Where is the HoA build guide? Seems it's just RF no ?
|
|
|
Same Question, i fall here looking a leveling RF guide :p
|
|
|
a good bit of your skill points aren't set I'm guessing you're going for divine Judgment
update guide please |
|
|
Huh what's going on? It says RF guide but only buys the gem and does nothing else with it. And what is HoA doing there, shouldn't there be a switch to RF at some point?
I am really confused. The guide starts promising! IGN: Myralah (Rampage)
