    Being the middle man. The class that can multi task and do a little bit of what the other classes can do, except for healing.

    Using alter marrow physical and laughing at the damage sins do to me.

    *insert evil laugh here*

    Seriously though, my favorite part of being a BM is the 'wtf's I get whenever I tank wyvern in BH51 (BM just hit level 65 today). b:sin

    Wish more squads would believe that BMs can tank though. b:sad

    Soloing 3 of the circles that spawn mobs in FC(before 2nd boss), before the other 5 players can kill theirs.

    Versatility, definitely versatility, not as healthy as a barbarian, yet much better damage output, so many skills and weapons to use, so many things a BM can do including tank (i hear ya when you say squads should have more faith on BM tanks)
    There's one thing i hate about being a BM tho, so many skills and weapons = very expensive

    ^This. +100
    Especialy the skills part where you almost feel automatic to get them all, even when you are using like 2 or more weapon paths at early lvls. My BM is only lvl 40 now, but is an Axe/Pole/Fist BM (3:2 build) now with all the corresponding skills up to lvl39, but his main path is Axe. It's hard, especially spirit - wise to get all of them, but definitely worth it 'cause it's a TON more fun, to the point where I'm aching to grind on the closest mobs I can find. O_O

    Overall, BMs are fun fun fun! when you know how to play with and utilize all their normal skills + wep path skills. Even though they aren't of much value as Barbs and Clerics in terms of being needed the most, but do a great job in squad with their melee DD, movement impaling debuffs, AoEs, leaps, Sprints, etc. xD

    The ability to do a lot of things like bosses, BHs, HH, AOEing, etc solo. Hate having to rely on others.
    Wondering how much longer these **** packs are going to be around.

    the most fun thing is to use demon spark with fist, and another bm in squad use hf while u spark
    and u get 11k+ dmg per hit, without including crits, 2 attacks per sec without interval gear.
    then u steal the aggro from the barb and they try so hard to get it back xD

    The fact we can easily fill any classes role save the cleric role, and do extremely well.

    We can aoe the **** outta stuff.

    We can dd the **** outta stuff.

    We can tank stuff better than barbs.

    We can steal aggro more pro than archers.

    We can drop hp pots on the ground to heal people like a cleric....wait what???

    Not the most squishy class...well except against BIDS...that hurts alot (tho some bms 1 shotted by gush).

    We are bipolar....go from wanting nothing but axes to nothing but fists in a week....sheesh.

    We always ask about what build is best, because for sure someone must know which is the best (and cant read the forums)!

    1 pot fills up the entire mp bar!!!!!

    People getting ticked off about stunlocks being unfair.

    The class name dosent even make sense since swords are the least used weapon.

    We can wear green camo clothes and blend into the environment like assassins!

    We has lots of weapons.

    Yeh i think thats some of why i like this class...

    The fact is you can choose many weapon paths and utilize all melee weapon.I like the self heal sutra very good at keeping oneself alive.

    Lets see...
    The skill and weapon diversity
    The super popularity you get when you have lvl 10 HF (cos everyone goes OMG i can crit 30K+ with ur HF) in BHs and FBs
    The AOEs chains
    Keeping ur cleric wife happy when you make a nice AOE grinding couple. (maybe thats just me)
    The stuns
    The shadowless kick for canceling channel skills on bosses

    It has to be either getting flamed for having wrong weapon paths or "dude your stat build is wrong". It's a hard choice really.

    I'd go with "You got the wrong weapon path" flame, it's always funny to see what non-BM people have to say about how we fight.

    Well i never answered my own question. And it seems everyone has basically covered what i would say. But I will say something anyways.


    Enjoyment.
    You can tank/dd/crowd control.
    You're a one man army. With tons of skills to aid you in any task given.
    Played right you can save party's from a party wipe with quick thinking.
    And with genie skills your versatility is only improved.
