this guide tells you what skills to use, and when to use them:

and your build [you're pure str] should be:
- Pacheon 80
- Fire 80
- Light 80
- Cold 20 or is it 30? for 20% [?] snow shield
thats it.

Not to mention the Parrio ratio buff and passive from lighting.
Being a pure str, you wont need the snowshield. I have it pretty high, but merely for when I get mobbed. Shield + 40% snowshield = run. Other then that you have not enough MP to pull a decent snowshield off.

I think 20% would work?

Just personally I totally dislike snowshield for pure STR builds. Get a decent set and work some on the parry ratio on youre set and you dont even need the snowshield. Or work on youre bow, and just crit the feck out of everybody

That depends on what you're planning to do: are you going to be a support build or are you planning on going 1v1? Also Grasswalk and just Phantom are great for PvE, don't think about PvP/Farming until later caps.
Also I'm going
Hybrid Bow 85% physical
Pacheon 80 [only taking essential skills]
Light 80 [only taking grasswalk, and phantom]
then at the cap i will farm for Force 80 Maxed Light, and Maxed Offensive Pacheon.

[vital spots res, and the tranquility ring]
so you have the right idea only take essential skills then farm later

status effects. You can raise your dmg by almost 40%-60% by using vitals. Its scary

But by using that you tend to have to sacrifise something. Considering force gives you an MP passive, people tend to only use force with hybrid bows. So they can pull of a bigger snowshield.
