anyone could easily argue that the bladedancer class is still very powerfull. even with the new classes that just came out with the taken king dlc. even with these new classes a blade dancer could easily hold its own. people have been playing with the blade dancer class since the game came out witch means that there are more skilled players using bladedancer rather than all of the new classes that are being used by mostly people that are unexperienced in that class. i currently use the bladedancer class with my hunter and have been doing very well with it. I have tried the new classes though just to not seam bias, but i still fit really nicely in the blade dancer class. also the new classes are full of very new items and weapons especially all the new supercharged weapons like the light bow in the nightstalker class. these can be very confusing for new players and take a huge amount of new strategy to be able to wield them effectively. also the new grenades and new abilities can be used in many different ways which could take a large amount of time to be able to use well enough. dont get me wrong someone who would be able to put in the time might be able to do very well with these new classes but i just think that the blade dancer class is just a class tht will always stick around and that people will be dominating while using for very long time.
