Recommended Character stats

Strength

Enough Strength to be able to use the items you plan on using

Dexterity

Not only does Dexterity increase your character's damage, but it increases the chance to hit (attack rating) and the ability to dodge attacks better, however if guided arrow is used attack rating is not needed, so if you have a good weapon than you will not really need to dodge only stand back and shoot and watch your enemy die, unless you are dueling another amazon. You need atleast enough Dexterity to use the items you want to, it would be a good idea to have more

Vitality

Vitality is a very important asset to life, recomended vitality would be atleast 220 base, more vitality than this would be a very good idea

Energy

You will need more energy the lesser mana leech you have, energy isn't very important, although it would be a good idea to get it up to about 30 base

Passive and Magic Skills
*If you are planning on making a javazon, do NOT follow this guide, this is for a bow skills amazon only*

 

Critical Strike Get this to the point where it won't increase anymore in Percent the max is 65% chance to double damage, I beleive its skill level is 15/16 at maximum increase damage
Penetrate This skill increases your chance to hit things by a lot but this is not a skill that helps you in dueling if you use guided arrow
Pierce This skill is one you will want to put atleast 5 skill points on, if you have extra skill points than put them on this skill
Slow Missiles Only one skill point is needed on this which will have to be added anyway to get valkyrie, this skill is good if you want to be cheap in a duel, works great against characters like amazons, sorceress' and necromancers
Decoy/Valkyrie These Skills are good for taking hits for you, especially when dueling an amazon, it is recomended that you put a few skill points on valkyrie, around 5 and only one on decoy, make both decoy and valkyrie near you when dueling
Dodge Atleast 5 skill points should be added to this skill, if your amazon has no trouble killing an enemy that does not shoot back (attacks with a weapon) than you dont really need this skill, but if you have problems with these characters getting to close to you, this skill will give you a good chance of blocking them (Max if possible)
Avoid This skill is important to get to atleast level 15 if you plan on being good against other amazons in a duel, or other missile characters (Max if possible)
Evade

Max this skill

 

Bow and Crossbow Skills

 

Multiple Shot

This is an extremely important skill for leveling, but can also become handy for dueling if it is a high level or maxed. It can easily hit a troublesome moving target...

Guided Arrow Max this skill
Strafe Although some people use this skill for leveling, this skill is not good at all for dueling, do not put any skill points on this for a PvP amazon
