Marksman or Bowmaster

Bowmasters are better at single targets and Marksmen are better at mobs, just as the difference in 4th job skills would imply. Currently the game is more biased to Bowmasters than Marksmen.

Both classes train at a very similar speed during the endgame because Skeles are so slow and neither class has any difficultly killing them (Bowmasters don't need freeze because they typically kill Skeles before they are hit by them). If a map such as one like Gobies were released with higher level monsters, Marksmen would definitely be on top again. At bosses, Bowmasters are more desired just because they kill faster, however, there are exceptions when they're being knocked back so much that it would be better to attack with 4 arrows of Strafe than just shoot of 1 arrow of Hurricane and have the stream interrupted. The only example of this would be at Horntail, particularly before the tail is killed where you'll see BMs using Strafe instead of Hurricane. NLs are where are the damage comes from in parties though, so what will be much more important is your survivability (HP). As for soloing bosses, Bowmasters are clearly superior and I doubt I have to go into any detail with the time results of solos showing this many times over. Anego/Pap/Pianus/Zak/etc. don't hit often enough (or in some cases not at all) for it to impact Hurricane enough that Strafe is better. And since Marksmen only have Strafe and all of the bosses are single targets for the majority of the fight...well, the rest is self explanatory. I'm sure Snipe being increased to 200k would make things a little more fair though. I would say just choose based on if you like mobbing or picking things off one by one, since that's how they seem to be divided.

Mob or single doesn't really matter, once i hit 13x, i would like to start solo'ing bosses, so i guess i should go with BM? I like the freeze of MM though.
