This topic is for the Amazons!

Anyone started 2.5 ladder with Amazon either Javzon or Bowzon?

I started with Sunder Javzon and then moved onto the Frostmaiden and finally back to my OG Telebowa spec.

If you have any questions regarding Amazon, feel free to ask here. I get PM all the time about it, so it's better to lay it all here so others can see too.

Here's my current work in progress Hybrid Telebowa. It's rocking 68FCR on bowside for quick P1 runs.

I changed to Atma ammy and Razortail for P8 runs.



Here's my 2.5 Ladder Sunder Javzon topic. This is the best Javzon spec in my opinion now with the Sunders.

Sancturary aura from Lawbringer is nice in chaos but I think overall on p1 pride+might can be still better.
Also I think keeping 68fcr on p8 terror could be better option than razon+atma.
Why not spirit on swap (99fcr)?

you don't use phys sunder on bowazon?
maybe for Wk2 and 3 and throne can be useful vs those winged witches (large groups of phys immunes)

My reasoning was more in the cleansing aura from Plague. Decriptify gets removed so quick with it on. So that felt great in P1 and even in P8.

Pride works very well too of course, that's been proven before.

Not really. It's only great for PI elites in P8 when amp proc on them and work 100% effectiveness.

Even then we have 1 point wonder Magic arrow so I don't think it's worth 1 grand charm slot. Need to play more to see.

Sunder without amp is definitely useless yes. Just magic arrow them is better.

Below is the first P8 run I did with her. Now she got some better charms!

All she needs is a better roll on that Faith but maybe later when runes fall more. It works for now haha

40 points on freezing and ice.

Then 1 on passive and dump the rest on charged strike with infinity merc would be a good elemental hybrid spec but still too small of aoe for freezing arrow :(

you can surely run gheed when running cow. 1 skiller doesn't mean much to javzon. It rekts easy.

Yeah I was really just thinking of it from the perspective is mf hurting me finding bases (and really it’s just a gheeds). But everytime I see a blue archon or blue dusk shroud it crosses my mind.

Im running it and it’s likely the better option… just an internal debate I’ve been having.
