Bowmaster or Wind Archer?

Which one is a better bosser? Arrow Blaster x2 seems pretty strong but all the random flying arrows from Wind Archer also seems pretty good

On a side note: Is Arrow Blaster (active) + Arrow Blaster (dropped) > Hurricane + Arrow Blaster (dropped)?

@BrutusKahn: bowmasters require much more funding to hit decent numbers, wind archers are up there in dps charts so you'll have a much easier time bossing and mobbing for less funding. just look up a wa skill list and compare it to a red bm skill.

1. Final Attack/Advanced Final Attack only activates on initial attack when utilizing Hurricane or Arrow Blaster.
2. Armor Break doesn't work as described on skill description, it rarely activates when using Hurricane or Arrow Blaster (considering each arrow or volley of arrows from these skills count as one attack).
3. Using two Blasters still d/cs people.

Very pretty, simple and strong.
Bowmasters are too but they're very glitched atm.[/quote]

Biased but wind archer!
Very pretty, simple and strong. We're getting a really good boost soon too.
Bowmasters have decent dps too but they're very glitched atm, meaning they're missing a lot of their dps.

@BrutusKahn: I'm curious about this too. Maybe it's because Trifling Wind III shoots out 4 extra arrows at a 50% rate? No idea

If you don't mind me asking, why? I too would like to know the answer to this question and was curious as to what the big difference between the two are.

When BM glitches are fixed it will be alot better than WA. But for now it would be WA.
