IF you re gonna be full int, i advice you to use Fire for main force (imbue) , spear skills ofc (Heuksal) and Cold.
About cold : Well as a chin nuker COLD is a MUST and you can t call yourself a nuker if you re not having cold force .
About fire ( and why not light ) : Well using fire you have more bonuses than using light. 1. First of all the damage - it s higher using fire instead of light, second bonus it s the amount of magic defence you get by using the mag defence skill, that is also something good, third but not the last one - the firewall, the firewall is good only for pvp , you can easly put ON the fire wall when pvping a warrior, a bower or a rogue and no more knockback, knockdown, but the fire wall its also good for pvping other full int chars or wizzards.
Few things about Light and why you should NOT use it :
Many ppl choose light because of the mag dmg++ buff and for the use of SPEED. Well lemme tell you something. When using fire - you ll have a bigger damage than using light + buff . And about the speed skill you shouldnt worry about that - when lvling you can use 50% speed increase scroll and when going in pvp you can use 100% speed increase scroll. And belive me using scrolls is not that expensive - you can afford it.
Well `nuff being said - i belive that you are motivated to do this so good luck in your journey.
Final advice note : Fire / Cold / Spear -> Full INT (ofc) - Protector Gear.
Good luck.

COMPLETELY NOT TRUE!! i will compare this little better:
light/cold vs fire/cold
1.
the damage - it s higher using fire instead of light - not true, the dmg is nearly the same. Fire has better imbue and better nukes but light has mag dmg increase buff - which makes things equal.
Light/cold build with magical damage increase buff makes use of cold mastery better = imbue + cold nukes.
That is really useful when pvp warlock rogue than you use cold imbue and feel the damage is nearly same as light imbue. You will say firewall is good than no debuffs, but rogue goes little away out of your range and buff xbow xtreme :P
In fire/cold build all cold skills are simply weak !! Don't forget light casts little faster than fire nukes and you have lion shouts that are really really useful in combination with nukes and weapon. Special feeling when you count hp of other player and fast cast lion shout and finish him.
2. Fire and magical defence buff and Firewall
All is very useful, especially Firewall (avoiding all debuffs, knock back or knock down) but light has also parry rate increase so less chance to crit on you and overall you receive less dmg. Firewall is also very useful when going uniques that have strong debuffs you can easier survive.
Nobody mentioned that with Fire shield and accessory blue you become resistant to freez, frostbite, burn, electrical shock or zombie.
IDK i was playing SS nuker fire cold and after i reskilled (@112 lvl) to light cold i was better at pvp with all chars. That lion shouts and light nukes and knock down is definitely more useful than slow casting desintegrate (not to mention enormous MP consumption from fire). Light nukes are little cheaper. Saves mp for snow.:rtfm:
For me change from ss fire/cold to ss light/cold was improvement.
