They are balanced by the other supers. There is no shield on blade dancers either. There is a slight, very slight, damage decrease when blade dancing. However, blade dancing only seems op when used by a skilled hunter and is VERY easily shut down by the other class supers.

Slight? I've seen a Bladedancer take an Interceptor rocket to the face from 10-15 feet and still have half his health. That's a bit more than slight.
-
Slight? It cuts all damage in half
-
Nope, not in half. I'm going to try and test hunter dmg reduction with friends and actually see the damage we "reduce."
-
Have you played a hunter? BC I'm a hunter main, and it is not half. I do use the hungering blade perk that regens my health near instantly when I get a kill blade dancing or with blink strike. However, the damage reduction is closer to 10-15%, nothing near half.

I have to melee a blade dancer 4 times to kill him. Normally it's 2. 4/2=2
-
Why are you meleeing a blade dancer? That's the worst answer to them. And if you were able to kill them by melee attack, they weren't very good....
-
That's irrelevant. Either way it took 4 melee hits.
-
You're very lucky you even got more than one melee. Not to mention if he used hungering blade and killed one of your teammates, his health would have been regenerated, so the circumstances surrounding how it took 4 melee hits to kill the blade dancer are completely relevant.

The point is that I had to hit him 4 times while he was blinded
