Arc blade isn't broken

No, Sunbreaker Titans have a secret perk called Bungie's Wrath. "Bungie's Wrath: Sunbreaker Titans are granted total immunity to all Y1 subclasses, because who needs them. Y1 sucked anyway."

I totally agree, haven't used blade dance since late dark below/early house of wolves in pvp. I tried it this weekend in trials and OMG was i shocked. Forever trying to hit people who eerie close but failing. All they had to do was jump around and I couldn't get him with the attack. It does need to be fixed after the stealth nerf

Yes. Finally a thread like this getting the attention it needs. I made a post not too long ago but it didn't kick off. Arc blade needs a fix. The hit boxes are nonexistent or broken.

Ive noticed this. Stop just short. And again. And again. Pretty much everything about this game is -blam!-ed up now. 2 supreme subclasses that only area affect supers can match? While bladedancer and radiance gunslinger and striker get boned. This is why a lot of people are leaving.

Restore the Bladedancer Y1. We all know how bad they nerfed it. It used to be a fun subclass. Now it's pathetic.

Something just dawned on me, maybe they keep stealth nerfing arc blade to encourage the last of the non dlc buyers to upgrade. There is no reason to keep making it worse. It was definitley top tier until update 1.1.1 where they updated pulse rifles when TDB was just released. 1.1.1 was the beggining of the stealth nerfs and each update brings another nerf it seems. That and they dont want to spend money to fix it. It was already the worst PVE class and now its pretty piss poor in PVP, at least compared to what it used to be.

I don't have the time nor the patience to watch the videos(nothing against OP), but judging by your text, I can only assume that the repetitive short-stopping is one of the problems... .. and I couldn't agree more. I find myself neglecting to pop my blade because I am fearful of getting killed because of my blade short-stopping, which in turn causes rage.

I really can't look at al those videos right now so I'll just assume, based on the comments and OPs post, that Acr Blade sucks. Which is true! When I was a kinderguardian, I used to rely on it a lot. But then it became pointless. You can be easily shot down by one or two people if they're on their toes. You gotta be almost next to the enemy to use it properly cause it will run out fast and again, you can be shot down. Compared to other supers that have self regen or good range or splash damage, Arc Blade is shit. In fact, if you consider those points, most Hunter supers suck compared to the options other classes have. They're meant to take out one enemy at a time. Even Shadowshot does: it can stunt people caught on the "splash zone" but it's up to your guns to take them out. I rely on GG now; at least that give me good range to act as a shield.

The hit detection is garbage on arc blade and shoulder charge.

That, and they let Titans have their fun with their easy-mode Hammer of Sol. [i]Every[/i] Titan only has to pop their super before the end of the match, and that's [i]if[/i] it's close. That's a guaranteed comeback, usually. Reason being is that unless they get tethered or brought down by team fire (before they manage to wipe a team in a few seconds) they can and will shut down the match. It has become predictable to hear Titans popping their hammers out when they start losing and there is little time left. I seriously feel as if Titans were handed a class with more offensive capability than all the others combined simply because they were worthless to a majority of the original player base. They started off in a bad way, but I don't see why they needed to be given a God mode as a gift. The health regen after a kill what [i]really[/i] blows me the fck away. Since it is perk based, this isn't a dire problem. As a matter of fact, it being perk based means it is more easily altered... make it so that health only refills on a multi kill. That would be playing to the strength of the class, no? Seems slightly more reasonable. Armor reduction at 55%? Try 54 or 53. That extra 5% padding adds up hugely in the "balanced" Crucible, where the smallest increase to defense can leave you with one or more health. This alone is enough to change the outcome of many firefights you have, as one extra health could spell the difference between you winning the altercation.. or you losing. Even when a super is activated. No other class needs a buff, short of BD. Warlocks are in a good place, as usual (no hate for any class btw, I like all 3), all 3 of their subs are effective across all game modes. Titans? Lopsided. Striker was an attempt at a PvP class. It was [i]okay[/i]. Shoulder charge is not as reliable as you would think (still godly with the right player lol), and FoH is rarely presented with multi-kill opportunities. Defender class is my favorite subclass period, and I main a hunter. Perks and new models of exotic armor allow for customizing to a pretty decent extent. You want harder hitting weapons, or more shield? You want a blinding dome, or gauntlets that allow shotgun kills to spawn another overshield? You can choose to spawn orbs off of heavy kills (armor pieces do that now though), you can suppress other supers by throwing a grenade, not to mention various annoying PvE enemy abilities. This class was meant to be top. It should be, by all rights. Isn't being done enough Justice if you ask me. That's all..

I remember when you'd hear an arcblade pop nearby and everyone would try running away. The damage it caused made sense now people just laugh at it. It has no damage resistance whatsoever.

This is all true. I don't even have to watch vids. I use to run arc blade all the time in pvp, and I feel like after TTK its total trash somehow. I never use it now. I really wish it didn't have to be this way its so disappointing. I agree, please fix arc blade. The other 3rd person roaming supers are so awesome, and arc blade is pathetic...

All the BD bounties are Bungie being dickish right now.
