Xbow Class differences?
I recently found a 5 piece Empress set for very cheap including a crossbow (Currently with 2 RED scrolls landed, 8 slots double hammered) and I'm trying to decide between WH and MM. I see so much bonus att in the WH skill set, but literally no WHs. Is there something else I'm missing that makes MM a far better choice for a new main? I started a WH just to see how a mounted archer felt (which is definitely unpleasant on a really short monster if you are using richochet) but I'm not so completely in love with it that I wouldn't restart as a MM if there is a glaring gap in power.

Well I think I am going to level up a WH to 4th job to get a feel for it, but not actually use any of the empress gear until after their update to see if they can hold a candle to MM. I prefer their attacker/offensive supporter than MM as a straight damage source with SE. I'm also kind of attached to my new Snow White.
Now to just get over the fear of throwing another RED scroll at the Emp crossbow. (Currently 5 RED scrolls landed, double hammered, 5 slots open)
WH if you find it fun to be on the jaguar. They have a ton of new things.
MM for spam and damage
pick your choice.

as strong as MM and other bowmans in term of damage and mobility
they get triple jump, vertical movement skill and a huge boost in damage (mostly single target damage)
ricochet is also buffed so that you can shoot small mobs
At the moment WH is far below MM and BM.

atm, WH is overshadowed by adventurer bowmans, but the next buff should put them back to their spot
Wild hunters are not bad by any means, but it's just that they're overshadowed by the other two hurricane bowmen. Also their mobbing sucks as I hear. I've never played one but their utilities in the next update do seem pretty neat. They get some shooting direction lock that allows you to aim one direction and move another with wild arrow blast, and a diagonal leap.
Marksmen's huge % on Snipe just kind of blows things out of the water 1v1, and pierce is a great mobbing move.
Basically Marksmen overshadow WH in the xbow department, and Bowmasters and WA overshadow them with hurricane.
