Build me a bow build

Not quite sure of what I should get.

Aim for lvl 50-60. Bow, fire, light, cold if you're cool. Put skills into whatever is necessary for a bowman.

this is pure str bow

well, if u dont like farming u can do w/o ice mastery, or ice imbue, but more phy.def is always good for a bower in pvp & some instances of pve

& wat i put is just essential bow skills that are good in pvp & pve

strong bow IMO is not that great a skill, charge time is way too long & barely does 500 or so more dmg than anti-devil (considering anti-devil can do more w/ it's high crit)
nor is autumn wind that great a skill, other than aoe dmg, anti-devil will out dmg it & berserker arrow already has aoe

u can practically use anti-devil, arrow combo, & berserker back to back, since their cooldown is pretty good

While good, i would add the arrow combo (its not selected in the skills). Also, i would favor strong bow and autumn wind instead of the cold tree. Sure defence can be good, but a whole tree for imbue (while effective for PvE...kinda...) and the extra defence of a shield that dosnt block dosnt make sense to me cause you have the HP to be able to get hit a few times being pure str, and you should be able to kill most mobs before they get to you anyways.

Obviously the choice is yours, but if the skills are there for my build, i wanna get them and utilize them, using the same 3 skills over and over and over and over again for 80 levels gets boring, lol. You just have to learn WHEN to use the skills to make them effective.

Overall, the build that HBblade made up is good, but my suggestions are above.

this game like all rpg games is about finding which skills are most effective & meant to be used over & over again, because using anything else will be slow, even if it maybe fun to change it up a bit, u'll find that most want speed/power over fun/enjoyment of skill animation

Ok Temptation, looks like HBblade knows everything there is to know. Pay no attention to my OPINION

Str bower without combo? you're killing the only fast skill a bower has.
If you're going to use the ice imbue (in PvE that is), why not increase the freezing chances.
More hits = higher chance to freeze.
And it has it's uses in PvP.
SB or after 69 Devil arrow > Anti devil > highest combo > 2nd highest combo > phantom

Anyway EllisD's suggestions are nice and need consideration.
