WA does not have 50% damage reduction. They have 20%.
They also do not have a 60% dodge rate.

hmm i didnt wanna spread false information =/ can you explain what the skill 'featherweight' does with its 'Damage -30%'? i always assumed its a damage reduction that stacks with emerald dust, although its phrased differently.

[quote=BoBoBo]hmm some of you say that MM survivability is much better than WAs, but i think they are pretty close! MMs bubble gives them 60% reduction at max and WAs have 50% damage reduction. since they should have about the same dodge rate (60% with maxed skills), i guess they are pretty much on par when it comes to survivability. Never had HP problems with my WA and hes lvl 173 now, definitly my favourite class [/quote]

MMs also have another 20% damage reduction from Illusion Step. Not to mention higher base HP.

I main mm and have a 180 WA, and I can say that MM is in a pretty bad place right now in bossing compared to WA

Wind Archers require a lot of funding, especially if you're going for cap. MM skills look pretty boring after awhile..

Wind Archer all the way!

My main is a mm and I like the fact that they are pretty good in damage wise for minimal funding. I have decent funding and so far bossing and mobbing are pretty darn good. But WA has great flashy animations.

Preference on flashy skills: WA
Bossing: MM in general, WA if ultra funded
Mobbing: MM
Survivability: MM by a long shot

WA
p2s

Both are good.
Wind Archer will be a lot harder to train compared to Marksman because Marksman have heaps of damage reduction + pierce.
They're both good at bossing and mobbing though.
Just choose the most aesthetically pleasing one and you won't regret it.

Aesthetically, I believe Wind Archers take the full win on this. They have beautiful aesthetics combined with great damage, as Marksmen are repetitive and monochromatic (golden skills are ewhy). Both are great at bossing and mobbing, and can have the upper hand depending on situation. As far as defenses, Marksmen are slightly better since they have a barrier, but with puppet and high avoidability, Wind Archers aren't far behind. Don't be afraid to try both!

marksman is good at bossing and so is wind archer
i think wa is a little better at mobbing and they have about same survivability. flashy skills goes to wa imo
