Hahahahahahaahhahaa I'm beginning to think this whole balance thing is just a joke... They nerfed the worst super in the game, and left Hammer of Sol (pretty much Bladedancer on steroids) untouched....
In all seriousness though...
Let's just have a moment of silence for Bladedancer....
Edit: Well this post really blew up... I'm trying to respond to most of the comments!
Edit: A lot of people saying Hammer of Sol is just as bad as Arc Blade.... Not trying to start a class war because at this point I don't even care, but that's simply not true in the slightest. All the advantages of HoS: Better mobility, has a ranged attack, better at close range (Suncharge OHKs Blade but Blade (a "melee-based" super, also a single thrown Hammer kills a Blade...) takes 2 swipes to kill a Hammer), and has more armor. Again, I'm not trying to start a class war, I'm just clearing this up because I had to explain this to at least 3 people and that number will only go up.

Edit: Thanks @Maestro25 for pointing this out... Skip to 36:45 in this video for their reasoning behind nerfing this super... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0gzJJ4rzvY&feature=youtu.be

3 RepliesWith the incoming shorty nerf you'll be glad the nerfed hungering blade.

18 RepliesAnd the reasonings behind the nerf you may ask. Because a developer found it frustrating to play against. -mind blown-

Finally. That shit was ridic op

3 RepliesEdited by DarckAssassin: 2/9/2017 9:56:36 PMIts like bungie wants every class to have a trash subclass for PvP. Bladedancer now can sit in the corner with sunsinger and sunbreaker.Sigh...

What did that Warlock do to you?
-
Well honestly... it sorta fits with the special nerf. Most of the time, if you saw an arc blade, you'd kill it with a shotty, but with special nerfed, you can't do that nearly as easily. Just wait an see how it turns out. If it's crap, then just wait another 6 months for a change.

About time too. Getting killed by the same Arcblade fckwit at opposite ends of the map by the same guy in the same fking super was getting a bit tedious. Also they might die to rockets/supers and or multiple shotguns blasts now.
-
Oh ok, thanks. I was uncertain whether they actually did or not.
-
Stupidest Bungie nerf yet, which is saying a lot.

9 RepliesFrom my forum post: About this while bladedancer nerf and everyone crying about it makes me realize how this community has little critical thinking skills. Lets think about this. What kills a bladedancer most while trying to kill a guardian? A shotgun critical blast to your head/melee and a lot of the times it doesnt work. So. Now that shotguns will barely have ammo and they can't critical.. What stops a bladedancer from swiping a whole team in close proximity(They are very hard to team shoot) blinking and or double jumping and on top of that regent health every kill.(Unlike the cool down on the similar sunbreaker perk) Point is with all the changes to the crucible sandbox Bungie saw a potential problem and everyone should actually start looking at this for what it is: an indirect bladedancer buff because now it will be significantly harder to shut you down(same with stormcaller and sunbreaker)

I'm still scratching my head over the Bladedancer nerf. It's already a fairly weak class, so I don't get it.
-
Blade dancer is the weakest sub class
-
Trade-dance needed a buff imo. Not a nerf
-
R.I.P BLADEDANCERS. After vid give a moment of silence to bladedancers.
-
7 RepliesBlade was fine. Double skips needed a nerf
-
3 RepliesConsider me done... I don't know what they were trying to achieve by doing this but they succeeded in getting me to stop playing.
-
17 RepliesGood to know that Bungie hasn't improved since I left Destiny.

It is about time they did. Stats do not lie, on average blade gets the most kills per super. I would have liked to see it implemented in another fashion. It seems a bit much right now, but it will be a different game soon and may still be as lethal. I agree with the titan comparison.
-
Honestly, this patch won't bring me back to the game. Until vog comes back I'm done
-
3 Repliesim so upset about this, because I have mained blade since i began playing. It has always been viable, but now, because bungie doesn't play their own game, nerfed blade. WHY DID YOU NERF THE WORST SUPER? Blade has no abilities, asssuming that they nerf skips. Arcbolt sucks, skips will suck, their melee is SHORTER than warlock's base melee... RIP BLADE WTF BUNGIE??!?!?!?
-
5 RepliesAt least it won't be as dead as sunsinger currently is.
-
I know, who here mains blade? I don't even use it when it's arc burn, shit like this perfectly illustrates what a shit show Destiny 2 is going to be. They've showed us what they're capable of, this is it lol. Borderlands 3 cannot get here soon enough. Amazing.
