for pvp, fire/ice.
the mag. balance is a bit low to make use of light that much.
if you want to save sp: max bow/max fire/ mix light/ice
the ice should be at least 60 though for you will need 40% snow if you plan on staying the hybrid you are

it is all up to your own personal preferences,
if you want a pure pvp, crit reliant(bow helps alot there) build, you can just set all str on every further lvl (you'll end up with something between 10:1 - 9:1 hybrid)
either
max bow/ max fire /90 light/ 30 ice
or
max bow/ max fire /max ice
if you want a pvper that can deal higher non-crit damage and lvl quickly,
-a more death prone build-
then you go something between the 9:1 (93% phys. 34% mag.) and your current build (which should be almost 1:1)
either
max bow/ max fire /light+ice mix
or
max bow/ max fire /max ice
though the hybrids aren't prominent in pvp, with the right skills you will easily be as good,
i've had a 5:1 str hybrid bower that did pretty well vs the praised full str builds,
just needed a 30-35% snow shield to make up for the health loss

IMO 9:1 is not hybrid enough, if you decide to go hybrid at least make it worth it. Something around 80-85% phys sounds good, maybe a bit more or less depending on how you like to play.

I'll go 85% phy as Tsume said, and will be 110 pach/110 fire/90 light/20 cold
Ty all
edit:
so a friend told me if i want to go hybrid, i should go 70:70, whats the difference ?

70:70 seems good enough, and i heard it has insane critcals
if i choose 70:70, should i go pach/fire/ 90 light 20 cold ? or should be bow/fire/cold ?

fixed
(but 60 ice for 40% is even better)

so i should drop light and go with 110 ice ? (for pvp's sake)
or the 60 ice and rest to light will be a good mix ?
and uhm im guessing i'll have to wear protector ?
one stupid question, i noticed that i'll add more int than str, how come they both r same balance ? and btw i'll use nukes ? xD
thnx alot.

110 ice gives you alot more phys defence and the possibility of a higher snow shield-> 2-3x more sp needed
60ice/50 light gives you 40% snow which should be enough, about 12% mag. attack, 53% speed, some parry and some phys defence.
all for very little sp
the real difference is the phys defence

if you want to focus on grining till you are high enough, take garms and then make a prot suit
supermando wrote:one stupid question, i noticed that i'll add more int than str, how come they both r same balance ?
the same amount of stat points gives you a bit more balance% than for int
it's normal

thnx alot.
nah, as a bower you have quicker attacks with more range that outdamage nukes if they crit.

No I am 2:1 str...light and ice...no fire. I just feel anything less than 2:1 str will make you a rogues bitch..those cats do massive crits. I want to at least have a some respectable level of survivability.
