I think your supposed to put like 10-15 at most in each of the 3 dodging skills, and crit strike so it's at least 50%

[MadCowBoy]

I don't think the builds are great tho!
If ur a guided arrowszon,I suggest:
Guided arrows-20
Dodge-20
Penetrate-20
Avoid-20
Rest are up to u~
(EVADE is a garbage,u don't have to run around,so 1 is enough,rest in critical if I were u~)
I would suggest Highlord's for ammy,but cat's eye is fine too~Dracul's is the best gloves for an amazon~Actually,I don't really understand those numbers,what are those?The bow is the greatest~

[Hurly91]

rofl.........

ok.......1st

Cat's Eye > Highlord

2nd...........do not put 1 point or more into penetrate......it gives ATTACK RATING
Since Guided Arrow is GUIDED............you don't need AR


Theses numbers are items........

an armor socketed with 4jewels ( giving 40enhanced damage and 15increased attack speed each jewel ) = 16060 ( 160ed 60ias )
same but in a helm with 3 jewels = 12045 ( 120ed 45ias )

a windforce found in patch 1.08 with one of theses jewels in it........ = 08 4015wf

I know what you mean Hurly. Bowzons have crappy resist and life, so points in dex is the best.

Character Amazon
Weapon Hydra Bow / Hydrabogen
Skill Standard
IAS Frames per attack Attacks per second
0 % 15 1.6
5 % 14 1.7
11 % 13 1.9
22 % 12 2
35 % 11 2.2
56 % 10 2.5
89 % 9 2.7
147 % 8 3.1
292 % 7 3.5

Your gear IAS
Helm = 45%
Armor = 60%
Weapon = 35%
Cats = 20%
Gloves = 20%
Sum = 180%

As you can see you are way from getting 292% only avible if you cheat) and you have 33% IAS more than you need.
If i where you i would use:

Helm:
120/45
Weapon:
WF 40/15
Armor:
160/60 (prefered with life but they are expensive)
Gloves:
Draculas (open wounds)
Belt:
Verdungos might be a good choice, but a Nosferatu's Coil will add slow target wich would be better than dmg reduce. Renember you will die by 1 hit anyway. Rely on dodging skills.
Boots:
Gore Rider (great mods)
Amulet:
Highlords (best you can get because of its mods)
Cats Amulet (have it in stash, and use it when you face very fast running characters)
Rings:
Use the rings you showed. (I like the spiral )


As for skillers, 10 passive skillers might be good, but you might aswell use 3/20/20 or 290`s if you can affort it.

Skills:
20 Guided arrow (0 atr needed )
55% dodge (60% if you got skillers)
65% avoid (70% if you got skillers)
50-55% evade (when you run from people, evade is the way you dodge. very usefull, but be aware of evade lock)
1 in slow missile
Rest into Critical strike

Just test out in hero editor to find the exact skill you need to reach the % with eqipment.

Enought strenght for eqipment, and pull everything else into dex.

[Kingsrookie]

ye only 10 into dodge and avoid since you are still when you shoot and other bowazons or sorcs will hit aouto and you got pierce for the auto up to four hit? didnt see taht part. also crit strike. and one point slow missile. and get dex as high as possible

[Hurly91]

Hmmm.........Ok.......

Also, I got 1bow gc and 1passive gc..........
Leftovers, are psn charms........ :) ( 100's and 25X's pdsc's )


EDIT: I think that Cat's Eye > Highlords.......

It gives FRW / DEX ( dmg ) / defense / defense vs missile........wich is all good

anyways, here is what I'll do:

08 4015 wf
16060
12045
cats eye
draculs
gore riders
nosferatu
raven spiral
raven frost
no need of cta since I don't put vita and all my life is dodging skills........

max guidedarrow
55-60% into all dodges
1valkyrie
leftovers critical strike



that's fine???:

[Doom]

[Hurly91]

[Doom]

That sux man i have a perfect 12045 40 life and a 95 low str 16060 to trade lol

[[The Reaper]]

After about lvl 10 the % of dodging lowers alot, that's why you wouldn't put much on it.

[A|fzZz]

And why use rspiral?
Not pvm...
And dun bother about res...Bow zons res are like zealot's

[Hurly91]

If I don't use rspiral on other finger, what do I use???

Because I got 2 spares rspirals so........lol.........
