Has blade dancer been nerfed?

I remember people complaining alot about that super and not so much recently. Did it get reduced recently? Or at any point? I've noticed a couple of things about is abilities in PvP. Such as: It taking two hits to kill a player, usually occurs with titans. Can be killed just as easily during super activation and duration. If a warlock starts the nova bomb animation blade dancer cannot kill warlock before animation completes. It takes 4 hits to kill a titan with a ward of dawn over shield. Titans and warlocks both have 1 hit melee kills. Blink strike will only kill when health is low, and throwing knife will only kill when health is low. (I'm not sure if it can kill a full health guardian with a head shot). Also blade dancer can only create 4 orbs, found that out during hard mode crota. Does anyone have thoughts about this? Is it cause the hunter class is so deadly it needs to be reduced to be even with other classes? Edit: I wonder how much server lag plays into this stuff, perhaps my experiences are the result of server lag.

  • I don't pay attention to filthy scrub hunters. My titan master class just reks them with tlw and stays -blam!-ing chill.

    • Lol Warlock melee is only a hit kill in radiance, Titans have Shoulder Charge and that can be used too often, but it takes 3 rockets to kill a BladeDancer at full health.

        Throwing knife headshot does 158 damage. Blink strike has never been a 1 hit kill unless you have backstab. People have figured out that if you shoot them, bladedancer can die. Use razors edge on bubbles.

      • Are you kidding? They still take half damage and they still one hit kill most if not all players.

          My only complaint about supers is that ward of dawn should not be broken by fist of havok. Its a dome, it doesn't deal damage, and enemies can still kill you inside, why make even weaker by allowing other supers to break it.

          • Titans' melee isn't a one hit kill and Warlocks can only OHK with scorch if Radiance is active.

              • I wondered if it got a nerd, too. I've felt like I've had much less damage resistance while blade dancing after the update. I've definitely had issue charging into a room with 2+ enemies and being able to kill more than one of them, if any, before getting shut down (by primary fire, usually not shotguns or heavy) I haven't played enough to say whether or not this is a good/bad change overall.

              • Warlocks are the only 1 who can 1 shot melee and only if they're sun singing.

                There was a ninja nerf to damage resistance (that came out with the pulse rifle buff) that applied to arc blade and radiance. If you are trying to say hunters are underpowered in pvp with respect to warlocks and titans, you're wrong (even with the ninja nerf). It seems hunter supers are supposed to be high risk/high reward; they allow you to kill multiple targets that are spread out. Warlocks and titan supers are great for controlling or clearing out small areas. IMO the classes are pretty balanced the way they are. I personally think the bladedancer is the pest pvp class because of passive abilities such as blink, arcbolt, hungering blade, fast twitch/backstab, and switching weapons immediately. [spoiler]If you are suggesting shoulder charge is OP, make a Titan and use it first. Then, start another post, and we'll have a real discussion.[/spoiler]

                • [quote]It takes 4 hits to kill a titan with a ward of dawn over shield.[/quote] I can confirm this is false. I have ran into a bubble countless time and did one show stopper killing everyone inside. The overshield makes them take 1-2 shots.

                  • Titans do not have a 1 hit melee. Shoulder charge is not the standard melee attack, and it has a charge time making it balanced with a window for use, and with all these people intentionally lagging, it doesn't 1 shot half the time anymore

                  • Blink strike has never been a 1HK. That's why the blink-shotgun-blink strike move is / was so popular, because if the shotgun doesn't do it, the melee will. Bonus if you have hungering blade equipped, too.

                      [quote]It taking two hits to kill a player, usually occurs with titans.[/quote] Probably due to maxing armour stat. [quote]Can be killed just as easily during super activation and duration.[/quote] If they got a good shot on you while you're going for others, its not too hard to kill a blade dancer. [quote]If a warlock starts the nova bomb animation blade dancer cannot kill warlock before animation completes.[/quote] Not too sure about this. Could just be some invulnerability frames. [quote]It takes 4 hits to kill a titan with a ward of dawn over shield.[/quote] ...Do I really have to say anything about this one? Titan with max armour stat = 2 hits + Blessing/Armour of Light = 4 [quote]Titans and warlocks both have 1 hit melee kills.[/quote] Titan's OHK melee is a perk in the final row of the skill tree, and only for Striker. It takes out the Super defense buff so it's a fair trade. Warlock's OHK melee is only the first melee attack while in Radiance, I believe. I use my Space Magic over Radiance in PvP. [quote]Blink strike will only kill when health is low, and throwing knife will only kill when health is low. (I'm not sure if it can kill a full health guardian with a head shot).[/quote] As does the other actual melee skills. All melees take too hits to kill if at full health. [quote]Also blade dancer can only create 4 orbs, found that out during hard mode crota.[/quote] BD is known for making the least amount of orbs, no idea why as they have the highest chance of dying during super. [quote]Does anyone have thoughts about this? Is it cause the hunter class is so deadly it needs to be reduced to be even with other classes?[/quote] BD is only good in PvP. They are very nice at being stealthy in raids and whatnot, but overall, GG is better for PvE use. There have not been any nerfs to the classes - unless Bungie nerfed them and didn't post it in the patch notes, but I don't think so. People have just gotten used to the game now and know how to deal with other classes' super.

                      • People are catching on to how to counter dancers. A blade dancer in a confined space doesn't stand a chance against preydyths revenge and a nicely timed melee.

                        • No, people are starting to use Titans and warlocks to kill them as soon as they see them. I've also learned thorn while blinking backwards works pretty well
