pure str bow build

So I'm thinking 110 bow/fire, 55 light/ice. Is this a good build for bow? First time using bow ever. Then again since ice imbue slows, wouldn't it make sense to have ice as my main force? Cause my magic dmg isn't gonna be good anyways. If i could slow mobs down/kill them before they reach me, isnt' that good? Help.

Ice imbue is amazing for grinding. But less efficient in PvP. But like you said, your imbue damage will be low anyways. But you'll still notice a slight difference. Just try both and see which one suits you better.

And yeah, it's a pretty good build.

cold is not the strongest skill tree and it's value for full str characters cannot compete with fire... but the ice imbue is underestimated alot even though it serves as offense(+damage) and defence (freeze/frostbite) at the same time.

It is safe to advise using this on any opponent you can't kill with 2 hits or any pvp opponent you find unimmune.

As for the light/ice mix:
It will definitely work out the way you chose it ,
but in my eyes, cold works best from 20-30 and 80-110 for a full str build

I'm loving the cold imbue right now. It's so funny watching frostbitten monsters charge at me in slow-mo while I kill them.
