I've heard alot of different opinions about Frost Arrow. Some means its not necessary and that one should just leave it at level 1 and never touch it again, Some means its not worth more than level 3, and some means that its deffinitly an Archers MUST skill... I am really struggling about this skill and I want to put points in it but I havent gotten to the great stuff yet...

So here's my point, I would like to hear everyones opinions on Frost Arrow and if its worth pumping to the MAX or not.

Thank you Very Much~ :3

    ive kept it at lvl 3-4 when i lvled

    SAGE archers should lvl it to 10
    A patch full of glitch,

    Should i continue playing this game or switch,
    because this is a serious problem and not a simple itch.
    Some bug abusing noob gets rich,
    While a honest players get the ditch.
    Please rollback if you wanna enrich,
    or this game would just be a ****

    Kiting is when you put the most distance between you and a mob by running or hopping away. This is good for archers because the max distance you have is where you do the most dmg. This can also help if you need to pop a pot or if the mob is getting too close.

    You can also sometimes kite by jumping over a monster. (For some monsters, when they get close - and if gravity has not made you put on weight -- this can work well.)

    This skill has saved my archers butt numerous times. slow effect for the solo archer is a much, or when you pull too much hate.

    I use it in combos to grind not sure about pvp.

    I have it lvl8, it is cheap so if i have some spare spirit ill put it to 10.

    hmm archers do tend to kill mobs before then reach the archer.. and stunning is better than slow so takes no chi so choose to put your sp/coins into stun/frost arrow but anyway frost arrow has no faults to it so it's worth leveling

    Stun is almost as good, but only at lvl 8+. Slow works 100% of the time, stun only 90% at lvl 10. You also use about 3x as much mp stunning targets. It is definitely better if the target isn't at max range, but still costs more mp than slow+ knockback.

    Mobs don't hit you if you use stun, frost or coligation bolt as begining, or if you waste a lot of mp and use skills nonstop. Either way frost is the cheapest of those skills. Vigor is free and frost + normal atk gives you enough vigor to slowly fill up in sparks.
