Bowmaster worth it?

2 years is somewhat of am exaggeration unless you are going for 30k hp or something. It took me about 6 months to get my 15k HP BM to the point where it was missing no stats from washing, and another 3 months to get its HP up to 15k.

 

Every classes are worth, even if they're mules.

 

You don't need anywhere close to 2 years or voting to make a respectable BM. Respectable IMO is 10k base hp which is achievable with about 3-6 months of voting and spending 1-2 events farming resets for a few hours a day during events.

I say 10k base as this allows you to hit the 11.5k threshold for PB pre-HB with tier 10 ring and some scrolled pet equips/event hp items.

 

I made a BM as my first character, and never knew to wash until way late. At the end of the day, there are a lot of mechanics built in our server (i.e. pet HP, monster book ring, event rings, etc.) that help give you additional HP without having to hardcore wash. Just play the class that seems fun to you.

 

You also don't need to wash at all to zak/HT. So unless you really want to fight toad/pb on your BM, you don't NEED to wash.

 

It all depends on what class you want to play, any class is worth playing if thats your favorite class.

For me, I really enjoy Night Lords because they have Flash Jump, Shadow Partner, Meso Up and of course like Shadowers, Shadow Shifter.

A few hours isn't going to get you nearly enough AP Resets each 5 AP Reset is 300 event points, its not nearly effective to farm that for a "few hours."

 

Just to clarify, I didn’t say it would take a few hours. I said it would take a few hours a day of farming throughout 1-2 events. An event normally lasts 30 days. I assumed you would be farming efficiently at a map like BLV V or the purple plains map.

Here’s the math to back up what I said:

In order to do a basic wash to 10k HP by 180, assuming 0 int gear, and 140 base int.

normal wash to 150 - 178 resets (7k HP @ 150)
MP wash from 151-180 - 330 resets (10k HP @ 180)
Remove base int - 140 resets

648 resets required

3-6 months of voting @180k NX per month = 180-360 resets
4 hours of event farming a day for 1-2 events assuming 100 event currency per hour at BLV/purple plains = 200-400 resets.

Total resets achieved: 380-760.

Even if you do 2 hours a day for 2 events and vote for 6 months you’ll get to 560, which would almost get you to what you need for 10k. This also assumes no Int equips so it can definitely be less NX cost if you just make friends and borrow gear.

 

yeah, a few hours a day but that 1 day won't get you as much AP Resets unless you only spend the time that you're playing farming event points.

 

End game content is overrated, it took me 3 years to get to lvl 121 as an I/L Arch Mage.... so you might get sucked in to the social aspect of the game, because in my opinion the bosses are not that fun or important... mostly mashing 4 buttons for 40 minutes....so yeah if you think BM is Fun just play it and have fun, if you somehow will get to lvl 190+ by that time i believe there will be extra things to compensate for the low HP like monster ring or Zombie rings(plural) from the last event.

Of-coarse if all you want is to kill bosses and you plan to leech yourself as fast as possible and make the most OP BOSS Murderer then BM is a good choice but you will need ALOT of funds and NX and I suggest to make a Bishop mule to leech yourself and get the needed funds, by the time you will get the bish to high enough lvl you will acumulate more then enough NX for the Hp wash.
