and maybe help doing fb's and stuff

If you want to farm mats (TT and things like that) you can make a sin
however mi advice: make some toons and see what you like most, dont think a class is bad cose someone said that, at the end is just a matter of what you like best. Someone could tell you that certain class is boring, but thats just his / her opinion and you could actually like it.

Classes that i think are good to farm mats, run fc and things like that:

Melee:
- Assasin
- Blademaster

Magic:
- Venomancer (with a pet that can tank certain bosses)
- Mystics (If you learn how to use them, even though they eat a lot of mana)

To be honest almost any class can farm if the player learn to play it, but the most common farmer is the Assasin, i mean almost anyone have one, however Im not sure what is what you want to farm.

BM:
+ Alter Marrow can adjust defenses if dealing with pure physical or elemental damage
+ Diamond Sutra and spark eruption offer two ways to selfheal without using genie or pots.
+ Fist offers very fast attacks for chi building, while a small standby axe can still give you access to Heavens Flame for damage spiking.
+ Heavy armor, high hitpoints. STR based
+ Good for sustained autoculti. Can do so without charm or pot usage.
- Lacks ranged skills. Very annoying when mobs run away or freeze you.
- Weak vs ranged elemental damage throwers.

Seeker:
+ Heavy armor and a def level boost reduce damage taken a lot
+ Strong AOEs
+ A good amount of ranged skills to take on those pesky archers and mages.
- Somewhat mana intensive
- Slower attacks due to locked in on sword weapons, less chi building
- Very few selfhealing skills, relies on potions and genies.

Assassin:
+ Bloodpaint means every attack you do heals you.
+ Fast
+ Sneaky - can stealth when in trouble. Can stealth to sneak past most enemies to go straight for bosses
+ Good for sustained autoculti. Can do so without charm or pot usage, but due to low endurance a life charm is recommended early on.
- Light armor, lower hitpoints, lower endurance. DEX based.
- Getting immobilised is a problem.

People tend to favor melee or ranged/caster classes. I'd base my answer on that.

People who prefer melee classes do fine with sin, but if you're not used to getting in close and personal with enemies Sin can be a tough class to play because they're quite squishy (think of your cleric trying to punch their way out of close combat). If you're used to playing a class that is meant to kill before enemies reach them and kite away when they do, sin is a bad choice. It has high damage, but is can be boring for people who want to push buttons constantly while they play as most their attacks are auto-attack.

Seeker is a 'caster' class with medium damage on average but great tankability. Good for caster players who want a melee class.

BM is a nice medium of reasonable tankability and damage output while not being either dependant on auto-attack or skill spam.

Sorry for editing your quote, I had to take only the points I disagree.

Here is a list of ranged BM skills Pre-Primal World: Spirit Chaser, Far Strike, Drake's Ray, Reckless Rush, Smack, Reel-in, Blade Hurl.

As for assassins, as long as you get to keep Tidal protection on, you have 50% less chance to be imobilized, while imobilized you can shadow jump/teleport (doesnt remove debuff, but moves you tho).

The sin's true weak spot is: Too squishy for a 95% melee class, but compensated by individual combat capability. (only ranged attack is knife throw, ever).
