ARC is still underwhelming

Arc has always been more PVP besides the boss supers. It was [u]always struggling against other subclasses for survivability in PVE[/u] and with Arc 3.0 nothing has changed. [b]When other subclasses can heal, recover, overshield, invis, create stasis cover, weaken, scorch, buff teammates--- arc has blinding and jolting... and sometimes can move real fast[/b]. Blind is the closest thing to survivability that arc has and yet its disappointing how little the radius is and how often you can proc it. (Heck even void can suppress and do the same thing) Sure u can try dodging with ur speed but when most of the time enemies are scattered and ur taking damage from 270° most of the time-- its not gonna save u. Damage resistance wasn't even enough and it doesn't help if ur low recovery or constantly getting hit. The main 'thing' of Arc 3.0 they said was go fast, punch things, damage resist. Punching things is not a safe thing to do with high level content. And most of the depressing fragments are built into that concept. meh. What it has going for it supposedly is the amplify and ionic traces for ability uptime. First, some of the abilities aren't that impressive in terms of damage or fairly the same with other classes. Second, ionic traces isn't really super accessible unless ur a warlock. Third, these are all gonna [b]benefit you and YOU ALONE[/b]. When all the other classes can help teammates with their abilities, Arc is alone in it doesn't help anyone. Exotics. Barely no synergy. If there is synergy, its [b]Exotics are VERY SELECT[/b] few that help make it viable. Most of them are novelties and don't even make excel in doing one specific thing. Overall. ARC 3.0 is so disappointing in terms of rework. I and most people were probably always looking forward to this update. Even from a poll back then, EVERYONE knew Arc needed this the most and yet here it is and its quite disappointing. P.S. I love my Getaway Artist build tho.
