Uhhh yeah that's because they cancel out. You cant kill him with arc blade in one hit and he cant kill you with FoH in one hit unless you are already hurt or you stand in his aftermath. You have to understand the potential you have with blade dancing. You have the ability to get far more kills than someone using NB or FoH. Sadly a lot of you newbies dont get this and continue to complain about whats broken and whats not. The blade-dancer is far too tanky when they start to blade dance and i think they should be more suceptible to damage. You can rarely kill a dancer while he charges you when alone and I think that is unfair. A blade-dancer should take considerable damage when blade dancing because they are able to one hit kill anything they touch that has normal shields.
