Some Question about WHs and MMs

I really am torn between making a MM or a WH. It seems that WHs have much better 1v1 damage, and much much more HP. But MMs seem to have amazing mobbing skills 3rd job+, and great passive skills. I cant make up my mind, I really dont want a WH, but MMs seem to have such low HP, and i enjoy bossing.
So my questions are...
Does WHs HP boost's stack with HB?
How do MMs survive Bosses? (Puppet?)
WHs have the "attacking form" of puppet called monster trap... How does this work?
Why is Mine not worth maxing?
What buffs does swallow provide?
How Fast is Sonic Boom compared to Pierce?

Thank~

I would rather a marksman because of many small reasons. But they're all mainly for personal preference. For example, i'd like to see my damage and It's very hard to when using wild balkan or hurricane. with strafe/ult.strafe its much easier. Also, I'm more of a training type rather than bossing. I don't like the fact of seeing thousands of me every day when wh's come out. Considering you have a 140 dual blader I assume that you like new classes so I'd say wildhunter for you.

You know there's going to be some 120+ resistance class before a week has gone by.[/quote]

Well of course 1-70 is a breeze, and 70-120 has gotten a a bit faster. Some people in KMS get to lvl 70 in a single day.

Puppet does disappear once it takes too much damage, it has a total HP of 6k, but it takes around 20% the damage you would take from the same attack, so it does last a while, plus, since it doesn't attack it only gets attacked by whatever you aggro'd (and if it's out of its range you can lure bosses really easily and killing them is a breeze, good examples for this are the ToT bosses and royal guard)

Well that means Whs can get like 130% HP.. Lol...
Also how exactly Does Puppet work? If it takes to much dmg does it go away?

I really don't know much about WHs, but I'll tell you this:
I love being a marksman and even though my hp is kinda low I do get a lot of bossing done, plus, training as a marksman isn't as repetitive as other bosses (imo), since you have a plethora of skills at your disposal when getting rid of enemies (heck, I even have friends who like to watch me train because it's entertaining for them).
My advice is that you should do whatever class you like the most as is, you can take care about the details later (plus, hp isn't that big of a problem, having +10% from rex +10% from zak + lots of hp from here and there, and auto HB you can reach a decent amount easily, or you can even wash)
