I had a 7x Str ice/light bow, i never found myself in a position were i needed to use snow shield as being str i had alot of hp to deal with high hits. so you don't really need snow shield or ice, i think everyone basically needs light too, unless you want to be wasting money on speed potions.
I'd say Pacheon/light/fire would be a good build.
the fire imbue is the highest hitting so that's a bonus.
