Why does everyone keep saying it?
"Bladedancer was nerfed so bad, no one uses it!"
Besides Grenades and Blink being nerfed(which also affected warlocks) the super itself has never been nerfed. Ever.
If anyone can find me patch notes that have proof that the Bladedancer super was nerfed then please do so.
Oh, and don't give me that "Secret Nerf" bullshit. I wanna see concrete proof.
Edit; My point is that Arcblade never received an "armor nerf" or "health nerf". There are absolutely no patch notes or articles that state it.
Edit 2: https://youtu.be/J8C6zq617oM a video detailing Arcblade year one and year two! Credit goes to Eugeine. Please bring this to light. The 2.0 update has messed around with the Arcblade in general. That isn't fair and should be fixed as soon as possible.

8 RepliesEdited by Powerath: 11/8/2015 10:45:18 PMSo you're saying Bungie has never implemented something that wasn't in the patch notes? Arc Blade's accuracy was nerfed quite noticeably. I don't expect you to notice that though. (Sunbreaker titan as profile picture) Quick Draw was also nerfed. Weapons aren't ready immediately anymore. Noticed that when I used my fusion rifle after the 2.0 update.

I don't personally have any proof but I've heard that when destiny first came out blade dancers was stupid in crucible, insane health pool and lasted a bit longer than it does now. Apparently the health pool was reduced and the super times.

Well I can snipe a bladedancer in the head... lol its not broken.... a titan however though... maybe the nerf to it should be if u are not using high armour u can be one shot by 1000yard stare sort of snipes

I've been saying this forever

4 RepliesYes it was. Razor’s Edge no longer penetrates Ward of Dawn. You can read it in the patch notes.

3oC was never nerfed either.

I think they did do a nerf and it is in some patch notes if I recall.

1 ReplyEverybody says arc blade was nerfed because they stopped going unkillable with it. I know exactly what happened to it because im not blind. Nothing. Nothing happened to arc blade. Which leaves the question why have people stopped going unkillable with it? (As thats why they it got nerfed) People learned. After a while there were both better guns and better players. Everyone knew what arc blade did and eventually people adapted. Same thing is going to happen with sunbreakers. Hell i find myself in fun skirmishes with those death titans as i already have adapted to them.

1 ReplyI think it may be less a nerf and more that the other two "continuous" Supers are so strong against it. Try to Arcblade a Titan who's using Hammer of Sole or a Warlock setting off Stormtrance, and the fight will be brief, one-sided, and extremely embarrassing.

1 ReplyWarlocks and titans are just happy that bladedancers got nerfed so they can get some kill in the Crucible for once in thier lives.

With hos in the game wtf is the point of using anything else

Mainly because blink was nerfed its bad now but i fell like sometimes the hits dont register or if they are in the air i cant hit them

3 RepliesIt's the blink nerf. You used to be able to blink and have your sniper drawn and aimed before you hit the ground or blink switch to your shotty and shoot before you hit the ground. It was the blink nerf that hurt it

Edited by cuzzybubba1: 11/8/2015 11:47:39 PMThe Bladedancer armor buff was reduced, back in the day I'd run encore because hungering blade wasn't needed you were unstoppable but around November 14 to January 15 in there it was Ninja nerf'd anyone who ran a BD knows this. It's still good, the only people who stopped using it were those who habitually used it for blink shotgun. Now, the blink change hurt because it's easier to track you and also the short stops can ruin your day real quick.

1 ReplyVanilla Arc Blade was nearly unkillable. I came back to the game right after HoW was released and suddenly everyone was killing you with a shotgun blast and sometimes a follow up melee if necessary. So either it was ninja-nerfed, which Bungie absolutely has done with things in the past, or weapons became significantly more powerful. One or the other because AB was absolutely without a doubt more powerful in early vanilla.

2 RepliesSeptember 8th says nothing about Arcblade being nerfed.

I remember people saying there was an armor nerf in the HoWs update but it was around that time you could get high impact shotguns and take them out. Either way, you could kill blade dancers a lot easier than before when HoW dropped.

1 ReplyI personally spoke to DeeJ about this, at first he was like "how did you get my personal phone # and how do you know where I live?" and then after a few days of me camping down the block in the woods he realized I wasn't going away so he finally answered and said ArcBlade was never nerfed, you were right. P.S. I love how you redecorated your house

1 Reply[quote]"secret nerf" bullshit[/quote] Bungie loves their secret changes, so why are they bullshit? Bladedancer used to last way longer than it does, the damage was nerfed a long time ago, prior to TTK, and the grenades and melees were fixed/nerfed. Bladedancer is still great for Trials, but not anything it used to be.

3 RepliesEdited by wizardeiges: 11/8/2015 10:38:37 PMWhy would it need one? A small shotgun and melee kills them. Never had a problems with bladedancers since they are pretty useless lol. At least they aren't throwing 9 one hit kill hammers with the blast radius of a maxed out blast radius rocket launcher and have the armor of a radiant skin+unnerfed ram helm. Blade dancers and their shitty supers are the least of our problems [b]COUGH SUNBREAKER COUGH[/b]
