Hey don't talk about TRADEdancer like that

Blade dancer is completely ducking useless now.

I agree with everything you said except the melee part. Blink strike/Back stab still one shots opponents when hitting them head on. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it leaves you and your opponent baffled. I have been on the receiving end of this and likewise did it to a few players. One of the most broken melees in this game.

Ermm an experienced blade dancer can negate all of these things. The jump is more controlled than Titans if you use it right and is perfect for duking out players. Whilst activating blade slide along the floor to avoid being gunned down (this works on gunslinger too and nightstalkers can shadestep before firing). All grenades are extremely good choices. Although I do think that the blinkstrike needs a patch as its backstab detection is stupid. Quickdraw is a good perk it's the sniper ads perks that need buffs.

Well I will admit I agree with some of your points, strongly disagree with others: [quote][u]The invisibility is a joke... Nightstalker has better invis because least a cloud of smoke hides your to dosorent enemies. [/u] [i]This is 50/50 in my book. The Bladedancer can invis off a melee & by croching in place. Nightstalker has to use their smoke. Bladedancer also can remain invisible for an extended duration of time when using their super which can often completely save a team. I will admit the invis could use retooling. But I haven't found it to be lacking. Just like Nightsalker it takes planning & strategy.[/i] [u]The quick draw perk is so nerfed in the ground that even a gun with snapshot and that perk active still take ages to ads.[/u] [i]I have never felt the need to use this so no comment.[/i] Not to mention the animation for super can be killed through unlike all of other classes; this goes for golden gun and shade shot. [i]The animation also turns you invisible if you have the perk chosen right? I personally have never popped it out in the middle of a fray. Mainly because like Stormcaller (without Landfall) & Hammer of Sol the animation is placelocking. I believe you can kill the other subclasses across all 3 classes but their supers being an attack making it riskier. I know I have downed Gunslingers using Truth, even killed Fist of Havoc & Nova Bombing Warlock before they could get the attack off. Watched my friend snipe Nightstalker mid-bowcast. It's possible. Wandering supers just have longer animations.[/i] The flux grenade is no where near as viable as the fusion in regards to its tracking, travel speed, damage when stuck to an enemy, or even the hit box for it. [i]I will agree in saying that Hunter Grenades in general need a retool. Flux Grenade is one of my Grenade of choice. Works just like Fusion tracking wise. I agree in its damage though... Unlike Fusion it does less damage both when attached & not attached to an enemy, vs Fusions who guarantee a kill with attached, & while unstuck have a low chance to kill. Arcbolt Grenade needs love too. Severely. It & Firebolt are very lackluster now a days. Even in PVE they lack use unless there is a burn on. Skip Grenades seem to be quite handy. Gunslingers Grenades also need a retool. Specifically Tripmine (revert the nerf on them), & Swarm (useless). Even Nightstalker grenases could use a once over. Spike grenade sucks (but to ve fair. "I" may be the one who sucks at using them.), Vortex doesn't seem to be as effective as Warlock's Vortex Grenade oddly.[/i] [u]Blink strike is the most broken melee I've ever had to use since the balance update for ttk. Its utterly not even there. I have on so many occasions just flat out swung my knife in mid air whilst 5 feet from an enemy. How the hell is that a blink strike. Its 1.8 meters and the range is suppose to be 1.9 meters![/u] [i]I have had no issues with it. I spam the hell out of it actually. It refreshes nearly instantly too, so misjudging distance is hardly penalizing. Honestly, are you positive you aren't misjudging the distance?[/i] [u]hunter being the slowest class ever compared to titan skate[/u] [i]Disagree here, Hunters by default run/sprint faster than thebother classes. Everytime I switch over to my Hunter I immediately feel the difference in speed in honestly everything. Titan Skate, Warlock Surf [u]TECHNICALLY[/u] are exploits. So they cannot be legitimately held up to the standard. Hunters can do similiar with Bones of Eao/Triple Jump & the base Sprint Speed. But its not as nessicary as a just sprinting & sliding.[/i] [/quote]

I see most of the twitch streamers switched from hunters to warlocks for that beloved shotgun+melee combo

Just putting this out there, blink strike backstab has more use than you're giving it credit for. It procs almost 85% of the time from above the head and that means it can kill roaming supers paired with shotty.

Really the super is fine as it is if you change one thing. Ditch the the ascension of power animation. Striker doesn't need to go all super nova group fire target in order to use their super. Storm trance does but it also has a perk that will fry anything too close when it activates, hammer of sol too but it's a ranged attack....well depending on what perk you use. Novabomb you can shoot someone out of but I almost never see it happen. If all you have to do to trigger the arcblade is tap the buttons and go, it works. Otherwise by the time you've announced your presence to the entire enemy fireteam, they're either all gone or someone is charging in to shotgunpunch you out of your super.

I think blade dancers need a buff in pve. The buff would be to add a flinch/stun lock effect to the super, but it will only work on minions of the darkness. I want this buff so blade dancers don't get stomped to death when trying to damage a boss.

IDK !!!!!!!!!!!!

This game blows. Starting to hate it more n more.
