Amazons are something you very rarely see. Sure, you see Bowazons that use Guided Arrow and Multi-shot, but nobody really uses any of the elemental skills these days. However, Patch 1.13 may have brought about some changes in that regard, with the Immolation Arrow buffs as seen below.
Official Blizzard Quote:
Amazon

-Immolation Arrow - Increased base duration by 33%.

In this case, we'll be using Immolation Arrow as our main attack, since it's received a decent buff. While this build is all fire, we'll still be able to kill the immunes via some item choices. For example, using the Skystrike bow adds Lightning damage, and using the Holy Freeze merc will add Holy Freeze, in addition to whatever gear he is equipped with. For the most part, this build is pretty straight forward, not very many surprises or tweaks that I can think of really. Here's what I went with:Stats:
- Strength: This depends on how rich you are in-game. However, as of now, you can respec your character if you overfill your Strength. Basically, you only need enough Strength to use all of your items.
- Dexterity: This also depends on how rich you are in-game. However, as of now, you can respec your character if you overfill your Dex. Basically, you only need enough Dexterity to use all of your items, though Dexterity will also increase Attack Rating.
- Vitality: Dump the rest of your points here.
- Energy: Do not put anything here, it's a waste!
