Earlier I tried to find some logic only by reading others,
but now I have my own experience.
I finally made Sin. And yes, for PvE the lvl 140 bow is enough.
Went Sage, if someone ask.
Sin with bow has lot lower range than Archer.
Sin with bow can't use any skill.
Yes, Sin with bow hits slightly harder than with daggers,
but with daggers hits about four times more often.
(24k for daggers with 2.50 per second, 27k for bow with 0.83 per second.
Do the math yourself if you're not afraid: just use calculator to multiply.
Every second I deal 3 times more damage with daggers than with bow.
I'm not lvl 150. My daggers and bow are both lvl 140.)

I don't PK and I don't care, but think of the name itself:
ASSASSIN
Read few things about tradition of the East.
Or watch first episode of Lone Wolf and Cub.
(I know, I know, it's from Japan and game is from China,
but those two countries influenced each other alot.)
BTW, professional killers use "ranged weapons" (snipers, crossbows...)
even more than hand guns and knives. So, which one is "secondary" here?

PW is game where you can be more than one "person".
You make several profiles (classes) and today you are
barbarian, tomorrow wizzard, and so on.
If you think Sin is OP, become one and be happy.
It won't stop you be Myst or BM again whenever you want.
for example when you see for yourself that Sins also have
same number of their own problems.
"But he killed me with his Genie skills. Genies should be
nerfed for Sins."
Stop whining for "safety by default". The moment you
switched to PK mode you knew you and your ego can
get killed many times. Or you hope to kill others and
remain immune yourself?
But, as I said, I don't PK and I don't care.
I still love being Seeker more.
