Should Arc Blade also have a shield?

I don't know about you guys, but arc blade is one of the more underpowered supers. Sure it's fine if you are in close quarters and other players can't escape, by most of the time this isn't the case. Players can easily jump back and shoot you. That's why I think activating arc blade should also give you a shield that triples your defense. This will actually make Arc Blade an effective super instead of a joke.

  • you mean the.. oh theres 6 people in the room shooting me... now im silver.. with more life and defence rating then any other super combined.. surviving all 6 people shooting me with missiles.. shotguns.. auto rifles.. grenades... and kill the entire enemy team with no effort becuase im smashing R1? THAT arc blade? it needs a HUGE nerf... less armor... the requirement to AIM your melee instead of the near 360 degree auto aim guidance it gets.. the other 2 classes.. they take 3+ shotgun rounds or even one missile they still go down. ive consistantly had arc blade users survive direct hits from upgraded ghallahorns. it dont need a bigger buff becuase you cant use the most easy to use super in the game worth a crap lol.

    • No. Arc Blade does tremendous damage and kills pretty much anyone it touches, and unlike other offensive supers like whatever the Titan's ground pound is, or the Warlock's Nova Bomb, you have an extreme level of control over who it kills, and are even given opportunities to back up out of possibly bad situations. Also, all of the classes are still vulnerable when they use a damage dealing super. I've been shot in the face as I was spinning up the animation for my nova bomb too many times for you to tell me that Hunters are the only ones vulnerable when using a super. You are wrong.

OK I play a stealth based hunter. I love it Iron banner I was topping if I wasn't 1st then I was 2-3. But arc blade needs some weakness. And it's timing is it. A nova bomb or a fist can kill me. They don't have a time weakness almost invincible. But the range of the blade is its strength. If they just clump together they see me and run. If u clump together and get hit by fist or nova then that's it. I hate this nerf thing.... to me the game is balanced in the way it needs to be. VM didn't need that type of nerf but maybe a nerf on the reload time make a weakness for it. I had a lot higher hopes and with all the complaining is ruining it for me... U guys know I STILL haven't played VoG cuz I can't find fun people to play with without some whining or flaking or whatever. I love this game but just like everything I love it's gonna be ruined. CUZ OF PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM! PS. LONG FACE I like ur comments cuz some are stupid some are intelligent and some are like this. But we've lost this game bro. It's ruined and I was so excited for it to be bigger than WoW. But it will never be now. They lost a huge chunk of people already.

      I was thinking the third subclass option (sol) for the Titan should be a big sword, like in the sword of Croata. Or instead of the sword you could switch to something similar to the relics in VoG.

    • No you should just be invincible for the rest of the game. THEN it will compete with nova bomb PS golden gun should have infinite bullets

      arc blade needs a double over shield imo. too many times have i killed arc blade users with my nova bombs, they stand zero chance against other classes #BuffTheBlade

      • I see the tag, but I'd like to offer that it seems like bladedancers already have the shield.

        • I think the arc blade should have an upgrade perk that turns the knife into a katana that not only increases the melee range but also deflects bullets back at the enemy!

          • I think Arc Blade when activated needs to have their face covered with a troll-face.jpg as they charge you full knowing you can't do jack-shit about it 90% of the time, the other 10% of the time when you do stop them mid Arc Blade, the troll-face.jpg should apear on your face ^^ and automaticly send them an ingame mail saying "You Suck Bro"

            • PvE wise it's kinda weak for raids/nightfall.. I only used it for reviving, but since hardmode you can't revive.. well..

              Nah it wrecks pvp. I think the health regen is a good option. I do think the hunter either needs a better aeo super for pve, or the golden gun should be buffed to do more damage than any gun in the game.

              • Yes, it should also insta heal when you activate it and the lunge has to be much faster.
