While it is true that a level 57 should never go into hell, nor should she be expected to be viable, I did mention that I went to hell *just to see*... I figured that her physical damage wasn't going to be increasing by much, and her Freezing Arrow was already at max, so why not? The AR problem combined with her low damage output and lack of crushing blow/slow monster/PMH etc caused a big fat dispairity between my killing speed and everyone else in the game (namely the sorceress).
Since I play in private games only, I just went back to nightmare. The problem there was that, without the aforementioned crushing blow and a good bow, I was still unable to effectively dish out the sweet sweet damage. She was innefective in nightmare act 4 and 5. And forget about immunities -- if a cold immune came up, it was over. Not nearly enough physical damage was being done, and I didn't have any fancy tricks up my sleeve to take care of them.
That is the reason for this thread. I want to make a Bowazon, particularly one that uses Lycander's Aim (since I found it); I wanted to see if I'd be wasting my time or not (level 57 is awfully young to retire).
I haven't yet been able to make a decent bowie in 1.10. Paladins yes, Sorceresses yes, Trappers yes. Barbarians, Druids, Necro (because I haven't wanted to play a Necro), or Amazons - NO. Some for lack of trying (barb and necro), some because I can't come up with a decent build.
If my next attempt at an Amazon fails, I'm moving on. I'll try a spear/javelin zon or something. That's the beauty of this game. There are lots of options.

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