Leveling
Tips
Start using Frost Blades on level 1 and change for Flicker Strike on level 78.
Main Skills
1. Burning Arrow: the first skill you get is Burning Arrow. Use it until you reach the first town. There talk to Tarkleigh and take Frost Blades as your quest reward. You will also have to buy a sword from Tarkleigh because we can't use Frost Blades with bows.
2. Level 8: support Frost Blades with Added Cold Damage. Create an Ancestral Protector setup. Another useful secondary skill to have is Frostbomb. Also use it on bosses to cause them to take more cold damage.
3. Level 10: activate Clarity for more mana Regeneration.
4. Level 16: activate Skitterbots for more damage.
5. Level 18: add Elemental Damage with Attacks to your setup. Replace Added Cold Damage with Melee Physical Damage and add Faster Attacks to our Totem setup.
6. Level 38: replace Momentum with Multistrike. And it’s the great time to turn your totem setup into a double totem setup. Remember to always summon both totems on boss fights. Also activate Herald of Ice.
7. Level 69: replace Clarity with Determination for more survivability.
8. Level 78: equip Perseverance and start using Flicker Strike. Now it's important to have all 6 links. Replace Skitterbots with Anger and add a level 10 Precision. You need an Enlighten level 3 to do that. If you don't have an Enlighten gem, remove Herald of Ice for now.
