It’s like they’re almost invincible during their super. It’s really noticeable in Mayhem where it’s super vs super a lot. Doesn’t matter if you hit them with your super, they live and kill you with theirs. And then get it right back with shards. The damage resistance should be lowered to be in line with others. If I can be one shot with their super while I’m in mine, it should also work the other way around. (I main Hunter btw. If you think blade Barrage is ok in Mayhem as is, you’re wrong. it’s almost as bad as the nova bomb spamming last year. You want to instantly keep getting your super back, you should have less damage resistance so it’s risk and reward. Not just reward reward reward)
I want to know how Blade Barrage with Shards is ok in Mayhem still? It’s almost as bad as the nova bomb spam in year one. It’s all you hear in Mayhem now. Over and over and over. It needs to be fixed. Give them less damage resistance or else make it require three kills at once to instantly get your super back. Getting one kill to get it is so bad. That’s ALL they do! No shooting, no melee, just super spam back to back to back. Mayhem is all about spamming abilities, yes. But not only just the super over and over. No other classes can do this making it very unfair. If you can’t understand this, it’s probably because you’re one of the people who only does this. Most people get it though. It needs to be toned down so you’re not getting super back with only one kill, or you take more damage while in super so it’s not stupid easy to get rapid super kills over and over.
I’m now running this set up for the remainder of Mayhem, to annoy as many people as possible. Using traction on boots to get that extra turn speed to hit people chasing me with it even easier.

Shards is the problem, and yea lower damage resistance would be nice.
-
4 RepliesYeah the one thing they needed to fix was the invincibility, and they didn't touch that part. The other option would be to give it a huge cast time so there is some level of counter play Every other super you can counter or run from

4 RepliesIf you're calling for a nerf or balance of any kind in Mayhem, then maybe the mode is not for you. It's MAYHEM, it's supposed to be constant spamming of supers. BB can be dodged, I do it, others do it when I fling mine out. I've been killed by my own when standing too close to something. I personally love Mayhem and laugh the whole time, but I guess having fun isn't what it's about 🤷♀️

1 ReplyThe mode isn’t called Mayhem. It’s called Blade Barrage.
-
As vengeance I would use spectral blades and hunt down the blade barrage users as soon as they finish their panic super. It's always fun to deny them instant super back for like a second.
-
Id love to see clips of all these hunters saying how easy it is to dodge post nerf. The explosion damage got jacked up and i cant tell you how many times ive ducked behind a corner and it tracked me down and killed me. BB definitely does not kill the caster even at point blank a few meters away. I dont think it even hurt the guy. I dont want it nerfed to the ground but it shouldnt be able to track around corners and should kill the caster if used as a panic from mere feet away.
-
You mean first of panic
-
I do want to say, as a barrage/shards user, that I've noticed you don't get it back instantly every time. After I used it three consecutive times within about 10-15 seconds, I wouldn't get my buff from shards, giving me forced downtime from my super, which is something I support completely in Mayhem. I also want to say that there were several times when I was killed mid-activation resulting in my blades not launching, but it still consumes my super energy, so maybe the damage resistance isn't [i]quite[/i] as high as it comes across, or maybe I just suck at PvP more than I think I do.

If you cant handle constant supers in mayhem.... [spoiler]Then dont -blam!-ing play mayhem[/spoiler]

Its mayhem... Everything gets spammed. Go into other playlists until it goes on reset. Simple.
-
35 RepliesIn my opinion, Blade Barrage got nerfed enough.
-
Lol. I'm sorry, it's mayhem. I thought spamming supers ad nauseum was the point.
-
6 RepliesIf u thought the nova warp winers were strong. Just imagine hunters getting nerfed. This game would loose half its population.
-
So, you want to nerf an entire subclass because of how it functions in a Crucible game mode that came around twice last year? Okay
-
Even with the glitch nova bombs were never spammed as much. You were locked in place throwing random aimed nova bombs. The tracking on blade barrage and the gauntlets makes mayhem easy mode. Nova bomb is sluggish slow, tracks to many targets (often tracking several targets charging its trajectory) and can be shot out of the sky. It’s hardly OP along with the dicked warlock class in general.
-
2 RepliesOk one let me stop you. Two the spam from nova bomb was a glitch with control layout. Switching the layout to jumper would allow you to throw unlimited nova because of the recharge rate for mayhem. Bungies shit patch was to make each kill only count as 1 point I stead of the normal three. Blade barrage is working as intended with it s accompanying exotic armor piece. It's not spam when it's doing what it's suppose to. Either be first to the draw and super first or stay back and chose your battles more wisely. I ha e been killed while using blade barrage by another rbalde barrage and either we trade kills or one of us survives because it doesn't lock on as good anymore. I have also nova some one while they bladed me and we traded. I'm a hunter main have been since Destiny 1. Stop trying to make us weaker because you feel something is unbalanced when it's not. That would be the equivalent of complaing about being two nova bombs going through each other instead of colliding in mid air.

8 RepliesBungie could have easily fixed shards...but nooo they nerfed them.. I would have been an easy fix to give 5-10% energy per kill and more for majors /ultra's.
-
4 RepliesAnd yet using NB even with Skull I get killed in half the time. And in OvP, the Skull gives you almost no super energy.
-
It's called mayhem for a reason 🤔🤔
-
Lol. Yeah, they’re kinda tanks when using it or even starting to use it. Played the 5 weeklies the other day and I’d use my shield bash and smash a cheesy hunter then, mod destruction the chump was able to pop the panic, kill me and then live through it. Smh. I’d sure love for my abilities to tank major injuries as I’m activating it like BB can but then it and my Titan would be “unfair” in pvp, according to Hunters.

3 RepliesEdited by RPColten: 2/2/2019 5:50:08 AMMayhem is not representative of good balancing, nor is it a good source to draw conclusions towards any possible balance faults. There is reason enough to judge the damage resistance and recharge rate of Blade Barrage + Shards without including Mayhem.
-
No over shield or anything!! Titans have an over shield for just walking about these days it seems! Titans need the nerf not hunters
-
Why? Mayhem is just an alternate game mode where you're supposed to just have some really quick fun. There's really no reason to bring up balance in a limited gamemode that isn't representative of the rest of the gamemodes available.
-
My hunter should be harder to kill while casting a super. All the armor is masterworked. People forget about that.

3 RepliesWhy not just nerf everything then
