Whats a good character that doesn't rely on items?

The safest yet powerful one will be the amazon, be it Javazon or Bowazon. Both build can actually be played naked, while the Javazon still remains the best killer machine in the game.

Not to mention they have the passive skills and the now super killer tank, Valkyrie, at their disposal.

Ho wthe heck would you play a bowazon naked? You'd have no bow, so it'd just be your passives, in which case you'd be a tankazon, not a bowie.
