Unconsidering immunity, Cold imbue is better.

The build... It depends, but most will say full str bow.

Lets put it this way.
Cold has 1 buff.
Fire has 3.
Enough?

at this point, it really comes down to how good the new ice shield buff really is, and unfortunately the only evidence of it being crazily good is one video.

as it currently stands fire is superior to ice. fire tree has more buffs and ice status can be easily potted off if u are not already immune. if they fix teh fire shield and add 90 skills then we might see ice being more useful

It's gonna take a while for the 90 cap and new skills to come. So fire is better than ice right now until we get the updates.

Hes going str hybrid strangly, why anyone would acctually do something like that i have no idea but fair enough.

80 Cap: Fire.
90 Cap: Dual Imbude.

Or you could always get both imbudes now.

Cold imbue, my blader only has it at lvl 1 of book 1 and I don't see any low dmg, takes out the white monsters in just a couple of skills. Much better status effect than burn too.
