Hi ppl, since i have an almost perfect giant skull (35 str, 2 socks) and a perfect buriza (200% ed)

I already own 3 amazons which is the second char i love best right after my (only one this time) beloved mixed martial trap assass. As always, only hc ladder, playing for fun but with effectiveness ( a lil :p)

I was thinking of a STRAFE ama , buriza provides 100% pierce which saves roughly +-15 points (i never use razortail as FOR ME (i dont say its the right choice, but for me it is) its a no go in hc, i use tg for java or hybrid or soe or dungo for pure bowa).

I already have the chessy java with eth titans, infinity, cta and such, ok it works fine, ok its boring as hell.
I have my faith cta ama which i love a lot
I have my hybrid wf + eth titans which i absolutely love above , its the one i play the most : very rich gameplay , dynamic, and glass canon as i cant use cta.

Strafe is a skill that i love, a lot, it locks you in place, but if you have strafe you do have multiple shot as well, so you can use them both depending the situation.

Strafe last bp :
- bow : 5/3/3/3 6.94
- Crossbow : 7/3/3/4 5.2

I was thinking, with Loh (bis for me in pvm hc) and hl, you already got last bp on strafe, that leaves you with 3 slots for pure ed / max or whatever jews (2 in giant skulls, 1 in buriza).

Giant skull provide KB and lil crushing blow, and the str needed to wear Colossus crossbow.

Upped buriza does hell of dmg : very high min dmg, extremly high max dmg. the average really surpass wf by a long margin (dont get me wrong, i love wf a lot, just buriza inspires me and i want to use it, and NOT on a damn feral drood).

Combined with strafe, and might/pride , or whatever merc, is ti really such a bad choice ? cta on switch will allow to sink all stats in dexterity, the raw dmg will be so huge, i think it can be viable, am i wrong ?

Important : in dont play for the most effectiv build , in this case, the freaking boring tp java with infinity is unbeatable on amazon, i know and own this one, but i dont even play her, should better off trade all her stuff, shes so boring.
My hybrid is slower, but smoother, i dont rely on merc, i dont tp (and i found best things along way, never on boss so in the end i drop more with her) but she is a blast, switching from bow to javelin depending situation is crazy fun and effective, i dont take much more to clear cs or baal than my java, and i have 4000% more fun, pure bow is also way more fun, thats why i play my faith way more than my java.

So, is giant skull upped bubu viable in your opinion ? if no, why ?

if u wanna use buriza u have to drag it and put into your weapon slot, if u got req's then u will equip it
i have buriza armor but that's other story

its not offensive, i promise

in serious - i like when u trying optimize amazon with buriza to make it viable, im pretty sure it will never beat wf/faith but can be so much fun
if u rly got 3 open slots (1 weapon, 2 helm) then its cool to try atma's if you haven't done it yet

atma can be game changer esp with strafe

dont compare your new brand builid to cookie cutter, do it and have fun :)

Well, i didnt think about atma's, could be nice to amp the dmg , but 5% is scary, i guess its 5% each time the arrow hit, so pierce could help here. Its sacrifying a lot to switch from hl to atma, but worth a try ! thanks for the hint !
