Spectral Blades - The Secret to Landing Your Attacks (Way of the Wraith)
There’s a lot of talk going on about Spectral Blades having a poor hit registration. Now I won’t deny that this is true, but there’s something interesting that you can do with the super to land your hits better.
The poor hit registration occurs mostly when your guardian is attacking while he’s grounded. Generally what can happen is your light attack will not do any damage, or your heavy attack will just miss its target completely.
Here’s the secret to hitting your attacks more accurately:
**JUMP, and then execute your HEAVY attack from the air. The tracking and hit registration is drastically improved while you’re airborne.**
In the clip you’ll see me use a heavy attack from the ground and miss my opponent completely. Right after, I will attempt my attack again but this time I will jump and execute the heavy attack from the air. My nightstalker will lock onto its target and get the kill.
Anyways, I hope this helps you find more success with the super. I still wish the sprint speed or lunge distance was increased, but this is what we have for now.
I ended this video off with a couple of clips of me using this technique in the crucible. After that you’ll see a short clip of me showing why Flawless Execution is such an awesome perk.

Awesome stuff! But I will mainly be using this skill tree for the neutral game. The perk that allows for invisibility and wall hacks from getting a precision kill while crouched is just so good when you pair it with the chaperone. Slide, get a headshot with Chaperone, then see where your enemies are coming from next. It almost puts Legend of Acrius to shame. Almost....

2 AntwortenHa, it hadn’t occurred to me to try jumping. Brilliant, thanks for the tip! I was ready to call this “bladedancers less-coordinated cousin” but you have given me hope haha.

3 AntwortenBetter idea: Bungie bringing back Bladedancer. No, a NS skill tree doesn't count.

1 AntwortenI really don't like this subclass. The crouching and going invisible perk is completely useless in pvp, but the super is decent. Then the super is useless in pve, but the invisibility perk is useful. The smoke is also just a reskin. Why bother using this in pve and shadowshot is already a thing? Just my two cents on this.

What's really weird is I need to crunch and snipe things in the head that take like 20 headshots for my super to do damage, that's what's -blam!-ed. But I'm still trying to figure out this super like there's some sort of secret I don't know
-
How about instead of us having to use it weird, they fix it?

Love your gameplay, that second clip was a whirlwind of purple, looked so cool

What I have heard from my mates who play the Titan Sentinal (shield bash) and the hunter (spectral blades) is that the hit registration is as bad as the titan shield bash. Yes, I understand myself that there should be some difference in the hit registration (titan = fat, moves slower.. bla bla bla, hunter = agile = better hit registration). But I would say... dont make them all like the arcstrider, because it gets to OP (not even hitting the enemy, but getting the kill)

12 Antworten🤔 I’ll give it a shot, they still need to extend the duration tho ...

1 AntwortenWhat weapon setup/combos are you running and doing well with? Trying to build a setup that really makes use of Flawless execution. Been using a bow to proc it, and then rat king to dance in and out of stealth when I flank.
-
I’m definitely going to try this out, I’ve had good luck just going slow and thinking about my swings. Granted I won’t land a staggering amount of kills, maybe this would help keep my speed up too.

I should also add that if you're adding any input on your left thumb stick it still seems to mess up even with your trick. I've only been able to get it to work when I stop doing so.
-
2 AntwortenI have a better idea. I'll switch to Blade Barrage and not have to worry about it at all.

1 AntwortenYour name. I hate that cereal.

Great tip! Thanks

It's like they forgot completely about the buffs made to arcstrider a while back.

1 AntwortenIt should just work like you lunge forward and anything near your path takes the hit, imagine a line of aoe damage that fits your lunge distance(poof no more hit registration problems)
-
Thanks for the tip man. I just got my 3rd Seed Of Light and unlocked this class last. Haven’t even got to use it yet. 👊

1 AntwortenWill stompies affect it since you’ll be jumping higher than normal?

1 AntwortenAnother one? *grabs his coffee*
