Sins hitting harder than archers with an archers own weapon, archers having MASTERY over that weapon, is considered OP....You can still use the 140 bow, it still hits harder than an archer using fists.
You have some interesting comparisons. "Veno hits weaker with Polehammer than Barb with Magic Sword. So Barb is OP."But forget all that.Real question and most important thing is:Does Sin "hit harder" with bow than with daggers?That is the ONLY relevant question (and motivation for Sin to use dags).If not, then the "OP" QQ was about purge, NOT about "hard hit".And that hasn't been solved, only masked.
Your comparison is off. If it was the same type ninja used it would have been veno hitting harder with a polehammer than a barb. Since ninja is comparing bow as a sins SECONDARY weapon damage with an archers PRIMARY where the sin's secondary would be the harder hitting one. Not to mention you completely ignore the sin not having to restat anything to use bows at full damage, fist archers lose dex compared to pure ranged ones.Another point you're forgetting is that by using a bow sins gain about 15-18m range which can be quite usefull. Sin being a melee class they shouldn't outdmg archers at range.
Archer is 5,0 with fist, for sin 5,0 only reachable with heavy/light eq combo for that u need restart a lot from dex to str. but aslong sin still hit a lot more with dager by 4,0 then archer with 5,0 fist all ok. even with atk/dev pouch on tham (what for me still not realy fair that the got it)
You are still missing the point ger. Sins already have the highest DPS ingame as well as an array of stuns on their dagger. They do not need a massive damage secondary weapon that can outhit a class which uses said weapon as primary.
But bow lvl 140 might be enough for Sin to do those PvE tasks.
