I was thinking, what masteries should it have? Obviously Pacheon, but what else?

90 pacheon
90 fire
60 light
60 ice

90 pacheon
90 fire
60 light
60 ice
and protector

or

90 pacheon
90 light
90 ice
30 fire
and garment

Personally I don't think 9% phy buff and passive would add much more dmg than 3% and 3% + you'll have to delvl once the 100cap comes

I think I will use that build, thanks ^^. One question though, which imbue?

Light. But if you got enough sp get ice as well (my favourite imbue )

70:70

Light 90
Force 90
Pacheon 90
Cold 30
Protector

or

Fire 90
Cold 90
Pacheon 90
Light 30
Garment

Fire 90
Cold 90
Pacheon 90
Light 30
Garment
That's not good... Light at 30? What the hell? Fire doesn't add that much dmg... It's an INT hybrid after all

70:70 isn't int hybrid. It's just hybrid in general, if it has more MP, so what?

Lightning isn't essential for an archer, hence their range. Lightning 90 wouldn't be THAT great overall for the build. Unless you'd rather drop another mastery, then everything changes.

I'm not saying that 90light would be THAT great, but definitely better than 90fire. Light imbue is as strong as fire (ye, the looking at the numbers you might say that fire is a lot stronger but in practise the difference is very little for 70:70).

Light imbue is like 2 levels lower than fire imbue (fire imbue lvl 11= 583-971; light imbue lvl 13=522-970) and you loose the phys buff with a build that crit a lot. My char is lvl84 hybrid bow with more str than 70:70 and even for me the increase on damage due to 1 lvl on the imbue is clearly noticeable, so if you use an imbue 2 lvl lower on a build with higher mag balance than me you will notice a much higher diference. The point of discussion it can be if 90 pacheon 90 fire 60 ice 60 light has enough defence to survive on pvp, but you can't doubt that this build has higher damage than 90 pacheon/light/ice, even when is a int hybrid.

I prefer for this cap 90 pacheon/fire 60 light/cold, because with this build I can still kill glaviers of own level(even now that I switch to garment), but I didnt try 90 pacheon/light/cold. The build that I seriuosly doubt can be effective is 90 pacheon/light/force because in that way you have a char with low hp and 0 defence. In my opinion str or hyb str can work with force very effectively but if you fail the impotent status or if your opponent pill it, you will die too fast to use your high damage.
