Which is stronger and why?

Are Bowmasters or Marksmen stronger damage wise?

Thanks

@nikeball123: Okay, when I said that I was thinking 400-500k OR MORE. Hence more = want split hurricane.

[quote=MyTiramisu]MM beat Bowmaster by a bit pre-195 (overall; I believe BM bossing is stronger or equal, MM mobbing is better) then post 195, MM beat BM in both bossing and mobbing by a lot. However, if you're pretty well funded and can hit about 400-500k an arrow with split hurricane upgrade, then BM wins. Of course this changes back to MM winning by unlimited.[/quote]

You wouldn't want split hurricane unless it hits over 600k.

Marksman has higher damage multiplier than the Bowmaster. Either class can be fun, but when it comes to damage, Marksman are the powerhouses of archers.

@MyTiramisu: Split hurricane does absolutely nothing to your damage unless you can hit cap without it. If you hit 400-500k with split cane it's exactly the same as hitting 800k-max on normal cane. Split cane is only useful if you can hit more than 50% of max damage per line with it.

MM.

Bowmaster is more fun to me though, I grew fond of hurricane-like skills. And never want to play my MM ever again.

Now a days at least: Marksmen cap a lot more easily. The downside until unlimited is that once you cap, you pretty much hit a stopping point (although you can prepare for unlimited/ boost your summons damage/ true range has a 100mil cap).

Post unlimited, if you want to hit as hard as those marksmen/ bowmaster in kms do note that you'll need over a 1.3-1.5mil range given a 3xxkish range only means you'll hit about 2.5mil a hit with snipe; 600kish would entail only a mere 5milish (mere given those vids of marksmen hitting 20-40mils per hit at least ).

Short answer: MM... because they do more damage.
