If you consider any kind of pvp or group action, any int build without cold is out of question. You need at least %40 snow even you have 33-36k hp at 110 lvl.
Light = %19 mag buff + hi dmg imbue, With fire,have some powerfull nukes + highest imbue, + %22 phy buff.
So decay or weaken is useless, since it wont deal extra dmg when compare ur build agains light or fire.
You will only rely on impotent/division/stun for 110 cap. So say you hit 10k with cold, you will hit 15k with division. If you are on light, you will deal more than 13k dmg cuz of mag buff + imbue. So the dmg difference will be far from impressive. Impotent+stun may help your survival, tho ur dmgs wont be nuff to kill many against well played builds.
So from my point of view, even it sounds sterotype, force is for str or heavy str hybrids.
Force/ fire or light / cold was great at 9d. It just cant have nuff to kill/survive after 9d. Force is great helper in any group actions, i give credits tho. Yet i'd go for hybrid cold/light/heuksal or fire.
There are guys like int bow + cold force or str bow + cold force. As i said they just lacks something more than str weapon/fire/force builds.
A STR force bow can kill a blader in a short time, which a warior/cleric cant for 10mins. Yet it will restrict to 2 masteries against cleric sub euros.
So you may go for int cold force, but dont expect much.
