Marksman or Wild Hunter

So I decided I wanted to main either Marksman or Wild Hunter. I'm unfunded(like 100mil) so which one should I be for like bossing and end game?
I have the Empress Crossbow already.

Well hard... If you like pure damage not gonna lie wild hunters are probably the best at that besides their really low hp and how their skills are mostly close range on 4th job

Wild Hunters are looking pretty good with their recent updates and the upcoming ones. Why not just make both and create a set of shareable gear between the two?

@Business: you should've seen some of my more stupid arguments.

But seriously, everyone worries about the future so much. This game is probably the only thing in your life that you know about so far ahead, and I can tell it stresses you guys out.

@fradddd: Fly is less than at maximum 4 months away and could be as less as 2.......I mean, that update is RIGHT after RED.

@fradddd: Your ignoring the FLY updated.

Wild Hunters get triple flash jump.
Wild Hunters get a vertical jump through White Flash.
Wild Hunters still have high speed.
Wild Hunters destroy pretty much every Archer in bossing mobility primarily because of [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAITQ-F4pfE]Drawback[/url]. Trust me at the Chaos verisons of Pierre and Vellum and bosses like Magnus, that skill is godsend.

In regards to shooting further, I don't see why this is an issue. The majority of WH skills propels them towards mobs and they have superior mobility than MM. So that is balance if anything.

@bluebomber24: Dude...all Wild Hunters have is high speed and a whimpy flash jump.
Marksman get flash jump, hook thingy, and vertical flash jump in RED. Plus they shoot farther because 4th job Wild Hunter skills are all close range besides Wild Arrow Blast.

[quote=fradddd]Try both. They're both getting a revamp, with Marksman getting a huge one with RED. It'll make them stronger and more mobile than Wild Hunter.[/quote]

Stronger? Debatable. More mobile? Definitely not.

Which ever class you like better.

Doesn't really matter. It also depends on what you consider end-game bossing. Most end-game bosses are out of reach for a large % of the population.

If your mobility survival coordination is poor I would recommend WH though. Bosses are becoming more mobile and WH have an easier time than MM.
