I never finish the game last time where I got to "part three" with all the swamps and stuff, the one after the desert world.

anyways I decide to start all over again and this time with Amazon (i tried Paladin and Barbarian, got both to level 30, I say Paladin was more fun). So... how should I 'pump' my Amazon with? which attributes and skills should I focus on?

What type of Amazon are you aiming for? A bowazon or javazon?

Pump your passive skills - and just sit on several skills so that way you can blast your way through the jav skill tree to get lightning fury and also get your valkerie. Decoy is nice to have too.

A level 38 lightning fury is impressive to say the least. I beat hardcore hell difficulty using my lighting fury amazon.

Dexterity, dexterity, dexterity. Can't have enough. :) For Bowazon skills, Guided Arrow, Multi-Shot, and Valkyrie are good ones to go with. I've never played a Javazon so I can't really comment on that. Here's a Bowazon strategy guide that's pretty informative. Also here's more general Amazon info.

In ActIII multi-shot is pretty handy for wasting those big crowds of fast little dudes that run up and swarm you. Though multi-shot is handy in any act for clearing crowds. Guided Arrow is great for lightning enchanted bosses and other tough guys. Always hits and it does more damage than a standard arrow. Valkyrie is handy as a wall between you and the monsters. You just stand back and pick them off while they all go for the Valkyrie instead of you.

I think my Bowazon is about lvl44 or so.

I believe I would go for Bowazon, coz when I play Paladin/Barbarian I see arrows laying everywhere while those javalins are quite rare by comparison.


thx guys.

I believe you can purchase refills of Javelins and other types of throwable weapons, only if you're using the LOD expansion though.

I may be wrong, but I believe that when you repair your equipment, you replenish the number of javelins because the javelins have a quantity instead of a durability.

You're right, getting the weapon repaired does it. Just tested. :)
