After that :
Rotate 1skill per passive
In this screen you can see your skills trees for a lvl80
- Stats -Strength : Enough to equip your gear
Dexterity :Rest on it, it's upgrade your strafe damage and Attack Rating
Vitality : Enough for 400-450HP
Energy : Nothing
In this screen you can see stats for lvl80
- How to play -Don't forget to summon Walkyrie
Carefull : you have low resists and hp, play safe !
When monster haven't cold immune, use freezing arrow and varie with strafe to leech mana and life.
When monster have cold immune, cast decoy infrom of it and use strafe.
Your Walkyrie can tank, but use decoy in same time.
Use slow missile on every caster monster you meet.
If you have questions or ideas, post here !
An other good bowa pvm guide was mad buy Guigeek, a cheaper gear who I recommand for new players :
