Full int bow is OK and fun but not that good for pvp... Since you're questioning about pvp I'll say "stay hibrid str"

Pro's:
Good dmg output.
Strong bow and Devil Arrow hit as hard as nukes, but have a further range.
Best solo build for sure. Int + range of a bow.
Great at this and later caps (if I need to explain this send me a pm)
Great attack rating and since your dmg has a big range it's uber.
Combination of most succesfull masteries: Bow needs range, light gives that, Int needs ice, your build takes that. Light for str is almost useless but for your build it's very usefull

Cons:
Hasn't got extra surviving skills: S/S has shield + castle shield and Heuksal has it's passive + alot of stuns, sure KB can help, but it won't kill.
Can be a pain in pvp if you don't know how to play it.

Soooo true haha. My bow is currently 66 with 20 levels of int, and it flys through levels becaus of the dmg added by the int and Piercing force skill.
At my level of INT, I can still have issues with Pure STR chars in pvp. Just have to be skilled, which im not haha. I need work on my pvp style with bow xD
So my final say, Hybrid STR is great, but there is a limit on how much INT you can have.
