Decided On Bowman

So finally after all of the classes that I've tried I think that I want to play bowman.
Currently I have a WH, a BM, and a Merc.
Which one is
a) The Cheapest
b) Allows me to put out the most damage
c) Is the most fun to train/boss

That being said I plan on going all out in funding, getting Tyrants, perfecting a weapon, LGR and all that jazz.

@athmyst: It's a tad expensive to switch over and he won't really experience either class until the 120's or so.

@griffin8373: I have a 141 Bowmaster, and I'm having a blast. I've seen Marksmen play, and correct me if I'm wrong but all they do is shoot that arrow that hits several times and several mobs. Add hookshot to that, and that's Marksmen in a nutshell. Even though bowmaster's skills are glitched I've had a lot of fun. Using arrow blaster is epic. It allows for a lot of damage and fast bossing if you mix it up with hurricane. Although Arrow Blaster is glitched and only hits one enemy at a time but still, has high DPS. Arrow Stream is super fun to use and really flashy. Hit's 4 times for 340% dmg at max level (30). Enchanted Quiver makes us pretty much invincible for a short period of time, but if you recast it correctly you'll be able to tank things out. If you lock in Blood arrows, a portion of your damage will turn into HP and well, you'll be able to stand between mobs and not die. So far I've not maxed any skill. My skills are at 20, full RED set, barely 10% DEX and a 10 att Absolute Belt. My range is 20k and I can hit 70-80k per line with arrow stream. It's not great, but I can 1HKO mobs in Tyrenum and some in Commerci.

[quote=griffin8373]Ive been thinking about Wild Hunter, but having to be on the panther the whole time seems kinda weird when I'm playing on it. Anyways, thank you ^^.
I probably will end up making it Wild Hunter, but on the other hand I kinda wanted it to be an explorer so I can change over my nx and kin ring.[/quote]
Well, you get used to it after a bit of playing. Plus if you arent that satisfied with the class, you can switch over to mm since you would already have pretty much all the gear.

I would suggest going with wild hunters, they are a well rounded class - also has the highest hp out of the group
They're pree good at everything, yet not the best.

Bowmaster > totally not biased or anything <.< >.>

but seriously, Bowmaster's skills are glitched atm. (d/cs and such).

They do decent damage. Just slightly beneath Marksman.

Go for marksmen their fun and very easy to boss with and not hard to fund

A) Mercedes
B) Marksman
C) Mercedes / Wildhunter

Bowmasters are just there to flash some skills and do no damage (Everything is glitched right now)

edit: I noticed you left out Wind Archer -> It is fun, but the damage isn't as good
