  • They exist, Bungo simply decided to not add them cuz yeah. Blade dancer is basically spectral blades though.

    • You should know by now that ability/weapon lore is out the window. Just look at Hard Light. The lore for the gun states that it's "an infinite range zero drop-off projection weapon platform." Until Bungie nerfed it.

      • As some others have said already: It’s just game mechanics. All the supers in both games (except Stasis) already existed before, still exist now, and will continue to exist. Sunsinger and Bladedancer aren’t in D2 but still exist. Arcstrider and Sentinel Shield weren’t in D1 but have existed since long before. The game mechanics are huge limiters. We can do [i]way[/i] more with the Light than the restricting rules of the game allow.

        What if when the red legion cut us off from the light, when the light returned the traveler only allowed some uses of its power to come back? Only thing I can think of.

      • Let’s start a petition. I made a warlock to use sunsinger, I was incredibly disappointed when I learned I would never have that chance since they removed it in d2[spoiler]yes I could go back to do it once, but I don’t want to[/spoiler]

      • The lore is: Bungie could have reworked Sunsinger to work in D2 (and not as Luke Smith dictates "players not using their super." You know a lot of us still don't use our super... it's called "self imposed challenges"), but they chose instead to do the whole boring Dawn Blade thing. Seriously, it's boring. I never use it. And for Bladedancer it's, "we're going to need that for year 2. Better turn it into a Void class, and reuse it down the road."

          • <In lore we're capable of a lot more than what we've been shown in either game. Of course, the restrictions are there for gameplay purposes, just like the darkness zone mechanics in areas not related to the Dark, or the checkpoint systems put in place in response to such mechanics.>

            • D1 and D2 exist in separate universes.

            • This is just the tip of the iceberg. Classes and subclasses don’t make much sense from a Lore perspective.

            • I think they're just saying Sunsingers and Bladedancers are still around in lore, just not in game. Apparently both Arcstrider and Dawnblade were around during the Dark Age.
