Marksman are supposed to outdamage Bowmasters in all circumstances, but they don't.
This thread was with regards to ideas for correcting class imbalance if I recall correctly, not making classes you think should be stronger, stronger.
Marksman should have higher damage, while Bowmasters should have lower damage, but fire faster. That is mirrored by the current system with snipe/strafe vs. hurricane. In the end, the damage output over time should theoretically be the same. If it isn't, I agree that snipe's cooldown should be tweaked or whatnot, but Marksman shouldn't outdamage Bowmasters in all circumstances. Bowmasters don't have any additional mobility over Marksman. I actually find that snipers generally have more points in thrust because they don't need to max eagle or blizzard. Whereas many rangers find max hawk essential for training at newties.
Changes I'd like to see:
BM's Phoenix should either critical or have some sort of burn effect to make up for the lack of freeze
Hamstring/Blind should work on bosses
Concentrate's cooldown should be decreased or have it stack with attack potions
