I propose the following. Arcblade duration will no longer be reduced by lunging, using abilities, or getting kills. Arcblade will now have 3 Charges. Charges are consumed after a Kill, or after every use of Showstopper of Razor's Edge. If multiple kills results from a Showstopper or Razor's Edge, more Charges are not consumed. No more than 1 will ever be consumed by Showstopper or Razor's Edge even if the player gets multiple kills with those abilities. Showstopper range increases slightly. Razor's Edge no longer tracks the ground until it hits a surface, and may be aimed in any direction. Vanish does not consume a charge, but may only be cast once per use of Arcblade. Upon all charges become consumed, Arcblade is dismissed. Sound good? Prolly not... Not too much of a nerf, but you can no longer kill an entire team... twice... unless of coarse you are just that good! Which is how it should be. [quote] I am not an unskilled player; i am rather good. Not... The best, but very much above average. That said, the time i did play blade dancer i just didn't enjoy it as much. I was... An average player when i blade danced. My argument here is that people tend to lunge about until they find a target; spamming melee until SOMETHING connects. Or... They ARE good, and get many many kills with a single super use. Most supers are isolated; nova bomb and fists are aoe which rarely kill more than 2 or even 3 players. Ward or dawn is defensive and radiance buffs other abilities isolated to the warlock. The most range belongs to the gunslinger, but they are still isolated to their line of sight. Blade dancer can quickly kill multiple targets consistently over a large area... Like on a smaller map, they can kill most everyone before the duration runs out. That said, the only way to counter an arc blade is with heavy ammo, lucky shots with a shotgun, because they are dancing all over the place to hit, or at range... But they still have that extra damage resistance. So... A super is left, but sunsingers and defenders still have no answer... My system here limits the kills similar to that of the Gunslinger and BUFFS mobility because it no longer drains duration. That way, the dancer can still... Dance... But the are no longer the grim -blam!-ing reaper.[/quote] Editted for clarity.
