Does chinese force better fit a full str bowman or a 70:70?
Please take into account debuffs and such

i think str bow will be good cuz of the fire buff they have for it

So you're saying 70:70 doesn't?

Also, I'm assuming you mean full STR.

Fire would do the most, but if you include the bounces from Lightning, then I don't know how much % damage is bounced.

yes, I mean pure str vs 70:70 (80:80 w/ gear), assuming that pure str would use fire for imbune and 70:70 would use lightning for imbune

IMO a resser needs to be agile. That would mean maxed light. A resser needs to be able to take a few hits even if snow shield isn't active. I would recommend STR or hybrid str because of this. Hybrid STR bow resser was ElissD build and he was happy with it. He talked about it somewhere you might be able to find the thread.

So basically, It would be o.k. for a pure str to have (i'm thinking about 90 cap here) 90 bow, 90 light, and 90 force? How about the 30 left over? Fire or Ice?

Well If it was my character (remember there are many ways to build a chinese character) Im not sure actually. Fire would give you a small amount of physical increase buffs, and at high lvl you could be status immune with fireshield. Or you could go ice and get snow shield. Until you hit cap I recommend doing both and then when you run out of masteries you will know which one to get rid of.
