Hi,
I believe that in the next patches, that an improvement upon the Amazon Class attack rating for Bow and Crossbow, may be beneficial towards gameplay and enjoyment.
For reference, my Amazon currently has a near max attack rating capacity, with limited room for improvement, and has roughly 15,000 Attack Rating.
I am noticing that my Bow struggles versus elite monsters, and that without amplify, I can rarely pierce or defeat an Uber Diablo Clone.
From my personal opinion, I am not a big fan of Attack Rating in Diablo II Resurrection, because a Sorceress Class rarely struggles hitting a minion/demon/target.
From a general gameplay opinion, I think that there should be more balances with attack rating (possibly accomplished through increasing the dexterity value to attack rating value).
Thank You,
Robert

Hey Robert!
Try it out with inner sight too, will reduce enemies defenses nicely if it is high enough
Im playing physical bowazon with full dexterity and charms that gives AR. Besides that, you can use Guided Arrow for some monsters.
I dont think this build is good for Ubers. Actually, its not good for P8 too. It’s a P1 build, that I love to play, but it has lots of limitations.
Javazon just melts Ubers, take a look at some videos on YT. I kill them with Java pretty easily. Stormshild and a very high cold resistance to deal with Mephistos Skull Missile and you kill them in less than 1 minute (literally).
But I agree with attack rating system. Actually, I dont like the defense system on D2, it was made with some RPG elements that uses this kind of mechanic, but it would be a lot nicier if defense reduced physical damage, just like on D3.
