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.

good job OP on getting the responses you wanted. But seriously though, no idea why guys hate invisible BDs. They're like the easiest to kill, I'm not a Dreg who'll walk around it, the shimmering outline is quite enough in PvP. Might be bad for the shotgun dudes who do duels with other shotgun dudes. I imagine it might involve some quick pumping without looking at radar or keeping eyes closed while shooting. An invisible BD might work then. To be honest, some 1500+ games on main toon, yet cannot remember a single time that an invisible BD has got the drop on me. If you guys want to waste a slot in PvP on skill tree with a perk clearly made for PvE - thats cool. In PvE - yea invisibility rocks. Often the go to build when doing weeklys/solo NFs.
