Level as in player level, or character level? My last Amazon was retired at character level 57ish when she stopped being able to kill anything in a nightmare act 5 game (4 players). I took her to hell act 1, just to see, and she couldn't do a thing.
As for player level, I like to think I'm pretty good at the game despite my being clobbered repeatedly by a pack of gloams on the realm today with my orb sorceress. Damn gloams.
From the suggestions in this thread, it sounds as though the Amazon has gotten the ol' shaft from the patch. Same goes for any melee build, really. The only builds that I see roaming hell are support Paladins (Conviction) joined by Orb and Meteor sorceresses, along with Trap Assassins, and sometimes Hammerdins (practically a different class from regular Paladins). Poor old Druid is left out in the cold too. Elemental is the way to go, I suppose.
I'm going to test out the Lycander's aim offline, and see how that pans out (those beta character files that were available for download from Diabloii.net that were blank in 1.10s are working ok in 1.10 single player).
I'm waiting for a Guardian Angel and a Lightsabre or Azurewrath before I attempt Hell with a melee Paladin again. Poor bugger couldn't swat a fly in Hell mode. I might try a Hammerdin again as well, now that I have better gear.

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