im gonna go against the crowd here and say go pure int. pure int bow is an extremely fast lvler, lightning nukes and strong bow hit about the same damage, u pull mobs toward you with the mind bow and nuke till they die, mind bow, and lightning nukes a long with soul arrow skill that increases your range, i barely have to move. with ice def buff and light parry ratio + snow shield you dont get hit too badly, its chinese so you have no pot delay anyway, and also if you wear heavy armour you can tank like hell on ANY mobs. ive been teamed by 2 giants and 4 or 5 other mobs and STILL survived.
pure str bow is a great char, but i feel thats for people that love to see high crits. if you want to hit near critical damage at all times and have a better overall damage output with minimal moving for lvling then choose int bow. even in pvp int bow does exceptionally well i'll post a couple of vids.
i liked this vid for pvp, there are tons other that dont spam ice shield like that

i dunno ive used both and i liked bow a lot better. nothing is the best build tho, u gotta know how to utilize ur char.
edit: pure int has crits just like pure str, ur overall damage is better. instead of seeing low hits and 1 extremely good CHANCE hit, you see extremely good damage at all times and even better chance hits. choice is def up to u
