I decided to make an Archer today...i've wanted to make one but i always get bored >_> i'm hoping to actually lvl this time lol...BUT, my question is, should i go Speed>Power? I know Crossbowmans have higher Attack...they hit more, whatever lol BUT i know Bow masters (hunter, ranger, etc.) have speed...does their speed make up for lack of power in comparison to crossbowmans? sorry, idk how exactly to put this lol xD it's 3 in the morning for me so leave meh alone ><

Until 120, both Bowmen and Crossbowmen should focus on attack speed over power for higher DPM (and faster kills). Once you reach 120, however, each class focuses on one or the other: -Bowmasters should focus on power over speed, as Hurricane (their main attack) is a set speed. -Marksmen should focus on speed over power, as their skills still can benefit from the higher attack speed.

@ above tht makes sense, but i think wen he says choosing power or speed he means either go mm and hit more per shot or bm and hit more shots and my response is, its totaly up to you lol its completley dependant on ur playing style.

They're kind of equal, but BMs are stronger later on, just make what you like. and 51-70 is sooo boring >_> 70+ training is fun at WR (imo)

However, using booster, hunters are as fast as crossbowmen, and after big bang, Marksmen will shoot as fast as Bowmasters. So I don't think you can say Bowmasters are faster than Marksmen. EDIT: With Speed Infusion from buccaneers Marksmen are even faster than Bowmasters,

But i do agree. 51-70 was a killer. Every second you are at WRs is a killer. But once you get 21 AR leveling is really fast.

I'd say without being picky that they're both the same. I'm a sniper and i love it. Once you get booster, attack speed doesn't feel slow at all. The choice is totally up to you on which you'd prefer.
