Hi, i'm playing Silkroad only a week (and i can only play it again when Wanadoo fix that stupid error) and i want to create an archer with the first skills from ice. I go first sp farming, and when i have like 20k sp i want to put first in ice and then maybe in fire or so. But i've a lvl 12 archer (also ice) and i just put 1 sp in a new skill. It only freezes the enemy! (dont know what its name is)

Now can someone help me choosing the right ice skills? (so i dont put any sp in a bad skill)

Thank u.

the skill that freezes your enemy is actually very usefull , it has a 100 % chance of frostbite which is better than the 25 % of your ice imbue.

Well as for ice skills I'd go with the Imbue ( first skills )
Take the defense buff
Take the skill you listed as useless, in PvP it can be very usefull
And take the passive

For the bow I'd go with all the 2, 3, 4 arrow skills.
Anti Devil
And some others but I am not familiar with a bow so I donno name.
Also take the attack rating buff and the passive

There's a skill where u can shoot 2 arrows in a row... but it's useless to me i think. I tried it and i think i isn't faster then to shoot 2 normal arrows... (by the way, do u like my avatar?)

it's very usefull the skill where you shoot two arrows in a row , later on you will be getting 3 and 4 arrows in a row, being an icer that would be 4 x 25 % chance to freeze someone and considering this game is pretty much correct with those % rates you will freeze someone with it. And It's not faster / better to shoot just two normall arrows skills are always more powerfull than your normall attack.

And yea I like your avatar

And is Frost Wall useful? (never tried it)

Another question... Should i be able to max out all weapon, fire and ice masteries? (because max masteries = 300)

yea it's possible if you don't take a force

As for your icewall , some find it usefull to archers and some don't I find it extremely useless , eats your MP and you will need make a new icewall for every new enemy if you want to use it that way. And besides , I thought you were going strength and therefor you don't need extra protection.

i dont know i'm going strength, i like to have a high INT. ( i think i'm going to 1:2 STR:INT)

if u wanna go hybrid ( that's how it's called , the mixing if stat points ) read the hybrid guide by SuicideGrl he has a 2:1 character aswell

one thing if you want a hybrid archer go for STR heavy Int heavy bow kis not verys good in it's field. and ice wall is very useful i'm str bow ice and i use it not on every monster but whenever there is a group of them. just another way to keep down pot usage

You can go 60 in each mastery tree over 5 masteries, but then you're weaker in the long run.

Why? The level cap isnt going to stop at 70. Once it hits into the 90-120 range you'll be a lot weaker compared to others, and you'll need to farm 10000000 curst hearts and have like 50mil to toss into resuscitation alone.

IMHO its not a good idea to go beyond 3 trees.
