I totally agree! For me is the best looking super in the game, but it lacks in hit detection - mainly when fast hitting in majors- 'cause it pass through. Besides the PvP part. In addiction, i think the when PERFECT EXECUTION is active you SHOULD get a speed buff, to make the new melee more viable. There's no sense that the main perk require to kill while crouching - easy when far away from enemies - and and excelent melee only in close range

Yes it needs a damage buff as most supers 1 hit hill like arkstrider. You also seem to go through enemies and the damage dose not register. You just go flying around in random directions. I wouldn't use it in PvP it's to week it took 3 hits to kill a player with full heath and shield it's useless in PvP.

I agree with all of this. I have been using spectral blades since launch of forsaken and to be honest i am extremely underwhelmed. compared to the other supers of other classes, this one is really underwhelming and even handicapped. As stated, the super hit registration is awful, sometimes it takes as much as 3 melee hits to kill one guardian in pvp. There is no dash ability like titans to close the gap between you and your enemies and since invisibility doesn't throw off aim assist anymore, you have to spam light attack like crazy to close the distance and hope to god that you don't get mowed down before you get to your target. most of the times against other supers i lose the battle, infact if i see somebody activate their super, i don't even use mine to try to kill them because i know in a super vs super battle, chances are im going to lose and waste my super. As stated by ABBADON, having to crouch and get a precision kill to activate flawless execution is not viable, destiny 2 is a game of jumping, moving and strafing when dueling, so when you have to sit and crouch to get a precision kill to activate your most important ability, its really annoying since when crouched your mobility is extremely limited. Shattering strike itself is ok, but even that is lack luster in pvp because 50% bonus damage to a single enemy in pvp for 6 seconds isn't nearly as important as 50% bonus damage to a boss in pve. Its not a bad super by any means but its just extremely lack luster compared to other supers and skills and the skills don't really synergize that well especially in pvp. The changes i would recommend would be, some kind of dash ability to close the distance or increase movement speed longer duration in super because it runs out really fast attack buff so it doesn't take 2 hits to kill a guardian enemies don't get aim assist when you go into super(The whole premise of this super is being invisible ) so when you are getting mowed down when you are invisible so easily, the premise doesn't make as much sense) A better and more viable way to proc flawless execution and a tweak to shattering strike to make it more applicable to more situations. For those who think these recommendations may sound game breaking or unreasonable, there are supers with flaming hammers that launch fire tornados, human missiles with huge aoe damage, a disintegrating beam of light fired from the hands, flaming sword spam, 1000 flaming knives and much more. compared to other supers, as a spectral blader, you are severely outmatched currently. please make this super on par with the others Bungie

I agree with all of this, despite having moments of great success with it. The inconsistencies and lack of overall speed and ability to close gaps outweighs the potential to make plays imo. If they don't add something that helps make closing gaps easier, then the super either needs to a) last longer or b) not use so much energy per light attack, since that's mainly what is used to close gaps.

I've done a star of David around a boss while trying to hit him. Super used up and no damage done.

Those are issues in pve as well. The biggest one for me is having to crouch to proc invis. That was a pre launch change. It wasn’t that way when the early details for the tree were found. It kills the whole mobility of the hunter. As for move speed, there are some good options for that, passive move speed bonus while invisible (both in and out of super, add a dodge ability to the super say a blink dash similar to the new void warlock or a taken thrall (would probably be too OP), or add another method to go invis mid super that doesn’t use up super energy. Other interesting changes that could make the three more unique would be to add a hologram similar to halo reach, say creates a hologram that mirrors your movement on dodge, or have the smoke produce one with a possible teleport to decoy on second button press (would also probably be too OP but would match the archetype well.) or ditch the smoke for a stronger melee class melee ability. The damage smoke just doesn’t feel like it stands out enough from the other trees. Haven’t played the new trees for the other classes yet to weigh in. This isn’t a only buff hunters post, just me pointing out when I see a tree that could use improvement or changes to better fit an archetype.

Lol poor hunter Cit- Sentinel titan

I agree that the hit registration could be better. Also, the crouching to proc flawless executioner is kind of annoying but I've gotten in the habit of sliding and immediately landing a precision blow as it seems there is a slight delay from the end of the slide to when you can no longer proc the perk.

Im more upset that of my 9 new supers most are just mild changes to existing supers. I find that to be extraordinarily boring and in poor taste of bungie to advertise NEW when they are just slight variations.

Agree with all of it.
