aim between 90% str hybrid (90% physical balance without gear) or around 70:70
70:70 would nuke the best of these(but it's more for fun, maybe ligtning nuke for grinding)

4:1 int. I got one on Saturn - but its still low level... Later with good equip you can have a balance of 70% phys and 100% mag.

Most of the time bow skills work better than nuking for an INT bow.
Using a fire imbue until about level 70 is a good idea too so that you don't get swarmed by mobs when grinding. So you seen headed in the right direction.
One other bit of advice ... the cold passive and snow shield in the long run will be more helpful than the heuksal passive.
And finally, don't let the people that say it can't be done get you down. Int bows can work and are fun. Have fun!

the guy that got killed had bad gear¨¨, no build sucks.. all depends on your gear... but it is not recommended to go full int bow.. no extra hp/block passive... and if u should go pacheon/fire/lighting/ice/heusksal.. think about the 300 masterys max...
At lvl 60 you should be forced to level down one of the trees... ok if you dont want to have a 20 gap^^

+1 everything yamataka said and since she is the only "int"bower hear I would listen to her.
Just to add, while you wont nuke much, but you still should get nukes for grinding especially the nukes with splash effect.
I would leave the hp passive that you already have but stop leveling it. Concentrate on ice for snow shield. It is your mandatory defense skill.
Int bow is a hard build to play because you lack defense. You would be the most fragile chinese character. Most people cant handle the lack of defense. I know I couldn't. But don't let that discourage you. Once you lvl up nice and high, you can always add str if you like for more hp.
