Also do allies benefit from markerlight support from tau?

In general, I would take Pathfinders. Neither unit is great at dealing damage on its own. Pathfinders can help buff the rest of your army. Still, it depends on the rest of your list.

Technically, allies do not benefit from markerlights, but an allied character in a Tau unit would receive the same benefits.

Pathfinders, because they increase the effectiveness of your other shooting, and your elite slots in a "very shooty army" are already taken by Riptides and crisis suits.

And markerlights specifically only apply to Tau units, so whether your allies benefit from them depends on whether your allies are Tau or not.

Ty people now I understand ^_^
