    It is the only way you can attack Pole and survive, for awhile at least.

    i used to rely on the time-honored "use a bow" routine in 69. i stopped when bh69 became my BH (which is at 80), because following a safe attack pattern is better than spamming bow shots. yes you have a greater chance f staying on your feet, but you also draw the ire of people tanking.

    my routine in bh69 is to open with rib strike 10 seconds after tank has aggro, then switch to COTD, and attack until chi full (if it is not already), continue to attack under cotd for about 10 more seconds then wolf emblem -> 2x spark -> rising dragon strike -> subsea strike -> condensed thorn(and at the same time CT is channeling hit tangling mire), then rib stirke and tackling slash. auto attack till chi-full wash, rinse, repeat.

    depending on the tank. you can take 5-10 second breaks renewing buffs or picking your nails. the point is you should be running with high lvl tanks than you, otherwise you will steal aggro, BUT you do not have to rely on a bow (unless u have a crimson horn like me ^_^).

    the only other factor is crit proc. if you notice you are hitting back to back crits, STOP ATTACKING!! you are better off stopping all together if this happens and using shadow escape to fill chi AND reset aggro at the same time. sin is a easy class to have, but a very hard one to play properly. use your skills they are there for a reason.

    Well a bow is recommended but you might also want to upgrade your gear since getting hit for 4k seems a bit much, since i can't remember getting for more then 3k at a high spike by pole's aoe at 8x on my sin and my gear didn't change that much from 7x-8x(armor wise anyway)

    Shadow Escape does not reset aggro unless you currently have aggro at the EXACT moment you enter stealth.

    >_> I had 5,000 HP buffed by a Barb at level 75.

    I also could take 5 hits from Pole before getting killed. That was after taking aggro, not just AOE.

    Willing to bet that your PDef is 3k buffed, and your MDef is 3k buffed?

    Mine was 5.5k for PDef buffed by a cleric and 4.4k for MDef.

    At level 84, my PDef is now 7k buffed with bell and a cleric, and MDef is a little bit over 5k. And I've got 5,500 HP buffed by a Barb. I'm at 1.67 APS with daggers.

    I can't tank Pole. I can't tank Nob. I have a bow for both. But I can run in, and use Rib Strike on both. In fact, I do so when I do BH69, to help the barb and cleric.

    I run into a lot of Sins who refuse to use bows. I regard them as fail, doing BH51, I could actually pull aggro off fail barbs just using a bow, and bow did twice the DPH as my daggers did (then). My current bow is a TT80 Gold bow stashed from my Archer to my Sin, and daggers are Hook and Thorn. I can say, the DPH is pretty nice from the Bow... I wouldn't suggest a sin Get that bow just to have a bow. But, I can oneshot weak or sacrificial assault mobs with that bow if I double spark.

    Pole has a close range AoE that hits very hard (harder than his normal melee hits) sometimes.

    It doesn't happen often but it's unpredictable. Deaden/bow, up to you.

    He has a long range magic aoe and a short range physical aoe. Its the short range physical aoe that really packs a punch on arcane classes. Shard half garnets instead of citrine and you should notice a huge difference in survivability, not just from Pole.
