Starter Summon Amazon - Decoys and Valks

Viability / Purpose of the Build

Pretty much the easiest Amazon season starter that can farm almost anything and do Uber Tristram easily.
第 13 赛季削弱了诱饵和狼獾之心，使挑战暗黑破坏神克隆体更困难。不过第 14 赛季让竞技场中的石柱不再能够被选为目标，应会让挑战更轻松。

观看赛季开荒视频——第 14 赛季中，视频里的内容仍然适用（使用威力一击练到 27-30 级，再转为诱饵/女武神）

Skills

See picture for skills, basically max out Decoys, Valks, Penetrate and Strafe, in this order. Decoys benefit the most from AR early game, so max Penetrate before Strafe.
Leveling up more you put 10 points into Critical Strike and the rest into Pierce.

Attributes

Get as much str/dex as you need for gear, the rest into vitality. For instance get 115str the Valkyrie Wing Helm if you wish to use that. Decoys and Valks have a pretty high mana cost, if you are struggling with mana put points into energy.

Gear

For summons its basically all about the +skills so get as many as you can. Also try to get a decent amount of FCR, try to get 32 or 48 FCR. Season 12 added FCR on Large Charms, use these to get the needed FCR breakpoints early.

Early Game Gear

Get a decent amount of faster cast, this guide is focused more on being full summons, so you will be recasting them a lot to position. Get a +3 amulet and +3 pair of gloves asap. Gloves preferably have FCR on them. Other options here are Lore, Peace and a Rhyme / Splendor. For weapon you can go Spirit Sword or Neophyte.

Mid Game Gear

The best damage increase for your Decoys is the Passion runeword. If gives you level 8 charges of Heart of Wolverine. Level 8 is an 81% damage increase for Decoys.
It can be made in any regulare/white socketed weapon, for pure summon make this runeword in anything with low str/dex requirements.

If you really want to strafe, make this a Passion crossbow. Be on the look out for a Vipermagi, Lidless, Valk Helm and ofcourse Passive and Magic grandcharms.

后期装备 Late Game Gear

Taking the Decoy damage a step further can be done by upgrade the Passion into an Oath runeword. Oath has charges for a level 16 Heart of Wolverine. Level 16 is a 145% damage increase for Decoys.
Gear focus should be +skills and FCR, so a random Arachnid Mesh would be a good choice. You could go for +skill rings, but I don't think it worth it. Use them if you have them though.

Mercenary

For merc get an A4 Dark with Amplify Damage or an A1 Fire with Vigor with a Witchwild String.
For an even bigger damage increase on your decoys use an A5 Might mercenary and give him a Vile Husk.

Check the links to gear and skills for the mercenary gear.

Leveling

Standard Amazon leveling, use Power Strike until 27-30 then respec into Decoy/Valks. Basically finish Normal difficulty with Power Strike and swap to Decoys/Valks when you hit Nightmare.

Farming

Summon Amazon can basically farm anything, Pit, Arcane Sanctuary, Travincal, Chaos Sanctuary and Shenk, Eldritch and Pindle. With midgame gear you can also easily do Uber Tristram for your own Torch.
You CAN kill Diablo Clone with it to get your own Annihilus, but it might require some practice. Uber Ancients is also a good spot, just keep resummoning your Decoys/Valks and keep your mercenary alive.
