Hybrid Bow / Lightning & Fire good idea or not?

Well my questions are simple.
I plan to make a bow-char with 2:1 (Str:Int) and with lightning as main force and the power of fire to support my force. Armor should be protector.
Ice... i don't care about everything other people talk.. "that it is perfect for archer" and so on...
My idea is to use lightning as imbue as well as berserk arrow (both skills attack more then one mob --> AoE damage) as bashing shoot.
So i hope the char could be a perfect "mass-basher"

with fire i can increase my physical force as well as damage via buff..
So what is your opinion?? Could that work this way or not?

thanks a lot for all answers.

in first levles (before at least 30) use fire imbue as it has higher damage, and you don't have extra HP to tank multiple monsters that will be agroed by lightning transfer...

I tried that exact build you're trying now... it's nice later, but first levels are hell if you try to use lightning

and a second question i have.. is:

currently i'm level 21 and i've put all my attributes into str. so is it ok if i'm going to put the next 10 level into int and then in mix as hybrid like 2:1 ?????????????????????

don't double post... you can edit your last post if you have additional questions/etc

And, to your questions...
I didn't level that char a lot... only played it till lvl 29. It was nice to bash multiple monsters, but it's hard to kill more than one monster at the same time (only with crit on both of them) and it's even hard to find a lot of monsters standing close one to another...

Mostly, you'll use AoE for trade runs when multiple thiefs summon

If you want an AoE character, go nuker and use Lightning nuke

Bow hybrids are good, but I don't know much Int would be good (i'd say 1 Int every 2 levels)
