BH currently have 2 of the most powerful skills in the game.
Venom Strike (aka poison).
- Does 33 damage which cannot be blocked, deflected, reduced with protections or in any other way avoided. Absolutely guaranteed 33 damage.
- Does not give mages mana via reroute from the damage it does.
- Does not build rage for your enemy via the damage it does.
- Costs less than massacre! (by comparison, if you're dealing 50 damage on an enemy with 30 protection, mass would add +18 damage for more mana, instead of +33)
- Useable on turn 1!
Bloodlust (aka omg stop healing)
- Increases your effective HP without agility penalty
- Always active, applies EVERY turn you deal damage (compare to e.g. deadly aim, once every 3 turns)
- Early in the skill tree, accessible from level 2 (compare reroute)
- Frustrates your enemies to no end. Lovely!
Don't forget also that smokescreen helps you dodge more and shadow arts stacks on top of dodge (block) chance, so you can get up to 55% chance to block if you have enough dex/smoke and lv10 SA. That is absolutely insane, though luckily your enemies have guns and plenty of spells (bunker, artillery, mage spells, stun nade, etc etc) to avoid block chance with ;)
These are the reasons why I have been a BH for about 80% of my wins. Started as one, tried all 3 classes, went back to BH. Founder + good var/ench gear. I will however be going to merc in a couple weeks if the stat reductions aren't changed, as mercs are currently stronger overall, just in terms of stats, not skills, in my opinion.
