heh.....I use variant to represent varying from the standard version (ie a bowsorc is a sorceress variant...I do tend to make my characters to one extreme or another though....I can't stand a general cookie cutter character, they bore the crap out of me) ...
From my understanding (these are broad definitions....didn't feel like the mile long name of "Quatra-elemental Hybrid Magezon" that one of my concepts was called by a friend lol):
Magezon: Amazon who relies on elemental attacks primarily to deliver her damage (I usually build mine as hybrids, but it does seem to be a common consensus that this is fundamentally a bow *fire/ice* build - so I don't include my pure javelin "mage" amazons in this category even though I really love using a mix of poison and lightning...)
My favorite version of this one is still in the testing stages in single player: Plague Javelin, Lightning Fury, Freezing Arrow, Exploding arrow... I can see the major problem being people will just pass it off as another "lightning fury" amazon....
Bowsorc: A sorceress designed around the use of a bow. (heh, my sorceress doesn't "merely" use a bow heh....she rocks with a bow....kinda miss having attack spells though heh....) - If you just slap a bow on a normal sorceress....kinda defeats the purpose in my eyes...besides, I like the comments I get every other public game of "A sorceress with a bow? n00b." - then I kill faster than them *evil grin*.
Have a few in testing in single player as far as bowsorceri go...the one I have on the realms does good though, and she's not even the version that was most effective in testing - merely the one I thought would work best with what I have available to me on the realms...and that wouldn't lag me horribly there (I'm sorry, but no matter how effective a "cast on attack/strike/struck" melee/bow sorc *yes, it does both* is ...it'd lag me horribly so no go)
