Why exactly are Bounty Hunters so strong and popular all of a sudden? Look at the LeaderBoards today 1vs1 wins top 3 are BHs. All-Time 1vs1 wins top 3 are BHs. And recently I have been seeing more and more BHs in 1vs1 and 2vs2. Not to mention if you go to Rabblefroth (NPC) and click on "Rabblefroth's question" you will see that over 7,000 players have voted for BH being the most interesting class. While all the other classes have far less then 4,000 votes. So what do you guys think is causing this? Discuss.

 LeaderBoards are not showing balance of the class. Some classes just have better fast-killing abilities than others, whilst others may have better ratio but fight slower. Also poll was to gather data NOT to judge balance by it. Both points are invalid in a way since NONE affect balance.

its players preference, i find TLM better in everything if you want high ratio TLM is OP. But BH provide the fastest wins right now thats why ppl choose BH.

and cmon the class perfectly designed :D Smoke-Bloodlust-Mass combo just too gr8.

@Trans Well if it isn't for the class being stronger or having some kind of advantage over the other classes why do you think its so popular all of a sudden?
@Turkish I agree. That combo is very effective.

it has advantage over other classes, it provide the fastest win rate. As you know in 1vs1 fast kills is more important than ratio.

Honsently the staff should have given all the other classes the same straight through laid out build like BH's. Just a debuff, final, passive and other little skills for other builds and different finals to seprate the classes, but that their still balanced.

The only reason why BH have suddendly risen in power is because all the other classes have been given nerfs while BH was left alone for the longest. Thanks to this endless cycle of nerfs BH which has been balanced for the longest now seems OP because the other classes have been powered down.

Also the LB only tell which builds kill the quickest not what is OP. I have seen other classes win daily 1 vs 1 LB that weren't BH and in 2 vs 2 I rarely see a BH in the top spot.

 @Astral Fury: Notice that 90%+ of all BHs who are level 35 are strength BHs. If they did that for every class, I can guarantee you I would never want to play ED again. Don't you think it'd be boring if EVERY SINGLE class had exactly the same basic layout, and 90%+ of all players of that class used a certain build? IMO classes like merc, TM, and CH are all way more fun to play against compared to BH because literally 95/100 BHs that I face use pretty much the exactly same strategy, and it's as boring as heck to fight against them.

 I don't think they've made changes to BH skills for a long time, so that's probably why they aren't necessarily stronger. In fact, the last change relevant to BH skills was with %-based skills being based only off of primary damage, not overall damage...

the reason that BH has been everywhere these days is because the players found a build that can usually KO someone in 4-5 turns for fast wins, and for some who is hungry for higher ranks like the epic legend.

lolled at sudden rise to power. did you just wake up from deep sleep bro? as long as I know, Bh was never a class to take lightly, and as even farther than I know strength builds was nothing to take lightly.

BH's have been a powerful class for as long as I can remember. People tend to migrate to the OverPowered Class, and because of the many nerfs to BM/CH, people are coming back to the most powerful base class. Even when Heal Looping TM had the most ridiculous build ever known to EpicDuel, they could not go into a battle against a Poison/Massacre E-blade BH without fearing a loss.

 I prefer BH because it has a counter skill for virtually every possible advantage another class might have. If it wasn't for the "luck" factor, players would take to the streets protesting how OP Bounties are. I don't know about the "sudden rise to power", we've held our own for quite some time now.

@ drekon

It is because of all the nerfs all the other classes had while BH was left alone. Because of all these nerfs people now turned to BH and now people want this class the one that was balanced for so long nerfed because of it.
