We will also cover some less expensive gear options in this guide.

This guide will not cover gear options (especially higher end gear) in very great detail. While that guide focuses on the same skill set, this guide gets into more tips and strategy.

It will also not touch upon the fire tree. This guide will not touch upon any other Hybrid zons, such as Lightning Fury/strafer builds because these are already covered in other guides. This is a zon build that requires strategy, patience and if played well, can generate hours of fun gaming. So please don’t ask for help with making one of those. This is not an “Uber Zon” or a Godly Zon” build. There are several Amazon builds that are fun to play. You can find a discussion about Strafe vs. Some people skip this area anyway so maybe this won’t be an issue for you. This is one of the game locations in which Multishot may be more useful. There are so many critters running around and shooting little peas at you. The lock is only a second or two so if you’re careful and strategic you’ll be fine even with low life.Īnother negative about strafe is that places like Act 3 Flayer Jungle will drive you bananas. She positions herself behind them, makes sure she won’t get hit while strafing and then locks and loads. You must be aware of where you’re standing before you start strafing. One is the lock you experience while strafing.

There are only a couple of negative things about strafe. This is mostly a leveling guide and tips for playing a FA/Strafezon and some very brief suggestions for gear and skill points. This guide does not get into the math behind breakpoints. Rather this guide is simply an update and addition to it, since that guide is written without strafe as a main attack. This guide is not supposed to replace Freyas’ excellent FA guide written back when 1.10 came out. The S/FA zon uses strafe for three main reasons: as a main skill, for cold immunes and for mana regeneration. This Amazon specializes in a cold attack using Freezing Arrow and the liberal use of strafe.

But that would be too long wouldn’t it? This guide happens to be for one of my favorite builds: The Strafe/Frozenzon. Or call it “How to build a fun character who can kill in hell when you don’t have any itemz”. The Poor Man’s Guide to a Freezing Arrow/Strafezon.
