Considering changing my bowmaster to marksmen?
Hi guys, I was just wondering if it would be horrible if I changed my level 16x Bowmaster into a Marksmen? What are some of the main pros/cons of each? :x
The reason why I want to do this is I want the extra 3% crit from the character card lool. But im wondering if id be sacrificing much by doing this switch at 16x since MM's hyper for unlimited snipe is late 19x I believe? Thanks!

[b]MM[/b]
Pros:
Good mobbing class
One of tankiest if not the most tanky archer
High PDR
High Damage
Cons:
Unstable damage
Lower avoid than BMs (you trade in avoid for higher crit damage)
xbows cover your face
[b]BM[/b]
Pros:
Can easily outdamage MMs if you hit cap
Drain (really easy to recover HP with Hurricane or Blaster)
I think someone calculated in the archer forums that BMs have the highest HPS/one more than phantom
100% status resistance. I don't know if this is a visual glitch but it says that I have more than 100%.
Cons:
Harder to fun (bows are slightly more expensive)
Can easily die with damage reflect
Mobbing is average at best
Oh whoaa! Okay thanks xD I guess i will switch over c;
Marksmen have great avoid-ability, are strong hard hitters that are great for lesser funded players (or pretty much any player that isn't ridiculously over funded). The cons are that snipe has a shorter attack distance than hurricane (meaning you need to get used to attacking closer which may be lethal at certain bosses) and they pretty much switch between snipe and pierce as their main attacks. Marksmen are solid heavy hitters but don't have the speed or versatility that bowmasters have. They are almost like your typical tank/ spam class.
unlimited snipe is at lv 155
if you don't have a good bow, then you wouldn't lose much range by switching to MM. but you have to max out all your skills again
