Nerf the Bladedancer super
First of I'd like to say that I thoroughly enjoy the game, even though it has its fair share of flaws at the moment.
I was pleased to see Bugnie discuss the nerfing of the shotgun and assault rifles in an upcoming patch, however I noticed the Bladedancer super was not even mentioned. This ability overpowers literally every other super there is by a large margin.
Unless you don't possess opposable thumbs or have some sort of handicap you should get at least 3 kills with this super, averaging about 4.
Let's talk about the other supers first. All the other supers can be killed as any other after they used it.
[b]A warlock performing Nova Bomb is essentially invincible for maybe a second but he can be killed right after, same with the titan's Fist Of Havoc. The hunter's Golden Gun and the warlock Radiance can be damaged as they normally would while they're using it.
However the Bladedancer takes this to a whole other level. You are almost invincible throughout the entire use of this super.[/b]
It survives rocket launchers as well as point blank shotguns. You can kill it with at least 3-4 people shooting it simultaneously but often the Bladedancer manages to kill all players in that time. You can literally activate this super in a fight you're about to lose and you will win.
The only way you will die is if someone else uses their own super.
Combine the fact you have extremely fast movement, very long range melee lunges and being almost invincible during the entire time and you have an extremely overpowered ability.
It is blatantly obvious how unbalanced this super is and I'm terribly disappointed that it was not even mentioned in the upcoming nerf update.
I have bolded some lines for the "special" people here.

This is a funny necro of a thread if you read what people were saying about Blade Dancer. Just a few posts down a guy is complaining that it shouldn't get armor and health regen. The Titan get bit of those in addition to being a 1 hit kill, more armor, faster regen, and can do it from range.

It cannot survive shotguns and rockets what are you smoking?!

If blade dancer gets nerfed I will not be playing destiny.

No plz dont

I have a Bladedancer and quite honestly, a matchup between a bladedancer and another foe is meant to be out of skill. First off, I have died countless times from Fist of Havoc/Nova Bomb while using Arc Blade, furthermore if an enemy has a heavy they can usually counter my super. It really takes a smart bladedancer to be an effective bladedancer. One time I even took down a bladedancer with nothing but a full fusion rifle burst and a fusion grenade stick. Another time, I was playing control as a defender, and thanks to armor of light I was able to spam bullets on the bladedancer before he reached my bubble, and once he was inside of my bubble it was just shotgun-shotgun-punch and he was dead. Furthermore, Bladedancers are the worst PvE class. If anything, buff the damage of their blade (and abilities) so that they can have a chance in PvE. I can understand how they can be annoying in Crucible, but just remember, play it smart and you may be able to kill them. And if they kill you- so what? remember, it's a Super :)

Dont :(

Uh oh u just stirred the pot. I sense many pvp ers rushing in to "super" ur post

Blade dancer meet shotgun fist....blade dancer lost

It shouldnt have damage reduction or auto health regen. Without those the one hit kills would be more fair.

5 RepliesI will agree the blade-dancer FEELS overpowered from the receiving end. I only think this because the feed is filled with kills BUT this is the only long lasting super. I play as a warlock and I hardly have to plan my little nuke which I can unleash whenever without tactic, similar set up for the Titan. But the hunter, I assume, needs to actually plan out where they will go ham. Yes they can spam but if they go too far into the open, they are screwed. Frustrating, damn right. But it is the only lethal super than can be taken out somewhat easily mid-attack. Please no arguments below, just constructive criticism!

2 RepliesAs a hunter I have to say the following: A) I have blade dancer maxed out and can easily killed by a skilled opponent. B) In PvP I run my gunslinger so that when I encounter my counterpart I will be capable of maneuver carefully so that I can kill them off with my grenade/throwing knife and my Last Word. C) Please know that killing blade dancers is a SKILL requiring feat. In other words go get some practice and eventually you will develop this skill too.

I have no problem killing blade dancers if I see them coming and have more trouble killing warlock or Titan during theirs so no nerf needed ya just gotta be cations of your surroundings and be prepared to retreat if necessary
-
The thing that needs to be nerfed ist the damn noobie autoaim, if you stand behint a BD, he smashes his button and autolocks a target in air or 180* behint.....so -blam!-ed up

Just stop crying on the forums you kid. Practice your game.

Boohoo Crybaby

3 RepliesComing from a Hunter, I enjoy bladedancer, and you do die just as easily as other supers (fist of havoc and nova bomb)
-
Invincible during supers? titan? warlock? Ha. I've brought down hunters,titans and warlocks alike as they were in their supers with simple melee attacks. Pretty sad when you can kill a blade dancer with a punch.
-
Shut up. Go play CoD

3 RepliesSunslingers, if they spec rate take 17 damage from a surous and that's a headshot. A surous headshot deals about 42 damage last time a i checked, they get this damage resistance. Also not to mention one shot kill melee plus they can kill you with sticky grenades from afar. They have the same potential as the blade dancer. If not more they are just a tad bit harder to pull off, but they can be more rewarding. I honestly can't take this post seriously. Also there should be no survivors of a nova bomb if used, if they did they deserved to die. I also go even when a hunter uses there arc blade. They kill me but i kill them, and they wasted there super then. The blade dancer isn't op at all people just want to complain about them. Instead of complaining and saying something is op, why don't you get better or play the same class. There not that good in fact, they are the weakest in pvp. They have agility as there highest stat, so they have they have to sacrifice hp or recovery time. Or get sub par recovery and armor, with no agility. There normal stats are the worst, recovery makes the biggest deal, and armor can be useful at times. Agility gives you what a little bit more jump, the speed doesn't make much of a difference. Bladedancers a class that's always complained yet people are to blind to see they are balanced. They get there super maybe 3 times if there really good. And if the other players are good there lucky to get two or more kills. It's honestly not that hard to trade kills, i use an ar tho so maybe that's why? i back pedal while unloading on them, and once they finally get close enough i just melee them ;). Only takes like 3 or 4 shots from an ar and a melee to kill them. I honestly don't see what the big deal is, just stay your distance. And don't rush stupidly into a blade dancer if they went around a corner.

I personally think it's a cool Super. However, the combination of Speed, 1Hit Kill, and Shield do seem unbalanced. If they kept it the same but removed(or reduced) the shield I feel it would be fairer.
