The Bladedancer's ARC BLADE has FIFTY PERCENT damage reduction.
[url=http://youtu.be/PDre6IO0ROg?t=8m9s]Watch this video.[/url] If the link doesn't start at the right time, it's 8:09 into it. He is using a Shingen-E against a Blade Dancer using Arc Blade and does 8 damage to the body and 12 damage to the head. The Shingen-E normally does 16 damage to the body and 24 damage to the head, meaning his damage is HALVED.
So can we PLEASE stop saying the Blade Dancer does not have damage resistance? This also correlates with my experience of Shoulder Charging Bladedancers just as they enter Arc Blade, which is normally a OHKO, and getting OHKO'd. Regardless of whether you think it's too strong or whatnot, it does have substantial damage mitigation.

8 RepliesTitan and Warlock have 100% damage reduction..

6 RepliesEvery class gets damage resistance while using a super. More than a Bladedancer at that. The difference is, most classes only have to worry about surviving for a second to pull their super off, Bladedancer needs to use it then get in melee range with it active to kill someone.

1 ReplyYeah it does have damage reduction. Anyone saying otherwise is just stupid. However i have still been gibbed by a shotty at point blank with full health. I've even 2 pieced or been 2 pieced. Blade dancers are not hard to kill. Also FYI if you try to blade dance anyone mid super you usually die because mid super everyone takes 2 hits to die in arc blade. Well....besides the defender. He requires 3 hits inside his shield. More if he hits you once. Also worth noting when a dancer fights another dancer they both need to hit each other twice.

4 RepliesI don't understand it sometimes. I have used bladedancer and have died from ONE shot from a fusion rifle, while I can live through a rocket to the face. Like wtf is that??????????

6 RepliesIt cannot be Nerfed or it would be useless in PVE. Seriously do the people who post this crap realize there's more to this game than PVP....

Edited by Omen47: 9/20/2014 8:05:56 PMI can't believe this thread ([url]http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/69781991/0/0[/url]) is getting top rep, and a topic like this to provide a counterpoint I have to dig pages deep to find again. It was never about just the DR that made Arc Blade ridiculous in PVP; it was the DR and the speed boost, AND the OHKO on normals and Sunsingers, AND the spammable auto-lock dash that lets them fly through the air like a deformed, hateful flying squirrel, with a special choice of making it AOE, a ranged line attack, or turning you goddamn invisible.

1 ReplyThat fact that all three classes are griping about the other classes means NOTHING is broken about the classes.

Of course it does. If it didn't there would be no point to use it. You'd just rush in and die vs mobs.

4 Repliesmaybe, but hunter doesn't get invincibility frames.
-
2 RepliesLol, were people actually saying it doesn't get damage reduction? I've a feeling they were just trolling.
-
3 RepliesI feel as if it's not equal because, in my experience, in a one on four fight, for being good with guns, and one being guy with Super, the Bladedancer is the one class who won't survive if they see him coming. I've pumped so many bullets into a warlock, titan, only to have them jump at the last second, become invincible, and completely destroy me. Bladedancing had to be partially aimed. You can't hit someone on the ground if you ate in the air, and you can be killed mid-animation, which also lasts longer than the others... That's just my take, though. Maybe I'm just a sub-par garbage player, haha

1 ReplyShould have used shotgun... I got one hit killed in bladedancer last night by one from like 10 meters away. Now that's OP

19 RepliesWhether we get damage resistance or not I like the challenge of needing to move and dodge because of being able to be shot whilst in super.

3 RepliesBump.
