Over 20 years after it was initially released, Diablo II has made its return. This has, of course, led to an influx of players interested in rekindling their love for finding the best synergies and techniques to make in their quest to defeat Baal, Mephisto, and Diablo himself. We cover some of the best builds for Amazon, the strongest ranged combatant in the list below.
Best Amazon Builds
Amazons are best known for their prowess with the javelin and the bow, making them expert ranged combatants. Amazons imbue their ranged attacks with magic abilities, essentially casting the class the perfect support class, capable of dealing heavy damage and disabling debuffs to enemies. The Amazon can usually carry herself solo, but they are best used in groups for crowd control.
Equipment
One important thing to note about equipment is that choosing the right kind almost always depends on the player’s methods rather than the build itself. Since loot is randomly generated when you slay enemies, it is always best to equip gear that best suits your needs rather than searching for specific items. However, we listed the items below that best suit the Amazon class overall. If different gear is recommended for a specific build, it will be mentioned in the Additional Notes for that build.

Bowazon
One of the two classic Amazon Builds focuses on using her proficiency and magic abilities with the bow. This is perhaps the most versatile of builds for the Amazon, as players can alter it for the party’s or player’s needs up until the late game.
Lightning Javazon
The Javazon is the Bowazon’s older, stronger, and more focused sister. While the Bowazon has strength in her versatility, the Javazon almost always selects skills and play styles that focus entirely on her Javelins. With the Lightning Javazon, you can easily clear single enemies or full mobs, even without help.

Fendazon
Fendazon Amazons primarily use the Fend skill to turn the (usually ranged) Amazon class into a melee build that can cleave through large groups of tough enemies.

Thunderfury
The Thunderfury Amazon is one of the most effective crowd control builds in the game. Although she is usually weaker in the early game, this build is extremely powerful when teamed with the right equipment. This is a skill-based build and is definitely an acquired taste that requires a lot of practice to get used to.
Plagazon
The Plagazon is one of the more unique Amazon builds that focus on using poison damage. This is an effective build for almost exclusively passive players and provides remarkable versatility for the Amazon, who is usually more focused on her skills.
Ultimately, the best build for you depends on your play style. However, the builds above are tried and tested by many players with experience in the game. If you have any builds that you think should be mentioned, tell us in the comments below!
