Item dependant to some extent, but the ranged builds (Bowazon and Javazon) don't need much resists and defensive mods, and are Hell viable even for starters.

Bowazon and Javazon now have elemental skills of all four kinds which synergize each other. One of Act 2 mercenaries uses Conviction. Abundant Conviction and Lower Resist items are also available. Strafe Zons and Multishot Zons also benefit from the abundant Amplify Damage items, and improved Inner Sight.

Melee Amazon builds are more challenging, but Hell viable once you can access decent gear. All melee skills except Jab can be used with any melee weapon, which greatly enlarges the option of available weapons. The best news for melee Amazons would be the improvement of D/A/E skills. They work much faster with melee weapons (especially with 2H weapons), and also grant Defense bonus.

Description: A Poison and Wind version of Charged Strike. Can be used with any melee weapons.
Pros: Multiple missiles hit if the target is large. Effective against boss monsters.
Cons: The missiles don't pierce the target, so the AoE isn't so good.

Required Level: 30
Prerequisites: Fire Strike (1), Fend (6)
Skill ID: 364
Description: Whirlwind clone with stun effect.
Pros: The best AoE melee skill. You can go through the mob, the fire tower and some obstacles by WWing. Works well with Eagle Eye because WW isn't affected by off-weapon IAS.
Cons: Can't activate CtC "on striking" ("when struck" works fine). Fragile against mana burn monsters.

Difference from the LoD version: The number of bolts increases slowly after slvl 30. Can be used with any throwing weapons.
Pros: Numerous lightning bolts are released every time the missile hits a monster. With a good amount of pierce, very effective against packed monsters.
Cons: Ineffective against a single target.

Required Level: 1
Prerequisites: None
A new ES skill: An Inner Sight like skill that slows target's Run/Walk speed.
Pros: Doesn't overwrite curses, Inner Sight and Slow Missiles.
Cons: Unlike Decrepify, attack speed is not affected (so ranged attackers still fire).
Note: this skill is targeted like a curses not centered on the amazon.

Synergies: Inner Sight: +0.12 Second Per Level
Slow Missiles: +3% Slower Run/Walk Per Level

Required Level: 1
Prerequisites: None
Difference from the LoD version: Improved damage.
Pros: Attacks and chills the enemies in all directions. Spammable. Multiple missiles hit a large target.
Cons: Shorter range. You need to approach the target.

Required Level: 1
Prerequisites: None
Difference from the LoD version: None.
Pros: Even 1 point grants a good physical damage boost with +skill items.
Cons: Diminishing returns make large investments in this skill of little value. (If you plan to use Innser Sight, it gives a good synergy, though.)

Required Level: 6
Prerequisites: Petrify (1)
Difference from the LoD version: Reduces enemy physical resistance and breaks physical immunities. Reduces enemy defense not by value but by percentage. Improved skill radius.
Pros: Stacks together with Necromancer curses, may be used with amplify/decrepify to lower physical resists further, and better break physical immunes, with lifetap for better leeching, with Confuse for better crowd control, or any other curse you may wish to try.
Cons: Quickly diminishing returns make large investments in Inner Sight of little value (though investing in its synergies is quite effective).
Notes: It proved Inner Sight stacks together with Slow Missiles. Both skills use the same sparkling overlay, but both effects work.

Cons

Notes: It proved Inner Sight stacks together with Slow Missiles. Both skills use the same sparkling overlay, but both effects work.

Required Level: 12
Prerequisites: Sway
Difference from the LoD version: Faster animation with melee weapons. Less Dodge chance. Also includes the function of Avoid and Evade.
Pros: Reduced the damage taken effectively, especially for 2H Weapon builds.
Cons: Can still cause D/A/E lock.

Attack Rating%	35	+10

Required Level: 30
Prerequisites: Critical Strike (1), Penetrate (18)
A new ES skill: A pseudo aura (like Assassin's Burst of Speed) which grants Enhanced Damage at the cost of IAS.
Pros: The damage bonus is huge. Especially works well with Dance of Death (Whirlwind) which isn't affected by off-weapon IAS.
Cons: The IAS penalty can be problematic with most builds. (Skill IAS is difficult to negate with Item IAS.) Overwrites and is overwritten by BoS, Fade and Shadow Armor.
Notes: Can't be used with BoS and Fade, but it's useful to use oskill BoS/Fade to cancel the remaining duration of Eagle Eye. If you use Dance of Death and Eagle Eye, and like to switch to Shadow Strike to kill PIs, you will want to cancel the effect of Eagle Eye, for example. Eagle Eye's IAS penalty is Skill IAS, which is difficult to negate with Item IAS. But the Skill IAS from Fanaticism and Annihilation effectively negates the penalty. Crossbows may be better than bows to use with Eagle Eye. Crossbows can't attain 2 frame Strafe, but attaining 3 frame Strafe is possible with Eagle Eye, and their base damage is very good.

Pros: Piercing attack is very useful and rarely appears on items.
Cons: Capped at 100%. You may like to attain 100% pierce for ranged builds as soon as possible. But if you can't use PlugY, there is a possibility of overinvestment.

Notes

The damage per second listed here is the same or close to that listed in the skill description (with no synergies). Whether the damage displayed is correct or triple the amount of damage actually done is under investigation. It's possible the amount of "damage per second" displayed in the skill description is actually the total damage dealt over the total duration of the fire patch, similar to the damage displayed for poison skills...if that is the case, the numbers here and in the skill description in-game will be triple the actual damage dealt (With the hitshift and amounts of damage used in skills.txt, one would expect the damage dealt to be 1/3rd of what the skill description lists...either the skill description is wrong, or there is a hidden multiplier). Note that the fire explosion damage is accurate, only the damage per second is under investigation. I'll update this note when I've had time to do the necessary testing. (Verbatim)

Update(2006.10.02): I've determined the multiplier is probably not the 3 second duration, since changing the duration has no effect on the displayed damage...it also has no effect on the displayed duration (the display still says 3 seconds, even when I increase the duration to 4 seconds), so it's still a bit inconclusive...I'll do real DOT testing in multiplayer next, to see what the actual damage is.

Difference from Lightning Fury (ES): Less damage. The bolts released on impact has only 2/3 radius. This is because arrows are more spammable than javelins.

Cons: Ineffective against a single target.
