Marksman end game bossing capabilities

Hi,

So I've finally reached the end game where bossing becomes a lot more important. I still mostly have mid-late gear equips and haven't invested that much mesos into end game gear. Now I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to start funding my Marksman for bosses. In the old times, Marksman would've ruled the bossing scene. However, as Nexon has shown with RA/CRA, newer bosses are tending towards more dynamic and movement-based bosses as opposed to sitting-around-holding-attack bosses. In addition, they have introduced more constraints like potion cooldown and lethal crowd control that increases the importance of survivability.

Can any marksman who has experienced end game bossing tell me how durable marksman are in a bossing run and whether you guys regret funding MM or not.

Thanks

Queen, von bon, and pierre are all a joke if you have enough DPS.
