It you want to go all average, go with bow. Range also somewhat speeds up traning since you dont have to walk up to the enemy.
However, if i were to make a new account, i would go with swords. More flashy numbers
Bow + Ice / Fire (or both / some of both) = pwnage
Freezing monsters, attacking them, and freezing them again is great.
Damage is somewhat low, but not major. The ranged attacking makes up for this.
