Bowman

Bowmaster or Wind Archer?

In terms of bossing, damage, and training, which class excels the most?

What class is superior in bossing?
What class is superior in training?
What class does the most damage with the same funding?

Thank you.

[quote=Norcadem]I was under the impression that wind archers are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes archers.
The only thing they excel in is mobbing and the added mobility of Wind Walk.
iirc they have pretty poor scaling and in terms of hits/sec they're the second lowest, only behind Marksmen (for obvious reasons).
I guess they have ele resist, but does that really matter if you cap? which i assume you do since you're asking about dorothy.
What wind archer does have however, is ease of use... i guess...[/quote]

Elemental Resist ignore just makes it easier to cap.

@carlyxox: A wind archer would still be able to kill Dorothy but it's far easier as a BM since they have blood arrows (heal while attacking) as well as a superior h/s. WA's advantage of ignore elemental resist doesn't apply at Dorothy either since she doesn't have ele resistance.

[quote=Rachelll]WA>BM unless you want to
1. Destroy dojo
2. Kill dorothy
3. Fund past 25k dex (250% boss, 60~100% atk, 90% PDR,etc)[/quote]

With the proper funding would a wind archer still be able to successfully kill Dorothy? Or would the lack of dps compared to bowmasters hinder that? The reason I ask is because I know from the rankings you do runs on both your bow master and wind archer.

Bossing: Debatable; because too many variables, and your question is not specific enough.
Mobbing: WA; because math.
Most Damage: In what? Mobbing; see above. 1v1; BM because math. And yes, I am saying that best damage =/= best bosser necessarily.
