Well recently, I've made a bunch of characters from brawlers to gunslinger to fighters to sins w/e. Anyways they have all been boring for me, except the gunslinger it was decent. Now I've decided to give archers another chance, since I haven't made one since I started ms. Which would be better? List reasons. And funding isn't a problem for me. I can always merchant if I happen to run out.

If you can make it to third, and you like fire, and fast attacking choose Bowman If you like to take your time, and strong attacks, and ice choose CrossBowman

I would chose bow because they're faster hence better.

depends on ur likes and dislikes lol. i would choose xbow becuz it cheaper but it a bit hard to find xbows sometimes and bows a bit more common then xbows in the fm...

Hmm, I like the looks of bows, but crossbows are indeed cheaper, and stronger. I'm just not sure what will be better later on, like in Zak runs or w/e.

They're both good. 2nd job - explosive fun or wall-peircing fun? 3rd job - fire or ice? 4th job - speed or power?

Make a xBOWMAN: They get SE, high 1v1 damage, cheap powerful weapons, and they can even mob unlike BM's. Not many people are xBowmen so you can be unique as well, you can ignore those people saying "you used to be a failed experiment so you're still sucky" or whatever because with the new updates, MM are very strong. They also beat Rangers in 3rd job because bow and xbow speeds are the same and since xbowmen have higher weapon attack and a higher damage formula, they rule =P

seku said: "xbowmen suck. go make hunter/ranger/bm." Then why are you one?

If you like speed and bossing, choose BM. But its the worst job for exping. MM loves mobs and dmg, but they sux at speed.
