Nope.
They do evade more though."

i've played your merc and my bm, buffed and unbuffed your merc wouldnt stand a chance.
bm's have a better side chain, better rear chain (opener has a snare, second has a high defense bonus), squall is a good anytime, hurricane + solar flare is good also, tripple wield, evade 3, reinforced, diamondback (if your pierce), 10s stun off parry (if you're blunt).
you don't have the utility, defense (chain is worthless

), or the same flat out dps that a bm does
alb is even lacking a high str race atm.
