Would it be worth continuing my BM or not when Big Bang arrives? Currently level 131.

I suggest you continue it. Unless, you want to try your hands on a Wild Hunter. I heard that Wild Hunters out damage BM's by a bit.

I say any class is worth continuing. Just stop worrying about damage.

They're worth it entirely... ...until Wild Hunters come in and do just over double your dps. My friend quit his BM just for that reason. It was crushing. There's no reason to even make a bowmaster anymore unless you really really like bows.

Why would you play a class that is basically overpowered by another. I'm not talking about things like aran > hero, evan > mages, whatever. That doesn't apply, because the original classes still retained their "unique" skills that didn't get replaced. But wild hunters virtually have EVERY skill a BM has, and more! The only exceptions are inferno (replaced by better mob move anyway), phoenix, and the ability to 100% crit for one arrow after a 20% dodge (WH still has this 20% dodge mind you). Wild hunters still get the 200% hurricane and all the other skills including: - HB which the bm does not have - stance which the bm also does not have - concentrate's 35 att replaced with 30% increase dmg (meaning it stacks with attacking potions and apples!) - automatically 12.5% higher dmg due to crossbow multiplier being higher - ability to move during hurricane and any other attack for that matter (if you didn't know, bm's can't) - ultimate - flash jump If that alone doesn't make a bm worry then that bm needs a math lesson. With those buffs a WH can EASILY do more then double the damage of a BM. If you still plan to play BM after the big bang, then 1) You better REALLY like moltres, and 2) You better REALLY love the fact you don't need nx to get your skills (I doubt GMS will pass on the opportunity to monetize WH's, even if KMS can). I mean the most a bm can do is run the "nx-free" thing in the wh's face. In pretty much any other way, WH would utterly destroy a BM. What kind of boss run would pick a bm over a wh of the same level, a wh which can do double the damage, hb himself to stay alive, and also give SE? Seriocly. Don't play BM's now. It's a terrible idea.

Nerverfo1 is right. Hunters>Rangers>Bowmasters are soon to be obsolete. At least bows will be cheap

Even if WH were to outdamage Bowmasters, it's the same as saying you'd rather play a dexless sin and look ugly rather than a reg. dex sin. In all honesty, play what you enjoy.

Wild hunters look stupid to me.Seriously,a jaguar.Come on.They are a disgrace to the bowman class. Nothing about them seems related to bowmen and xbowmen. Continue your BM because it is a unique and original class.

[/quote] I'm sure some people would say WH look better than BM's. Better looks, more damage, levels faster, serioc who won't play? (Hint: It starts with "people who don't have N-")
