  Wheee free hairstyle stuff that I don't need since I still have Royal Hair. ._. It's sad they're not tradable.

  Sweet :D I get that event :) Glad I didn't get the client now :D The one thing is is that none of the stuff is tradable? Darn. Now when I go to a new server I won't get that stuff D:

  I was torrenting at 600KBps earlier, so I don`t think that`s it...
  Server might be overloaded since everyone`s downloading the manual patcher...
  
  If they`re going to make a Downloader, I`d expect it to have resume support...
  Had to restart at 40%..
  
  Also, Elnido or Zenith

  Will probably be Zenith, since it appears that most people in this thread that are interested are on the West Coast, unless I'm wrong and there are more East Coast players, in which case El Nido would probably be better, since it's an East Coast server and all.

  Well, I'm closer to East Coast although I'm playing West Coast for Vindictus...
  
  What are the differences between Bowmaster and Marksman?
  Pre-BB, Marksman seemed better, but Bowmasters seem to have been improved quite a lot since the damage from Hurricane is doubled and Final Attack does not having a separate animation.
  Even though Bowmasters get Concentration, Marksmen have a better damage formula, IIRC.
  
  While we're at it, do any of you have a decent skill simulator?
• Laconicus wrote on 2010-12-07 13:54
  To me it looks like bowmasters are better at bossing and marksmen are better at training, like it originally was. But with the introduction of wild hunters I don't think marksmen are going to have a purpose anymore. ._. That's why I'm thinking of making a bowman rather than an xbowman which I usually do...
  
  I know that I've posted a few different chars I said I'd be going back to, but I'm definitely, 100% sure restarting on El Nido. That bandana looks sexy. =x

  Don't really want to clash with other people's jobs...
  Maybe I should make a Dark Knight instead then... What with the 100% Zerk post-BB or something...
• Laconicus wrote on 2010-12-07 14:35
  Actually, wild hunters get hurricane but no marksmen-specific skills, making them replace bowmasters. Except bowmasters get inferno. But at the same time they seem to train faster than marksmen.
  
  Dammit wild hunters, this whole bb thing would be great if it wasn't for you >_>
