Choosing between 3 clases. Help

Hello, so I have around 30b (a little more) and I'm choosing between a Bowmaster, NL and Wild Hunter.
Bowmasters seem to be quite powerful and I like seeing a lot of numbers.
NightLords have been my wet dream since I started playing this game and saw Kuraisora's video, I like the looks, but not sure if NW will be still better after the revamp (jump+attack).
Wild Hunters are kind of meh, I'm linking the fact you can have your jaguar as a summon now and I definitely like their DPS, but honestly I'd choose this class mostly for the dmg, which I don't know if will be better than the other ones mentioned before.

Oh and also, since I don't have a lot of money, I was looking for a %dex class 'cause I think they're the easiest to fund (?)
Thanks.

Of course not. The only class I haven't played is BM... I might make one, but I'm worried about Link Skills. At the moment I have a 173 Shade (not for the link skill, but 'cause I wanted to test it, It's fun lol), Kanna, DS, DA, Zero, Beast Tamer, Angelic Buster, Phantom and Hayato. I just randomly picked them and I have just 1 char slot left, so if I make a BM and I need another link skill I'd be screwed.

Well, either pick the one you like more... or just play all 3. There's nothing saying you HAVE to use the 30b on them... or even really use it until they get past 150.

Best class there rn is WH(except in dojo), then BM. Post nerf, go for bowmaster

Hmm yeah WH probably will be stronger than BM anyway. I think I'm gonna try NL for a bit, if it's too hard to fund or something, I'll switch to WH.
Btw, where can I farm Ilbis? (or hwabis, but I like Ilbis the most)

[quote=xwalero]I'm not thinkink about capping, I just wanna have a decent damage (maybe 1hit-KO on sdh, but idk if that's too much to ask).
Right now, Bowmaster seems to be the best options in terms of after-revamp-dmg, isn't it? Also I've never had one so it would be fun.
So I think NL's are out 'cause %luk$$$$$$$$$$$$$ right?[/quote]
Even with the nerfs Wild hunter nerfs they still come out on top. JS. WH>BM

WH was nerfed: http://orangemushroom.net/2015/06/24/kms-ver-1-2-238-maplestory-reboot-character-balancing/
NL stays pretty much the same, while NW gets a nerf, though idk if that nerf is gonna make them worse than NLs 'cause they are still able to jump+attack which gives them like 2x DPS.
As of Bowmasters, they will get a buff on their %dmg, that's why I'm not sure if the whole "BMs are too hard to cap with" thing is gonna be truth after that patch.

@xwalero They all take a serious amount of funding end game wise. The early funding is less for Bowmans vs Thiefs as I'm sure you're aware. Simply due to gear prices. And later the prices in gear will vary by a decent amount but nothing too crazy.
Night Lords have a very high Skill % Damage and strong buffs leading to a good increase between the clean and buffed range. While thief gear is expensive NL hits large numbers rather easily.
All three of these could be leveled up to 120-140 before you make your choice on what to fund. Maplestory is such a easy game now for damage up until lv 150ish... so I personally have a lot of link/character card/extra classes on my account I play just for fun that are all around 120-140.

I believe WH's are getting nerfed so I'd go with Bowmaster.

1. Play each class, don't tell us to help you pick one when you have no idea how they play in the first place.
2. The money you will 'save' funding an archer, will soon be lost because it requires 2x the funding to deal amazing damage on a BM than it does on a NL.
3. Wild Hunter is your best all around bet at the current moment, even after their nerf you will still be doing some amazing dps.
4. Night Lord in my opinion is the easiest to play and has the more simplified bossing technique out of the three.
5. Just don't bother with bow-master at all actually.
6. If you are planning on funding the class past 30b, stick to NL. if you're not, stay with WH.
10. Try an Aran. <3

I'd say NLs because they're your "wet dream" so it seems like you like them more. Have you played all these classes? Which one did you enjoy more? Because that's the one that you'll enjoy funding the most. As much as people hate to hear it, "play what you like" is legitimate advice. You said you don't like WH much and would only play them for damage. Why would you do that? Playing a class you don't like just because it's strong is not conducive to you having a good time.
Also NWs are getting severely nerfed, I doubt they'll be better after the revamp.

The whole funding thing held me back from making a night lord, but when I finally did, I realized it's such a fun class & the funding will just eventually come~. U should be fine tho w/30b, Specially once the cra glitch gets fixed

Neither will you with bm and WH. If you're going for a fun class I'd go with WH. If you're going for a strong Class I'd go with WH. If you're going for an easier to fund class I'd go with WH.
