Fire would be the obvious since the damage is so high but some mobs wont go down so easy b4 they can get to you. Since you're gonna be bow int (One of the worst builds for almost everything) Then go ice/light/bow. With ice you will kill mobs without them even touching you. Even if they get to you, the ice mastery has some helpful skills as you can see. And your damage will be good enough since you're int. Phantom walk can come in handy if you need to run away.

imo int bows are one of the best pve builds ever. (this does not mean you cant pvp, but u'll die quite a lot).

Pach+Light+Cold is the best way to play with an int bow. You can mix a little your stats, theres no need to be pure, but thats up to you.

Fire would be great but since you wont have a shield or the extra hp from heuksal passive, its not a good idea.

if you like to nuke (which is not needed, you'll see) you should go pach+light, rest cold. otherwise go pach+ice, rest light.

well, actually 1:5 works awesome with spear.
i have a lvl 92 1:5 with heuskal+light+cold and i really like it.

as for bow, i lvled this char with bow till i got ff, ksed everyone everywhere :P but at the end i had to spend a lot of money to delevel pacheon.
anyway, for me was the fastest way to lvl and farm.

you can try it, the damage is damn good, and the survability with ice maxed is pretty good too (pve).

but first of all you should think whats your play-style.
if you are a fan of pvp, this is definitely NOT a good build.
otherwise i think its good, pve, uniques, powerlvl, etc.

now do your best and then post your review :P

a Capped Int bow has beaten couple Capped Str bow on my server, and they're pretty farmed too. So you can't really say they're one of the worst pvp builds there is, true they die at times but this Int bower still owns.
