Full str and a high snow shield don't cooperate well.
High ice is fairly redundant for a full str cuz they can't use a high snow shield and they don't need the extra def.

A str char with ice imbue is annoying if they would fix the fire shield bug. Specially ice + fast attacks like blade chains or bow combo.

But in the end the speed and teleport from lightning is better than the ice for a full str.

the extra def. is really helpful against pure str. euros.. i see alot of fire/light archers try to phantom away..and end up still being dead..in cape pvp/pve..lol..alot of ppl do find ice annoying esp. euros..i like freezing them and slowing them down..standing in one spot..instead of having light to phamtom away..but yea, you're right..snow shield doesnt go well with pure str. :banghead: ill stick with this unique build and buy drug of wind for speed...what kind of bug is on the fire shield?

if you want to go ice, drop fire and up light.
i like ice too, love it when the opponent is not immune to it until at level cap when they pimp their accessories.
for mana shield, if you want to have to highest defense, you wouldn't even have enough mp to attack at all especially when a nuker nuke at you. Only use the last one for running away and the first one for pvp.

you can always get a low level snow shield if you want to, strong enough to take in dmg when needed. not much experience with using snow, though i've had a lot experience AGAINST them and it can be tough ">>.

BTW awesome build ^^, ice can really mess up everyone without immunity. pills can take care of them, but it takes a while to remove it. you might want to get some lightning though for phantom walk, though that's your choice ^^.

ideal for pure str archer in my opinion is Pancheon lv90, Fire lv90, Force lv90, and Cold lv30.
cuz' Force debuff let u hit hard make u immune with abnormal/weakening status with fire shield emperor.
go fo FORCE FTW.

this is my opinion, and im not saying this is the BEST.

QFT, Pure strs get ENOUGH phys. def/HP so why need more; I'd rather have greater mobility than run faster. Archers have to keep out of range from their enemies, so running faster is a good thing, no?
Can I has cool and awesome signature that everyone likes?

take light because mobility is one of the best things of a full str archer. He can hit from far away and run away if he has to
