Just note that I'm not an elite crucible player with a crazy KD or anything like that. Just someone who has an (here comes the terrible o-word) opinion.
Bungie, the Bladedancer has been messed with enough. As a BD main from day one and someone who has endured countless nerfs, I think the Bladedancer is already on par with the other subclasses. If anyone immediately jumps to say that it should be pushed more, just consider how many more Nightstalkers there are now. It's a subclass that has much more presence in the Crucible and in PvE. Not to say that it's overpowered and the Nerfs should be aimed towards the Nightstalker in particular, though. In a short summary of requests, here's what I think should be changed:
The damage of the Gunslinger Tripmine Grenades should be increased eeeeeever so slightly.
Invisibility duration on the Bladedancer with and/or without shadowjack should be extended eeeeeever so slightly.
(If I'm to be really precise, the 3-second startup time on Stalker is bearable. I don't think that needs any tweaks)
That's really it.
(I would have said Blink should have no impact on recovery, but...I'm scared for being lashed upon for saying such material)

I agree. I believe bladedancer has had the most nerfs to any subclass. It feels like the majority of class balancing updates they do hold a nerf for bladedancer. Personally, I think bladedancers are so close to being perfectly balanced. They just need a few little buffs to bring them back up.
