EDIT: Lawd now I've lost complete faith in our education system... No where does it say I want BDs nerfed. On the contrary, this post is [b]designed to call out the nerfhearders.[/b] They've been justifying recent nerfs by saying "But BladeDancers were killed by nerfs in Year One!" That's false. Below I explain why. [End Edit] [] Ok so I've had enough of seeing these fallacious post about this phantom Y1 BladeDancer nerfhammer. HOW WERE BLADEDANCERS NERFED IN Y1??! Bladedancers WERE NOT hit hard by nerfs in year 1. They DID NOT get an armor nerf. They DID have only 3 notable nerfs: 1. [b]Arcbolts[/b] 2. [b]Slight nerf to fleetfooted[/b] 3. [b]Slight nerf to Quickdraw.[/b] [spoiler] So it has come to my attention that Quickdraw was given a HUGE buff in one of the very first patches. Appearently it was an active perk that activated on Kill like Force Barrier but it was changed to a passive perk which is [b]active 24/7 now.[/b] That alone is one of the single biggest buffs that Bungie has ever did. [/spoiler] 4. [b]*Blink Nerf*[/b] [spoiler](Normally wouldn't count this since Blink Nerfs hurt Voidwalkers more due to them not having Quickdraw or Fleetfooted which helps soften the blow from Blink's mobility reduction. But due to popular demand, I'll list it here[/spoiler] Hardly gamechanging. Both Hunter classes dominated in Y1 all the up until TTK came out. The data showed this. The data showed this. The data showed this. [b]The data showed this.[/b] [i]The data showed this.[/i] I've done extensive research in this subject and have not found any other significant nerfs. And not a single person on these forums have been able to answer this question. Most Hunters didn't even know about the quickdraw and fleetfooted nerfs. All I heard was Arcbolts (fair enough ) and armor (WRONG!) Bladedancers had 60% Damage Reduction in the Beta but upon release they had 50%. Their armor was never reduced after release. Never! If someone can show me evidence to the contrary then I will alter my post. But I doubt any of you can do this as the evidence doesn't exist. [spoiler]The data showed this[/spoiler]
