Like all the other classes, it really depends on how far you plan on going. But seeing how you've made every class except for a bowman, and you plan on making a 'pretty godly' one, I'm just going to assume you're going for 4th.
Marksmen don't need 'godly' equipment to be very powerful. While they don't really have a new attack like Bowmaster's Hurricane (Which usually isn't maxed until during 14x anyways), they're still the best bossing class and can pretty much tank it at any place they can survive at. Snipers also get to take advantage of Blizzard during 3rd job, which is really helpful in training, along with Frostprey in 4th; both prove to be more useful than a Ranger/Bowmaster's Inferno/Phoenix.
Plus, scrolls are all below 1.5m, and 118+ Crossbows are only around 650m. It'll be a lot easier to make yourself powreful if you take the Crossbowman route.
