I was thinking about using blade dancer in trials than I realized how shit arc bolt is now and quick draw isn't good enough to make up for the super. 6 out of the other 8 supers can constantly destroy blade dancer. RIP blade dancer- sept 15th, 2015

Edited by Syrious: 10/28/2015 6:10:06 PMBlade dancers have always had the worst super after the nerf months after release. And now with the recent nerfs, the subclass in general is pretty bad. Sunbreaker is just flat out op.

Magnetic?
-
The tracking on the hammers is so little it's invalid

I used to use Bladedancer but honestly it's not worth it compared to the other Hunter supers and going up against other classes. I've hardly seen any Bladedancers since TTK came out.

You forgot how a Bladedancer can go invis to no skill kill someone. Huntards.

8 RepliesEdited by SiKoMaNTiS: 10/28/2015 1:30:19 PMIt could actually go either way. The bladedancer can tank a single hammer and still have a chance to beat the titan up close But the titan has range

Blink?

Advantages of Sunbreaker: Nearly unstoppable super Disadvantage of Arcblade: Nearly everything stops the super
-
Blade is overall better in every way except it lacks a good counter to sunbreaker. It's the only class in the game that has a difficult time countering sunbreaker. But in the same token if a no super game mode came out you would see bladedancer on top. Really a loaded question lol.

1 ReplyThe only way i see a blade dancer win is if it vanishes, and attacks indirectly... Love watching bladedancers spam their way toward my sunbreaker.. Toss a hammer at a distance, and suncharge them to finish them off...
-
No time between arc blade swings, aim assist, hungering blade...
-
Id say bladedancer because it has more useful perks when you aren't in your super. Super V super, obviously the sunbreakers win.
-
1 Reply1-3 when i tried to get into a sunbreaker but i was thinking if i have my blink on i might go even.

2 RepliesIf both players see each other at the same time and assuming they both have thumbs, the sun breaker wins everytime. However, if a blade dancer can attack from ANY other angle besides front, and assuming they are in melee range, they can easily win. I've killed many a sun breaker with blade dancer, have even wiped out a sun breaker and sith lord in the same super. The only truly ridiculous trait of the sun breaker is their health and proximity detonation on their hammers. A sun breaker currently is basically a sun singer with slightly more health and grenades that OHK... Not okay. They are able to be killed though.
-
Are they on Super mode or not, because that changed alot.
-
I've always had problems with blade dancer mainly cause of their quickness unlike sunbreaker I can snipe them or rocket them or super them before they kill me but blade dancer is the one I have more trouble kill or stoping b4 they get super up
-
5 RepliesThe "Arc tard" has other abilities like stealth and blink. You cannot only compare the supers. Also, the arc tard can go invisible to get off radar and easy mode kill people. Silly Huntards.....

4 RepliesI wish bungie'd restore bladedancer to it's former state, it used to be really good, comparable to golden gun and sunbreaker. But now it's barely better than a sword...
-
Bladedancer is broken. 3 kills = 1 orb
-
And people say sunbreakers aren't op, and the source of their balance is their neutral play. Make up your damn minds.
-
They're both great but I prefer sun breakers range even if I do love BD
-
Nice to see that you baised the advantages... Oh btw most of the time bd can beat sb
