Bowmaster or Marksman for Gollux?

Im creating a Gollux mule and I want to know if I should make it a Bowmaster or Gollux. I want to be able to kill normal Gollux atleast so I will provide the normal CRA gear + ~50% dex. Which one of them would it be easier to kill Gollux on?

I am a BM myself and so I would say BM, it's pretty easy to gollux with Arrow Platter and red arrows which would heal you the whole time.

MM is easier to train when compared to BM

So would it be smart to get to 155 as a bm and then switch to an mm? I absolutely hate the linear mobbing of mm so I would rather train as a bm

MMs have a higher DPM which is relevant when you're not capping. They both don't have elemental resist which makes the DPM comparison more reliable

MM, with that amount of funding BM will always have way less damage than a Marksman. Also you just need to kill one shoulder and abdomen just snipe from the corner of the map to avoid the attacks (Sometimes clear the mobs with pierce).For the eyes, just stick to the side that has no hand attack and snipe from the edge of the map to avoid the attack. The jewel is a piece of cake

Normal Gollux. So its 2 body parts killed. Marksman doesnt need to place illusion arrow for normal gollux

I would easily say marksman. Arrow platter is definitely useful for BMs, but the power gap beteeen the two at 150 I'd huge. MM should have no cd snipe, while bm may have a reinforced hurricane. With the new range of snipe, you are able to snipe from the portal at his head. Just kill the abdomen and the shoulder on the right side of the map (his left), and you won't have to worry about his hand killing you.
The eyes are a little bit tough, but at worst if arrow illusion isn't strong enough to take on one side, you just jump down and kill them with pierce, which has a huge horizontal range as well. I'm just telling you the sheer power gap between the two is major at that stage. Nobody can argue that with low funds, MMs can defeat bosses much quicker than BMs. BMs take much more to fund but have higher potential.
Tldr; arrow platter helps plenty, but the huge power gap between MM and BM at low funds is so large that arrow platter doesn't do enough yo compensate for that gap.

Bowmaster for sure. As others have stated, Arrow Blaster is extremely helpful during the Eye and Jewel stages.
