This originally began as a reply to another post however after seeing the replies & requests I decided to make it, it's own thread for people & for it to be a opposing view to threads calling to "nerf" bladedancers. Thank You. Here are the rules every bladedancer must know Let me hopefully explain what it takes to arc blade a person successfully with these rules. 1: Don't get 1 shot meleed by a Titan 2: Don't get countered supered, especially by a titan havoc fist because when they use it even though you hit them 1st as they r using it, they can take not just 1 but 2 arc blade slashes & not die from it. 3: Do not turn the corner into the entire enemy team 4: Do not get shot by a shotgun 5: do not get shot by a fusion rifle because even though you MIGHT dodge the intial burst the tracking bottom half of the clip can still kill you in 1 shot though you dodged the top half of the clip 6: do not get mowed down by a HMG 7: do not get 1 shoted by a RL 8: try to get close enough (without getting killed immediately after or before) so the pull to your enemy actually works & the slash doesn't miss them by a inch infront of they're face 9: try to not use it with no enemies near by 10: do not get vehicle killed 11: do not run into a camper unless you can surprise them 12: avoid getting a sticky grenade on you 13: avoid getting meleed too often, excepting Titan which is unavoidable if you get meleed by 1 - see rule #1 14: avoid using slash too much as not to lower the super bar any faster then needed & 15: avoid getting mowed down before facing your targets in general - see previous rules PS: I could add several more but I'll spare you that & don't even get me started on other bladedancer abilities such as why a magical knife vs a magical fist & the knife is somehow weaker then the fist.
