Ask a Bowman Thread.

Could anyone give me a very rough comparison of the damage over time between a marksman and bowmaster, both with maxed sharp eyes, expert/boost, and storm/snipe and equally scrolled equipment?

Ah, I feel like my life culminated into answering this question.

I used my own Bowmaster with these equips. For the imaginary Marksman, I gave him a Neschere with 4 more attack than my Nisrock.

 Spoiler

Both characters are at level 162 (my level). I optimized their base STR, though. I lowered mine so that I could just barely wear a Nisrock without MW, and I lowered the Marksman's by 5 more for the Neschere. Of course, I raised their dex accordingly. Otherwise, I gave them both the same stats/equips. I used 2000 defense (Anego's real defense) for both sets of DPS.

The DPS for Bowmasters is easy. I calculated using 500 arrows a minute. The DPS for Marksmen was a little trickier. I took the average Strafe damage of my imaginary Marksman and had him do that 78 times and then added 6 Snipes (1 every 10 seconds for a minute) that average at 97000 damage (which is a number I was given my Marksman friend) to total 84 shots in a minute.
