    Have you thought of lowering your expectations and instead aim for something lower than 30k?

    We can't really decide for you what character to make because essentially you're going to be the one playing/enjoying it.

    But as an individual who mains a Bowmaster, I can only speak for my experience playing as one.

    For boss runs, SE is always sought after so it's a bonus being a BM, but a lot of people have SE mules so there's a downside to that. The damage output is decent but I find that whiting another class is hard (unless you're heavily funded), so if you're looking for a class that consistently outdamages (and whites the exp), a BM isn't your best option.

    For survivability, BMs don't have high avoid like NLs, so dodging attacks is definitely difficult. If you're planning to HT, you can wash to about 7.6k or 9.1k (to run comfortably). But HP washing is a luxury not a necessity, so you don't really need to wash to enjoy the game.

    To end it off, I would recommend going with what you want to play instead of going off another person's opinion because everyone has different playing styles. In the end it's you who's going to be playing, not us.

    Ok, so let's go through the classes you listed.

    Night Lord
    Pros:
    • Highest single target DPS in a party with SE by a comfortable margin.
    • High avoidability
    • Washes better than other ranged classes (more hp gain per wash/less mp loss)
    • Pretty much always wanted for boss runs because as long as someone has SE, they are the best overall bossers in the game
    • Very good mobility
    Cons:
    • Equipment and scrolls are extremely expensive compared to other classes
    • Highest attack multiplier in their damage formula, meaning the quality of your equips is more important than on any other class
    • Fairly low base HP
    • Really dependent on SE, or else Corsairs outdamage them pretty easily

    Bowmaster
    Pros:
    • Cheaper than Night Lords to fund
    • Always wanted in parties because SE is the best party damage buff
    • Lowest attack multiplier in their damage formula of the ranged classes, meaning their range is much more dependent upon your level and the level of the skill you are using
    • Good accuracy
    Cons:
    • They wash less effectively than Night Lords
    • Mobility is pretty bad
    • Low avoidability
    • Lowest DPS of the ranged classes you're considering

    Hero
    Pros:
    • HP washing is ridiculously easy
    • High HP + Power Guard allows you to tank hits at bosses instead of getting debuffed (think Zakum)
    • Brandish can hit multiple parts of a lot of bosses, meaning that even though their single target DPS may be lower than most of the ranged players, they can wind up doing more damage overall.
    • Very low attack multiplier in their damage formula.
    • Power Stance is an extremely underappreciated, very helpful skill
    • Great at mob control at bosses
    Cons:
    • VERY low avoidability
    • Very bad mobility
    • Even with high base HP, washing is still pretty important in order to be able to boss effectively due to the roles that you are asked to play
    • Lower single-target DPS

    Corsair
    My personal favorite class, so take this with a grain of salt 8^)
    Pros:
    • Highest solo DPS in the game
    • Battleship Cannon + Homing Beacon is the best skill combination in the game. Ignores mobs in between you and the target, significantly buffs your damage on the target, and BSC doesn't get cancelled and force you to whack enemies when they are too close.
    • Highest base HP of the ranged classes
    • Good accuracy
    • Most people understand how valuable they can be in parties (especially at Zakum) although there is the occasional misinformed soul that doesn't respect Corsairs
    • Gods of Krexel
    Cons:
    • Almost definitely the most difficult class you are considering (learning when to dismount your ship, judging the pros/cons of washing)
    • When your ship is destroyed, your DPS turns absolutely awful
    • Because SE is more important to NLs, if someone has to be in a different party at a boss, it will likely be you
    • 2nd highest attack multiplier in their damage formula in the game - once again, this means your damage is very dependent on the quality of your gear
    • Washing - this deserves its own subsection, but I don't know how to do that so just bear with me. First of all, Corsairs are the most inefficient washers in the game. I believe it is +16-20HP, -16MP. That means that you will often get a 1:1 HP-MP return. Night Lords average close to 2:1 and Bowmasters are somewhere in between (Heros are something stupid like 12:1 or something). But that's not the primary concern with washing a Corsair. The biggest issue you're going to run into, is that Corsairs are the only class that can actually suffer from having excess HP. This is because at bosses with 1/1 attacks, the higher your HP, the faster your ship will get broken. For instance, if you wash to 15k HP, you will lose 14,999 HP from your ship if you are 1/1'd whereas an unwashed Corsair with only 5k HP will lose 10k less. So not only is washing a pain, you have to use pretty good judgement when determining how much you want to wash your Corsair.

    The washing a Corsair party isn't as big of a pain as it looks like in comparison to everything else I wrote, but it's my own personal pet peeve so I ramble about it a fair amount. Anyways, that's as much as I can tell you; in the end the decision is up to you. All of those classes are pretty highly desired at bosses so it comes down to what you are looking for the most in a class. Good luck!

    Corsair washing is -16 / +20 if you don't wash from level up APs.
