BM vs MM after KMST updates

I'm not sure because I've never had a cooldown skill on any of my characters other than the two beginner skills, both of which have no delay at all when cast. The question is whether or not the server's processing of not being able to use snipe due to cooldown would actually take up any amount of time at all between the two strafe shots that surround it in the macro (I mean tapping strafe snipe strafe macro continuously, not hold strafe then press the macro whenever snipe is available).

It does?:f6:

Looks like Dusk hasn't updated his dps thread...I'd like to see the numbers before I believe you. lol.

Still, its the KB and pinning abilities that make BM so much better than MM in bossing and even training.

As Quantact said there are reasons people play a MM. I for one like the look of Xbows and some of the skills we have are fun to use. I dont want to make a Bishop just for the sake of leveling fast as I dont care for the way they "play"(although making one for leeching purposes for other chars is inviting...I know a lv 180+ bishop who leeches his lv153 Corsair for 3x the exp an hour I get)...and NL dont really have any skills I particularly like or like the animation of.

I guess my beef with my MM is that all the skills we have arent really practical(I use that word again) or "awesome" for easy bossing or regular training...seems like all our skills are cumbersome and not suited or "great" for any situation one comes across in Maple...whereas Bishops, NL, Heroes or BM excel in a lot of areas with skills that are "made" for certain situations.

I'm about ready to retire my MM...

Well, that thread is kind of biased because it uses the exact same weapon scrolling. A 119 att bow is worth much more than a 122 att crossbow. The gap between marksmen with kMST updates and bowmasters is already pretty small even without speed infusion, this crossbow cheapness will close the gap in reality or even make marksmen's single-target damage exceed that of bowmasters.
