I like self wield Infinity because a) poking things with a big stick is fun, and b) the damage is nuts. It's satisfying to one shot a boss.

My other little pleasure is fire bowa. I know it isn't the best but it can still be pretty effective when geared properly, and it's just cool.

I've yet to try a frostmaiden but will do so in due course. Not sure if poison and physical melee are worth trying?

Lightning Fury
was my first, and it was good to get into the game but I got bored.

I somehow never really messed with Javazon back in the day, and since D2R launched, I now have, and I love it. Also, physical bowazon is something special.

All trades are negotiable within reason :)

poison is fun. though not very strong,
ranking in terms of power from my experience:
1) 2x lightning builds
2) physical bow and icemaiden
3) poison

fire and physical melee, I have to try out yet

Java, to me, always got boring quite quickly.

Phys bowa on the other hand has been pure fun for decades and counting. :)

hmm do you mind telling a little more about the fire build?

because I tried it and find it disappointing tbh despite good gear.. even had to come back to nightmare cows to level a little, and now grinding stony tomb to get the bloody 187 dex and equip Faith

the rest is pretty optimized already (Flickering Flame, +2 gloves, Chains of Honor,
The Rising Sun
, 2x soj..
Kuko Shakaku
, and still feels very weak..

even with Faith it won't be that different I'm afraid

Ice
Matriarchal Bow
amazon is fun to me. Also only viable cold build outside of cold sorc, whom I scrapped.

Added value with bow skillers being readily available and bow/life are cheap because most archers are physical going for max/ar/life.

I built her a whole ago so I can't recall all the research / testing I did and the sources I used, but the conclusion was: more facets, more good. 3 in the
Helm
(but Flickering Flame is fine here), 4 in the armour, 5 in the +3
Matriarchal Bow
. No Faith (I guess Phoenix would be next best option?), no CoH or Enigma. I haven't optimised to add in one of the new jewels yet. Start with an
Immolation Arrow
, then pump in exploding
Arrows
.

Think it's either Phoenix or Brand. Didn't check.

Agree about javazon. I played one a lot for a while, but got burnt out quickly. Probably the fastest I ever got a character to the mid-90s and the only high level character that's pretty much just a mule at this point.

My ranking is:
1. Physical bowazon
2. Frost maiden
3. Physical spearazon

GMT-3
I only play softcore, non-ladder.

Phoenix probably.. if it works in missile weapons?

It definitely does.

Let's be honest, no matter what you do, it's never going to be an OP build, but I like a slightly off meta build, and it can comfortably clear any area on P1 (I don't really get much opportunity to test beyond P1 tbh). I just recorded a little video of Chaos for reference; terrible play on my part, and I have far from best gear (all my facets are cheap rubbish), but it works even in areas with lots of fire resist, although obviously not breaking any speed records.
