Amazons have some variations in playing style. For Javazon, you want damage reduce equipment, +life mods, and moderate resist. The rest will be supplemented by her passive / magic skills and the javelin skills itself. For bowazons, you can go two routes. One is to attain high base damage bow / crossbow (BurizaWindforce or Faith, for example) and go with +life / elemental resist / physical reduce. Another is to attain the fastest bow with moderate damage and go pure +increased attack speed items in order to shoot the most arrows in given amount of time, which in turn will make up for the low base damage.
Experienced Amazon users will not grab for damage reduction gear easily, unless they will fight hand to hand with their amazons. This is because they have learnt to keep their distance from foes and distract the creatures with decoy, valkyrie and mercenary. The amazon herself is rarely targeted and the usage of damage reduction has become pointless. These players will more likely benefit from armors that are socketed with IAS jewels for speed, enhanced damage or elemental damage jewels, or they make armors with good resist, magic find or a runeword. The two main options listed are the extremes. There are many paths in between and a compromise between damage, life, resist and speed is often best. Other tactics include goldfinding, magic finding and undead or demon killing. For these specific tactics one has to wear the appropriate items. Demon killing in particular is helpful because all act bosses are demons. Magic find will also help against these because they have the best chance to let something useful fall.
