I created amazon and I'm totally pissed off with bows. I want strafe build, but at 16 lvl bows totally sux. I kill one mob in 10-15 shots, got half of my gear yellow so I shouldn't have problems. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Everywhere I see fucking HIGH LEVEL BUILDS and stupid UBER RUNS on youtube, that's seriously annoying >.<'
To the questions:
Am I gimping myself leveling with bow spec?
Should I lvl as javazon?
Please give me some tips because now (with bows) amazon suuuuuucks as hell...
A bowazon won't ever really be good unless you have a good gear, particularly a good bow. So if you're planning on getting stuff like Faith it's probably a good idea to switch to something else.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

Bowazons will definitely languish until level 30+, but mine's 67 now & has been really fun. I'm using the Witchyzon guide, and have about half the recommended gear, and she hits like a truck. It's a really fantastic bow, and you can get one pretty cheap since it seems like it's not a very popular one. The amplify damage proc really makes it shine. I love when it curses monsters with the Cursed ability (ironic yeah?), and when it makes physical immunes vulnerable to physical damage.
Bowazons are extremely crappy until you either A: have an awesome bow (damage) or B: have enough mana steal to spam multishot (AoE). Both are hard to get so I recommend leveling with a javazon and then respec to bowazon once you get a good bow.
That.
Bow dmg sucks without good bow ...so it can be realy anoying.
I did lvl a HC bowzow sometime i go. She was lvl70 or something...
You might try socketed bows. Rare bows are weaker then socketed ones at this lvl because, in order for a yellow bow be good, it needs a massive amount of elemental damage mods and +dmg. And most yellow stuff comes with tons of crap mods...
You should ty to find a bow with 3+ sockets and put 1 shapire for slow, 1 emerald for long term dos and 1 ruby/topaz for short term dps. You d9n't need mana leech, just spam mana potions (your belt should be 3 manas and 1 hp rows). This socketed bows ususally do wonders for me at low levels!

Faded out her voice and soiled her name
And like marked pages in a diary
Everything seemed clean that is unstained
The incoherent talk of ordinary days
Why would we really need to live?
Decide what is clear and what's within a haze
What you should take and what to give" - Opeth
