Go 90 pacheon, 90 fire, 90 light, and 20 ice for mana shield. Or you can lower light a bit but for pure str, fire and weapon are the most important.

Yep. That's the bow build you would want.

Let me summarize: Pure STR, hybrid STR bow: 90 pacheon/90 fire/90 light/30 cold (use 20% snow shield)

80:80 bow - 90 pach, 90 light, 90 ice, 30 fire.

Both are fine actually for pure str, either you do better against str, or better against int, your choice. But for hybrid, people usually wear prot.

It's your own choice really. Both works well. Most ppl use garm tho.

Well... you can basicly 1-shot INT with a crit at low levels. So, I'd wear protectors. The extra phys. defense also helps against glaivers or other STR builds.

Personally, I prefer protectors all the way to the gap, BUT you can switch to garments from d7 onward.
