Hunter Subclass - BladeDancer Analysis

In this video, I breakdown the Hunter's level 15 subclass, BladeDancer and its uses in PVP and PVE. I suggest several strategies that I believe will give the Bungie.net forum community an edge in September. [i]If you have a build in mind or a unique combination of abilities for the BladeDancer subclass, describe them below. [/i] Please comment about [b]why [/b]you chose this build/combination. Thank you.

    Already stated in different forum threads for my build, but I do not see the harm in putting it in here. For PvE, Rush Assault BladeDancer, focused on pure speed and melee damage output. Grenade choice does not matter, but Arcbolt would be useful for softening groups of enemies up for ArcBlade. Blink Step for Jumping. ArcBlade with Showstopper as its optional ability, for removing those pesky swarms. Blink Strike with Fast Twitch for the melee skill, combined with armor bonuses to lower cooldown times even further, not counting any exotic bonuses. The Passive bonuses are Speed Focused, with an even balance between Armor and Recovery. Fleet Footed as the first player bonus slot, to keep you moving in and out of the action as fast as possible, and keep you evasive. Encore as the second player bonus slot, more kills with ArcBlade, the longer it lasts. Combined with armor bonuses for rapid cooldowns, not counting any exotic bonuses. Lock all of those in, and then add in a Maximum Level MIDA Multitool Exotic Scout Rifle, the bonus being increased movement speed... That is for the an all out melee build. Suggested weapon loadout would be the MIDA Multi Tool Exotic rifle in the Primary Weapon slot, any shotgun or Fusion rifle in the Special Slot, and a Heavy Weapon of your choice. Suggested Armor would have to be using the Exotic Helmet "Mask of the Third Man" which both increases melee attack speed, and Lowers Special attack cost during ArcBlade. The focus should be on finding gear that increases the stats for both Super and Melee Cooldown, and have a bonus to Melee attack speed. In the Beta, most of this appeared to be in Dead Orbit's shop. As for why? Pure Speed and Bladework is my style. I need to know just how well the Cloaking works against enemies before I even bother with a build for it.
