I think most MM (Chameleonic4 aside) are currently content with our place in pre-big bang GMS. Kincking and screaming since 4th job? You can't tell me marksmen didn't completely suck balls until some more recent skill tweaks. 15 second snipe @ 99k damage? A joke. 3 second pierce @ 850% damage? Pathetic. Being stuck with strafe without anything but lolsnipe to augment DPS? Not exactly amazing.
However, with 5 sec snipe @ 200k damage, respectable. 1 second pierce, groovy. MM are good now. Not the best at any one thing, but good.
The big bang balance patch might take it a bit far, though, I do have a desire to want my class to keep up with the buffs that everyone else is getting, but I don't feel it's fair that ultimate strafe is as strong (potentially stronger with SI) than hurricane, AND 999k snipe @ 10 secs to augment damage, coupled with a VERY respectable 1150% Pierce @ .9 second charge time.
Basically, BM definately need a buff before this hits home.
