INTRODUCTION
This is exclusively an end game build and I will not provide a leveling guide or "budget" option for this build. If you want to level a Huntress/Amazon, please see my comprehensive Hollow Palm guide, MOST of the items from the HPT build can be ported to this build. Here is a link to my HPT guide: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/0-3-league-start-the-hollowed-one-detailed-league-start-guide-to-endgame-ignatius
This build is WILDLY potent, and is easily a contender for the strongest mapping build of the 0.3 season. As usual,
Ice Shot is completely overlooked, and with the crit-cap on Amazon combined with
Herald of Ice, this build wrecks even the most difficult maps with EASE. This is not "the vision", this is truly the lazy-man's farming build.
There is also a tech in the build for deleting Pinnacle Bosses in one-shot via FREEZE mechanics on
Freezing Salvo and
Ice Shot, then consuming the freeze with GIGA-DPS via
Barrage and
Snipe. The single target on this combo is around 50 million damage when shot-gunned properly.
HOWEVER, all this fanciness is not really needed. You can just run up to Xesht and use
Ice Shot and
Tornado Shot and kill him in about 7-10 arrows. lmao.
HOW IT PLAYS
This is the lazy-man's clear-everything build. Enjoy it for what it is. You run around and shoot mana-free
Bow Shot to casually clear while proccing Ice Bite and Innervate. When there are big mobs, you swap to
Ice Shot, with Nova Projectiles this takes care of almost everything. Occasionally you have a very dense mob or stronger rares, and in this case you drop a
Tornado Shot and fire an
Ice Shot in the Tornado, to amplify your projectiles / DPS.
Note that a 6-link
Herald of Ice is actually doing most of the ancillary clearing work. Keep an eye out on your Cold Attunement support gems to make sure they are actually increasing DPS. And, if you have % Damage as something other than cold on your items, you can use Embitter to convert this to cold.
You also need 60 extra spirit in order to run
Rhoa Mount alongside
Wind Dancer with Precision I,
Ghost Dance, and
Herald of Ice
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Is the build expensive, can it be done for cheap?
Yep, it's expensive, we are on bows now. Again, if you want a cheap clearing Amazon, see my HPT guide, which has a 1-Div T15 mapping variant that is incredible.
No, it really can't be done for cheap; bows and quivers that are good are just expensive.
Is ____ class better (i.e. Deadeye)?
Nope. These classes are strong and certainly strong enough to clear everything just fine, but Amazon (along with Gemling) is the exclusive class that offers ceiling-less endgame scaling.
Critical Strike and
Stalking Panther inherently synergize with the ideal gear pieces and passives to provide damage and defense. And
Penetrate gives insane flat Weapon DPS basically for free.
What about ____ item / ____ skill (that I see on other builds)?
There's a lot of fanciness with surrounded and mana techs on bow builds. These are fine, but ultimately they are just unnecessary and consume gear / point slots that we can leverage elsewhere for higher dps and more defense. This is definitely in part because on Amazon you can actually hit 100% chance to critically hit with the right passives, and this opens up a lot of opportunities. ... That's really all there is to it.
