Alright, it's been only been about 2 weeks since I have gotten my Sin's gear (R8 plus TT~missing cape and helmet). My Bm is 4 aps sparked, and my Sin is 2.86 aps sparked. My Bm has Deicide, and my Sin has R8 daggers. When I hit a boss with both of them attacking my sin r4pes aggro away from my bm. Where's the balance? b:shocked

Edit:
My Sin's crit rate is 35%, and 75% with Power Dash!

My Bm's crit rate is 17%, and 32% with Dragon Bane!
Do you hate me? Good, that makes for an adequate conversation starter.

    For a long time my sin was 4.0 with R8 dags. I had them +10 with two +40 shards for a long time. In nirvana i was in a squad with a sin that had nirv dags +12 with 2 +50 shards. And every single time I pulled agro. The simple thing is crit hits.

    Blademasters aren't quite useless for they have Heaven's Flame.

    no not really, a bm's main weapon when it has **** refine and damage in terms of aps is HF. every squad almost always want a HF. therefore making a bm (at leasy at low-med lvl) needed more than sin. at higher lvl squads wants sins for nirvy ofc, but i would actually prefer 1 bm 1 sin +1 random in 4man squad than 2 sin+1 random. b:bye

    my point is, i think sin and bm both balances each other since sin's damage is best when used together with bm's hf, whereas what's the point of bm hf-ing, when there's no one that can input the damage while the debuff is applied? b:chuckle

    Make a sin b:victory

    kill yourself on BH/soulburn/bramble. have 0 mdef get 1 shot by clerics. think occult ice is a necessary part of sin 'stun' lock. complain when players anti stun badge jump fly or do anything besides stand still and get hit by auto attack. say wiz is op because they keep anti stunning and teleporting wen you auto attack. stealth and stand in the same spot get knocked out by aoes. consider windhshield to be a sin skill. 'discover' that 3 spark wolfemblem teleport stun occult is pro. continue to auto attack when players expel. complain that expel is 'hax'. get mysteriously sealed for 9 seconds and killed by any mag class. state that stealth is legit sin "skill" then complain when higher level sins kill you from stealth. /end

    APS BM is standard for profit nowadays. We do NOT have as much critical damage nor base damage as a assassin but we have HF debuff, much stronger then sins subsea.

    BM's advantage:

    -Better survival
    -Accepted(and desired) everywhere, Specially Nirvana
    -Epic heavy duty AOE's
    -Cheaper

    Disadvantages:

    -Magic mobs hurt more, can't hold runner mobs down as easily as assassins.

    Sin's Advantage:

    -Higher damage/higher crit rate
    -Stealth farmer, can avoid mobs easily

    Disadvantages:

    -Squishier, needs higher refines/Pdef ornaments to survive better
    -Don't get accepted half the time into squads, too many assassins
    -Bad at AOE's

    well to answer your question, r8 dags are just plain stronger. the p atk as well as the max atk adds just boost your dph far beyond what a deicide would. Remember, you can have high aps with a weak weapon and still be out-dded by a lower aps with a stronger wep. Now I think if you compared a bm and sin with equal aps and r8 fists vs r8 dags, you would see a difference (though I still think the sin will outdd b:shocked )
