Ever build has its pro's and con's.
let me sum some up for you ^^
- A pure str blader:
Pro's
is really hard to kill for close to any build.
Will get status effects at level 73, division, bleed, impotent.
Con's
Has a low damage output.
Is slower in grinding
- Pure str bow:
Pro's
Does good damage.
has long range.
Grinds pretty fast
Gets stun/knockback at level 76/73
Tanks pretty well against most builds.
Con's
Cannot kill bladers because you need crits (bladers have crit parry on their shield

)
- Pure int s/s:
pro's
Has high damage.
Has long range.
Grinds fast.
Gets status effects at 73.
Can tank well during snow shield (if you choose to upgrade ice).
Gets anti phy (aka castle shield), life saver for 15 seconds

Con's
gets killed easely without snow.
Low hp.
(so you basicly need good gear to be able to survive well)
- Pure str Glavie (Glaive now >.>)
Pro's
Lots off HP.
Can tank pretty well.
Has Stun, Dull, and knockback.
Con's
Slower grinding.
knockback has a lower propability, so canceling others skills with stun/knocback to regain your hp requires some more luck.
-Hyb int spear
Pro's
Fast grinding.
High damage output.
Gets stun/knocback/dull.
Hard to kill during snowshield.
Gets anti mag (aka fan storm).
Con's
Easy to kill without snow (also depends on how heavy you go hybrid).
Sensitive to crits (because off low hp and no shield)
harder to choose if you will go Force / Cold / or fire, (because you will need heuksal and light, unless you go pure nuker which i dont suggest >.<)
Good luck @ picking a build

if you got any questions left you can always ask em
