Need Help With My Ice Bowazon

[AndrewTheGreat]

Hi, I'm AndrewTheGreat, just recently joined. I've been reading forums as a guest for about 1 month. Anyway, I have searched the forums, and I can't seem to find the answer.
Where do I allocate skill and stat points for my PvM Ice Bowazon.
-Thanks

Stats:
enough strength for gear
a lot into dexterity
none into vita (or a few points if you want)
none into energy

Here's a guide. Look here for gear suggestions and skill point allocation.

It doesn't necesarilly need to be this stat distribution. Your damage will be elemental and you probaably have your ice in a low damage fast bow like a matriarchal bow. So points in dex won't help your damage as much as it would on physical damage bowazons. Dex points will still help your leeching wich is necesarry since a decent lvl freezing arrow will eat your mana quickly. You will want around 25% manaleech anyways. I would say put points in vita till you have around 1-1.5k life and put the rest in dex

eeek! Don't put any points in energy! Zons only get 1.5 mana PER STAT POINT SPENT. this is a horrible return on your investment. Sorc's don't even put points in mana.

Make up the mana with charms or gear. Putting them in energy is a waste. Chug blues until you're at a high enough level to equip some +mana gear. Most importantly get a might merc with insight. This will help your mana woes and your leech.
