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.
Just to reassure your last sentance there, it's still unconfirmed yet, but the delay for Hurricane might just be twice the shooting speed as before. It could mean hurricane could possiably shoot 16.6~ arrows per second, it might not. Maybe within the next week they might even fix it up a bit, since no ones tested or anything, maybe some GM's will do a private run through the content that was missed to polish it up.
I'm sure they haven't overlooked it, they DID make the game however, and missing a primary part of gameplay for thousands of players can't be overlooked that easily.
If anything we're probably on par with MM's and we don't even know it.
Right now we gotta go on a stinking hunch, which sucks because everyone will be like "SS or Didn't happen."
