#DIABLO 2 AMAZON SKILL TREE PATCH#

While Freezing Arrow is not generally the main star of a BowazonвЂ™s skill tree, the reason is not that Freezing Arrow itself is a weak skill. Not so for the Hybrid Amazon.Д«y spending half of her skill points in the Bow & Crossbow tree, the Hybrid Amazon acquires a fairly beefed up Freezing Arrow to eliminate any Lightning Immunes she encounters while, vice versa, her Javelins handle any Cold immunes that bar her way. Then, the player has to cross their fingers that they find some powerful Javelins to use as a melee weapon, because the character simply has no option other than to close into melee and poke away at Lightning immune enemies with physical damage. Under normal circumstances, this forces the player to spec heavily into the passive tree to improve their defences ( Dodge/ Avoid/ Evade + high level Valkyrie) and damage ( Penetrate, Critical Strike). The issue a Javazon usually suffers from is the fact that both these excellent skills deal lightning damage, making Lighting Immunes a rather sizeable headache once the player reaches Hell difficulty. Charged Strike then serves as a lethal single-target option, particularly suitable for Act Boss killing. Lightning Fury is undeniably the best aspect of the Javelin tree and allows you to deliver electrical mayhem into enemy formations from afar, wiping out entire screens with just a few throws. The choice of Lightning Fury is a clear one. Two powerful elemental attacks that, when properly supported through gear and skill synergies, deliver hefty amounts of damage from afar, while complementing each other nicely when it comes to overcoming monster elemental immunities on Hell difficulty. The core of the build revolves around two skills in particular: Lightning Fury and Freezing Arrow.

This guide was written and tested for an untwinked, self-found playthrough across all difficulties using patch 1.14d. She uses her weapons not as a direct source of damage, but as a delivery mechanism for powerful вЂњspellвЂќ effects, eliminating many of the problems a focused build would suffer from, while simultaneously allowing for much safer playstyle, less restrictive attribute allocation and easier gearing process. The Hybrid Amazon combines the best aspects of the Bow & Crossbow and Javelin & Spear trees to create a versatile, undemanding and powerful вЂњcasterвЂќ build that circumvents these shortcomings and opens up a lot more possibilities than a focused Amazon build would. It wasnвЂ™t until after building a Bowazon and a Javazon and taking them through the Hell difficulty that I realised how many shortcomings each of the builds has and how limiting the focus on a single weapon type is. Then, what extra points she has, she invests into her supporting passive tree and thatвЂ™s the build. That was always the way I thought about the Amazon a class that, really, only has a single skill tree to use per build: either Bows or Javelins, each exclusive to one another. Why, after all, invest into Bow skills you cannot use when wielding a Javelin? What if you spec into both and only find powerful javelins but no good bows wouldnвЂ™t half of the build suddenly become useless? Why pick skills from two trees that have no direct synergies between each other, when you can instead focus heavily on one tree and get the most out of it in return? It simply wouldnвЂ™t make sense to make a hybrid, right? R-right? Razortail has pierce, and a small dex bonus, but thundergods has stat bonuses, lightning absorb, +3 to lightning fury and lightning strike, and most importantly, a name that fits the build (thundergod sounds good with a lightning java).It makes perfect sense when building an Amazon to focus on either her Bow & Crossbow Skills or her Javelin & Spear Skills. The advantage of lightning bolt is that it converts your physical damage to lightning damage, but it does that at lvl 1 too, so I think it should be maxed last (or actually it can't be maxed, you'll need to put spare points into it)ДЄnd I also have a hard time deciding between thundergods and razortail. After that maybe power strike since the lower mana cost can help you if you're not using insight (you should use infinity).

I also suggest you prebuff your valk, since it rarely dies.ДЄlso, I suggest you max charged strike and lightning fury at the same time, and when both are maxed, max lightning strike. Decoy, dodging skills and slow missiles are all great skills.

It has no prerequisistes (well it has, but you would get those anyway so you still only need 1 point). or, in your post.ДЄnyway, Valk should be obtained. You obviously haven't been to hell, if you haven't experienced lightning immunes.ДЄnd also, the most common definition of a noob is bad grammar. Click to expand.Lol, this was a bit fun to read, watching a noob calling others noobs.
