What?! Nothing is supposed to be more powerful than my Kamehameha...

Better question; why does Blade Barrage pop my Ward of Dawn like an overripened grape?

Gonna guess you’re referring to the power it has in pve, which is an understandable question. Usually, the balance is that if it’s a one-off super, it deals high damage up front, but a roaming super always does more damage over the course of the super. Chaos reach is kinda lack luster in that it has no area effect and deals (comparatively) low damage over the course of the super. The most reasonable answer I can think of is that it’s not meant for nuking bosses, but rather heavy adds, since you can turn it off early. This provides a fairly reliable stream of supers cast to knock out that bullet-sponge Knight, or the surprise servator, and generate powerful orbs for your teammates instead of dumping power ammo into it, while having the option to cancel, maintaining some super energy so you can do it again that much quicker. This, combined with storm caller’s neutral game, regenerating abilities quickly with those... lightning orb things... there is potential to trivialize most encounters, even if the boss dies slower when solo. All that said, I wouldn’t mind seeing Chaos Reach get a boost to it’s power at the start of the super which decays over time, to make these targeted snipes more reliable, so super energy is easier to maintain.

Hunters have to have the most powerful stuff or else the forum is full of nothing but tears. See Hammer of Sol at release

Beucase its the Hunter equivalent of a Nova Bomb. If you're a Marvel comics fan, think Gambit and his exploding cards.

I hit a warlock nova warping me with 2 titan hammers and guess what... he didn't die, i did. Supers are situational, none are equal. Light matters in the Iron Banner Guardian, Chose your battles wisely.

I was playing the Missile spec on my Titan the other day, doing some PvP. There was a warlock coming at me with his electricity super, so I jumped on a pillar, then up high and bombed him. I hit him directly in the head from above. I died, he walked away. WTF????

Maybe because warlocks don’t have to have the most powerful of everything. Seriously this post sounds like a childish complaint. Why do you have to insult another class and basically complain that another class has a good super? There are ways that this could have been worded that don’t sound like a toddler throwing a tantrum the way you did. Some examples: Why don’t you buff arc warlocks in pve so they can do better add clearing? Chaos reach is ineffective when focusing on one enemy. Why is it more effective to shoot a herald of the plague’s shield with an AR than chaos Reach? The super has some problems in pve but wording your issue like you’re upset someone else got a new toy and you like it more is childish and does nothing but drag down the discussion into warlocks being jealous of hunters rather than chaos reach needing a buff.

Wtf? One is a sustained super the other goes out in one shot. One can be aimed at different enemies the other shoots in just 1 direction
-
I have seen hunter mains cry for buff to the blade barrage in these forums *I died inside*
-
Hunters finally get a panic super after 4 years and people want to complain?
-
Blade barrage is just as good as Warlocks Nova Bomb. Titans are the only ones that don’t get anything fancy. Also Warlock has the best support sub class as well. Hunter only gets one while Warlock gets two. Seems legit to complain about Hunters as usual. [spoiler]warlocks got all the best stuff[/spoiler]

I posted about this on Reddit and here. It’s pretty lame and it should definitely be adjusted but I’m not holding my breath. I really like Forsaken but Bungie’s approach, or non-approach, to class balance just sucks the soul right out of the game for me. It’s frustrating because if they balanced the classes and removed Masterwork Cores from infusion there wouldn’t be anything of substance to complain about.
-
All supers need a buff again in PVE at least till they are on par with the hunters blade barrage
-
It's a better shutdown Super than Nova Bomb. Cataclysm is horrible for consistently tracking targets by comparison.
-
Y’all, Gunslinger has been a garbage, poorly designed subclass, usable only for Nighthawk in raids and nightfall, since D2’s launch. Stop complaining now that we actually have something on par with the rest of you.
-
Well I'd say maybe cause the blade barrage does add burning as well.
-
Can I just get the new Sentinel to look different from the other 2 options. Commander is freaking insane in its potential but c'mon Bungie at least give it a new look for Pete's sake.
