need some opinion about fire/cold bowazon

[:1]hi,

thx to MuffinMan, i made this funny build (on SP) and will make in ladder.

my gear is: andy+IASjw, Ice MB, some random amulet with +2/@res (looking for +2/@res/mana), silkweave, +2bow/IAS/fireres gloves, razortail but will switch to glooms i think, anni+torch, many bow skillers (as many as i can have), ravenfrost/rarering with resist/mana/life.

this setup makes 20+55=75IAS for 8fpa. enough for me, no need to go for 7fpa.

skills are like what MuffinMan suggests: max Coldarrow&FreezingArrow , max FireArrow&Exploding, remaining some are in valkryie (17) and if still have, goes to immolationarrow.

as you guess, my question is about armor which i didnot listed above.

5 options i am thinking about:

- bone rw: yeah necro armor but 100-150mana is too good, also 30@res is nice to have. some funky ctc spells like bonespear (nice effect on bowazon) and bonearmor can help if i am hit

- treachery rw: my initial choice but i wont need that much IAS. venom is good but fade is what worries me, it wont proc sometime as bowazons are not hit frequently.

- duress rw: res, highdef, even some OW. best part is good cold dmg. but it lacks any life/mana for my build

- 4s jeweler ancient armor with 70+ life: i have 2 of these in my mules. was thinking about 2 of Ort and pSapphire (38mana), maybe 1Ort, 3pSapphire

- vipermagi: res and +1 is nice, also good mdr, has a socket open. ort probably

Best armor would be CoH (+2/res is very nice for this build) but too expensive for me, will get it later.

note: helm & 1ring & boots can change. i have a trires (3x30+res) boots and might use that if i can find a good circlet with very high +2/mana/res but lose IAS this time (then can use trachery i think)

i will run WSK with this bowazon, so i fear the souls thats why i am trying to stack resists but also lose mana too fast even with insight. spending on energy will not give much as amazons gets 1.5mana per energy.

For now which armor would you suggest? any other (a bit cheap) armor option?

thanks|||Stick to Razortail, you want 100% pierce. Since you're struggling with mana Bone seems like a good idea, otherwise I'd go Viper for the skill and res (also nice since you can stick the Ort in there). None of them are that much better than the rest so it's up to you.

Mana is a *****. My FA/LF zon has pretty much the best gear possible and I still use Crescent Moon for it's leech
