Maplestory:Pros and Cons of bowmen
May 13, 2009 – 9:23 pmPosted by: arosavi
Bowmen specialize in powerful ranged attacks in Maplestory. They have high maximum damage, but unfortunately also have the lowest minimum damage, making them very unstable at first.
Bowmen can’t attack up close effectively, at least until the higher levels, and they also can’t jump + shoot like Assassins can, meaning that if enemies get in close, Bowmen are at a big disadvantage and need to get out of there.
Pros:
* Exteemely high maximum damage
* Attack at range
* Can usually get their arrows from monsters or for free/really cheap from other players.
* Very high accuracy means missing enemies shouldn’t be a problem.
* Can switch to a melee weapon at the lower levels and still be effective.
* Can knockback enemies.
Cons:
* Very low minimum damage means damage stability is the worst out of all the classes.
* Terrible in melee range unless they switch to a melee weapon (only really feasible at lower levels).
* Cannot jump and then shoot while in the air.
* Avoidability not as good as Assassins which means they get hit more often.
* Slower attack speed than Assassins.
* Some people find them the most boring class as the usual hunting method involves just standing in a safe spot and shooting at enemies at a distance.
