			== Introduction ==

	=Introduction=

	Hi, I’m Ava. I’ve been playing Diablo for a long while and I like builds that are a little different such as Bombasins (Fire Blast assassins), Riftadins (Zealots using Rift) and Kodiaks (Hunger Bears). I like builds that are challenging, but still viable. I haven’t had much experience with amazons however because, like many people, I used to think that amazons aren’t very versatile. There are several solid bowazon builds and nobody can deny the absolute power of the lightning javazons… but then it becomes quiet around the amazons. Poison kills enormously slow, Fend and Jab are bugged when used with Dodge/Avoid and amazons who try to equip a powerful sword or axe are suddenly facing a block speed so terrible that it’s cripling the build.

	I’ve looked throughout the boards for a good build that I have in mind, but to my surprise, I couldn’t find one, so I decided to make it myself. This build lets the amazon go melee with a dagger. Now before you laugh at me, allow me to explain why daggers are actually great weapons.

			== Dagger Cons ==

	=Dagger Cons=

	Of course, there are cons to the whole dagger idea too and while I think the pros outweigh the cons by far, it would be wise to mention them anyway. The first and foremost con is the lack of attack skills. Amazon skills are focused on bows and javelins and weapons that grant oskills, like Passion or Kingslayer, cannot be made in a dagger. You’re stuck with a normal attack. Also, don’t forget that daggers have a range 1. While I don’t find range a big issue in PvM, it can be a bit annoying from time to time, especially when monsters are running away from you.

			== PvP / PvM ==

	=PvP / PvM=

	For those of you who are unfamiliar with those terms, PvP stands for Player versus Player and means that you use your character to battle other diablo players. PvM stands for Player versus Machine and means you can battle the forces of darkness in the world of diablo.

	This build is not intended for PvP. You don’t have the damage, life, attack rating or mobility to compete with other players. Seriously, unless you are battling someone who really doesn’t know what they’re doing, you’ll be dead before you can land a hit.		This build is not intended for PvP.

			== Skills ==

	=Skills=

	Skills are an important part of this build. Since you won’t have a bow or javelin ready, you will spend all your points in the Passive and Magic skill tree. I will discuss each of those skills and give pointers on how many points you should spend and how/when to use it.		Skills are an important part of this build.

	=Equipment=

	Your equipment is an important part of your character. I’m going to give options for each part of equipment you wear, giving cheap options for those who don’t have a lot of equipment or who want to try this build untwinked. Before I do that, I’ll list the stats that all the gear combined should give when you’re entering hell.		Your equipment is an important part of your character.

			== Mercenary ==

	=Mercenary=

	A good mercenary is useful for every build, but it’s almost indispensible for this build. With a Valkyrie, a Decoy and a mercenary, you are a lot safer, even against large crowds. When it comes to choosing a mercenary, I think there are really only two real options.		A good mercenary is useful for every build, but it’s almost indispensible for this build.

	===Helm===		===Helm===
	Again two choices: Vampire Gaze and Dream. Vampire Gaze is an affordable choice and offers Physical Damage Reduction and life leech. Remember that upgrading your Vampire Gaze can actually lower its defense, so consider that before spending the runes. The Dream has resists, a chance to cast Confuse when hit and a Holy Shock aura that will add a decent amount of lightning damage to your mercenary’s damage. As a cheap solution, Tals Mask is good too.		Again two choices: Vampire Gaze and Dream. Vampire Gaze is an affordable choice and offers Physical Damage Reduction and life leech.

			== Tips ==

	=Tips=

	A Daggerzon is not a Zealot or a Fury Druid. She will attack fast and do decent damage, but both of these are not as godly as these two builds. On the other hand, with Dodge/Avoid/Evade, your amazon can tank better and your summons provide the additional defense needed. In this chapter, I’ll provide some pointers. I’m sure some of these are of the “duh”-variety, but I’ll mention them anyway.		A Daggerzon is not a Zealot or a Fury Druid.

	* Possibly the most annoying kind of monsters are the ones with a Holy Freeze aura. When you encounter one, kill it immediately. If you can’t reach it, recast your Valkyrie on top of it and have her kill him.		* Possibly the most annoying kind of monsters are the ones with a Holy Freeze aura.

	* Souls are difficult for any character. Make sure you have maxed lightning resistance (80-85% is even better) and some Physical Damage Reduction. Use Slow Missiles and Decoy wisely and you can defeat an entire room full of them without too much trouble.		* Souls are difficult for any character.

			== Hybrid Builds ==


	=Hybrid Builds=

	I’m sure many of you who read all the way to this point are already wondering about hybrid builds. For those of you who are familiar with the term, Hybrid means that you use part of the build and combine it with another build. For instance, there are Javazon/Bowazon hybrids who use both bows and javelins, depending on the situation.

	Definitely a worthwhile build. However, remember that it costs 22 skill points (remember to put a point in Pierce now) which will have to come from somewhere. Try using a Melody (“ShaelKoNef”) bow in a Matriarchal Bow with +3 bow skills. This will give you a good attack speed and a total of +6 to your Ice Arrow on the bow alone. Remember that Ice Arrow is not for killing. It’s used to immobilize.		Definitely a worthwhile build.
