Bowmaster: Old School MapleStory's Favorite Class

While they were relegated to "Sharp Eyes Mule" status during the peak of the Old School MapleStory era, Bowmaster holds a place in the meta that might make it the most beloved class in the game. Everyone would benefit with a Bowmaster present, and they were a completely unoffensive class. They didn't break the game, yet they still managed to dish out solid damage and were omnipresent throughout bossing content. So today we're taking a look at Bowmaster in Old School MapleStory.

1:03:52 I can’t believe you’re using punkdeath and I old video at the end killing the female boss. We use to farm those day after day and write down the time so we can go back and kill it again. Dreams do come true❤️

This was my first ever maple character and I stuck to it till lvl200 and let me tell you, the amount of patience it took to get it to lvl200. All the blood, sweat and friendship that was built around that character could never be replaced. Old maple just hit different than it does now. To this day, I always wonder what my friends that I built in that game are doing in real life. I hope they’re living their life fully and in good health. RIP to the fallen ones.

Wake up babe, a new Togain video dropped

So many memories, I used to be a Bowmaster in Yellonde pre-Big Bang. The friends I made through that journey, all those adventures, are things I'll always treasure. I remember how excited I was the moment I finally got Hurricane, that was the skill that made me choose the job. Bowmasters will always have a special place in my heart.

Forever in my thoughts, BlueSky, my precious guild.

i have never played maplestory and never will but you make some top tier second monitor content

I live for this shit. Current day Maple just doesn't do anything for me, but OSMS was peak MMO.

[CraneXI]

Best part of seeing this means, we’ll likely get every class highlighted in this type of vids. We’re so spoiled…lol

I was looking for the bowman documentary and I couldn’t find it turns out it wasn’t released yet. This videos are a complete master piece thanks!

OMG! My beloved Dream guild! I remember sitting on TeamSpeak with the guys when Zakum came out, and we were fighting disconnects more often than the boss. Bowmaster was my main class, and at one point, I was pretty high in the rankings. You have no idea how the nostalgia hit me when I saw the first few seconds of the video. Good old times..

[PringleTheOne]

Man... one of my favorite classes, hurricane was just dopamine everytime I used it, and strafe was sick too.

Hitting it right everytime Togain, great stuff man! Can't wait for your next video.

[hobbiesseriously]

Togain, you are the reason I picked up playing in a classic server again

I MISS OLDSCHOOL MAPLESTORY AND THE ERA.

[JonFawkes]

I'm loving these history videos, really brings me back to OSMS.

I look forward to your video on IL Mages, that was the class I mained back in the day and I feel like I saw so many other IL Mages, it felt like a meta for a file

[Cubey_Official]

These videos are edited so amazingly well! Love your stuff!! ❤

[neosmndrew]

Love your nostalgic videos man. Shortly after beta, I created my first MS character (F/P Wizard) and my IRL best friend created a Bowmaster. Sadly, he quit shortly after 2nd job.

[thaxplicit]

fuck yes I've been waiting for this. My main during old school maple I struggled through them hell levels grinding through 3rd job and being ridiculed for not being a sin because of my damage and then 4th job hit and all of a sudden I'm everyone's favorite class man what a time that was. The first time I ever experienced true vindication in never giving up on my class. I'll always cherish the post 4th job experience

[farewell]

Great video, would love to see more.
One important thing that i didn't see mentioned in the video is why the higher hit-count skills were better than the lower ones even with lower % damage total in the tooltip.
That's because the way Critical strikes were calculated back in the day was kind of weird;
The Crit would add 100% damage to every line, example:
X ability does 400% damage, with Crit it would deal 400% + 100% = 500%
Keeping that in mind, Sharp Eyes also has a deceptive tooltip, on max rank it Increases the damage per line by 140% rather than 40%, this effect stacks with NL and Archer Critical Shot meaning:
X ability which deals 400%, if we put SE and Critical Shot would deal 400% + 100% + 140% = 640%.
on NLs and Archers which have high line count on their Skills and Critical Shot means they benefit a ton from it.
This also means that a class like Corsair while not having any base crit, have high line count skills, benefit more from Sharp Eyes than a class like Paladin, who only have 1 hit count skills.

Legit just makes my day whenever I see a new Togain video up

[dekondorf]

What an amazing and entertaining video Togain a very nostalgic too thanks for this beatiful trip to my childhood, bowmaster was my first class in Maplestory and really enjoying until level 75 when the level experience was too much for me to handle, still i really enjoy my time in GMS.
