Should I change back to bowmaster?

I used to be a bowmaster before, until i changed job. I'm bored playing marksman, they are really repetitive. I want to change back to bowmaster, they have much better game play than marksman, but if i change back I will lose around 25k range. And I'm still hearing that some of the bowmaster's skills are still bugged. So should I go back to being a bowmaster?

@froogle: Magic arrows is 6.6666 which is not that hard. In addition, counting Magic Arrows over a long period of time is not easy. I am saying that in that entire video you can count ALL of the AFA activations if you wanted to and the chances that you miscounted would be very low.

@bluebomber24: Hmm interesting. I never paid much attention to that. But now that I think about it I can see each individual magic arrow with arrow blaster, which would be hard to do if they were really activating 8.5 times per second.

[quote=froogle]@airforce1 what's bugged about AB and MA right now? I wasn't aware anything was wrong O.o

But any ways yes you should come back to the BM side We actually have respectable DPM now and the play style is pretty dynamic because we have more than just 1 useful attack to use in 4th job. Plus we have utilities like reckless hunt, arrow quiver, binding shot and hook shot to make use of. We also have some short duration buffs like enchanted quiver and preparation that are actually worth using, so you can't be lazy and buff ever 5 minutes like some classes. Some people may find that annoying but I like it cause keeps you active.[/quote]

VERY low activation rates. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJpXJY56vWc]Video[/url] You can litterally listen and count how many times AFA activates. When have you ever been able to count AFA?

I'd wait until Nexon fixes the AB and MA bugs. Our damage is pretty lackluster atm, but we definitely have a more interesting kit imo.
