Passive Skillers

[Tib]

Question: do the passive bonuses get increased with +skills from items/charms? Or is it like synergies where only actual points affect the end result?

Depends on what you are asking :-) The skill levels increase, and therefore all the bonuses increase as displayed: critical strike, AR% from penetrate, piercing, D/A/E, Valkyrie level --- all goes up.

It is, however, possible (I don't know) that the "valkyrie gets bonuses from ..." don't apply for levels gained via items --- depends on whether these are actual synergies, or just displayed in a similar way.

Ahh okay, so then Passive GC's are the way to go with a bow zon?

generally passive skillers are the way to go if you are using skillers. bow skillers are only really useful for elemental bowazons. however, another way to go is to use maxdmg/ar/life charms. either small or grand ones. loading up on these is a good way to boost your damage. i tend to use a combination of passive skillers and max dmg charms when i play pvm.

Good tip! Thanks!
