1. They are both just as easy to fund as the other as they primarily use the same equips. I think price wise bows cost quite a bit more than crossbows but other than that difference, they are both relatively easy to fund I think.

2. They are both fun in different ways. Marksmen have a lot of avoidability skills and if you consider it fun to see big numbers I suppose that marksman is the way to go. Bowmasters have more speedy type of attacks and have more of a variety of skills that you can attack with.

3. Marksmen are currently powerhouses and with insane funding can potentially take on the majority of bosses in game. Bowmasters have a ton of versatility. They have more fast skills and more methods of game play that you can toy around with.

4. Marksmen can seem a bit stale if you're not fond of spamming a single attack. They rely on snipe for single targets and pierce for mobbing. Snipe also has a shortish distance compared to other range attacks so you have to be cautious when bossing at times. Bowmasters are not known for their damage. A lot of people make classes for damage incentive or so it seems on the majority of these threads. Though bowmasters have numerous dps skills, they are not by any means your phantom or kaiser (Phantoms steal bowmasters arrow platter skill and steal dark chains with it meaning they get an additional 100% boost of damage. Kaisers wingbeat is currently glitched to hit 42 hits in a ridiculous time frame. There is a new sword in the oz questline that enables an extra hit per attack. Right now, a kaiser with said sword will be hitting 8x+ times which bests the attack speed of a bowmasters arrow platter. Though this is completely irrelevant to the bowmaster branch, players that make bowmasters mainly because of dps potential should probably be aware of other options as well).

I'm just glad this thread isn't between XXXXXX and Wind Archers.

Easier to fund would be Marksman.
Fun is based on what you find fun.

Here we go again.
Do you have no common sense to use Google? Or (if you really, really had no other option) Bing?

I'm glad people are becoming curious about the Bowmen and the community, but seriously, I think this question is posted every week or something.

OT: I've played both and I really can say you can't go wrong with your decision.
