This was actually a response to someone's comment but it got so long I felt like posting it. Golden gun, is by far the easiest super to get the most amount of kills with on average. But arc blade, although it holds the possibility of being able to kill 7+ people, is incredibly easy to shut down. Here is my reasoning for why arc blade needs to be fixed: 1. Arc blade needs better target acquisition when an enemy is on a higher or lower elevation then the arc blader. Can't tell you how many times my target has been smack in the middle of my screen and within range, but I just keep arc blading over or under them. Jumping is a great defense against arc blader's. 2. Arc blade, as a melee, requires you to be close range to your target (except for razors edge but I will get to that later). This in in of itself isn't a bad thing, it's just part of the super [b][i][u]however[/u][/i][/b], that also means that enemies have a lot of time to shoot you as you attempt to kill him. Group shooting can take down an arc blade before you can say "blink shotgun". In addition, the close range nature of the arc blade means that people can use shotguns to shut you down every time you super, unlike golden gun which requires you to take position and get close range before 1hitting that golden gun. (Of corse sniping a golden gun can shut them down but it's significantly harder). Between the time it takes to get to a target whilst being shot at, and the effectiveness of both shotguns and melee's (scorch melee especially as it takes two arc blade swipes to kill them) arc blade needs to have more health to be balanced. 3. Making contact but not killing. Often I will hear the sound that indicates contact with an enemy, but they won't take damage. This could easily be attributed o lag though, so it's not my main concern. 4. Razors edge is too hard to use and is incredibly hard to use and ineffective even when used correctly at range. I love razors edge. And if it worked better my 2nd point would be negated. But aiming it isn't easy. I've been using it for a LONG time, and the AoE is so small you have to line yourself up with your target perfectly. I will say that at close range the AoE is good, and eat enough to kill a close range target, but at a distance that you can kill them quicker with a regular arc blade melee. I will also note that razors edge cuts through Titan bubbles like a hot knife through butter. Debatable whether it should be that good against Titan bubbles. To emphasize my point, just yesterday I hit a guy [b][i][u]dead on[/u][/i][/b] with razors edge at a fair range and it did NOTHING. That's my reasoning. I'd welcome any counter arguments, I do love a good conversation. Lastly, I'd like to note that I am ABSOLUTELY FINE keeping arc blade as is, because [i][u][b]bladedancers are by far the most overpowered class for regular game play (non super/gunplay)[/b][/u][/i] Edit: It's not like I haven't gotten 4+ kills with arc blade, and I would say my average is 2, to be conservative. Edit: Thanks to: Mattx792 for bringing up these great points. "Don't leave out what I refer to as: 5. Short Stops. You ever been going at an enemy and even though you're right there, your arc blade hit stops literally 2 centimeters in front of them. That gives them more than enough time to shotgun melee you. Every person who has played with this super in the crucible knows what in talking about. It just stops right there in front of the enemy, making you nothing more than a free kill and a wasted super. 6. Also, the damage. This is a serious issue. Arc blade doesn't have the capabilities to do a lot of things. Most notably, over shields. If there is a sunsinger with the claws of ahamkara, well too bad you lose. The flame shield makes them live through the hit, and they have another one to cover them on their way out after easily double melee'ing the melee super. Also, it takes upwards of 3 attacks to kill a sunsinger with or without radiant skin. That means they can just double melee you, shotgun melee you, or just stick you with a fusion nade and walk away as you can't do anything. Now, let's look at the other supers it can't kill. Nova bomb. 3 hits to kill a person in nova bomb. That means that you statistically cannot kill that person within their animation using your super. And Titans also, off base, take 3 hits to kill in their super, 4 with Unstoppable. Not like that matter though because you're instantly dead anyways no matter how far away you still are."
