What do you think of the following idea
Never been a huge fan of RNG therefore I try to limit it as little as possible(its one of my biggest pet peeves with Diablo 3) and I've always believed that in the case of Sets and Uniques their value ought to be firmly set in stone. The addition of M'avina's Caster 3 piece bonus appears to be within the realm of. Regarding M'avina's Glove Knockback It was more of a Strafe Bowzons to deter enemies however I'd guess that 20 percent IAS instead of Knockback could harm and if someone were looking for Knockback they could always nef the bow.
To get M'avina's true Sight It's ever had +25 for all Resistance with four items. The M'avina's Embrace(Chest Armor) is the place I decided to add +25 all Resistance and I believe that's where the it should go. -20% Lightning Resistance should go(in place of the +25 All Resistance) since I think that, on reflection the 100 All Resistance is perfectly acceptable to use in a Standard Set. I reduced it to -20%(from 30%) to mirror the Gloves/Belt. For the +Javelin&Spear abilities While I'm of the opinion that it's essentially the same as a Bowzon set, it's not the Amazon Class Set, hence it shouldn't be ignored as an entire tree of abilities.
In light of that what do you think about the idea that this Set could be the first one to provide two alternatives in this Set Weapon? One option is the M'avina Caster with the other option being a brand-new Matriarchal Pike (or Spear... completely customizable on which one to choose) named M'avina's Resolution. If you have M'avina's Caster , or M'avina's Resolution equipped with other Set Items that are included, it is classified as "complete" and thus transferring the +2 Javelin and Spear Skill to the brand new weapon. For the bonus of 4 pieces on M'avina's Embrace I was thinking of 20 percent Physical Resistance(move it from the to the Complete Set) as well as adding 20% Lightning Damage to complete Set for Armor.
The Physical Resistance could then be justifiable for those who are going with M'avina's Resolve as they'll be in middle of it all, fighting off and with the addition of this Spear could allow for Bow/Spear Hybrid builds or allowing players to pick and decide to use Bowzon or Spearzon using class set.
M'avina's Resolve(Matriarchal Pike):

Adds 110-325 Cold Damage Duration 6 seconds duration(Normal) (3 Item)
Adds 10 - 400 Lightning Damage (4 Items)
+2 for Javelin +2 to Javelin Spear Skills (Complete set)
If you think of the M'avina Set as being close enough to Ice + Nightwing, its equally true and untrue. Regarding Cold Skill damage, it's not even near enough. Ice + Nightwing can cause +50 percent Cold Skill Damage, while M'avina can reach 35 percent. Where M'avina's edge is in -Cold Resistance. It is true that Ice + Nightwing is able to hit only -25% whereas M'avina has the ability to hit 35 percent. If Ice could activate Lower Resist when striking or in the event that it had 30 percent of Cold Resistance(or both) the edge of M'avina is completely wiped out. Be aware that Ice also comes with holy Freeze(+Cold Damage as well as CC slow) as well as 7 % Life Leech(via Amn rune), Ignore the target Defense(via Jah Rune) and 20 percent deadly Strike(via Lo Rune). In truth, Ice need to be upgraded and normally I do not talk about runewords, however in this instance it is. 30 percent Cold Resistance as well as Lower Resist would make it a great Frost Maiden Bow.
When we're talking about fire maidens... The M'avina set is probably the most popular currently available.
