most people are str bow because when youre int you dont need another ranged weap(youve got nukes) + bow doesnt really make your nukes strong enough, spear and sword do.

No build sucks, just learn to play with it...

ontopic:
It is not recommended to be full int bow, but go your own way. at lvl 80 you maybe rules. who know?

full int bow is cool, i saw 1 on odin. surprisingly his phy atks + imbue did more dmg than his nukes + imbue.

so keep this in mind as you lvl. [he used light imbue with fire light nukes]
his strongbow did more dmg than his nuke

Ok go as you like...but I tell you, at lvl 70+ you will lose all matches at pvp because as a full injt you have very low hp and the phy atacks from bow won`t help you a lot....at least put some points on str to have some hp and try to take a bow whit high critical...because as a full int, whit a critical or two you can kill a full str....:D but if you don`t give critical, you die:D

You CAN keep on as a Full Int bow, you will have the highest damage possible for a chinese character. However, many bow skills have critical increase and you won't benefit for that.

Don't take anti-devil, get Autumn Wind instead. Also focus a lot on Explosive Arrow, Strong Bow and Arrow Combo.

Cold mastery becomes necessary for you to survive, since you will need the highest level mana shield possible on most of the time, other than the physical defense buff and passive. Take lightning to increase your damage and speed.

OR you can change to 70:70 bow, if you are aware of the changes.

Pure Int Bow is good. :)

If you find you have trouble with being mobbed when grinding you might want to use the fire imbue at the lower levels instead of Lightning (Cold is too slow for my taste ... I have leveled and deleveled Cold four times now >.< though I am now keeping Cold for the last time for the buffs). And now in the 70s I use the Lightning imbue instead of Fire (presently deleveling Fire).

I presently rotate 2 strong bows from the different books and an antidevil for grinding. The Lightning nuke is nice if you get too many piled up on you. And the Mind bow series is spectacular for jobbing as a trader or hunter. I do use the other skills too ... picking out which to use when is part of the fun.

Don't, I'm sure anyone else you ask will tell you the same thing. Switch to spear or s/s if you're going to continue full int. Yes, it has been tested.

@ above
No it's not, it wastes skills and passives as well as damage and inventory space and criticals.
