Bounty Hunter are Human Melee Characters that have higher Damage skills, can use weapons in both hands and have unique skills to improve the chance to do extra triggers (critical damage, lucky events, etc.). They have bonus when striking from behind or sides so they are usually moving arround the target. Their role is DAMAGE DEALERS. They have limited to none healing capacities.
SOLO PLAY: Bounty Hunter are fair to play solo due to the high damage. They kill fast but they need to avoid damage. Usually can solo mobs 3 to 5 levels above his own level.
GROUP PLAY: Bounty Hunters are wanted in groups to do DPS. In a Fellow of 9 the vast majority will be damage dealers so there is always a spot for a skilled Bounty Hunter.
