This "Jack of all trades master of none" because Sins have access to 4 weapons things has been posted word for word before. Short answer, Assassins have the highest STR stat progression in the game and have astounding single target dps because of it. It is a single target dps class that does it's job exceedingly well.

Having access to more weapons than most classes is in no way a disadvantage and doesn't affect stats at all. For example: Sins don't use STR for daggers and Swords, but then have to rely on another stat (DEX in most rpgs) for Bows, and then yet another stat, WILL for Shields or something like that. No, ALL non magical weapons rely on STR which Assassins have the highest of. How are Sins a "Master of None" again? :D

Also, some people actually LIKE dagger classes. Sins have great dagger skills like Masterfull Kill which gives great invincibility frames and can counter ALL phys damage moves in the game except Death's Scythe on BBI, invisibilty (i find it cheep imo and dont use it but to each his own) which makes you unhittable for the durration of the skill, Snakebite which is an instant knockdown on all regular sized enemies, ect... and even if you don't like daggers you can always go sword/shield or sword/bow.

Yes, extremely versitile, but because of the way Dragon's Dogma does stats that versitility does not hurt stats at all. All Sin's weps use Strength, and Sins have highest STR progression in the game. As for the rest of your post about 10x better classes, to qoute Sheldon Cooper: "That's -your- opinion!"
