I think shards is far too inconsistent in returning energy, especially when comparing to warlocks; nova bomb does more damage than BB now and warlocks can get their super back instantly with skulls, I think the issue with shards is that its too reliant on hits rather than kills. E.g I can wipe out a whole wave of enemies and get back 1 second worth of super unlike when I damage a boss and get back 4 seconds worth. This really discourages hunters from using BB as a form of ad-clear and only save their super for the boss because we get a guaranteed 4 seconds of super return. If it was more reliant on kills we would be more likely to get more energy back which is a good thing. I'm not asking for instant BB back like nova bombs but I'm looking for more consistency in shards so it can be more predictable and I'll have a reason to use it again other than in mayhem or blind well.
