Archer class

[Krisq]

Hi guys, i've recently been thinking of switching to an archer class due to the expensive cost of gear for NL. Have a few qns:

How does WA and BM compare? With roughly 50k+ stats. I knoe that WA is slighlty more mobile and n have slighlty better mobbing? Not too sure about the last point. However with regards to bossing, which would be better? And what are the pros n cons of the 2 classes compared to each other


Thank you for your time !

having both a WA & BM mule, i would say that WA is much better in terms of mobbing, simply due to their Song of Heaven skill, the crystal that draw mob attacks, and trifling wind.
with regards to bossing, i think Marksman is the best among the 3 classes of WA, BM and MM. you can use your hyper skill to reduce your snipe CD by 100%, allowing you to spam it. i have a guildie that has 58k stat (buffed) doing 5.2T dpm.

Marksmen are def NOT the better bossing class of the 3, there's too many factors that come into play for them to be viable distance between the player and the mob being the biggest for maximized damage iirc.

With what you said in-regards to WA's being the better mobbers due to their SOH skill, Gem & trifling wind. You're missing out on some of the most important parts that makes WA's a great mobber, namely Howling Gale. The "crystal" would be useful against bosses as it draws attention making bosses such as Lotus / Damien extremely easy (I'd say WA's can clear these two bosses alot earlier than BM's & MM's atm).

In terms of bossing, WA's have the higher end of the stick. They have a good microburst, with consistent DPM (Song of Heaven).

All archer classes are less useful against flying bosses (Lucidp2) but against P1 and P3 all three of the classes are prominent attackers.

BM's have ok bossing, underwhelming mobbing.

MM's have great mobbing, and eh bossing.
