The Bowman Class
Most of the bowman's now are very similar; having a hurricane-like skill, but which do you think is the best Bowman created? I think Wild Hunters are the best for bossing and Bowmasters / Marksmans for mobbing.

This is ridiculous.
Mobbing has several categories and arguing about one specific situation (F/SDH) is not grasping the full picture.
[b]Linear mobbing[/b] (F/SDH): WA. Funded or not, you cannot forget about her. She has the highest pure %/s by far out of the archers with her hurricane like skill also being able to mob.
[b]Vertical Mobbing[/b] (Soloing KD4 or just medium sized maps in general): Depends on the size of the map but I would give an edge to BM (purely because turret lasts longer).
[b]Large Map clear[/b] (Warrior Grounds / Scrap Yard): Mercedes. Mobility is a key thing when it comes to large maps.

@iamshorttt: well time limited classes are kinda rare to see =,= i mean zeros have been only released 3 times compared to the non timed limited classes
@ihurtzlotz: I dont see many funded zero mains, so i dont include them. There's like 5 at most in grazed, and only one person sells cra/mag
@iamshorttt: why kaiser.. theres other classes which 2-2 clean is hard like zeros.. since they dont rely on buffs but pure dmg %s
@ihurtzlotz: hi im in the 1%, if u cant get past 2-2 clean ur not funded unless ur kaiser.
[quote=iamshorttt]Lumis are extremely slow in attacking, most funded class can out ks a lumi equally funded.
BM gets ksed if he cant 1 shot[/quote]
one hitting on a BM.. is like WAY more range than 1 hit on a lumi =,=
@ihurtzlotz:
A class that's not solely designed to mob but has potential to hold a map compared compared to classes that excel at mobbing? Fair comparison much.. Bms are by no means the best mobbers of all classes in game. That doesn't make them terrible just because they aren't the best. If anything, a bm's niche is that it has a dps mob skill that can fully cover tiny maps. Sure, to make the most of any dps classes' capabilities, you need insane funding usually but the tradeoff is better coverage against ksers with faster one hitting attacks. They got lumis beat at sh (only looking at sh as lumis are much better at more spread apart maps) in my opinion because lumis main mob skill is slower. Same with blaze wizards. Wild hunters also have good fast mobbing skills and are also up there with good fast attacking mobbers that have great coverage.
Funded bms (by funded I mean with enough funds to one hit with casted platter) mob better at sh than marksmen which goes against what the original post said because bms can cover the entire map when marksmen cannot. You can't call a class a "horrible mobber" when it has the potential to cover an entire map with high speed attacks that make it hard to ks. At sh, which is typically the end game map for most people, bms are very solid mobbers.

I believe Wild Hunters are far superior for mobbing especially training since you can run and attack at the same time.

Every bowmaster here is saying they are wonderful mobbers, but that range is attained by .05% of the population.
The pyramid scheme is crazy
[quote=ihurtzlotz]@betaboi101: NL have slower atkers than bowmasters.. as the reason why capping BM is still slow is because even u hit how much the monster has with ONE arrow.. if the mob isnt RIGHT at the turret it will take mutiple hits even if u one hit to kill it as the dmg... now if u compare to other fast hitting classes such as WH or NW maybe pierce MM if u one hit.. its pretty hard to ks using AP[/quote]
Even if the mob took multiple hits and the kser is able to get an attack in, you'd still get the majority of the exp when you hit first and do enough damage to kill it <3
Not to mention you can attack in BOTH directions at the same time and more or less attack the entire map.

Lies. super funded bowmasters that one hit with arrow blaster and summons can ks most other capping classes at sh. Cast a blaster one dirraction, attack with blaster in the other dirraction, have a one hitting summon to kill mobs in between = RIP sh map <3
Source: Managed to ks a capping nl out of sh when he tried to steal a friends map a few days ago

they used to be horrible, but now they're actually pretty good. arrow stream has really good vertical range and you can jump cast it, which makes it wayyyyy more useful than a whole lot of other mobbing moves. i think mobbing mobility is really underrated.
Marksmen don't have a hurricane-like skill.

best bowman is the bowman that caps
