I just bought that lv21 agile life thief of potency weapon and tested it out. Dmg and skill Dmg isn't that much different from heartseekers, but all I can say is WOW! What a huge difference in practice. My guess is there's something wrong, the difference in total Dmg output is simply too huge. The numbers don't match the real Dmg output at all IMO.
My noob 21 rogue isn't complaining though
I did a little bit of math here in this thread:

Although the numbers show that Debraved blades of Pot/Brut lvl 26 total damage is still higher than ALP lvl 21, everyone seems to say ALP is still better. Has anyone thoroughly compared these two weapons? Right now I'm leaning towards ALP, but I just want be abosulutely sure. Thank you.

It's common knowledge that Lifethiefs are bugged and sometimes crit for over 600 damage (even at 21) making it the only weapon worth getting (even of the clever kind).
Why it hasn't been fixed is as mind boggling as why the windmill glitch on warriors hasn't either.
But yea, rogues enjoyed doing a lot more damage than intended for a long time now.

This bug has already been reported many times since when the alp came out. Hope it will be corrected soon so we can trust the stats shown in our screen. Also it has much impact on trading prices alp going sky-high and higher rated weapons selling for peanuts at the moment.

For those unsure, it is any blade that says life thief (clever, mighty, agile). It can be of potency or force or whatever. As long as it says life thief. The damage spikes high is what the bug is on any attack. More noticeable if you just mash attack in a mob. The blades can be any level.
As of right now, the alp are better.
I don't remember the exact numbers but I will estimate. These are non-critical attacks.
With L 25 Mighty Lifethief of Potency:
damage: between 120-900
With L 25 Depraved of Brutality
damage: about 150
With L 25 Agile Lifethief of Potency
damage: about 140-920
With L 21 Agile Lifethief of Potency
damage: about 100-850
Anything of lifethief also has AOE. The damage spikes and aoe help to kill mobs quickly in elite mode and kill/kill steal in PVP. What you see in the stats screen is not always the same as what you see on the game screen and vice versa. That's why sometimes people will call them out as bugs such as this case.
Why did you say it..........
I too have recently upgraded from 21 Agile Life to 25 Depraved Brutality and have been very disappointed with the outcome. They seem slow and sluggish compared to the Agiles.

Use your lifethiefs while u can! Play with my friend and they just bought some depraved 26. And you know what? Lifethiefs hit way harder than any other weapon in the game regardless of level! I'm guessing that the depraved were functuining normally. If they're going to patch, it will definitely be decreasing the damage from the life thief line. Just for fun we bought other level 21 weapons and yes they were worse than the 26 depraved, but nothing beats life thief even at 21! Doesn't matter which kind u get!

would the new weopons have a buff? the rogue class already suffered a major nerf in dps recently and we are completely outclassed in close range by warriors in pvp? whats gonna be for us when you nerf our only decent weopon? would there be a major rogue dagger skill boost? hope so.
