1:2 stats... I assume it's 1 STR : 2 INT.
This build is close to a common bow build: the 70:70 bow build (70% physical and 70% magical balance). It's pros are high damage (Demon arrow + Strong bow combo releases plenty of damage in a short period of time) and long range. Also, it has knockback arrow, which is a lifesaver.
The downside of the build is that it doesn't survive with ease without snow shield.

makes me wonder what 5:1 would be like

A man once said, "Fear is contagious". So then the same must hold true for courage.

What are the pros of an INT s/s when compared with a blader? Well of course it's much higher dmg
Same goes here... The more int you put, the higher your dmg is (chinese chars)

1. arrows (cost)
2. i find i use a fair lotta mp pots
