If it's 70:70, I think ice with lite makes the most sense. Fire works with STR because it maximizes the phys damage. If you're already compromising the phys damage by going hybrid, I'd say lay off the fire completely. Ice is great for bow. With the freeze/slow and at range, even grinding on orange you don't get touched. With your snowshield on and phantom, you're pretty strong in PvP as well.

if your going 70:70 wouldnt you want to have both phys and mag damage boost from fire and light?

[Pandaren Brewmaster]

But i also want the snow shield
Do you guys know if theres a huge dmg difference between lightening and ice imbue ?


To the ppl voted for 90/90/60/60 fire imbue :
What to do at 100er or even higher lvls ?

[nicolasvc2]

i am not realy into hybride bows but i tink FIRE 90 pacheon 90 60cold 60 lighting wil be best
40% absorp is good enough
and 59% speed aint that bad and Fire is best imbue so fire 90 and pacheon ofcourse it needs to be 90 lol(i would wear protector witht his u got enough mag def beacus of fire already)

[Pandaren Brewmaster]

dude,
i dont wanna reset my whole fire if lvl 100 cap comes. Pls think about that too.
Sro dont ends at lvl 90.

[Waffelz]

Mmmm, I'd go Bow 90 / Fire 90/ Light 60/Ice 60 /(Fire Imbue).

But really, I'd go / Fire 90 / light 60 / Ice 30 /. ( Yea i don't like to SP farm. )

[Pandaren Brewmaster]

Mmmm, I'd go Bow 90 / Fire 90/ Light 60/Ice 60 /(Fire Imbue).

And what to do for the 100 cap ?

[Waffelz]

Not sure really, I wouldn't beable to get that far lols

[Tasdik]

For 100 cap since you seem to like ice just go with
100 pacheon/100 ice/100 light

Or

100 pacheon/100 ice/70light/30fire

I'd personally go with the 1st one but thats just me

[Pandaren Brewmaster]

Yeah i decided to go 90 light /90 ice/ 90 bow / 30 fire and wear garment.
For 90 cap i will skill light imbue and at 100 cap, when the ppl are freezable again ill swap to ice

[doomas]

90 pacheon, 90light, 90ice (light imbue)
Having fire at 90 has no sense, because this char is considered as an INT hybrid (1:2, but with a little bit more str), so phy dmg inc just doesn't add that much dmg, and fire imbue has pretty much the same dmg as light + light has electric shock thus allowing you to hit max dmg more often. As for the ice, you definitely need it at 90, since you're an int hybrid you need the phy def buff&passive (+264 at lvl 90 - you think it's worth having ice at 90? ) def and ofc the snow shield.
The only thing I like fire is the fire shield, otherwise it's pretty useless.
P.S You can have both imbues, since cold imbue is pretty fun to grind with

[Pandaren Brewmaster]

Thx 4 your advice guys 264 phy def. is really nice
Im going to reskill my fire in like 2 months, when ive finished my farming and tell you how its working

@doomas: i should take garment then, you dont think so ?

[Waffelz]

What's so special about 70:70?, I made a char thats 70:70, And my Hp sucked. And Mp sucked.
Also, Should i go ice/light and skip fire? ( With this build? )

[muyo]

i thinki this build is interesting...have it once before but losing to both int and str(normal 70:70 mean balance )

im thinking on switching back from spear to bow and get ice/light. for unique hunting and plevel my low level character:P

[doomas]

Personally I would use garment... with every build That's because I like garms a lot. Don't even consider armor - armor is worthless piece of sh...
You should have 2 sets (starting from 8d to 9d, when REAL pvp begins), for 70:70 I'd recommend prot AND garm, depends on what build you're fighting.

[Pandaren Brewmaster]

2 Sets are kinda expensive Ill stick with garment i think.
A friend advised me to go 90 ice/ 90 bow and 60 light/fire 60 to have more mag. def and phy. atk power.
But then i need to take the ice imbue. Some ppl say its not much weaker then light and other say 'dont take it, u will be so weak'.
What do you think ?.

[hapnz]

I had ice and fire maxed at lvl80, and the total damage difference between ice and fire imbue was about 5%. The difference would be somewhat bigger if I didn't have fire buffs maxed.
For 70:70 bow about 2/3 of damage is magical and 1/3 physical.

I would go 90light, 60ice, 60fire. 60ice for 40% snow shield is enough.

(ps. when the snow shield ends.. RUN RUN RUN !! )
(pps. at 100cap when bow gets 6 arrow combo, spamming kb untill snow shield is up again is no problem. ^^)

[doomas]

1 maxed mastery > 2 half maxed masteries
And what the hell are you going to do with 39 extra mag def at 60lvl? Not to mention the annoyance of when some buffs end before others. Of course you can take whatever you want, I'm just saying that I'd take 90pach,ice,light (fire 30), and it's better in my opinion...

[Pandaren Brewmaster]

Oh, just 39 extra def. Oo Thats kinda useless yeah.
40 % snow shield would be enough yes, but then i wouldn't have the 25x extra def. of ice
Just 6 % more dmg when i have fire at lvl 30 or ?
