Go for 60light 20 cold if it matters, still not bad imo. And definitly 110 fire and pacheon, no any other option for this. %19 phy buf at 110 cap and %22 at 120. str chars will be stronger (at least deal better dmg) and int's will suffer i guess.
Ice bow for me...I deleted a good char out of necessity (check sig). Kinda regretful but I will make another. Ice/Pach/Force might be a very good build...its highly defensive and full of debilitating status effects...from ice and from force. But it sucks not having light for movement.

A pure str char needs Fire for the 18 something % phy dmg increase. So unless you're planning to go int I'd switch ice for fire.

But what about 100Pach/100Fire/100Ice? Is the freezing and frostbite ability not worth as much as burn ability?
Sorry, I haven't played this game since there were only 3 servers.

Thanks.
He's talking about the passive phy damage increase of fire.

A pure str can do without that extra 18% because as a pure str you gots lots of phy damage. A freeze will allow me one more turn to attack which will equate to more than an extra 18%. The only problem is that 18% is guaranteed while freezing is a percent probability. But with force you get to weaken your opponent so your damage increases from that.
I feel the more debilitating effects you have the more attack turns you get. Its a good strategy to leave your opponent weak and miserable.

Excellent points. The percentage chance of freezing them and giving them frostbite provides more turns for one to attack and force weakens them; thus, further increasing damage done.
A pure str is a sitting duck without fire, sure you have massive hp but with shitty mag def (even in garms) you will get painfull nukes. I have a 80/20 Fire/Ice Force Archer and sure it has 80 Fire and garms but nukes still hit ALOT, imagine 0 Fire...Also the added immunity and fire wall are more usefull than ice wall IMO

Force is only good for pvp, and half the time they half holy spell. It can help if you're vsing a giant, or something, but other than that, doesn't really help for pve.
When I make these decisions I always think about the goal of any player in this game (including myself) and that goal is to get the best possible gear and weapon. Not everyone will get nice gear but we all believe we can. With that said I don't worry too much about not having fire to defend myself from nukes or having ice because it's the weakest imbue.
The ultimate build is the one that has a real good defense and offense combined with the ability to stop/deter/weaken their opponent. I let getting good gear take care of offense and defense then go for the debilitating effects like ice and force. In other words Xmoshe...A sun garment set takes care of what having fire could have. Even more so.
