Making a Chinese Bow .

Hey There .
At the moment I'm farming SP for cap 100 in RSRO .
I'm still not sure which build I'm gonna go for .
It's either :

Fire/Force
Cold/Force
Fire/Cold

I've seen the Fire/Force on PVP and it's SICK,the Cold/Force was very cute, the Fire/Cold managed to survive longer but damaging as usual .

Why am i having issues for picking my own build ? well , quite obvious , it's my first bower and my first serious character .

The Fire/Force offers Physical Damage , Magic defense , De-Buffs , bad Status Removal skills , Keeping your party safe and extra MP .

Cold/Force offers Physical defense , Damage MP Absorption , Freezing / Frostbite , De-Buffs , bad Status Removal skills , Keeping your party safe and extra MP .

Fire/Cold offers Physical Damage , Magic defense , Physical defense , Damage MP Absorption , Freezing / Frostbite .

Fire/Light offers Physical Damage , Magic defense , Speed , Parry Ratio , Magic Attack .

Anyone could explain me which build is the best off these and explain the reason ?
Thanks :) .

Fire/force = best in pvp at later levels. Like 80-90+

Cold/force isn't my favorite as I love fire more then cold. But you'll be a dang nice tanker,*for a bow* and with debuffs it could do well. Still, I like fire/force better.

Fire/cold = my favorite pvp choice. I'm just not a huge fan of force. Never have been.

Fire/light = a no no. You at least have to have 80light/20ice for pvp purposes or you'll get raped.

So far Fire/Light has been taken off since i see no point in it for pvp / pve .
The others are still there because ur just giving ur opinion about the builds and not explaining why they are actually better than the others .

Uhh...well then, let me try again.

Fire/force is better then cold/force in terms of damage. Cold/force is a better tanker.

Fire/ice can't really be compared to fire/force or cold/force because some people say fire/force is better then fire/ice while other's disagree. It IS a personal preference.

I haven't heard of any high level ice/force bows so I can't give a very good perspective of that build. Sorry.

Yeah I've only seen one vid about that build so it's kinda hard to compare it .. it was on cap 80 too so XD ...
anyways , the Fire/Force vs Fire/Ice .
if you can put it in words ... the +'s and -'s of each build and compare it ..
