[quote=iPurple]you should see the MM skill SnapFreeze Shot. Most stupid name for a skill imo[/quote]

But at least they get another mobbing skill in 4th.

[quote=xDracius]The reason I don't like Bowmasters more is because Broiler Shot.
Pathetic name, pathetic skill.

It feels gimped to have a 3rd job skill used still in 4th job as a main skill.
Evans sometimes use Earthquake past 120, but it's more of an option than anything.[/quote]

I haven't enjoyed my ranger since they removed PKB as a skill. It completely changed my playstyle, and I hated it. So that's why I stopped playing archers.

[quote=Cursarius]Correction: Other classes are like them, which is really sad.

I honestly can't ever think of a good reason to use my BM instead of my Sair.[/quote]
likewise, I don't see any particular reason to suddenly switch to a sair instead of my BM.
most classes are like other classes now... and if you're one of those folks who plays a class solely for the purpose of being unique and special and hipster, you're not ._.

@Pheonixsblaze: that was a good movie

OT: that feeling you have for bowmen is the same feeling other people have for other classes

[quote=DragonHaQ]@qwedsa87:Before Mercedes came out, every archer you would see was a BM haha.[/quote]
truethis, with the exception of the wild hacker proliferation post bigbang/pre ascension. like 6 out of every 7 archers was a BM.
but for every class, like 1 out of every 30 other characters was an archer

[quote=DragonHaQ]@qwedsa87: BMs have NEVER been the least played class o.o Before Mercedes came out, every archer you would see was a BM haha. If anything, MM have always been the least played class (ever since hurricane came out) and although BMs are not played much these days, you should how many there were a bit over a year ago.[/quote]

[quote=DragonHaQ]@qwedsa87: "Always" is a bit of an overstatement o.O. More like the previous year.

OT: I think the real reason is that Hurricane can't compare to other "RF" types of skills, like the Sair's, Jett's, and Phantom's RF skill.[/quote]

hurricane + afa is actually better than RF + (pirate version of AFA)
and hurricane > ishtar ._. under 500k ofc.

the only thing that makes them better is those damn buffs

Barring maybe pirates, we have always been the least played class. Although this is speaking out of 'only' four years of experience. Hunters were slightly above f/ps and pages, crossbowmen were probably at the same amount as f/ps and pages though.

[quote=EckoLeader]Let me start by saying hackers love Evans, I mean they just absolutely adore them. Also, Bowmushro0m wasn't saying all mercs are die hard archers, he was sarcastically commenting on the ridiculous bandwagoning of the mercedes class and how a large percentage of the people who made and use mercedes weren't archer fans before said class was released.[/quote]

@nhan1st yeah it was nothing at you xD it was just the irony of a merc calling someone an archer bandwagoner. i can't say anything about you specifically.
btw, dawn warriors were bandwagoned during the resistance patch. them and mech. not battle mages and wh's xD

well i made a marksman before the hyper skills and stuff were annouced. Heck, I didn't even know anything about the updates and such because it was when i recently returend to maple. I'm still loving my marksman though, It is pretty fun to play on it

also there's a pretty huge bandwagon on evans as they're loved by hackers and they're loved for pvp purposes.

[quote=nhan1st]Not sure if sarcastic, but I made a BM when mercedes came out in Nova. I only quit my BM because I found their mobbing skill Broiling Shot slow. I love playing class with good mobility rather than damage. That's why I don't play warriors/cannon shooters. Anyways, I've stopped playing my mercedes for a long time now and moved onto Evan. I'm sure there's no bandwagon for evan now are there?

Edit: Here's a list of class I played throughout my Maple life since 2006 if you're curious.

Pre-BB class.
Bandwagoned class: Dexless Sin. Class I played: F/P Mage

Post BB.
Bandwagon class: No clue. Class I played: Hiatus from MS

Resistance Patch.
Bandwagon Class: WH (Icy hackers), BaMs (PG hackers). Class I played: Dawn Warrior.

Legends Patch.
Bandwagon Class: Demon slayers/Mercedes. Class I played: BM (New start in Nova)

Champion Update.
Bandwagon Class: No clue. Class I am playing currently: F/P Arch Mage, Evan.

Please do tell how all mercs are archer diehards when I am a Mage die hard?[/quote]

[quote=nhan1st]OP stated he love bowman "now" meaning at time time only. I doubt you'd love before you heard of the hyper skill revamp to BM. From my eyes, I see you as a bandwagonner.

Edit: The bowmen classes includes Mercedes too. I'm sure there are plenty of Mercs running around. Why don't you change it to, "I love Wild hunters now"[/quote]
