I know people are going to look at this and say it's fine but...you can see the blade barrage take out half it's health in an instant, from a safe distance.
But a thundercrash only took out maybe a quarter of it's health and he got killed by quake.
The potential recharge speed doesn't make this ok because we have plenty of supers that have exotics that can generate them super faster and with our current orb model, spamming supers has been so easy.
Even with the nerf to super energy, perks like ashes to assets, hands on, etc are still going to help us get our supers faster and so will orbs but yet...they only take account of this for thundercrash and leave it's damage garbage?
Nobodies ever going to use it with an example like that floating around.

Thundercrash is garbage but Blade Barrage did only do that much damage due to the solar singe. In terms of PvE damage with Hunter solar classes, only 6 shooter Goldy is worse than it. Anyone that tries to use BB for anything other than wiping out trash mobs is a doofus.

Blade barrage still does a lot of damage. There have been tests to show that if they all hit it's still in the 320,000 damage level if we use forsakens numbers. Thundercrash does just above half that.

The supers damage was reduced in January along with the Shards nerf.

This was post nerf. Aw I can't find the video.

I totally agree the Thundercrash needs a buff, I'm just saying I wouldn't hold up Blade Barrage as some shining light for PvE. It's the worst of the solar hunter supers, top tree is better for PvP. Bottom tree is better for PvE. The only thing it has going for it is it's neutral game in PvE (knives).

Lmao I didn't notice that blade barrage at first. That must be what people are talking about when they say "but this is solar singe!" Singes don't do a whole lot though. Regardless, Thundercrash [i]really[/i] needs a damage buff. Not a gigantic one, just get it to compete with blade barrage, and the nova bombs. I've seen the arguement that it regens faster than other supers but... it's not much (and sharpshooter golden gun recharges faster than other supers and it's really good). Plus you'd basically have to run skullfort all the time just to make it viable so idk.
