Just came back the game after a long break (1 year +). I'm looking for a class to main on non-reboot server and I found these two kinda fun but can't choose between them xD I would love to know about their pros and cons. Thanks xD

    These are some great resources but at the end of the day it depends on whether you prefer mobility vs damage

    Wind Archer: takes more skills to mob efficiently, but u can do some pretty good mobbing at high level area. Much better at bossing than bowmaster. Also the best prettiest skill effect in the game

    Bowmaster: much easier mobbing skill with y axis range (though it's got some delay). Generally much better mobbed than wind archer, but falls behind bossing.

    I found that Wind Archer takes less damage than Bowmaster. But Bowmaster is streamlined and the skill effects don't get in the way. but unfunded, wind archer would be the way to go. If you play in windia, you can add me if you need help

    I find wind archer way to buff dependent i mean granted you can dash around a map and air dash AND you get bowmasters freaking scarecrow but as a crystal WE ALL NOW ITS TRUE NEXON! but in short having to re-apply all those buffs even with 3 pets you still got 6 more buffs to cast PLUS 5th job buffs.

    Archers <3
    I wanted to play a Buccaneer just for their 5th job skills, but I can't seem to get to level 200 without being bored of it, haha.
