Archer rankings after reboot?
How do bowman classes rank after the reboot?
Wild hunters get more cooldowns and have a overall harder time to stack another bite as well as a small damage decrease on another bite.
Wind archers lose elemental reset but gain 50% boss, 10% attack, and like 3% more damage on single targets.
Marksmen only gets cast delay lowered :c but were pretty strong anyways until they start cap. Still a big issue.
Bowmasters get 25%attack, 30% more damage to hurricane, and 15% more damage to arrow platter as well as other nice changes. Very significant buffs.(also a armor break change)
Mercedes get enhanced gameplay with more skills linking.
I'm not a DPS calculator but:
Overall I still feel wh are on top especially the good ones who can maintain another bite efficiently and pretty noice balancing that brings most of these archer classes closer together in terms of damage but each with unique play styles.
What do you guys think about the archer reboot? Wh still on top? Still some changes need to be done?

That moment when Nexin ups the cap to 1 bil o.o
@hellonub132: You bet it does

The only class that really needs a touch would be WA. They need to make it more clear cut if Nexon's motive is to make WA a highly capable class in terms of mobbing, otherwise they're in lack of bossing stats (%ID, %Boss) to compete with the other archers.
If mobbing is to be their specialty.. then they need a vertical mobbing skill. At the moment they're only superior in the lateral direction.[/quote]
May sound like a dumb question but do your charts account for the atk% and damage% range buffs from passive/active buffs? Because classes like wh and Mercedes have like 100% boost to their ranges making more use of their % damage skills when having the same eqs as other archer classes.
Nice work BTW c:

BM also gained 30 att on Bow expert and the activation of armor break is changed
Wind archers also gain an additional 10% activation of trifling whim.

That's a significant HPS decrease if so.[/quote]
Wh, ryudes kaiser also lost hps as well.

Pretty sure bm are always at the top, then again, I plan to cap on platter
