Why doesn't Arc Blade super not do more damage and have more shield

I was playing some PvP yesterday and a Titan and I popped our supers at almost the same time. I hit him with an arc blade swipe and he didn't die, yet one hammer from him kills me. But I have to get within melee range, and I can't kill him with one MELEE HIT, but he can kill me with one RANGED HIT! This is the only thing about bladedancer that really bugs me, is how bad the super is. Why can't I throw a knife? What makes more sense (throwing wise), a balanced knife, or a stick with a giant chunk of metal on one end. The bladedancer super is really bad for both PvP and PvE. Almost all ultras can kill you with melee hit, yet the other supers can hit them from a distance (except striker). Buff Arc Blade Super! Edit1: trending Edit2: grammar and spelling Edit3: people, I mainly just want a better ranged attack, since razors edge is kinda pathetically easy to dodge. Gunslingers throw knives, why can't I throw electric knives? Edit4: 115 replies, that's a lot! Thanks for the feedback guys!

    • Think the damage is still a tad low per basic swing. Personally I'd make invis a double B tap (same as shade step) and then replace vanish with a dead eye equivalent. Extra damage on swings but no special moves and maybe a tad longer duration or other nice perk.

        • There's lag that happened. Half the time you'd kill him, half the time he'd kill you. Lag wins

        • Other thing that would be great is getting rid of flux grenades and give it a lightning grenade instead.

          • Whoa there. Some people say SunBreaker doesn't OHK a BladeDancer. It's a 50/50 chance on that. I have been OHK by a Sun breaker before is because my armor was [b]low[/b]. Any super with low armor will get one hit KO by any SunBreaker, but any super with [b]high[/b] armor will survive it. (Except for Golden Gun) Ex. BladeDancer, Nova bomb, Storm caller, striker, maybe Shadow shot (at animation), SunBreaker, and Defender. What's the point on adding Striker and defender if you KNOW they will most likely to survive. Now, hear me out on this, I want BladeDancer (super) to have more [b]agility[/b] movement speed and maybe add a little more speed on the swinging time. Don't know how many times I will be real close to kill a Striker unexpected soon as I hit that first swing and about to hit the next one *[b]hits two buttons[/b]* dead, or hitting a Nova bomb unexpected "hits one time and about to slash again" both trade off or you die. One more thing. Storm caller [b]super[/b] are more quicker than BladeDancer [b]super[/b] at running.

          • Honestly the damage buff was good to a point but can't one-shot roaming supers, blade dancer requires the speed of Blink to be good....but they Nerfed Blink and the way you can use arc blade mid-air. They need to give the blade dancer back it's agility or buff it so it can one-shot other roaming supers.

          • Playing elimination today saw a blade dancer who just killed a teammate with his super and was headed to me. I (striker) jumped and activated my super, just as the animation pointed my character downward he managed to jump and lunge probably 10 feet and slash me twice and killed me before my super even finished animating. Respawned without super too. Fact is supers and character builds vary and can negate or be negated all the time in different ways. I've seen blade dancers wipe whole teams and I've stopped them dead upon activation with a well timed shotgun it's all dependant on circumstance.

              • Hammers do 350 damage and at 50% damage resistance do 175. An Arc Blade will not get one shot at full health by a single hammer.

                  Bladedancer has many other useful perks going for him that make the subclass more than viable in PvP, I could agree the super isn't really that super, but even that can net you a good couple of kills when timed well ;) I won't be commenting on PvE viability at all, as I remember the days when BD was a MUST for killing Crota and when everyone called for Hunters to save the Nightfall with invisibility ;)

                  • To make matters worse, sun charge kills in one hit as well lmao. Sunbreakers trump bladedancer in every way super wise.

                  • 1) bladedancers are much faster 2) sunbreakers can't kill you with 1 hammer in bladedance I hope this post is satire

                      Usually arcblades will try to be very evasive in order to avoid as many hammers as possible while closing distance, and the titan will have to be very accurate in order to get that nice one shot, the hammer usually has to hit from the chest and up to get a one shot.but if the blade manages to close in, two swipes are faster than two hammers if the 1st one isn't a oneshot But I do think blade should one shot people through over shields

                        • Bladedancer is still amazing in PvP. If anything, Hammers are more difficult to use.

                          • "shoulder charge ahould be a ohk because you have to run right at the enemy amd they can just shot you, throwing knife is ranged to it shouldnt be a ohk" The same logic doesn't seem to apply here...

                                That's not 100% percent correct because I've been killing hammer titan all weekend with BD. I think i lost to a hammer maybe 3 time nd that was all in one match so it must be ur armor build
