okay so im thinking about going 100 pach, 100 light, and 30 cold, but i originally wanted pach/fire/cold/30 light, so i got the ice imbue and maxed it.
should i redistribute that or just keep it?
also, what should i get in light, i only have grasswalk and the passive right now.

Why would you go 100pach/100light/30ice? You'd still have 70 extra mastery levels that you wouldn't be taking advantage of.

For pure str archer, 100 pach/fire 80 light 20 cold...100 light is a waste of sp cause str's don't get nukes. I don't think you need high cold as pure, all you get out of it is phys def, yes it is extremely helpful, but not worth the sp as pure str if you ask me. For those worried about phys def go protector instead of garment.

If you really want cold that bad (you do know that ppl can be immume for that imbue right?), I'd go with pach 100 / fire 100 / cold 100 and some speed scrolls/drugs. My 2 cents..

Just make hybrid bow and do 100 Pach/Light/Ice...
I have lv.91 Int bow, and I can win against anything in PvP (with snow shield), so doesn't mean you'll suck at PvP

Mainly because it doesn't make a lot of sense.

From what I could understand you want to switch your 100 pach/100 light/30 cold build to a 100pach/100fire/100cold/30 light build?

The last build would be over the 300 mastery limit by 30 levels, meaning no light.

Redistribute what?

Get grasswalk, phantom, mag buf, concentration series and the passive.

okay sorry i should have made it clearer, im asking which i should take, pach/fire/light/30 cold or pach/fire/cold/30 light (im not planning on getting to 100 for any of the masteries)

Well if you want the ice imbue go with the second build. You'll be slower but will have tons of def. Also, don't raise your snow shield past like level 2 or 3. It'll end up draining your mp.

well the thing is i dont really want to go with the ice imbue, i might just want that for PVE, so if i wanted to go into light, which skills should i get?

Get grasswalk, phantom, mag attack buf, concentration series and the passive. And the imbue if you want.

I think you need a better idea of what you want to do. I would plan for the 100 cap even if you don't reach it since it helps eliminate some of the options. Thus, making it easier to choose which one you want.

concentration series are not really worth it for such an amount of sp
and yes, better plan for 100 and polarize your har to a certain build instead of scattering around the entire skill list
