The same can be said for Golden Gun, and Sunsinger if Fireborn isn't used. This whole "But I need to time it" crap is bs. The bladedancer super takes less then a full second to activate and people are complaining. Oh you got to time it a little bit? And your point is? it's how it's designed and there is a reason for it. Unlike the FoH (which yes I believe is a panic button also) and the warlock's nova bomb (which has a smaller blast radius than the FoH can miss very easily) both can be popped almost instantly and if you miss your shit out of luck. FoH more so while the nova bomb can be easily negated by simply shooting the head during the animation. Bladedancer works by allowing you to slice and dice for a very decent amount of time and fly around the map cutting air to catch people/aoe/heal, you can basically kill the whole team whithin the area if you can track them down. What other super can do that? You're complaining about getting shot to death while it's active? That happens when more than one person is shooting your head. Otherwise even two point blank shots of a fully upgraded shotty followed by a melee will not kill a bladedancer unless the melee provides a dot.
