Advantages & Disadvantages of your job.

Lv147 Marksman

Pros:

• Sharp Eyes. Keeps us from being completely useless.
  
• Ability to freeze. Throws Puppet and Eagle off in usefulness early and easily. &Frostprey is sexy. Incredibly useful even at Lv1.
  
• Ranged.
  
• Snipe is somewhat useful. Though by the time MM decide to level it up, they can do 100k in 2 strafes.
  
• 90% mastery is really nice. BM's have this luxury as well.
  
• Cheap Mastery books. But they're only inexpensive because nobody wants to be an MM, thus demand is low.
  
• In second job, Iron Arrow is better due to the recent upgrade.
  

Cons:

• "What's a Marksman?" ...
  
• "Why are you using Strafe? Use Hurricane!" ...
  
• HP is a peach. Needing to sacrifice 20+ AP points to stick into HP or spending money to wash to even be close to having the HP needed.
  
• Strafe is slow.
  
• Strafe is really all we get until 200.
  
• Several of our attacks just go in a straight line.
  
• Pierce isn't good. 3 second charge and risk of disconnecting. Takes 7 levels of SP to even begin to be worth using.
  
• Glitched to hell. [This can be said of both archer classes]
  
• Pathetic at bosses.
  
• Hearing the sound of your own Strafe is disgusting.
  
• Annoyingly low DPS.. anywhere.
  
• Can never find decently scrolled crossbows. The few there are, are usually monopolized by people higher up..
  
• Crossbow shooting stance makes picking outfits frustrating. :<
  
• Crossbow blocks the face.
  

I'm probably forgetting like, a lot more cons. =3=;
But there's the general idea.
