Are marksmen outshined in mobbing?

Whenever someone mentions mobbing, marksmen never comes to mind. It's always mages, aran, evan, and dual blades. We know that marksmen are really good at mobbing with pierce, but we are never mentioned when people talk of the best mobbers. Either we aren't good as other classes at mobbing or we aren't as well known so they don't think of us. What do you guys think?

On a single attack, i am willing to bet that marksmen pull of more damage than other classes with the exception of arans 12 mobbing and magician's ultimates. The sole issue with this is that pierce must be charged, so other classes get more attacks executed in the time of a pierce. With the new updates and even faster pierce charge time, this gap (although low) will be bridged or even broken.

^That's mostly offset by Pierce's ability to be charged while walking/jumping/climbing ladders and partially reset by the necessity to gather a mob with DB. [quote] arrowsneak : We're balanced. We can't mob better than Arch Mages/Bishops, but we're better in 1v1 than them. We can't 1v1 better than Bowmasters/Night Lords/Corsairs, but we're better in mobbing than them. Pretty much we can handle any situation given to us (well except Pink Been, but all the best 1v1 classes also have a problem with HP as much as we Marksmen do) [/quote] Also Sniping Pink Bean in certain situations will cause it to run you over.

[quote] ImKafei : Marskmen have poor mobility compared to Magicians, Arans, Evans, and Dual Bladers. Pierce is also has a VERY limited path of trajectory. I think they're still really strong mobbers, especially at places like ToT since all the platforms are flat, which is good for Pierce. [/quote] I don't know, I don't think we have poor mobility. Sure not as fast as Teleport nor Flash Jump, but we usually walk around with 140% speed, which is better almost all warriors right off since we don't need a monster in our path to use Rush. Also Pierce has very little down sides on the way it is. Sure it can only go forward and can't bend, how many high leveled maps can you think of have slopes like Watch Out for Icy Path 1 (Jr. Yeti map). Pretty much none, we aren't hampered by map layout until more maps that have slopes and dips come out, and they happen to be good training spots.

I Do agree with marksman bieng excellent mobbers, in ToT i would believe were better then arans as well due to the flat platforms. Marksman can have total control over mobs with the Simple DB+Bliz then pierce away and the mob would die in 2 hits or so, something an aran would not be capable of without an 100+ which ruins the whole purpose of people saying Pierce has charge.
