I am currently leveling a hybrid bow, and I was wondering what level of snow shield I should be able to use. I'm planning on having around 85% Phys balance, and will be maxing Ice. Any help is much appreciated.

i'd guess 30-40 max. just leave it at 20% and add higher lvls if you see that you're not tanking enough. Than lvl it until you notice ur mp runs out too fast with max pots. Than delvl it until it doesn't.

btw, if you ever notice yourself standing still in a pvp due to lack of mp, and ur not pvping a lvl 100 bower who's spamming kb, it usually means ur pots are too small or your snow is too high. I always laugh when I pvp some idiot glaiver with 40% snow and he just stands there until he dies.

Ah, I see. It's looking like my archer is going to end up with just around 80-81% Physical balance, so I'm not totally sure what SS I'll use. I'll just have to see lol
But thx for the help ^^
