Nothing beats it. It's essentially a ranged arc blade. You get an over shield, and can use it at further ranges, making it much more difficult to go up against. With blade dancer, it was just a shotgun and melee. Can't do that to people in storm trance. They get you from further range, because warlocks of course get it easy becuase they require no skill. Hell, even sunbreaker takes more skill than stormtrance.

No... just no. It takes maybe 3 seconds to kill you if your in range. That's more than enough time to shotgun a stromtrance and melee. I've done it before, and it's happened to me. I feel if it had healing like bladedancer and HoS, then I'd see where you'd be coming from. But I think it's fine the way it is... for now at least. [spoiler]Need to fix my quiver first.
