Hmm maybe i'm wrong. Not sure as of when they are ok. I had a bowa in .09 and she ruled. In 1.10 and later, bowas sucked again.
Amazons were the weakest characters in 1.00. As for bows, ED% was bugged, so they did very litte damage. AoE spells like Immolation or Freezing Arrow did not work with Pierce. As for javelins, the situation is the same as today: throwing weapons can not spawn as magic/rare/set/unique. Lightning Fury had a a different graphics before 1.07, it was flashy as fuck, making you blind in the long term. So Amazons are definitely no-go.
The following builds are capable to do P8 with a good killing speed:
- Whirlwind barb equipped with a nice 2h weapon and Iceblink armor for freezing every moster. With high amount of life leech, he can manage IM curse as well (I mean he cant die instantly from one WW, and OKs recast the curses very fast anyway).
- Thorns paladin with Conversion - epic and funny build, but a bit more complicated as you need to use a secondary skill for killing the ranged mobs. Also you need to watch out for the aura, because when monsters convert back, they retain their Thorns aura for a few seconds.
- Sorc with maxed Static and any good AoE skill for finishing the mobs.
- IM BG CE nec, obviously.
