PvM Icemaiden (FA) Bowazon

I always wanted to post somewhere this build of my own, somewhere where someone will appreciate it, and I think this is the right place. I made this hero, actually I've two of them, the same FA bowazons. The build is PvM based, I tried PvP, but it doesn't worked well. So here is it, I'll write down the name of the hero and the server also, don't take it as an advertisement.

JordanaBrewster - Lvl 95 - Headoff G.I. - 1.10 SCL

Introduction

This is a PvM build for experienced and rich players. I called it visually beautiful build, because the completed amazon is completely blue by her items. The build is dependent on +skill items, unlike the most builds it uses skillers instead of sc's max'ar'life. Anyway you will see at the end.

So, by using the Nightwing Veil, TM and the Holy Freeze aura of Ice, the amazon is completely blue looking, and it's very beautiful. There are too many items that gives Cannot be frozen, but the idea is to have a unique looking amazon, else everyone have a classic bowazon with shako, forty and WF/Faith, and it looks like S#!T.

I've removed the wrong info from yesterday. You can see my exact stats and skills distribution, FA dmg, attack rating and life/mana stats on the attached screen shots. I have an act 1 rogue mercenary, equipped with 13/1 Faith on Hydra bow, eth Bone* visage (knock+cb+str) and some Duriel's armor (generally for the CBF mod and life, res, str). The frost-maiden has 90 ias with this build, which is 9th frame, and with Faith's merc. it's 8th frame. I tried it PvP, but it rather hits, almost never if Pierce is upped - it just go through, even if it hits there is only splash dmg and if the player have max cold resist - it does nothing.

Edit: Sorry for the misunderstandings. I've edited some of the info about skills and stats, in the brackets () are shown my default stats and skill's level for magics with +all skills items. Critical is upped only once, not maxed as I wrote yesterday. I've added some screens about skill and stats distribution and how the hero looks like. I can eventually add screens for all my stuff if anyone needs it.

Also, I'd like to say that all my heroes, this and the next 2 bowazon which I'm not posted yet are p4f (play for fun) made, for a closed realm on a cracked server, generally PvM, PvP they just suck. In the server I used to play, actually, map hacks and god mode are allowed to be used, so for that reason they have so little mana, because it's regenerating permanently and I don't use mana leach. And as I said before, I made these builds just to be "Cool" if you know what I'm talking, have a fancy, nice looking hero - not for high dmg, for breakpoints, high resistances in hell or any other reason.

So everyone is free to comment on my build, you can be critical as hell, but I'm not going to change my build even a bit. I love my bowazon, and everyone else on the server I play, love her too, because she is unique. She's a Fashion Queen.

For the critics:

-no point in maxing critical - It's my mistake critical isn't maxed at all, just 1 point.

-you cant have CTA in a bow and use a shield - Yes, I can't. I've CTA on Gmb + arrows.

-you dont need to max penetrate since your bow has ITD - I'm not sure if ITD works fine on PvP, with 20k def barbarians I'll need much more than 10k AR to be able to hit them.

-tyreals while looking cool isnt a very good armor for this build - Like I said the primary idea was the nice look, entirely blue amazon. There's actually one more "blue" armor - "Silks of the victor". It requires 110 str and there +1 to all skill bonus, I think TM have much more pluses than this one. I don't argue that any other armor than TM is better, just this is my choice.

-you have no mana leech and no insight - read about the server I plays (the upper post) and you will know why.

-andy's visage doesnt have knock back - Eth visage doesn't always mean Andy Visage. I was talking about Bone Visage 2 socks 25-35 str, knockback, 10CB. I'd fix it in my post anyway.

-this build guide is better - I haven't seen this build until now. It uses a part of my items, but the others defer. Everyone has the right to choose, at all.|||-no point in maxing critical, you're not using physical skills.

-you cant have CTA in a bow and use a shield

-you dont need to max penetrate since your bow has ITD

-tyreals while looking cool isnt a very good armor for this build (no plus skills) if you're going for cool looks that's fine, but you also seem to be trying to make an effective build as well. pick one, looks or effectiveness. you can get the same look from using silks of the victor, that would at least let you have +1 skill and mana leech, why not use it? hell Heavenly Garb is blue and would probably be more effective than TM.

-you have no mana leech and no insight, how often do you have to use a mana pot?

-andy's visage doesnt have knock back

-this build guide is better.|||I like frozen arrow.

Something for you to consider is that a maxed Ice Arrow only provides a small freeze time bonus for freezing arrow. I'd recommend using those points to get a nice valkyrie.

Every small cold charm in your inventory adds to the length of your frozen arrow skill so those Ice Arrow points are easily replaced.|||seems to be a purely blue looking icemaiden, eg like a "purple only light sorc".

Why not give a little more variety in terms of gear selections? Eg im sure wizendraw would be compatible with this, as would faith.
