What's with the XBowman Bandwagon?

Honestly, what's up with all the "0mg, t3h MM r t3h s00000 l33t n40" 999k per Snipe. Whoop dee doo. Here's my thought process. 999k = 1m 60 / 4(Snipe cool down) = 15 So that's 15m every minute, correct? BM's Hurricane fires 500 arrows per minute. 15,000,000 /500 = 30000 ...what? Considering % equips, wouldn't that make BM far more powerful than a MM? Anyways, so that's what I think about all this. However, looking back, I feel as though I'm forgetting something terribly important, which I probably am. Please correct me if you find something wrong with my thinking, because I doubt so many people would have jumped onto this bandwagon if it was this obvious that BM's would be stronger than MM's D: Edit: I guess the 999k per Snipe wasn't enough for some of you to realize I'm talking about post-KMST patch whenever the heck that's supposed to come out. I'm angry because there's already a bandwagon for something that is obviously not right. Yes. Post-KMST means % equips. There have been reports of BM's doing over 30k per arrow, and with % equips and the new damage formula, I believe that a decently funded BM can definitely achieve 30k per arrow via Hurricane.

wouldnt that mean bowmasters would need to do 30k per arrow?

Isn't this good in a sense? Perhaps it's a sort of defiance over the whole Wild Hunter thing. If you want to compare Bandwagons, say hi to the gunslinger one

It's kind of obvious that the only reason why they would pick Xbowman is that their "Unique" or because of the new "Balance" or someone like me who just loves the looks of xboxs (May he R.I.P). Hell some of them don't need to know the numbers, just the updates that "sound good".

999k is the damage cap, I honestly don't see how it's possible to hit higher than that. I forgot to add that I've talked to several MM and seen several posts on Basil regarding Snipe. Supposedly there's a glitch/lag with the cool down, making it more like 5 or 5.5 seconds per Snipe rather than 4.

With the new balance patch and old skills anyways, every darn class is a freaking bandwagoning thing. Get over it.

My most hated word on basil after "troll" is this.. why do you care what others are choosing as their classes?

You forgot to factor in strafe for the Marksmen which they use inbetween snipes which also greatly increases DPM.

Who cares. I made my marksman before this so-called "bandwagon" that everyone cries about and I love my character.

Honestly. I never said anything wrong with the class specifically, or rather people choosing the class. I'm questioning the bandwagon act itself. People need to think more for themselves, rather than what others are saying. This took me like 1 minute to figure out, while I was playing Maple. Not that hard. I don't care about what others choose, I'm just annoyed with how fast people jump to conclusions. Besides that, while I was browsing the Archer forum's, people constantly posted in BM or MM threads about the "999k per Snipe" thing. People on Basil are so quick to attack others nowadays. Don't call me a hypocrite because of this. I noticed this fluctuation in the what people were thinking a while ago, and waited to see what would happen.
