valk is useless for PvP so dont use it.
I think around 10 crit should do the trick if you use highlords and gores.

Stats are good.

Gear
Fortitude archon (legit self found runes and armor :) ) - Good
Windforce (sheal) - Good
Kiras Guardian (sheal) - Ok but i think its kinda useless you really need ed/ias here.
Highlords - Good
Wartravellers (Gores ??) - Use Gores
2 x Ravenfrosts - Good
Goldwrap - Use Nosferatus or Verdungos
Laying of Hands (dont know here) - If you can afford 2 passive or bow gloves with ias then get lavagouts for the enchant.
5 x passive&magic skillers with dex - Ok but you should use max damage charms with either dex fhr or frw

Only got 90 ias and kiras is really useless for zons in pvp so i think going with a good ed/ias should make it better. However even going with that only gives you 135 ias which doesn't cut the 147ias bp. So i would suggest trying your hardest to get a faith bow or being satisfied with a slower attack.
