1. Introduction

When arrows are blocked by shields and throwing spears are dodged there she comes, striking from beside with burning lightings and shield-breaking hits from the majesty of the one and only weapon, the two-handed spear. This guide is for everybody who loves the assassin-like amazon, the two-handed melee amazon. This character has a really high damage-output and two really strong damage kinds, lighting and physical damage. Here strength is a great physical damage-output onto one monster and a lighting "mass-killer" for the hordes of undeads, demons and animals but be aware because she is very vulnerable to damage on her because of missing block and the problem to reach enough life, reduce and resistences. You will need a good handling and some skill in using defense-skills like decoy, slow missles and some oskills to make her a powerful character. In a party, she will support the party with a boost of kill speed and therefore becomes the defense of the other characters ingame, especially auras will make her even more powerful.



2.Stats

Strength:
Boosts the physical damage and allows us to carry elite amazone-spears and the rest of our gear but is third-ranked when compared to the other stats. Just push strength high enough for elite amazone spears and the equipment you want to carry.

Dexterity:
Boosts the attack-rating and is also a need for elite amazone-spears. Dex ist 4th ranked, the reasons are; charged strike and chain-lighting strike always hit, so you do not need ar and because of two useable masteries and the ar bonus of jab the chance to hit with jab will be high enough. We also do not need Dex for blocking because we do not play with a shield. Therefore only push it for the dex-requirment for amazone-spears and maybe some point at start to hit good enough in the early game.

Vitality:
Vitality is most important for our character because when a monster attacks us it will hit us because our defense is very low and we are not able to block. For playing this kind of amazone through hell we really need about 12.000life or even more. In fact we shall put nearly every able point into Vitality.

Energy
ChS and Cls will need some mana but we will also leech enough but to start of it is a good idea to get around 50 Energy without equipment to use ChS and decoy fluently.


3.Skills:


Bow and crossbow-Tree:

Amazone spear mastery: 30 points because it gives dmg, ar and CS, that is all we need for our physical dmg.

No other bow skills needed (i dont even know why this skill is in the bow-tree)

Passiv and magic-tree:

Critical Strike: 1 point because with +skills it will become high enough and in higher slvl the increase of CS is too low to skill it with additional points.

Penetrate: 1-30 point/points. It depends on your ar. When you need more put points into it to hit better with jab. In fact this is the last skill you shall max out because others are more effective.

Inner Sight: 1 point because it is need for decoy.

Slow Missles: 1 point because it is need for decoy.

Decoy: 30 points because it is a very useful skill to defend youself and to strike from beside without standing in a horde of monsters (the decoy will do) and is a synergie for our wally.

Valkyrie, Dodge, Avoid, Evade: 0 points!!! Here you might think: "Why shouldn´t i skill it... it gives me chances to avoid hits and the wally is also a very good blocker and i maxed decoy...?" The answer is the following; the animation-sequence when we dodge, evade or avoid an attack lasts 8frames during that time you can not attack (leech) or run away and this will be deadly! A range-amazon do not get hit often but a melee-character, especially our melee-amazone will get hit and when she stands in front of a bigger pulk she will get hit often and also will d/a/e often and that means you can not attack. This will make you slow... slow means dead. If you do not believe me test it out but everybody who often plays an amazon will support this fact that d/a/e is deadly (as i said before especially for a melee-amazon) But there is still the argument of the missing wally because d/a/e is needed to skill the wally. Here there are 2 good possibilities to get her. The diva-sets amulett grants +wally and also the very useful runeword "humility" does (more about that in the item-section).

Javelin and spear-tree:

Jab: 30 because it is one of our main-skills and does good physical damage. When you meet a light-immune enemy... use jab.

Impale: 30 because it gives 10%damage as synergie to jab.

Fend: 0 points because fend is bugged extremely. You will not hit anything just the air. The damage looks good, the chance to hit also but you can not hit because it is bugged.

Power-strike: 30 points because it is synergie to ChS and ClS.

Charged Strike: 30 points because it is our best attacking skill. When you attack a bigger monster like a yeti or an act-boss or a spider all the combo-lightings of ChS will hit and the then the damage-output is amazing (more in the "how to play"-section). ChS is also a synergie to ClS.

Chainlighting Strike: 30 points because it is our third attacking skill and very effective against many weak monsters but also bugged with nex-hit-delay (or featured) but is still very very strong! ClS is also a synergie to ChS.

Poison Javelin: 1 point because it is needed for ChS and ClS.

Lighting bolt: 1 point because it is needed for ChS and ClS.

Plague Javelin: 0 points, not useable.

Lighting Fury:´0 points, not useable.

We will have 222 skillpoints at level100 including the bonus-points from quests. With maxed penetrate we will need 215 skill-points. Max out the light-damage-skills first, here is how i skilled my last one: 1.ChS, 2.ClS, 3.Energy Strike, 4.Jab, 5.Decoy, 6. Amazone spear mastery, 7.impale, 8.penetrate

There is one Teddy-Skill you have to get as fast as possible, the "spear-mastery" from the "Broodwar-Client". It grants +5spear-mastery and with it +1Skill on any item will be +2Mastery because you have 2 different masteries which affect your amazon-spear!

5. "How to play"

First of all this ama is no real melee character like a barb or a zealot. You can compare it with a kicksin or some other kinds of melee assassins. You strength is to attack the right monster from the right position. An example is when there is a huuuuge pulk of monsters and a lonely monster standing some yards away from the pulk ou attack it with ClS oder even ChS so all the other monsters will also get hit. Use decoy often and learn how to find the right positions for it, so you can attack tactical aims for an increase of your real damage output. Never ever stand in the front!

Dark_Lagencie:
Ich find den Text oben gut ... Decoy: 30 points because it is a very useful skill to defend youself and to strike from beside without standing in a horde of monsters (the decoy will do) and is a synergie for our wally.

Und dann gleich drunter Wally 0 Punkte weils sinnlos is ^^

Aleksa:
Und darunter steht:

But there is still the argument of the missing wally because d/a/e is needed to skill the wally. Here there are 2 good possibilities to get her. The diva-sets amulett grants +wally and also the very useful runeword "humility" does
