Bowmasters/marksmen actually areactually buffed when you consider the changes to SE vs the changes to strafe/hurricane (not that you could ever tell any of the marksmen on southperry that without getting your head bitten off).Not sure how to think about the changes in mastery though
Think about it, average DPM for bowmaster now is
500 * (0.45*100 + 0.55*340)=116,000%
With the changes, because the max damage a bowmaster does is the same because they lose out on 30% from crits, but gain 30% on base attack.
500*(0.45*130+0.55*340)=122,750% (increase of 6750% per min)
Crossbow strafe w/ speed 3 after booster (86.96 casts per minute.)
Now: 86.96*4*(0.45*100+0.55*340)=80698%.
After: 86.96*4*(0.45*125+0.55*335)= 83655%
Crossbow strafe w/ speed 4 after booster (83.33 casts per minute.)
Now: 83.33*4*(0.45*100+0.55*340)=77330%.
After: 83.33*4*(0.45*125+0.55*335)=80163%
(Similar results for other speeds)
With snipe at 1m damage veery 5-10 seconds, they rape any bowmaster in 1v1 and mobbing anyway (depending on the new skills added I guess)
Edit: Oh, I see, the marksmen bet me here.
Thanks for confirming what we all knew again, you won't be happy no matter how much your 1v1 damage is buffed. No, and you know what else isn't good for training? Hurricane, but we have to make do, 1v1 skills aren't that good for training. You now get guarenteed 12m DPM (in ideal situations...) + all your strafe damage + all your mob skills.
