Its a relatively good build, however why the 72 ice? Bowers only really need 30 as they dont need more than the level 25 snow shield.
A better build would be:
90pacheon/90fire/90light/30cold
The 90 light would give you the much needed speed and parry, along with the increase in mag damage which is also important. The level 25 sno shield would be good enough to help you tank damage.
Hope this helps.
Oh yeah and use the fire imbue becuase it has more damage

there is a big debate, either ice or light, or hybrid both up
i think ice will help more than lightning for full str

I lack real info about Hybrid STR's, but I'll try to help. I believe that a good hybrid bow would be one with 25lvls of int, so 75 int points. You'd get with that 85% phy balance. About skills build, the one you asked about is good enough, I believe. But take only fire imbue, cold imbue if not maxed to 90 won't be really useful.

it's all come down to you to decide, everybody have different opinion; however, i don't really like the ice bow, i'm more of a light side. Basically people want to have ice is because they have the chance to stay survive longer, but if you want ice to tank then why play bower?, plus bow is all about support class, range attacker, not suppose to stand still and tank like blader and glaive, us bow need to use phantom

my build: 90 bow/fire/light 20 ice(just enough to get snow shield)
