Marksmen vs Challenging bosses?
So it's a given that any class can take down zak, pap, etc.
I'm wondering about arkarium, chaos zak, chaos ht, pb, empress, the bosses with decent rewards.
I was considering getting my MM to 195, and don't say the zomg you'll never do it!(This would be my third 200)
I'm just wondering, after I have the dmg of a 0 cooldown snipe, will I survive enough to even be able to use it?
Is it worth it?
For example I have an evan that has the damage to slaughter chaos zak/ht, but i die 50% of the time to seduce...

to me this sounds like a bandwagoner.
however GL getting 195 first. once then you can start to make threads...
i boss just fine, get hero's will for Seduce, also use a familiar that recovers hp/mp overtime, ( mutant snail for example).
Also if you can get your hands on some nx, auto hp/mp, auto allcure helps.
in future updates we'll be able to solo ark, right now we can't, Chaos HT is very disappointing i expected more of a challenge on that one and then you have the drop glitch.
Chaos zak isn't that hard, adjust your tactics.
Also about your dmg question, i'd say the more dmg you do the better. "kill or be killed" Snipe's damage outpus is enormous. it will help alot of you boss.
Well, I have 15k hp with max spirit link.
But sh mob hit me around 7k or more, you need to pot after every shot lol </3 but maybe it'll be okay after you max illusion step.
I can tell you about Czak and HT from experience others not so much.
At 180 with Epuppet out I can survive 80-90% of seduces at Czak, about 60% at HT if the tail is up 95% without tail. 1/1 puts me at just over 3k hp allowing 1 major hit and alot of lower(summon ect) or 2 1/1s. This is complimented by my high avoid which at these bosses causes a good 40-50% of hits to miss before applying Illusion step. Also the empress set I use reduces seduce duration (status duration - 20%?).
I can solo Czak if I get lucky/bring 1 wheel (most failures come from the left / right swap debuff causing a sexy body hit). Ht I need a wheel to ensure tail death then I can almost afk....
I have just under 15k hp.
Yeah, i quit my marksman a few months ago because they're survivability is too bad. I can't even stronghold because I die in 2 hits, and I can't charge piercing arrow because I would die before it would get charged, so I always had to use blizzard in SH instead.

Getting to 200 isn't hard at all. Just playing during 2x events, you can easily do it in a month
3rd 200? How about going outside instead
Yea survivability and what everyone else says. It's most evident at Empress where every boss hits HARD and pot cool down wrecks you. HT is also bad due to the map hazards plus the frequent 1/1's. Arkarium hits almost every class like a truck not just MM so hes like a special case.
Illusion Step and Elite Puppet vastly improve your survivability during seduce if you don't already have them. I think Nexon broke IS dodge for MMs again too? idr
The rest is getting hp from equips/skill links and improving your damage so that you kill it more quickly. Status resist from DS card, willpower, and potion will make you pretty invincible.
zomg you'll never do it!
Our survivability is very low, but seduce and not carefully looking for dmg reflect will kill me everytime. It also depends on your equips of course, my xbow is the only thing scrolled and i still have a difficult time at some of these bosses
