Hello Basil! I've been trying to decide between a Bowmaster or a Bishop. I like Bowmasters for fast attacks, strength, and bossing. But I also like how bishops get into bossing, training parties and speed, and money saving(making). So I'm asking you basilers, which would you recommend? And for what reason? Bowmaster will be low/normal STR, and Bishop is going to be lukless

BM way more fun w/o leeching old fashioned way. Bishop=heal slave until 4th job but i argue and are criticized if membe of prty dies because u lag. Not fun w/ or w/o leeching and if you dont leech ur supposed to start himesing when u have 1.2khp+ and you have to continue this for like 50 lvls...

I'd sayyy Bowmaster. Personally, because I'd be too bored gen-ing the same monsters for hours on end.

Considering you already seem to have a NL, I'd go with the bishop.

BM's would be better for bossing..bishops are only accepted at like HT and PB now a days..

Well, if I find the class fun, I''l stick with it and get to 4th, no matter how boring training is. (Besides, I can always get some leech, it wont be hard)

bowmans are very boring 1-70. youre likely to quit before you even reach 3rd job and the same goes for mages. you should try CB;s/Shadower. probably the most fun and their skills are very useful. i.e. you can start killing rogs at lvl 80ish because of meso guard. :]

I became a dexless Nightlord to rid myself of that problem. [Edit] And, I would probably have horrible control with a CB. Spamming TT/Avenger ftl?

Honestly? I'd vote to make a bowmaster, not that I'm biased, because I've played on Bishops several times.. There's too many bishops nowadays, and it's much easier getting into zak/cwkpq as a Bowmaster, as everyone wants SE. Everyone wants bishops too, but considering there's so many of them.. you're better off making a BM.

I can't afford to HP wash, so thats a problem...I want to have the HT experience (by experience, I mean going on a run, not the exp from killing), ya know?
