Open House: Orb Production on BD
Simple question: Why is Bladedancer maxed at 4 orbs? Voidwalkers, Sunsingers, Strikers, Gunslingers and Defenders can achieve 8 orbs or even more (Defender titan specced for the right abilities), But the one super with probably the most kill potential, maxes at 4 (5 with Crest of Alpha Lupi). Sunsingers have a lot of kill potential too, and they can make 8! Is there some logical explanation/reasoning for this? Im curious.
[b][u] Side note, love the new patch. You guys did great! [/u][/b]

35 RepliesThanks for the patch love! We turn all sorts of knobs to try and level out supers from class to class.

1 ReplyQ. How come Arcblade doesn't generate more orbs? A. Excellent question George! Apples grow on trees!

1 ReplyHow have I crated 16 orbs on my striker subclass? No exotic full raid gear.

9 from gun slinger if not not more, striker 9 or more, blade dancer is an add clearing one that could bring down over 6 orbs if used well. Sun singer can go ape and bring in 20+ orbs at times

"Most kill potential"? Lol, no.

I've asked myself the same question many times

17 RepliesA Hunter is considered your DPS class (glass cannon), a Titan is your tank class, and the Warlock is a support class (medic). As I understand it, a Warlock, when perked properly, will generate more orbs than any other class. I believe this was designed to solidify their supportive role. I've been able to generate orbs up into the teens with one of my Warlock supers. At the beginning of the Crota hard mode, during the final boss fight, we save the sword wielding knights for supers after killing the Acolytes. I generally create 9 orbs for two Knights on one side, while my BladeDancer counterparts only create 4 orbs for 2 Knights. Our team insist that the Warlocks pop their supers at this point to get more bang for their buck, because, as you probably already know, orbs are good source of life when Crota's presence restricts all recovery.

Yes!! Seems unfair when you have to get up close for a major or ultra kill and only make 2 when any other class makes 4

Bump cause I'm also confused by their decision here.

Yea it's messed up that blade dancer sub class creates so few orbs and requires so many kills to make just one compared to all other sub classes.
