    In terms of DPS: Assassin
    In terms of usefulness: BM
    In terms of cost: BM

    The only options for melee Heavy Armors is BM and Barb, so you're option is down to BM.

    I won't, majority of their skills are ranged. At best I'd count them as being mid-range, since the range of their skills isn't quite that of an Archer, but they also got melee skills.

    And even if I did, Seeker would be the worst option as their single target DPS is **** compared to BMs, making them very inefficient at soloing things, which was what OP wanted.

    I won't when I see a Sin and BM duoing TM69 and making off with 12m per hour.

    Not to mention that BMs would actually be wanted during 2x drops.

    I actually think BM's aren't as costly as Sins can be. I have friends who have both and have said they spend more money getting the sin set up and geared over the BM.
    All generalizations are false, including this one.

    @Aquireis Olbaze meant in terms of lowest cost. That's common sense right there.

    in terms of making money and soloing single targets the quickest BM hands down. But for anything else especially zhenning and overall aoe Seekers all the way

    Barbs go claws or they live in Delta =p. I make ~2m/h profit with SP delta, which is just fine too imo. Though I cant understand whoever would pay 3m for zhen - Buying heads so much cheaper and I would imagine better xp too.

    BM gets the cheapest 5 aps, thus quickest access to farming Nirvana.

    And since we're talking HA here, obviously 5 aps BM gets best single target DPS.

    o.o im talking about archosaur here...i think archosaur almost has more cash shoppers combined then atleast two of the other servers....

    seekers are very sought after on arch...Bm is usually just used as a back up, >.> a barb on the other hand is also highly sought after usually..i see people ask most often in wc for barb,cleric,sin,seeker...and most of the res tof the time the 5th most sought after one is "AoE DD"...which BM isnt very good at :< plus,another thing is,BM usually have quite abit less DPS than the stock character 5 aps sin...

    >.> most of the focus lately has been on twilight temple squads..and other things that i dont know alot about yet like "warsong,SoT,delta,BH lunar"....and still barbs and sins,and clerics are most often asked for in those things i find most of the time

    the only time i ever find someone wc for a BM is when they have been wc for hours for a squad,cant find a barb,and are desperate....

    most of the time people usually have a bm alt >.> even then not much

    barbs for the buffs,cleric for obvious reasons...seeker for the AoE,debuffs,transfer of debuffs,and so on

    BM cant take the place of vortex in zhen lvling,most of the time i dont even see them in fc...hardly ever see bm in the open map...even on crowded days in west city i only see small handfulls of bm

    The CS phenomenon seems to have upended alot of things that bm like o.o,barbs are still very much needed,very very needed...infact id like to conscript a barb or two >.>

    That cs part must be true then if arch values bms so low b:laugh. Seekers for the most part are kinda useless out side of aoe situations and pk. The same can not be said about bms. The are useful in just about any situation. Hell they tank better then barbs, aoe better then most classes, have no need for clerics when there is a sin side kick, and have the second highest dps in the game.

    You guys zhen on arch................. O_o

    A bm actually has quite abit lower dps on a single target than a 5 aps sin does


    the bm however actually has way better dph,so i think maybe better for killing the well armored kinds(this is especially true with heaven`s flame applied
    )

    now if i understand correctly..in PWI the blademaster takes the role of the "knight",a well rounded physical class capable of effectively using most any weapon and armor setup in the game right?


    i noticed alot of mmo seems to have this problem...too many classes competing for the same roles...dph is good,but heaven forbid if the super boss has one of those paralyzing things and moves a little

    now the seeker gives up some dph for ranged and AoE,and some rather odd debuffs,cinluding the warp to target + stun thing....its quite awesome and all,but what exactly where they trying to do here

    X.X blademasters with a skill list bursting at the seems,seekers without a good idea what exactly they are,range or no....

    it seems the only class with a conrete idea of what it is,is the barb,and the cleric o.o
