Also cheaper (no bloodpaint though)

Sins can also get cheaper 5aps (with claws, but seeing as you think a BM is the best dmg for farming, you probably thing a claw sins is awesome to), and can buf HIMSELF with bloodpaint. How awesome is that? (on side note, BM is one of the more expencive 5aps

lol, endlesspsy is right on one thing. My bm solo's frost with bloodpaint and just demon bell :P

Bah... my BM solos Frost with just demon bell (yes its true). b:cool

Bah. My catshop solos frost unbuffed!

I soloed Frost at 92 on my Sin.

I don't think I'll be able to do that on my BM.

I can pull aggro off a 99 3.33 archer using Deicides +10 on my (then) 94 Sin (my sin is Sage). I don't think my BM will be able to do that.

As for versatility... BM's hard to beat. But, as the adage goes, Jack of All trades, master of none. You aren't gonna be the best at PVP, you aren't gonna be the best in TW, you aren't gonna be the best tank, you aren't gonna be the best DD, you aren't gonna be the... you aren't gonna heal ANYTHING for ****.

Sin is the best class for 1v1 ganking in PVP.

BM is probably the worst class for TW, but hey, my archer was killing BM's in the TW's I did with her, and my Sin killed a few BM's in the last TW I did as well.

Barb and Seeker are gonna be better tanks, at least up through midgame and early endgame. Without refines, a non-vit BM is kinda low HP compared to a vit/str build seeker, and way the hell low HP compared to a Vit build Seeker or a Barb.

Sin, Archer, and mage classes are all gonna out DD you in the mid-game, not sure about endgame, but that probably comes down to gear and refines (Pay to Win, *******).

And obviously, BM has nothing for a squad heal, so... We'll leave that to the Clerics, Mystics, and Psys.

Pro chart OP.



I highly doubt it. If by solo, you mean dual loging a cleric and healing it, it doesn't count.


Really? Newsflash Sin has the highest DPS in game.


Funny. My BM has no problem against people of equal gears.


Best in TW doing what? You know TW isn't just everyone doing one thing right?


I won't, but I do both sufficiently good enough that I'm wanted in almost any party for any instances. No, your swiss army knife isn't going to cut like a meat cleaver, but it does cut most things and can do a hell lot more a meat cleaver can't.



LMAO. What TW faction are you in? One of those small ones that owns one or 2 lands on the map that the major factions feel sorry to invade? BM is irreplaceable in TW, and if you don't know why, then come back when you learned how to TW.



Really? A non-VIT BM will have lower HP than a VIT Seeker!!?? Shocker! Do you even play BM and Seeker? They get the exact same HP per VIT and per level.


Sin yes, Archer and Mage? LOL. My BM was owning Public Quest with DPS on elite mobs where no caster or Archer can keep up, with Zhen or DPS on single mobs. Only class that beat my BM was Sins.


Yes OBVIOUSLY.

You sir, are awesome.

Does this include going stealth to get passed mobs or killing everything?

Sins are the highest damage dealing melee in the game. Level doesn't mean much of anything if you attack faster/harder to begin with, neither of which you specified.

As for versatility... BM's hard to beat. But, as the adage goes, Jack of All trades, master of none.

The best BMs master multiple weapon paths and manage to use said weapons effectively in various situations. The same can be said about Psys, they're good at DD and can heal if needed, but will never beat a cleric for that scenario.

You aren't gonna be the best at PVP,

Some of the best PvP'ers were BMs before they released the Tideborn Expansion. Then anyone who sucked in PvP due to lack of skill re-rolled as a WTFLMFAOPWN class called the sin.


you aren't gonna be the best in TW,

BM's are a much needed class in TW. TW isn't about what class is best, it's about the teamwork and coordination of the competing guilds to knock down the opposition.


you aren't gonna be the best tank

BMs were never designed to be the primary tank class to begin with. Before the TB expansion, they were meant to be the off tank in case something went wrong with the barb. Since the release of the TB expansion, along with APS, the matter tanking has since gone to whoever can do the tanking without losing agro and creating a lot of extra work for the cleric, or other main healer. If you die after a hit or two, with a competent healer, then you don't need to be tanking anyway.


you aren't gonna be the best DD

BMs were never designed to be a DD class either. Again, they were meant to be an off tank type class to take control if the situation warranted.

you aren't gonna be the... you aren't gonna heal ANYTHING for ****.

Competent BMs can heal themselves and keep the boss agro'd long enough for the cleric to get the rest of the party up and rebuffed. Before the TB expansion, a vast amount of BMs went sage for the damage reduction the triple spark gave to increase their chances of survival.


Sin is the best class for 1v1 ganking in PVP.

This is only true because sins have the invisibility advantage. They also have a higher DD output, and a good sin can WTFPWN you before you even know what is happening. Before the TB expansion, it was archers and nix venos.

BM is probably the worst class for TW, but hey, my archer was killing BM's in the TW's I did with her, and my Sin killed a few BM's in the last TW I did as well.

Sins and Seekers are the worse classes for TW. It is incredibly difficult to effectively place either class in TW. The only thing, from personal experience, that I can see a sin being useful for is keeping the bind spot down. BMs are meant for crowd control situations, if the BMs you TW aren't doing this, then they need to be schooled.

Barb and Seeker are gonna be better tanks, at least up through midgame and early endgame. Without refines, a non-vit BM is kinda low HP compared to a vit/str build seeker, and way the hell low HP compared to a Vit build Seeker or a Barb.

Again, BMs were never designed to be a primary tank class. If anything, they are better fitted to be labeled a support class.

Sin, Archer, and mage classes are all gonna out DD you in the mid-game, not sure about endgame, but that probably comes down to gear and refines (Pay to Win, *******).

As a BM, and an archer, the ONLY time when a magic class manages to pull agro is when they're Rank 9 with better refines. Again, sins are the highest damage dealing melee class in the game at the moment. But the archer vs. BM argument has been beaten to the ground time and time again. In a way, the game has always been about gear, refines, and builds; it's just more noticeable end game.

And obviously, BM has nothing for a squad heal, so... We'll leave that to the Clerics, Mystics, and Psys.

They're not suppose to have squad heals. But, in my opinion, clerics and mystics are better healers than psychics are. But then again, this opinion is based on personal experiences and open to civilized discussion.

Responses in red. But yes, that sheet does need to be redone, especially since barbs can do just about everything that a BM can do, assuming they are the same build & gear as a BM for comparision.

Level doesn't mean anything nowadays. There is a great chance that the OP has a higher level toon someplace.

Dost mine eyes deceive me? No psychic on your special chart?
