IMO, int/bow isn't the best int-based build out there, especially since bows rely a lot on crits. You lack the close quarters power of spear, and the defense of a shield. So if you want to switch, go ahead.

Your nuke damage will depend on how much of a hybrid you are. Between bow and s/s I recommend the latter, because of the extra defense from a shield.

Bow is only for full str, if u are a hybrid (not sure which type of hybrid u are, since u din't post your stats) u should switch to sword/shield or spear.

since you have lots of STR, i suggest going spear cuz :
you will make more dmg with ur nuke than with a sword and;
you got enought HP to tank

ur nukes would be pretty weak since u have more str than int

if u want those powerful nukes, then get more int pts

Your stats are f***ed up, you can choose to make a new char of go 1:1 sword/shield hybrid with kd and stab as main skills.

Yes your stats are "Seriously" Messed up, ppl keep it at 2:1 ratio of 1:1 ratio, and do what you please. You should be with something you like, if you ever do change to sword or go nuker, make sure "YOU HAVE ENOUGH SP", you have to sp farm if you doing more than 2 masteries.

I know

But is it to late to go hybrid?

What lvl are you exactly? Are those stats you have with blues or without? It's probably not too late to be something a hybrid but I wouldn't expect good nuke damage.

you have a lot more str than int. if you got nukes, they would be very weak. id definately say no to nukes for you. you should get glavie or blade. you have a lot of lightning mastery, which isnt great for upping damage, but it still helps. id reccomend putting sp into fire. since in pvp youll probably be fighting lots of fire people, id say go with blade and shield, because theyll be doing more damage than you since you use light. so that extra defence will def help.

hope i helped! :)
