I'll be honest, I'm a little sick of everyone bitching about arcblade when they've never touched the damn thing in their life. So I looked at my own stats to see how much I use arcblade and if it really is as OP as everyone claims.
Here are the Crucible results for my

Now I did the math and these are the results:
For my hunter, 15.7% of my kills are with my super, this is less than a quarter of my total crucible kills which means that for every 10 kills I get in the crucible, 1.6 of them are an arcblade kill. That's hardly overpowered when 36.4% of my total kills are with primary weapons.
Now we move to my warlock, where Nova Bombs make up 17.2% of my total kill count. While granted this isn't much different it is higher, so percentage wise I get more super kills per game with my warlock than I do with my hunter, so that chucks the "Arcblade is more OP than other supers" idea out the window.
On top of all this my hunter is my main and I have had much more experience with him, so I'm probably better with arcblade than I am with Nova Bomb, yet I still get less kills per game with it. This shows that, for me at least, Nova Bomb is a more powerful super than Arcblade.
What's that I hear? I'm better with Nova Bomb than Arcblade? Well then that proves that Arcblade is balanced, cause if it was overpowered then I would definitely be getting more kills with it than I would with Nova Bomb because it would be a superior ability.
Please let this put an end to the Arcblade nerfing threads once and for all, bump if you agree with me.

Edited by LearnedMath: 11/20/2014 10:53:49 PMHave you determined the standard deviation, margin of error, and variance? It's not given

Play another 199 games with your Warlock and get a fair representation of both classes.

I agree with the mindset that it's not OP, but I don't think using just your own stats is a reasonable focus group. Besides, you say you main your Hunter; so you're obviously going to have more total kills with your main weapons.

Super is so -blam!-ing op and u no it just admit it and enjoy that u have the best and easiest class for pvp

I wont let this thread be pushed into oblivion, bump.

At least Hunters don't panic their super I'm constantly getting nova bombed or titan fisted when it's 1v1 pretty much everytime

I barely see people use it tbh. And when they do I just run, snake, and just basically maneuver my way through the map, in a way that is hard for them to keep up.
