Thinking about funding a Bow Master

SO to all you funded Bow Masters out there it would be greatly appreciated if you could you tell me what range and/or amount of dex I'll need to..
1. Solo all endgame bosses (excluding Lotus)
2. Cap with hurricane (1 line, then 2 lines)
3. Cap with platter on bosses
I'm not too familiar with the class since I haven't played it but it looks really fun (plus you get a hookshot)
Thanks in advance!

Its hard to attain perfect capping on all bosses. But you do cap somewhat occasionally due to the trigger of Armor Break (It ignores all pdr and does extra damage at the same time) dependent on your range of course. The reason you can solo a lot of bosses without capping with hurricane is due to the high amount of h/s of a bowmaster. And make sure you get the split hurricane hyper because unlike before where it split into 2 hits and reduced damage to 50%, it now splits it into 2 hits as well but only reduces damage to 65% of the original damage, which is an overall 30% increase in damage (15% per arrow).
With highly consistent capping (with split hurricane) on Chaos Vellum, @dazl was [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPYWWSz1z_Y]able to solo in about 5 1/2 minutes.[/url]

But soloing endgame bosses is a different story I'm guessing, with BM having so many hps, we'll be able to do that at even 15-20 m per line on hurricane (split) at like a 2-3m range

I'm at 22k dex and no I am not capping with hurricane yet. But idk I don't have single line hurricane. With our hps 2 lines is more then 1 line damage.

Not recommended using single line hurricane. Split is always better.

Ah I see. So basically soloing endgame bosses is just 2m2m or a little higher, while capping double line hurricane is a large increase in funds required (probably around 30k dex), and I think I've realized capping platter is much too ambitious of a goal. Would this mean I'd be capping a single line on most bosses (maybe not cvel and such) at around 15k dex? Also, is 90% pdr enough or should I be aiming for higher (92-95). Thank you a lot to all that replied!

i have 289% boss 111% attack 95% pdr and 35k dex. Cap on everything with split hurricane with normal buffs. Had 5 epic adventurers and was able to do 75mil on normal lotus. My turret does about 30-40mil on c vell depending on buffs.

previous post is pretty accurate.
I have 256% boss 105% atk and 92% pdr 30k dex
Do about 44-50m on gollux each line of double hurricane. Cant remember what blaster does but probably like 30-40m.
Can solo cvellum in approximately 6 minutes if i get a perfect run. i avg about 7-8 minutes

1.Solo all endgame bosses (excluding Lotus)
If I remember correctly I was a bit over 2m-2m before I could solo every boss. Keep in mind this was before hurricane split and the 40% dmg boost from reckless hunt. I can't tell you accurately, because it was a totally different experience from what it is now.

2. Cap with hurricane (1 line, then 2 lines)
I don't really remember what it took to cap with one line. Arrow blaster had pretty much replaced hurricane for awhile so I pretty much transitioned straight to double hurricane. How do you want to cap? Mobs? Bosses? End Game Bosses? I cap on regular mobs with hurricane almost 100% and all bosses up to cvellum 100%. To be honest capping with hurricane on everything is a fools errand that I rashly pursued. It's a goal that will consume you. To put things in perspective I have 92% PDR 100% crit 60% min- 95% max something like 230% boss 32.3k dex and 111% att from potentials. My att:boss dmg ratio is pretty skewed. With those factors in mind, I still don't cap more than 70% on cvell with dual hurricane. I usually hit around 45m-50m. I plan on getting more links and character cards, If I do that I should be capping 100% before reboot. If you turned a fourth of my % att into boss you would cap on cvellum with my stats without fail.
3. Cap with platter on bosses

If you still want to pursue this after reading the requirements for capping with dual hurricane on cvellum, you are braver than I. If you wanna cap on czak with arrow platter it's no problem, but if you want to have a contest of strength with a 300% pdr giant you are going to have a bad time.
