Ua Marksman or Regular

After reading on stuff, I found out that Wind Piercing will receive a drain effect.
Will making a UA Marksman be worth it?
Currently my Wind Archer is 85 (was to lazy to train)and my Sniper is 72.
Thanks

EDIT: Does Wind Piercing get a Drain effect after the Unions Advance ?

@Unitarity: It's far too slow to be considered usable. The only reason Wind Archers use it is because it gets buffed from Wind Walk.

I think you might be better off as a regular Marksman and save ur UA creation for another class.
Most people create a UA for the special skill and alot of players stop using those special skills after 4th job or even earlier o.o

Irena's wind piercing doesnt have the drain effect sadly.

And in union update there's this quest that allows you to regain the hp so you'd be a normal adventurer.

MAKE A UA <3

[quote=pinoy242]you are correct that wind piercing is quite stronger than Piercing Arrow until it reaches about lvl 25.
however it is a significant amount of hp that you are missing.
if you can live with the cons of a UA, it will pay off
UA marksmen have the potential to be stronger but have a harder time getting there imo[/quote]

[quote=twopointonefour]Skill doesn't have much use past 3rd job. Pretty detrimental to both Archer jobs.

Also keep in mind, you have less HP and less inventory slots compared to a regular adventurer.[/quote]

Hm.. but doesn't Wind Piercing surpass Pierce until Pierce reaches like 20?

[quote=Unitarity]yea but is it worth it?
... peridots are a pain, right?

even w/o the drain effect is it still worth it?[/quote]

Irena's Wind Piercing has a drain effect? I thought it was only the normal one that gets it.

Two bloggers said there's no change to Irena's WP unless they changed it just recently during Justice or DB revamp?

Make a UA since they get that buff and you start a character from lvl 50
