I feel like the stealth aspect is more fitting of Nightstalker. Don't get me wrong, I love myself some Bladedancer pvp fun, but Arcstrider is what Bladedancer should have been: useful in all game modes.

Bladedancer has more invis. Bladedancer has extended invis Bladedancer has Blink. Bladedancer has Backstab Bladedancer has Fluxes/Skips/Arcbolts Bladedancer has QD Invis from Vanish remains active even after the super has ended (at the end of Arc Blade, press RT/R2, go invis and it's still there even after the super ends) :) Way of the Wraith has Invis when casting super. Invis deactivates when super ends No Blink Truesight, okay, it's fine, but radar is a thing, and its not that hard to just figure where your target is by knowing the map. Even if they're on the outer edge of your radar you can figure it out pretty easily. Invis on precision kill. Okay. You have to be crouching. Well, Bladedancer gets invis from crouching without needing a precision kill so your argument is invalid. Smoke + Nade is great, but Bladedancer gets Skips, and those things are disgusting. Bladedancees can even hold 2 charges at a time with Shinobu's Vow, which is much more lethal than smoke for aggressive play imo. Plus in D2 the wombo combo isn't nearly as good as it was in D1. So yeah, from a D1Y1 vet whose time with Bladedancer amounts to over 5 years (yes, I've been going back to D1 even nowadays), Bladedancer is better overall. The super is kind of a tie, but Bladedancer's neutral is just sooo much better.

Tractor cannon + void blade = DPS????

Unless spectral blades suppresses supers, Arcstrider will win.

Played @ gamescom last week. Spectral is definately better.

Spectral has more attack types and its neutral game is overall not terrible, I wouldn't say Blade had a good neutral game without exotic support.

Judging by the invisibility function on Spectral I'd venture to guess it'll be better in the long run. It's just too bad it doesn't have Blink.

Overall, I’d say Bladedancer. They both have similar supers but Bladedancer has the superior neutral game. The only thing Spectral Blades has going for it against Bladedancer is wall hacks and potentially the smoke melee. They both have a Invisibility, but Bladedancer has multiple ways of getting invisibility that are much easier. Bladedancer also has QuickDraw, hungering blade and blink. In terms of appearance however, Spectral blades wins by a mile.
