Backstab is broken. For those of you unaware of this it is a perk on the bladedancer that will allow you to OHK if you blink strike them in the back.
This sounds great like assassination in Halo it without the cool animation so you try it out. You find it is very hard to get to to proc however as not all to many assassination situations occur in destiny. Cough Radar. But you finilly get the situation and totally wreck this noob with your mele (granted you could of just shot him).
You then procede to play a few more games with the perk and you come up on a Titan. You are very close and you end up blink striking him in the side when he has full health. Backstab procs and you get the kill.
Then when blink strike is charged again you come up on a warlock shotgun bing at you and you hit her directly in the chest with blink strike. Backstab procs. You get the kill. You then come up on the same Titan and hit him directly in the back with blink strike. No backstab. Titan turns around and fist of panics you.
This is how broken the perk is. I main a bladedancer and always run this perk because of the insanity of one hit kills to the chest. Plz fix bungie. It is just too broken.
[spoiler]Not asking for a nerf. Wanting them to fix the perk[/spoiler]
Edit: Apperantly I am getting an issue where people can't view my characters. Any advice on fixing. Gone to privacy settings and that didn't work.

My question has always been. When does the game determine someone is facing you? If they turn around as you lunge maybe it just doesn't register in time as to the new position? If you're running head on does it still procure, when theirs no doubt that you were facing each other? I've never attempted any trials on it, rarely play as blade dancer.
-
Honestly, fix it, don't fix it, I don't care. Most people use the other perk for a faster cooldown on melee
-
Yup fix it
-
Love chest stab backstab
-
Wait a minute, you have no hunter...you don't even have any characters. Backstab doesn't involve blink at all, if you stab an enemy from behind it turns you invisible for a short period of time. Do you even play the game?
-
Lol it procs when the hunter and I are face to face. It's broken alright. Hunters don't know what directions are.
-
They've already fixed it.
-
He's telling the truth most of my deaths to blink strike are from frontal attacks. Just saying it should work as intended.
-
It is broken
-
It works with the melee charge, that why you can't you use them that quickly.
-
Lol I got backstabbed in the face 4 times in one game... It's ok those were my only 4 deaths and that teams only 4 kills they were pretty bad just got lucky
-
I always use backstab. It always works. How bout u have a hunter and actually use it
-
Can you guys stop whining about everything
-
Fix Destiny*
-
Lol I can't believe people are just now starting to notice
-
-
I played on blade dancer for quite a few games yesterday and did quite a bit of backstabbing. I found that if you knife them in the head from above or face even if its from the front it will OHKO. Also works from the back too.
-
I think they should fix it or change name to luck in the gauntlets
-
Might as well call it frontstab.... *Sigh*
-
They need to fix blade dancers
-
It only ine shots to the front if you hit the head
-
Edited by Rojo: 2/26/2016 2:58:06 PMIt's not an overpowered ability but it needs some tuning that won't allow front stabbing to happen, or actual back stabbing to not work. Melees in general need a registration fix as well.
-
I agree. It's not op, just broken. I haven't had that situation happen to me, but if people are mad about one hit shoulder charge a regular melee must bother people a little
-
It's not OP. It's just insanely broken. Anyone who doesn't support fixing it probably hates shoulder charge.
-
I disagree.
