Why do hackers play as Battle Mages?

Just curious as to why every hacker I see is a BaM.

Its the easiest to design hacks for I guess. Tornado must have something in the coding that makes it easy to exploit for full map attack.

I see way more Evans hacking than any other class.

Actually I see a lot more Evan botters than BaMs. But all mages classes seem to be popular with hackers.

I dunno, at least half of the vachacking bots I see are Evans.

I've never seen a classic mage bot. Can't remember seeing any BWs either.

I've seen I/L's botting, though not very recently.

Hum, it's true I took a very long hibernation. Perhaps recent "reorganizations" have rendered my class less profitable for hackers.

I see as many BaMs as Evans, I think teleport and the survival are the main reasons. Although yesterday I saw a hacker Mercedes. Very odd it was.

Last I heard Battle Mages have two different attacks that can both hit the whole map but also have no delay and can be used together, making them able to kill high health targets like crockies faster than anyone else. That said, I usually see Evans in terms of botting hackers and Wild Hunters in terms of random players who choose to hack.

Teleport Mastery & Dark Aura's passive DoT are very easy to manipulate.

Teleport (with Teleport Mastery), tons of AoE, and not really difficult to spam the same 3 things over and over.

I've seen hackers of every type lately, but I've noticed most of the ones I remember are Evans, most likely because of the dragon.

I think it might be a Khaini thing. Almost every hacker I've seen on Khaini has been a BaM. Haven't seen a single Evan, the others I saw were pirates.

I've heard Khaini has an unusually high number of hackers. I'm pretty sure only botters have access to whatever the Evans use, since Evans are the only hackers I ever see vacuum hacking. I assume if you're approaching it as an individual instead of a fully scripted bot, Battle Mages are more desirable because they don't rely on vacuum hacks.

BaM's, evans and Demon SLayer are the three main hackers i find around.

i personally assume it's because of all the area DoT (in the first and last case) but i don't specifically "know"

I mostly see Ds and Evan vac hack. Bam at lhc.
