More or less close or simular builds have been posted before. However i decide to show you the 2 builds i like the best. They are very strong for amazons!
And very flexible.
But they are very exspensive, and works best on eu because of bug belt. (the hybzon is highly usable on other realms as well, but then you need a faster bow)
The hybridzon is the best for tvt, although the tele3zon do good as well. Both are excellent for 1v1 and pubs!
The psn and hybrid functions of them, makes them very strong vs any kind of chars normal amas can't really touch, like forexample necromancer and paladins.
So i start with the hybridzon, for me a bowa always have 1 to fury as well, and i dont call that a hybrid. The hybridzon for me must be good at at least 2 types of attacks.
I think CS zons need teleport and descent fcr to be any good! And the psn works best together with bow as second element.
Gel87's Hybrid ama:
Gear:
- Wep 1: Faith of Ice GMB + Arrows (you can keep an FOI diamond bow for changing up some eq, but its not needed)
- Wep 2: Rare Matri Javs 2/2/20+ias/450ed/eth/self repl/adds (lower ed is fine as well), Eth upped titans can work if u 40ed/15ias jool ur Stormshield + Swordback hold shield.
- Shields: Stormshield(40/15ias if titans, else -15req/9dex/30ed/add forexample 10@) - 2x upped swordbackhold for 50% ow!(ias or other depending on javas ias) U need 95ias for break.
- Belt: Bug Belt, for other realms Noseferatus
- Boots: War Travellers - Rare with 30frw, dex or str, 3 x resists, other adds like plr is nice(but remember 95str requirement for bugging frw) - Upped infernoes/Hots - U can keep sands for vs psn necs.
- Amulet: Highlord - 2ama/10frw/50+++ life/20@(only keep such ammu if u got FOI diamond and 40 ias in javs) - cats(not really needed) - HL 08 for showoff, to boost frw forexample with Hots.
- Ring 1: Raven - soj/bk - rare stack with nice adds
- Ring 2: Wisp - Raven - Rare stack/dmg ring - Dwarf - Carrions - bk
- Armor: Fortitude AP, for other realms with no BugBelt i would go FoC. U can keep a FoC for more stack if place in stash.
- Helmet: 2ama, 30frw, 25-30str, 15-20dex, 15-20@, socet 2 x 40ed/15ias - If u can afford you can keep other circles with simular stats, either wiht base ed, or more res(then socet 15ias/30cr)
- Gloves: 2java, 20ias, KB, 15dex, 15str, attackers takes dmg of 7(lowers stats ok)
Charms:
- Torch 20/20/25 most optimal ofc, the fire stuns nice and dmg some.
- Annie 20/20 most optimal ofc
- 17 x 3/20/20 (cheaper none perf works as well)
- 20 x 3/20/5frw (cheaper none perf works as well)
Notes on charms:
(if u find urself in mana problems you could use a mana scs or two with life/mana)
(If u want more frw scs, that is good as well)
(a couple of 20/5 or other stacks should be stashed, for when wearing pheonix, or vs java/vt/foh/cold)
Cube(put in invent for 1v1 or pubs):
- Cta 6/6
- Demon limb
- Mara
- SOJ
- BK
Stashed items:
- A couple of stack scs (20/11cr, & some 20/5@)
- 2 x upped Swordback hold(ias/adds if no ias in javs, else -15/adds)
- FoC (optional) On eu this one is not very much needed in my opinion
- Amu 2/10frw/20@/high life/dex/single res like cold(only needed if got a faster bow stashed as well)
- Gloves 2java, 20ias, 15str, 30cr, KB (can be nice to keep for vs cold), a light one can be good vs vt/foh/java
- Rare frw, 3resi, adds boots. (95str req is very nice for str bug)
- Infernoes/Hotspurs
- Phoenix 400 (nice for heavy hitting dmg and abs)
- HL 08(only exspensive to boost frw, u must also have a faster bow stashed for this) Cats is the cheaper version, who also adds ias. Highly usefull and cheap as fuck.
- Titans(if use rare mainly, you can run out of quanties)
- Secondary raven, 1 dwarf, carrions, rare(stack or min/max dmg or both)
- Secondary circlet (more dmg or life for when u dont need res, or more stacked res for vs cold) (ur helm is already great, so putting extra fgs here is just if really wanna be the best and have an edge in any combat)
- (i dont find dracs/gelglaws/gaze 08 etc so effective for this build, but if u find it usefull just check ur stash place)
- a good cold stack jmod can come in handy as well: forexample on eu nl we got: 19ed, 4dex, 10@ 40cr. 4 of those and u got a 160 cr shield with other nice adds.
Stats (all stats are with this eq: Helm: 2/30frw/30str/20dex/20@/2soc, wisp, raven, wts, stormshield 30/9dex/-15/10, 15/15 gloves, hl, bug belt, forti AP)
Str: 3 if 30str in circ, 15 bb, 15 gloves. More if not. Gives u a str of 133 to wear -15req stormshield
Dex: 230+ with gear i use, just check that u have full block with 2 x upped swordbackhold.(depends on jool etc also)
Vita: Rest
Mana: None
- Notes about strengt: 3 if u wanna use -15 req in SS, then u must wear titans when wearing hots or 3resi(u still shot rather fast). If you dont have -15 req in storm, then u should use a ring with 20str when wearing hots/rare. There are rare 3resi boots with almost 20 str also. Storm tracks got 17 or so.
- Notes on dex: Make sure u got MB with 2 x upped swordback hold.
- Notes on vita: Aim for 2k - 2,1+k life without bo.
Skilling:
20 plague
20 psn jav
1 fury
1 jab
1 valk
5-10 multi
4-5 all dodges
15-20 critic
1 penetrate
1 pierce
20 ga
0 strafe! xD
If rather low level then go down a little on dodges or critic. keep critic above 70, which comes like after 1 point. 74 is max u get. So how many skills u wanna invest depends on level or how many u wanna in multi/dodge.
Now, how does it do:
With perf of the listed eq this is stats:
100% chance to pierce
FRW: 155 (you can go higher with cats or more frw scs, test 155 first) 100scs, 30circ, 25wts)
%DR: 20 on bow side / 55 on stormshield side
Life: 2,1k
Resists with anya on bow side(faith 15@): 80 all, 117LR. (80lr/75/75/75)
Abs: 20% light - 20% cold
Cannot be frozen
FCR: 25(nice for not spending all day summoning things)
FHR: 0
All dmg are listed without enchant
GA dmg with: 1k-5,1k
Multi dmg: 650-3,3k
Plague dmg: 2,2-4,2k psy + 36,6k psn over 16,6 secs (39k with 1 bk)
Psn javelin: 2,2-4,2k psy + 45k psn over 76 secs
Fury: 2,2-4,2k psy (will be around half with titans)
Bolt: 3,4k
General:
Flash helmet and bug belt, maby even gloves for str bug. (makes the frw from boots desync) Ur ias can also be a bit desynced. Fullbugged.
The plague works as ur defender, and those who fucks with your defender often pay with theire life.
Why forti instead of FoC(the 5max LR is godly)
Why so high frw(outrun enemies, position urself, outruns stuff like wirl if high enought)
If MB chars(focus more on bolt rather than fury, it really depends on abs and such as well)
Keep decoy and valk up for confuse and defense
Wsg to counter stun and desync.
Most duels will be way easier with this rather than a normal bowa.
Take care that casting plague has a little bit slow animation, so watch out to not get cought meanwhile casting it. It also cannot be casted right after casting valkyrie.
Plagues goes invisible if casted long enought from enemies. People tele/run into your invi plagues then.
When wearing swordback holds shield, multi/ga a couple and switch to shield for switchbug. This will make ur bow side have 50% chance to open wounds. The same 400% ed from pheonix is also "switchbuggable)
Open skill/stat trees to shot longer.
Cast oak sage or heart of the wolverin for adding life or dmg. Hearth of the wolvering is usually best in tvt as other keeps oaks.
Tactics:
Vs nec: Plague tactical(where u think he will tele and on urself or where u gonna walk), bolt/fury him away, multi away summons and for dmg and ga when u got the chance. Always be on the move, dont move in a stright line when he shots at you. A curve works wonders. Mix up attacks. Swap Raven with BK/SOJ and swap stormshield with swordback hold. 1 plague and most nec are 1 life. Make it go faster with others attack and ow meanwhile you wsg as fuck. If you expect a jump plague once north, and spam fury/bolt north. This will stun him and KB him into plague. Then flee meanwhile stunning with attacks. - Hard duel, but easier for this than with a normal bowa.
Vs Baba: use listed eq: Plague tactical(urself, ur path and where u think he land), stun as much as possible with a mix off attacks meanwhile moving. Keep as high frw as possible, with enought frw u will usually not get hit by wirl, as the time it takes to excecute teleport + wirl on feks. a namelock ur actually outrunning it and dont get hit. - Medium/Hard Duel.
Vs dudu:Play as an normal bowa(multi/fury away summons, ga if the opportunity comes, run meanwhile mixing up ur attacks, but cast plagues tactical(urself, ur path and where u think he land) - Easy/Medium Duel.
Vs assa: Play as a normal bowa, but place tactical plagues. With high frw you outruns most wirls from ghost/hybs such that they dont hit. Plague tactical, stun meanwhile fleeing. The ones that gets to close usually pays with theire life thanks to plauge, and ur awsome at ranges as well. - Easy/Medium
Vs Pala: Keep stack vs conv if they got foh dmg, play as normal bowa vs them but use plague. Plague is awsome vs paladongs of any type. It really brings them down fast. use blackhorns vs hammers/foher, but storm vs smiters/vts. Mix up your attack and move good meanwhile and you win them pretty easy. - Easy/medium
Vs bowa: Play as a bowa, may the best one win. If close duels and if you know how to move ga is actually better than fury. Use bow side as much as possible. If ur able to land a plague u have usually wonned, but its hard to land them. So a poison javelin can be ur friend here. If duels get really close u can often land a plague, or cast one invisible and let enemy walk into it. - Medium/hard(skills will win here)
Vs Java: Javalins are very much stunnable! They will have huge problems tele onto you. Multi first then ga as fuck, wsg and fury/bolt. Protect urself with plagues and they go down fast. Use swordback holds for ow, pheonix if u wanna bm abs. Keep enought stack. If ur forti starts casting chilling armor ur stun is so high u will win in 90% of ocations. - Easy/Medium.
Vs other ama hybrids: Same as vs the others, just avoid their psn dmg.
TVT:
Cast tactical plagues
Lure/KB enemies into them
Spam a couple of ranged poison javs (for more hit accurate)
Play as a normal bowa else.
Tel3zon:
Gear:
Note: You cannot add a single point into str if u wanna fullbug your ama with Scarab if ur level 98 or 99. (this ama should be high level for best outcome) This build is best suited for eu. Ur res/dr is very low on main eq with this build on other realms.
- Armor: Eni Scarab // EoD or EoB scarab(i come back to which one)
- Belt: Bug belt // Noseferatus or arach(arach belt should be combined with highlord)
- Amulet: 2ama, 20fcr, 20+ str(or life if u have str in helm), 20@ // for other realms an highlord in comination with arach is highly usefull. You should than have the str in helmet.
- Gloves: 2java, 20ias, 15str, 15dex, atd 7 (lower stats works as well, you actually dont need the str in some eu builds and can stack a res instead) // Trang ouls can be used with stormshield for a little fcr.
- Helm: 2ama, 20fcr, 30frw, 15-20@, life/dex/enhanced dmg/str, 2 soc(80ed/30ias) You want str if on other realms and wearing arach/hl combi. // I also keep a griffon 15ias/15@.
- Bow: Faith Matriarcial Bow + Arrows
- Wepons: 6/40 and 2/2/40/enhanced dmg Matri-javs. Perfect would ofc be 4xxed and eth self repl. Even 5%amp-max/min dmg can spawn. Increase stack is also nice add. Myself i use none eth 2/2/40/319ed none eth.
- Boots: War Travellers // 30frw, 3resi, adds // Some would maby want to keep a pair of infernoes(i dont)
- Shields: SoP Monarch(if want a cheap one just get one with 28+fcr or use a normal spirit :S), Stormshield 15ias/ED or RES, Jmod +15/-15/15ias/15@
- Ring1: Raven/soj/bk
- Ring2: Wisp/Rare one with massive res+ nice adds(nice adds are min/max, life, mana, dex)/bk/soj (some would prefer a dwarf as well)
Notes about gear:
- You want 95str before placing EoD/EoB/Eni scarab. How you obtain this depends a lot on realm and what rares you can get your hand on.
So: Ur base is 20, u can say 60 after torch + annie. Then u need 35 more. Bug belt gives 15, gloves can give 15. This is 5 to little(u dont wanna stat any because no str bug then). So you need a source from either ammu or circ. And if u wanna be wearing Trang Ouls that sorc must be at least 20str. If you dont have bug belt, u need a total of 35str from gloves + ammu, meaning you cannot wear trangs ever.
- Eni is used for when you want dr and not res/fhr. You probarly dont have space for both EoD and EoB. Which to keep depends. If u want ur main gear to wield as many dmg scs as possible you go with EoB, if you want to add 20fhr to stormshield eq or wanna keep a 5/5 or 10fhr boots for an 86fhr eq you go for EoD.
- Myself i dont have any fire abs boots, i just keep to SoP side vs fb'ers. I actually dont have a dwarf either.
- If you have a griffon for pure dmg adds(like if u manual/skillbug fc with merc in pubs, or in tank duels like vs baba), thats why storm and jmod is socet with 1 ias jool.
- On other realms your resists can be a pain in the ass to obtain, then u might want to soc helmet with 1 or 2 15ias/15@.
Charms:
There are a lot of options here as well, your stash space can make u highly flexible in either charms or eq. You dont have room for everthing.
- Torch 20/20/25 is best possible(i would rather have high res than high stats in torch)
- Annie 20/20 is best possible(i would rather have high res than high stats in annie)
- Skillers: 7-9 java lifers.
- have 10 x 20/5@(then swap for dmg with 3/20/20 or lower from stash, you should keep 7-10 dmg scs stashed for theese spots)
- If 7 javas, then the best solutions for the 6 free spots are: Cube + 2 x 322 or 4 x 3/20/5frw + 2 x 3/20/20.
- My personal overall favourite is 7 java sks, 5 x 20/5, 4 x 5/3/20, 7 x 3/20/20.
Note about charms:
- Make sure u got relevant resists in all duels. Lets say you wear this: Bug belt(20@), EoB(30@), ammu 20@, helm 20@, torch annie 40@ and anyaquest 30@. That ends up at: 20+30+20+20+40+30 = 160. This can be ok for many duels, but in real duels you want to add: 4x20/5@ scs to get 80@. 1 more if u want 85fr. The 5 other if u want stack as well. 3 resi boots for more stack and rare ring for more stack. Vs blizz/foh u depends on your abs/dodge/and raw dmg to win. Oak to take foh hits etc.
- by cutting 1 skiller you normally loose like 200ish cs/bolt dmg and almost 2kish plague dmg. (this depends heavy on syntenergies put) If 7 poison jab its like 2k psn each skiller and on 5 poison jab its almost 1,3k ish each skiller.
Cube:
- cta 6/6/4
- demon limb 5/5 fire
- mara
- soj
- bk
Stashed eq(ill take the most important and biggest first)
- EoD or EoB
- 6/40 (if you wear 2/2/40/dmg javs)
- Stormshield 15ias-15@
- Griffon 15/15@
- 7 x 3/20/20(u have ur 10 x 20/5@ on u)
- 1 x high stack ring with nice adds(dex/res/life/mana etc/fcr)
- dwarf or secondary stack ring for light
- Trang ouls if u want a good fcr vs amas when wearing stormshield(max ias bader than crap fcr on this setup) For other realms you wont need this.
- Cube
- frw, 3resi, adds
- Jmod +15/-15/15ias/15@
(42 of 48 spots now used)
Other relevant you could put
- 2 java sks OR 2 x 3/20/20 + 4 x 5frw/3/20(depending on what you have equipped)
- If you want infernoes(swap out something for this)
Will be a pain in the ass to change sks for scs with full stash, u would have to drop something low values meanwhile, like Trangs.
Statting:
Str: 0 (if ur level makes ur enigma give 73 str u can stat 1 and still have fb, if 72 u can stat 2 etc)
Dex: 307 (this gives me ok psy dmg and 70% block with SoP. ill comment this below)
Vita: Rest
Energy: 0
Note:
- Why the hell 70% block? Because 0fbr sucks 52fhr better, its high enough, to many life lost to get 75. For me this works very good, ofc you can stat for 75% block, loosing pretty descent amount of life, and gaining some psy dmg.
- I almost never takes my sop off, i play with it in any setup. Sometimes i take on storm vs baba/ama and sometimes i take on jmod for pubs. But i usually just go with sop, even vs bowa/baba.
What is my best overall vs all eq?
Answere: 2/2/40/dmg javs, SoP, Foi MB, Bug belt, wisp, raven, wts, 2/20/kb/adds gloves, 2/20 ammu, diadem(i use 2/20/30/57life/19@/80ed/30ias), EoB. 7sks, torch, annie, 5 x 20/5@, 7 x 3/20/20, 4 x 5frw/3/20. I also like 9 sks and drop the 4 x 3/20/20 + 2 x 5/3/20.
Skilling:
You can do this in a lot of different ways. You could go 4k cs and 95k plague if u want, or 8,5k cs and 30k psn. Its up to you.
So i rather say what i prefer and think is the best balanced @ level 99.
1 critic
1 penetrate
1 pierce
1 all dodges
0 decoy and walk
0 strafe
1 ga
1 multi
1 magic arrow
1 cold arrow
20 plague
1 jab
6 poison javelin
20 plague
20 cs
20 fury
20 bolt
15 power strike
with 7 sks this gives u:
37k plague
7k cs
(bolt depends a lot on psy dmg, with perf javs its like 8,2k)
fury: 3k light dmg.
with 9 sks it would be:
41k plague
7,4k cs
8,6k bolt
3,2k ish fury light dmg.
Basicly add 200 light and 2k psn each skill with this setup. (a little less for fury)
Lets say 7 sks: (the boost of 9 sks would be 4k more psn and 400more cs dmg, at the cost of 26*6 = 156 max dmg at ga and 20% frw. If you want 9 sks, you can chose some of the other scs to be with frw. But i have played 100% frw for a long while and its good enought, but another 20 would make it much better.
So what does it pumps out with this eq:
(Eth rare 2/2/40psy javs + sop + faith gmb + bb + wisp + raven + wts + rare helm + craft ammu + craft gloves + 7 sks + 5 x 20/5@ + 7 x 322 + 4 x 5frw/3/20)
68fcr
120frw
fullbug
100%++ pierce
65% critic strike
3,9k ish life with self bo
able to cast oak/heart of wolverin
52fhr
85fr, 80lr, 75pr, 75fr
20% dr
54/63/54 dodge
max bow and jav ias
(demon limb ench on ar and dmg):
18,2k ar multi
1131-2606 ga dmg
782-1782 multi dmg
1060-8,5k bolt
1509-2815 psy // 1-3,2k light fury
1-7k CS 12 bolts
37k psn plague over 16,6 seconds
Downside:
Your main eq lacks a bit FBR it got 0, its usually ok anyway. but can be a pain in the ass vs bowas and babas.
Tactics:
General:
- Writing tactics like this is a bit stupid as every duel is different, every opponoment is different and you should always adapt to survive. I can give some basic pointers anyway.
- Fullbug with flashing ur str items(circ, gloves, bb, ammu whatever BUT NOT BOOTS)
- Always keep your oak up.
- Bo with cta/mara/soj/bk from cube ofc(you have a nice bo level, griffon can add 1 extra also but i never cba), and use ench. Fire dmg stuns a lot! Ar helps a lot on multi.
- Wsg to avoid all kind of animation stun and to desync a lot better.
- Open skill/stat tablets to tele longer/shot longer
- Plague tactical, with this i mean: On ur walkpath, where u think enemies will land, north when expecting a jump. Also walk into ur plagues, and knockback enemies into them, usually bolt is best for this(cause always hits vs mb etc). Fury for nb.
- Fury and multi are good ways of removing summons/mercs, you should use a set of psy javs to keep this effective enought. Without psy mercs and summons can take several hits, with psy they gone in 1.
- Dont exspect your low multi dmg to stun as much as an bowas multi dmg.
- with CS on right side you can chainstun with shift without throwlocks etc. You should keep all skills keys at that side unless when u are bming with skillbugging cs. Then you should do at left side for beeing able to teleport meanwhile skillbugged.
- You can skillbug and manual fc. Two ways of bm'ing without use of hax/programs. But I wont go much into this, im pretty sure its availeble on google.
- Mixing of offensive and defansive gameplay is often very effective vs most enemies.
- Fury recoils back from walls/trees/stones etc and can hit many times, use this as ur friend.
- If a CS attack is started, it will excecute even if the enemy tele or walk or desync or wsg away. Sometimes even several hits can be landed from distance. Use this stun to chain tele him.
- Locking with fury and bolt is an easy way to lock, then tele. But its a bit slower than just teleport and slam him.
- Use a mix of attacks to knockback and stun enemies, and let ur psn do the job for those who outtank you.
Vs nec:
Hardest off all duels: Either go extreamly offensive with cs chains. If he is offensive back this can be very hard, espesially if he keeps enought sorb. Bow is more or less useless vs most necs. If he is skilled and very offensive, then try to plague him, keep him away with bolts/fury. Ga some while wsg. C/T tele away if psn'ed. Basicly suprice him. Mixing of offensive and defansive tactics are usually good vs all enemies. Eithe use base eq, or put on griffon + 6/40. But remember golem is easier to remove with psy impacted javs. C/T tele to hunt faster. Keep ur bloody oak up.
Vs baba:
Put on storm and tank him down.
or
Stay on sop. Plague urself, keep mobile while teleporting. C/T tele away when psn. If bvc shot GA to stun and dmg him furter. You get good at this after a while. Many babas you can even outtank pretty well with just a sop. I often jump babas with sop as well. Don't possition urself close to a swamp. His wirls will hit so fucking many time and last forever hitting forever. You can position urself in a corner wall, from there he will have minimum hits, cant triwirl and you can tank him the easiest way. Same goes for ghost, just watch out that there are no traps around. Multi away oaks etc. If he got a little low res, jmod and griffon combi is very effective xD
Vs javas:
Prestun with ga or fury. Then jump and win. Plague if safe etc. Get out if you se you loose. Fury will hit many times when recoils from walls tree etc. You can also stay away and ga him down vs slow javas. Remove summons with fury/multi.
C/T tele to get distance if needed. Or to suprice attack.
Vs bow:
Easiest way is to put on storm, trangs as well for fcr. If cought in FBR mode, then fury him back to stop his attacks then jump.
Play as a pure java. Plague if u got the chance. Vs extreamly good bowas can actually be a little hard. But you should have advantage in this either ur using sop or storm. Dont teleport after him predictible, you will get cought in fbr mode. if bow hunts u walkstyle in tvt, throw plague when off minimap towards him. They will be invisible and stay up long enought for him to walk into them. Bowa stuns you a lot in tvt. So often just stay away from then until others are down.
Vs Druids:
Psy dmg is ur friend here, fury is ur friend. So basicly play more or less walkstyle. Plague tactical. Fury when he comes, to remove summons and knockback him. If he is knocked back twice in a row you can usually teleport and cs him to death. If u start missing CS flee away with wsg. At this point you can often chain dudus. But some are very good at northspamming xD Especially those who claims to not have TMC but have it xD A shaper you should always win vs. If he got somewhat legit abs ofc. Plague him, tele away, 1 multi then ga. Fury bolt etc to kb him. Most of them you can just stomp and CS down.
Vs assa:
If no traps: Jump and cs, plague tactical, wsg away, mix of attacks. use corner tactic vs ghost.
Vs soso:
Cs chain them down. Fury/bolt for stun. Ga incase they maximum flee. Depends on str and skill of soso ofc xD
Vs Palas:
Hammer: Play as bow, and place tactical plagues. Cs if u get the chance from south after kb from bolt. Bolt a lot. Ga a lot.
Vs smiter/vt: Basicly plague them and flee, jump if safe with cs. Bolt for KB, ga from distance. Multi away oak.
Vs foh: Jump chain with cs.
