yes, i try.learnt a lot from the previous runs, but it is not my style to play the safest way.:)
I'm playing only SP WT now, and played on Hell, couple of months ago, and forgot that some of the monsters, especially with uniqs could hit how hard.

I have started this, but it seemed that somehow enable Ultra HC mode.
Got my forst boots on lvl7 !!!!!!!!
Now i'm lvl8 and haven't got any rare.

Here is the start:

Started to hit Blood Raven, but it seemed she didn't want to fight, just running around and summon and summon.

Needed almost 15 minutes to kill (i couldn't hit her due to constantly movement, and couldn't stuck any of the corner.....)
Drop is awesome shit:P

What route are you going with this Bow Amazon?
Strafe, Multiple Shot, Guided Arrow, Freezing Arrow or a combination?
Are you going to use the Valk?
Are you going full dex or hybrid vita/dex?

Wish you luck, my opinion is hybrid vita/dex (150-200 maximum hard vitality and rest dex), I am also a Freezing Arrow buff, but mix it with Valk and another bow skill.

Are you going for a secondary bow skill since you only need to max out FA with 1 synergy?
You have option for Strafe or Multi-shot as a secondary skill, or rely on your Valk and increase
Decoy to give valk more life.

Note: +cold damage items small charms increase freeze length, a dual mod cold damage small charm gives additional freeze length per second.
Also remember, there are monsters that have 0 chill effect, meaning they can not be slowed or frozen, like souls in Hell, they are not immune
to cold, but, they have 0 chill effect.

I prefer strafe over multi, but, that is just me... goodluck once again.

Last time the secondary was strafe, but found very weak compared to freezing arrow.

But it seems that there is no other choise. Fire skills are weak without synergies, and i dont like multishot..:)

I did multishot with FA and it was pretty good. Also maxed GA for bosses and champs. Just be cautious if you use strafe, you can get killed while being in strafe lock, especially when Diablo does his storm casts.

I use strafe with FA and ignore GA with my amazons. Yes strafe-lock can be annoying when it is not used correctly, it also comes in handy vs main (or single) bosses as well.
But, it is all about preference and personal game play.
