his guide(max bow ice and light was the suggestion, with which i cannot concur..)

-> you will just use snow shield earlier than full str, that's about it, you can take a few hitsCan use the highest snowshield cus of the mana
-> in pve anytime, in pvp you will need your mp autopotting set to at least 80% if you want to attack as wellGood average dmg
-> can't argueGood hp/mana (you may have lower hp then a pure str but you can use the highest snow shield and they "cant" cause they will have a problem with there mana)
-You dont have any speed

but you can buy pots)
-> range makes up for it in a place with good spawnage, in alexandria you won't need any except for running to the grinding spot this one is best for pvp

- the main advantage of ice for a str build is the phys defence, snow shield is optimal at about 20-30%, for hybrids higher
- if you don't max cold you will not get the highest possible phys defence bonus.
either max, or 20-40 ice
110 fire 90light 20 cold 110 pacheon->okay
Armour:
Garment ( maybe for the speed but i would go protector )
OR
Protector ( i'd suggest this )
Should i go for this build?
90 light 20 cold, 80 light 30 cold or 70 light 40 cold
as a hybrid you can use a higher optimal snow shield as i said, your loss will be speed and mag. attack.
- speed will still be good enough
- mag. attack is the smaller part of your damage so you can bear the loss
it is up to your preference.
personally i don't find the light/ice mix build bad because it gives you enough for less sp,
and it is the allaround comptible version with speed.
