BM vs MM after KMST updates

So yeah, SI makes the Marksmen stronger. But you also lose out 1 attacker. Assuming the 1 target damage thread is reasonably accurate, Buccaneers do about 70% the damage of a Bowmaster. Meaning 5x Bowmaster party -> 1x Buccaneer + 4x Marksmen needs an extra 8% damage per Marksmen just to balance out the Buccaneer.

That's not exactly a good point because it doesn't always have to be about only dps; buccaneers can also offer 100% kb (barrage), mob control, and time leap.

But a stronger reason why that isn't necessarily a good point is that ranged classes are instantly made weaker at certain bosses due to the need for HB, while melee classes are not (eg. heroes). But ranged classes are still taken to those bosses.
