Ok. So I have a level 30 Archer waiting with Athena for the job advancement, and I just can't decide which path to take. Crossbowmen: -Cheaper -Freeze in 3rd job -Snipe/Blind in 4th Hunter -bows look awesome -expensive -Hurricane! Tell me what you think! EDIT: Now my only problem is the fact that Crossbows cover up nearly the entire character.

Pre-Archer. Edit: Being biased since a while; Crossbow.

being a level 80 ranger and knowing i would never get to 4th i regretted choosing ranger, xbows are ALOT cheaper, they have a natural bonus (damage range formula) and arent that much slower

Who cares about looks. Just wear a bow as a marksman when you AFK. -Crosses off list- Looks like Marksman wins 3:2

Deathtrouper : all the way to 120 and marksman still use strafe when bow masters get hurricane >:O But they get 90% Mastery and +10 Weapon Attack, not to mention Snipe. o-o

Snipe can be used on bosses, but it doesn't 1 hit KO. It hits for 200k every single time, for every 5 secs(or whatever the cooldown time is in GMS). With the improved snipe, MM have nearly the same dpm as bm. Besides, MM are also better at mobbing because of pierce, which can deal upwards of 150k when maxed. The only thing MM lose out the most is for pinning bosses
