Last night, I found Lycander's Aim. It's a nice piece of equipment, and I was wondering if it's good enough to actually start a ladder Amazon with.
See, my last Amazon was using a Blastbark Gothic Bow (upgraded) and stoped being effective at around act 5 nightmare. Once I entered Hell, she became completely unable to kill anything. When I say "completely unable to kill anything" I mean "completely unable to kill anything".
Her main skill was Strafe and her main elemental skill was Freezing Arrow. It took way too much mana and time to kill non-cold immunes, and cold immunes were healing so fast that my little strafe was doing practically no damage.
So, with that previous experience in mind, I'm a bit weary to start a new Amazon using this new Lycander's Aim (which seems to be 100x better than my little Blastbark).
The high mana consumption of Freezing Arrow doesn't seem to be a viable way to handle Physical Immunes, and I can't seem to get enough damage via the Amazon's main physical damage skills to handle non-physical immunes -- what to do? I play in 5 player games; with that amount of players, I'd like to be able to kill SOMETHING in Hell mode...
Any suggestions? What kind of builds do you find most effective for an Amazon?

"Yay! We did it!"
"Who are you?"
"Um, uh... just ... a guy." *flee*
