Hey guys I know a thread similar to this has already been made, but I really need a question answered here. I'll give a scenario: Ok, Lets say that there are two people. One Marksman, and one Bowmaster. They are BOTH at level 200. They both have the exact same equips, with the exact same stats. For their build, they put in the strongest possible build that would pay off best at level 200. You can say they are pretty much identical. So here's some questions I want answered, and I want them answered NOW! (lol, overly dramatic :P) 1. Who is better for bossing? 2. With Onyx apple? 3. Who is better for mobbing? 4. With onyx apple? 5. Who has the better Damage Per Minute? (DPM) Alright guys, I know you know this! Your a smart community, I've seen those intense math questions on the chat forum :P Thanks!

For the mob, lets just go with whatever the best mob would be to train on at level 199 :P you just pick one. Also the equips don't matter I dont think, they would have identical equips so wouldn't it not effect their damage outcome?

[/quote] If the bolded part were true, the Bowmaster would be better since it has faster attacking speed, amirite? But I don't think the bolded part is true, doesn't XBow give more attack range to Marksmen than Bow gives to Bowmasters?

BM has slightly better DPM without an apple then MM, but with apple BM destroys MM completely. I think BM and MM are equal when it comes to training.

It is funny since this is something completely theoretical. You have to get to 200 first, even then there aren't as many level 200's, less of those aren't mages. But I would say a Bowmaster would out damage a Marksman 1v1 at 200 hands down. And you should know about with an Onyx Apple. Snipe is unaffected by it, so only Strafe and Pierce is affected by it, Bowmasters would get more use out of an Onyx Apple.

[/quote] Isn't there a skill that was confirmed to make the outcome of the speed of attacks from marksman, the same as from bowmasters?

The amount of arrows we fire is slower than what Bowmasters can throw out. Our arrows do more damage and then Snipe picks up what ever damage gap we have between their Hurricane and our Strafe.

Well if you think about it snipe stays at the same damage the WHOLE time the only thing that changes is the cool down, so since BM are faster- lvl120 MM is better lvl150 MM is better lvl175+ BM is better that's my theory

Honestly neither class is better than the other since Hurricane = strafe/snipe and this is with or without apple and thats the truth
