Err.. yeah. As title says, I'm so demotivated to keep playing my Sniper..
Bowmasters absolutely own us, with their fast Hurricane, and can KS us whenever they want, like Bishops (well, a Bishop owns even a Bowmaster, but w/e).
Yeah, it's probably not fun to play Maple just with pressing a button (Hurricane), but people say that Marksmen are so boring.. maybe they're right.
At the same time, I don't want the work of almost 2 years gone. I've done all quests do-able at my level (except killing HornTail, and things like that), and it wasn't no easy work at all. Not all quests were so easy. And since I'm a crazy quester I'd need to do them all again on another character, and I don't really feel like to.
I've got decent equips, but no "pro scrolled zhelm" or "incredible 12 dex earrings" or "uber godly crossbow 120+" or "12++ gawdly stormcasters", etc., so that's another thing that demotivates me.
I'm also poor. I only have 40m. Well, they're a good amount of mesos, but I'd like to have more so that I can buy some better equips (9 atk work glove FTW).
And yeah, sadly, I'm starting to think that Marksmen REALLY are boring. No level 200 Marksmen in all GMS and most high-leveled ones quitted (170+).
Yeah, nobody can stand training a Marksman because it's too boring.
We're not wanted at bosses. Yeah, we have SE, and then? We don't have any fast attack like Bowmasters, they outdamage us sometimes (because of their speed) and if there are enough SEers in the run, we're not needed at all, for anything.
Maxed Snipe's cooldown reduced to 5 seconds? Snipe's damage cap removed and 199k damage every time? I think that won't help. Bowmasters will still be better, because they can pin any boss with their Hurricane, we can't. We will be using strafe forever, even at 4th job. And also, our strafe is slower than Bowmasters' one, so we are very slow and can't pin any boss like Bowmasters. Another reason because Marksmen suck.
We do more damage? Well, that doesn't help. Bowmasters almost do our same damage, expecially with strafe, and our damage is just A BIT higher.
So yeah. New contest. The first one to give me a good reason to keep playing my Sniper gets a cookie.
