I admit it.
I have become the thing I hated.
I have gone ahead and used my fully-leveled Blade Dancer class in the Crucible.
Prior to this, I only used this set of abilities in PvE, because I absolutely DESPISE invisible Hunters crouching behind every wall with shotguns, or camping with sniper rifles, or especially Arc Blading their way around every map.
But I decided to give it a try. And even though I'm not very good at it yet, I've given a few people a very bad surprise or two. Especially when I was invisible and had Felwinter's Lie near to hand.
As Eliot Ness said in "The Untouchables", "I have become what I beheld."
IT GETS WORSE.
I also leveled up as a Sunsinger.
Yes, I am now a shameless flamer. I am trolling people with endless fusion grenades (which curve to track and stick to their targets; that's not in the class description, but it's what makes them so damn annoying).
It took me about 3 matches to finish out both the Pull The Pin and Revengeance bounties using Fusion Grenades alone.
I am now playing as the class I hate above all others.
I have surrendered all honor and decency. This is the ultimate in shame.
What is a Guardian to do?
I can take pride in only one thing:
I have not yet popped a purple bubble on a control zone.
But I suppose that final degradation isn't far away.

Not all crouch invis hunters sneak behind walls. I crouch so I can safely move from place to place in the middle of the match, my melee makes me invisible because it surprises my close quarters opponent or allows me to escape if I am low on health. I vanish with my arc blade because it gives me an extra moment to recover from arc blading and get my setup right for more slaying. You cause use that build and not be a total turd nugget like so many hunters must have done early on to get this bad rep. Also, fusion grenades are nice but nothing beats a firebolt near two or three guardians so I can one shot them anywhere and get a triple down :) A sticky is a nice bailout but I'd rather just kill and I'm sure I am not the only guardian to figure this out. Cheers bud! All chars are fun to play on!
