I can easily see how a 21+ Hawk/Eagle build could be argued back in the days before 4th job. Goby parties were pretty much all there was, and Hawk/Eagle was necessary to stun houses and bone fish. But nowadays there's little use for these birds because there's so many alternatives now. You can easily train at Gryphens, nearly all the monsters in the pure spawn maps in CWK, and Newties nowadays: all of which don't require any Hawk/Eagle.

And if you're about to say how Newties does need Hawk/Eagle, let me remind you that you can easily stand out of the range of Newties and still snipe both of the most commonly sniped Newties. For Marksmen, I see no reason not to go 15 Eagle.

Felix, we should have gay sex now. Get over here you.
