I consider myself an above average crucible player. I know what works and what doesn't work for the most part with all three classes in pvp.
However I've been watching a lot of high level pvp players on stream lately and they all seem to dominate with the bladedancer blink combo when used correctly. Arc bolt grenade, blink, blink strike. I really want to learn to master this style as I think blink is just too good to pass up in pvp.
I'm wondering if any high level pvp players (above 2.0 k/d in all game types) could provide me with some tips on how they approach their engagements with a load out similar to the one I'll give below. I know k/d isn't the ultimate marker of skill but it does separate out the bad players from the good for the most part and high level pvp players always have amazing k/ds.
Bladedancer
Blink
Arc bolt grenade
Quick Draw (best choice?)
Primary: Thorn/TLW/Strangers Rifle
Secondary: Shotty/Sniper
Heavy: Proximity Rockets
I'm having trouble deciding when the time is right to blink in and cause havok and hold back and be patient with my hand cannon. I think it may come down to practice and experience but if any really good pvpers have some specific tips that would be amazing.
Thanks bros! Happy head hunting!

Edited by Oh look a free name change: 4/1/2015 2:40:24 AMYou don't need blink/shotguns/thorn for a high K/D. If you desperately rely on those than it's pretty obvious you're bad at shooters in general. But this game is Noob-Friendly so whatever, and if you can't seem to use blink right, then just take it off
