Its hard for me to hide the fact that I like ranged characters in general. I know many of you are hard core paladin fans ect.. but I'm wondering how many of you actually liked the Amazon..(I like playing her sometimes, but her skills seemed so week and unreliable in the later difficulties). So I'd like to see a character like this but totally different.

What do you think?:)
NO lol, actually one of my favorite characters were the amazon..I liked her so much that I got her to I think my highest level...90 I think?? or 92?? Well, this was like 2 years ago..

I'm excited to see what D3's rogue-type will be. I never liked the amazon.

Ranged class is fun and yeah it does take a bit more tactical playing than other classes. I would imagine that they would put a ranged class of some type in just because, well it's standard, you know melee, magic, ranged, something else.
I agree though that the zon is underpowered; at least playing my javazon is impossible on hell. I think she has some pretty decent gear too, but her attacks are like shooting a BB gun at a tank :(..
Anyways, I hope they do put something along her lines in the game, but make her/him much better. I mean I don't feel that there were many good zon builds, but I did only build zons a few times. Plus I think they can do better and make the class even more fun. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
In D1 my favorite class is the rogue because she is very all around (expert bow user, good sword/shield user, decent spellcaster).
But i allways hated D2 zon. Her skills are totally redudant...3 kinds of evasion ? 4 kinds of lightning javelin ? Boring.
I'm very sure D3 will have a ranged combat class.. but i hope it's better then our
old zon.

Yea! 3 kinds of evasion and 4 kinds of lightnigng javelin was so boring! ugh they could totally do better than that. I want a really cool ranged character gosh darn it!
I figure that if the sorceress could summon a meteor shower, than we could at least make the "explosive arrow" do more damage than a message therapist inflicts on the backs of their patients.
We might as well have made the amazon run around with a "cudgel" the whole freaking time and done more damage.
And for gods sake do not use multishot or strafe, it is so freakin unbalanced,
Do you mean like weak? Strafe is awesome for PVP. It easily destroys hdins, sorces, trappers, ssers, etc. Multishot could mow down Hell Chaos instantly. Given, only if your gear didn't suck, but that goes for every character, or else it wouldn't be Hell mode.
Hehe, that i can agree with. I rarely saw anyone use the fire arrow tree since ice was better in like every way o.O
And for gods sake do not use multishot or strafe, it is so freakin unbalanced,
Personally, multishot and strafe were the only reasons why I liked the amazon. And considering the eye bleeding amount of time it took to level the amazon and find decent loot for her to do any respectable amount of freaking damage at all... the time at which I could actually use thease skills and plow down screens of enemies finally made this character class worth it. That is, untill you got to nightmare and hell difficulty. Then you were pretty much effed.
But i do acknoladge that thease skills could become over powered once you got some (really) great weapons though.. but you would spend ten fold more time looking for the loot that made your character powerful becuase untill this happened, for the most part it was like shooting bbs at a tank with most enemies...so i can see where emilemil1 is comming from. I think you guys know what I mean..:O
I myself loved the bowazon but found her too vanilla. Multi everthing 30 yds out..repeat. No skill required to use her. just good gear. I would love to see an archer class in D3 but balance it out and not make it a one two skill only option.
People say sorc is same as wizard..but it actually isn't..if you payed attention.
Sorceresses can be though of as people who got their Ph.d, and are more specialized (elementalists = fire, ice, electicity)
Wizards are like people who got their bachelors or Masters, they are broad and can choose from a variety of attacks.
wizards can conjure, alter/warp time, use elements, and other stuff..
The difference will be, is that we have a specific (ph.d'd) kind of amazon, or a more broad Amazon. It could be a different type. they might combine assassin and amazon. they could make some type of ranged ninja with knives and bows.

If the bows/crossbows has unlimited ammo, what is/could the off hand weapon slot be used for...bow powerups? Since all of the D2 amazon weapons were 2 handed (spear, javelin, bow, crossbow) there was never a use for this slot unless you used a bow or crossbow. If there will be no more ammo, they won't just leave the second weapon slot unused for the new ranged class? Would they?
Just as they could have different magic enchantments for the wizards 2 handed staff.
It would be awesome if they had small repeating crossbows which could be dual-wielded!
But other than that a bow or crossbow is still going to require 2 hands to operate, so I don't see anything going onto the 2nd hand slot.
There would have to be some mechanical way of feeding the arrows into the weapons if you wanted to shoot the arrows in any kind of quick manner when you are dual wielding crossbows.

when I first pvp'd against that, HOLY CRAP. Killed me in 1 shot every time.
Well I ment for PVE sry bout that. should have been more clear.

I loved my bowazon. Just send in Valkyries to die and continue blasting away. Good times.
