Your right the super is fine. However have you asked yourself why bungie nerfs things and looked back at bungie’s history of nerfing? Even things that are perfectly balanced get nerfed (mida, sleeper, ikelos shotgun, etc.) So why does bungie do this and whose fault is it? If something is used more than everything else it is going to get a nerf. Blade barrage is used 90% of the time on hunters in both pvp and pve. Hunters are still the most used class inflating the use time of that super even more. So it’s the players fault for always using the same loadouts for everything. Why does bungie care? They want their game as balanced as possible. Why? So you have more options to chose from meaning you are more likely to play more trying everything out. Their goal is just to get everyone to play their game as much as possible so they can sell more games/expansions/season passes. So if something is nerfed that was already balanced it is your fault and any other player who never changed their loadouts up. If comp (or other game modes) had loadout rules things would probably never get nerfed. (No duplicate subclasses, loadouts etc.)

Have to agree. All this came because of Mayhem. People using shards got their supers back a bit quicker. Blade barrage is fine. Titan can smash a team, run across map and smash them again, run and smash again. They have 4 attempts to smash people. They have captain america shield throws and smashes and exploding hammers. All Titan supers are roaming supers and there's nothing wrong with them. Warlocks have the most ridiculous supers in pvp. We all know nova warp is crazy. A super that can kill you through walls, last forever and requires no aiming at all. Dawnblades? Tracking fire swords thst can last an entire match?!? And the human lazer. All the supers, if used by everyone, will appear op. Bungie listened to the complainers in D1 and kept wrecking their game. It seems they have forgotten this.

Self damage is fine. Knife tracking needs to stay. In blind well yesterday, it was impossible to clear adds unless I hit a yellowbar. Watched majority of the knives consistently hit dirt when adds weren’t perfectly grouped. Why? Because some PvPers don’t like getting killed. Makes no sense.

I've been playing all 3 classes since D1 and hunter has always been my main. That said, I really don't see a problem with being able to hurt yourself with blade barrage. A few points to keep in mind: 1. The knives EXPLODE. That's how explosions work. It's already good that your explosions don't kill your teammates in Destiny. 2. You can hurt yourself with Nova bomb. Why not blade barrage? If anything, you should probably be able to hurt yourself with top tree sunbreaker hammers too. If you toss/throw it and it explodes, you should be able to hurt/kill yourself. Don't like it? Don't super 'nade yourself in the face. 3. Sorry, but if you're using it point-blank, then you're doing it wrong. This is something blade barrage & nova bomb have in common. Even if neither super caused damage to the caster, I'd still say you're using it wrong. Nova bomb is like the rocket of supers and blade barrage is like the Wardcliff of supers. It makes sense that you can hurt yourself and should avoid aiming them at your feet (top tree sunbreaker is kinda like the cluster-rocket or cluster-grenade of supers and I think you should be able to kill yourself with that too). That being said, I will disagree with those that say blade barrage is OP. It's OP in Mayhem and Blind Well, but that's about it - and every class has at least one super build that's just as OP in Mayhem/Blind Well, but it doesn't matter, because, well.....Mayhem/Blind Well.
