General Introduction of all careers in my opinion (1)

This introduction is based on my experience of playing all careers. It is my opinion so it is not totally correct. Just take them as reference. I will describe my thought about them like why I do or do not. I will mention the pros and cons. But basically some cons are in my imagination, so it may be not so precise.

Amazon
The first one I played was Bow Amazon. It worked but not very powerful. It had some problems. One is the sustainability, the mana cost and recovery (by all means) is not balanced. Another one is it can not deal massive monsters. It was like the way I played Barbarian at the time because that was my fundamental concept of playing TSW mod. I can't remember clearly now, but Bow Amazon seemed not to finished Hell because I was not satisfied about it. So I just left it alone and played another career I guessed. 

And there is some time between the first one and the next one. After I played other careers and understood more, I began to play the next with new understanding. So the second one is Dual Amazon, Bow and Javelin. I put most skill points in Javelin, while I seldom used it only on certain condition that was as I met mass monsters. The famous Lightning Fury in vanilla D2 was also useful in TSW mod if you put enough skill points. But usually I used Bow to fight. This Amazon was good for me.

So let's talk about the pros and cons of Dual Amazon. The pros are, first it has the highest damage on specific condition. Second, it is missile career basically in general. ( I would explain in cons.) So it is safer most of the time than melee career. And with a full Valkyrie it doesn't worry about tank, just needs to stand at a good position and makes damage. It is relatively easy for new players that I would recommend it for new players. Since they can learn how to stand at a good position.

And the cons, one is Act Boss, if you want to make high damage then you definitely choose Charged Strike as your main skill, which is melee. This will result a lot of problems to solve. So it is a difficult problem on building, in addition to this, the mechanic is another problem that it need better technique because players have to use Valkyrie well to be the shield instead of the character. And during this process the Valkyrie will die soon, so players need to re-summon casually. And besides, mana will consume quickly so you also need to remember use your mana portion. And the stress of surviving, which increases the difficulty as well. So it is not easy to challenge the Act Boss.

The second one is the lack of defensive method. For Amazon it doesn't have a lot of way to defend. Only Valkyrie and Decoy, and run. The passive skills may work but they are not controlled by players, so don't expect them too much. What players can do are running and keep Valkyrie and Decoy alive and in front of the player, which are mistakes that new players usually do.

I did not try Pure Javelin Amazon, because I thought that poison javelin skills are not suitable for me. They needed time to work. And besides, the javelin skills consume javelins, which may cause sustainable problems. That was why I did not try.

As a "retired" and lazy player now, I am willing to play Dual Amazon sometimes, but compared to Dual Aura Zeal Palain, it has a disadvantage that sometimes I can only wait or consume too much portion. Well I have to say it is not a problem for normal player as I was before. But for a lazy player like me, I have been used to the convenience of Paladin, which can solved most of problems with skills. So only a little inconvenience can make me feel annoyed. I have to admit that my patience has decreased now, since I am not enthusiastic as before. This is why I call myself as a "retired" player. It sounds like an old man who is lazy and always speaks of how strong or active he was.
