marksman bossing

Ok I'm training my marksman right now (lvl 40 ) and i was thinking about funding it later since its pretty cheap but I heard they have problems with bossing and also Marksman Bryan had to switch from a marksman to a bowmaster to do some boss (I forgot?

From my understanding, do you marksmans boss with snipe right? But at lvl 195 u get the no cooldown hyper skill so you can't boss? IDK

[quote=xXMCheifXx]Marksmen have no issues with any bosses, they can even solo Dorothy with all the new time saving strats. I'll be doing a marksman kill eventually.

I switched to a bowmaster because my range is over 10m and marksmen cap out way before BM. Bosses are just faster as a BM and I have lots of other important things to do so I need to cut down on time where I can.[/quote]

Can you make a new gear video? I love seeing powerful dex gear.

[quote=nhan1st]Damage cap has been raised from 1m to 50m, it's going to cost a kidney and half a liver to reach that. you'd only need 100k range or so to solo normal gollux and czak. Shouldn't be that hard to reach.[/quote]

snipe damage cap is 400m instead of the standard 50m

[quote=bluesclues30303]Dorothy? I haven't even heard of that boss so I probably won't be doing that. So, marksman have no trouble with maybe max normal gollux, chaos zak, something like that? Sorry, I'm a returning player..[/quote]

Marksman have it easy at all modes of gollux because of our arrow illusion summon. We use snipe to boss, usually at range because of our amazing rangefinder passive that gives increased damage and %def ignore at range. However at hell mode gollux since we can't be at range for the final stage you won't be doing your full damage. The no cooldown hyper is 155 I think. Marksman have plenty of defense ignore, I don't think you even need a single line of potential and with at least the reinforced gollux set it should be enough for all bosses. We only have 20% status resistance base so some bosses like hard mode hilla can be annoying. Some people end up switching to bowmasters because marksman's damage cap is 400m (500m in the future) and it is relatively easy compared to other classes to reach that.

the part where u have to switch to do some bosses is true however im not sure how true that is after the patch because snipe delay i heard was gonna be reduced and cap was raised which should allow it to do all the bosses now. but in its current state its better to switch at BM after u can cap at chaos bosses with snipe

Edit: For the CD part..it just takes off the CD off snipe i believe and that wasnt really a reason why it couldnt do bosses..it was mainly the atk was slow and dmg cap was low..and some bosses have a ton of hp and are timed which made it impossible to kill
