People complain about the arcblade super but titans armor is far superior to the arcblades. If I have my GG activated and I shoot an arcblader in super they insta die. If I do the same against a titan who activates their ground pound super they live and I die...I know it has happened plenty of times where I shoot and hit the guy but he survives with about 25% red bar of health left....how is that for OP? A super that grants virtual invincibility for a few seconds. Vs a super that grants reduced dmg for a longer period of time. The problem is people can obviously see the arcblade super and how resistant it is. But few know that the titan is basically invincible even to other supers during his super.

Lol if you are on a small map, try using Arc Blade on a big Mars or moon maps, good luck getting to anyone with out dying. I have been killed many times by shotguns when using my Arc Blade. It is stupid how people think it is OP, because I want to trade Arc Blade for Nova bomb. I love Hunters for everything they are EXCEPT their supers. Give me a Titan or Warlock super any day.

I agree, before making a hunter I always thought it seemed to good, people would be getting kill after kill with it, however now that I have a bladedancer I've noticed it really is easy to be countered or used at the wrong time. When done right it can be the best super, otherwise yeah, it's definitely not overpowered and quite hard to master.

My main is a hunter. I have decent builds for both subclasses, and have all the perks unlocked. Depending on armor, I'm typically in the 27 - 29 level group. I have plenty of experience using blade dancer both for PvP and PvE. Just so you know, blade is probably my favorite of the two classes, sheerly for the mobility and freedom of movement. For the nightfall and raids it's basically useless due in large part to the diminished armor stat and heavy emphasis on C.Q.C., but for PvP and for lulzing about in patrol and other missions, its very good. More to the point, the super is not necessarily OP by comparison to the other supers, but I do feel there should be one tweak made that would even things out. I feel that the damage reduction gained during the move should be reduced significantly. I've been in a few battles where popping my blade super basically guaranteed my survival against a team of enemies. I mean to say that I have charged and killed entire teams with my blade dancer, and got away with it. Titans may kill two or three people, if they are lucky. But a striker will get killed 100% of the time by the remainder of the team. They may even be killed by a single player while executing their super, in certain situations. The same is true for warlocks. Gunslingers can be flanked and destroyed easily, sometimes before they even fire a shot. As a blade dancer, however, nothing short of a heavy weapon or a well timed super is enough to stop me. Even if the team can coordinate and focus fire, I will usually get at least one or two of them before being killed. I don't feel a nerf is necessary, but something should be adjusted. The instant kill nature of the super, combined with the added mobility, and the duration of the move is extremely deadly. Being extra resistant to damage besides simply makes it too powerful. TL;DR: High level hunter here. I don't think it really needs to be nerfed, but the damage resistance needs to be tweaked. In its current state, I kind of agree with people calling for it.

ITT: Bladedancer damage control.

Arc blade is really -blam!-ing good, but only in very specific situations.

Don't touch arc blade... it is meh in pve as is and adjusting for PvP will ruin it further.. and sure it can work in pve but it is worse than other super a due to range

Bigger maps allow more room to jump around and evade from someone using arc blade. In tight maps, however, it is near impossible to dodge arc blade. Its not that hard to walk around with 10 seconds of invincibility and attack the moment your radar lights up red. Arc blade needs a cooldown, or atleast turn off their radars while super is active

[quote]To everyone saying how broken Arcblade super is, you clearly don't understand how this game works. Yeah sure I can jump into a room and kill everyone in it in a matter of seconds, however, Arcblade is easily checked with Titan Smash and Warlock Blast. On multiple occasions I have activated my super and dashed into a room, gunning for a titan. The second before I hit him he begins his super animation. I slash him, his health drops to virtually nothing. He continues the animation, I slash him one more time, invincible. Then he smashes the ground and one shots me and his health heals back up all nice and pretty. The exact same thing happens with Warlock Blast. So if you are a Warlock or a Titan who is complaining about how powerful Arcblade is, how about you do something that Warlocks and Titans don't ever have to do, and think, save your super to counter Arcblade and don't get greedy. God's I can't even count how many times I've seen a Titan or Warlock waste their super on just one person.[/quote] This^

Yes! People don't realize that arc blade isn't OP. I've seen so many people get quads with the Titan smash and the Warlock's nova bomb but it is rare to see smeone use arc blade and go "dashing in"(as some people refer it to) and still manage to get a quad. Hell it can't counter any of the other supers, it is countered by other hunters with gunslinger, titan smash, nova bomb and self resurrect (shotgun+die+resurrect+shotgun again=kill). Don't get me statted on the sholder barge of the titan either. If anything needs to be nerfed its the fact there is more 2 piecing in here than gears of war 2.

I use the defender and "armor of light" perk for it and I can take 3 direct arcblade strikes and survive. Especially if I already have a force barrier active. (then they would have to completely deplete their super to kill me alone!) When they enter the shield it just takes a good couple shotgun blasts to the face and they are dead. I Nearly cleared an entire team when I activated the shield! (The rest survived because they never even shown up.)

first thanks for sharing second id just love to last more than 20 seconds each time I re-spawn now I no how im not very good. maybe ill even manage to kill someone one day. happy hunting.

those supers had me like :O hunters4life
