And I have seen multiple times Bladedancer taking down basically whole team by killing 4-5 right off the bat and then chasing down 1-2 kills more.
I wonder if Bungie plays with the guns play with the guns they "fix". Can't believe they decapitated the Mythoclast like that. Our ultimate reward butchered. Imagine that instead of getting the ultimate material from killing emerald weapon, we got 2X cut.
Either that's a hyperbole or sounds like a very clueless team. Also, I play clash most of all.

Try with ADS. That's where the insane range was showing up.
It was straight up too powerful before.
Try it now. I bet it still rocks. I still really want one.
Nope. It's pretty bad now.
I wish Valkyrie would actually look like the ship in the icon for it...

They just changed the color? Wow.
Honestly? Everyone else finding this to be true?
True it had no place in Crucible whatsoever. I imagine some Intern must've made that weapon and Bungie didnt really take a close look til Iron Banner. After getting molested there they nerfed that thing with a quickness
It needed a nerf but 34% is a hard hit to take

Bungie are so fucking clueless. Wtf.
If you are standing where Dinklebot is looking back at where you came from, look towards the left. You'll see a rocky Hive tunnel with similar art assets as you'd see on the Moon's Hellmouth. This is where most of the Hive come from during the horde mode phase. There is a derelict bus or train looking thing on the right side of the tunnel. You can use it as cover while shooting down everything coming in. They won't get past a certain point nullifying the stealth Fallen that are so deadly here. The wizards come from a door just left of the tunnel looking out. Take out their shields with fusion or sniper rounds and then void burn them with a machine gun.

Not from what i'm hearing from those who have it. It's taking much longer to kill.
How so, fig?
(I mean I know, but elaborate please)
Have you tried the mythoclast post patch?
Ignore how it compares to the old version. How does it compare to other weapons now?
My Vanquisher VIII did 32 for headshots pre-patch and it's a great AR. The Vex is just now more down to earth, it sounds like.
And it didn't get the stability nerf the AR's did, right?
It doesn't sound like it was killed that bad (for PvP), honestly.
No, I've also seen it. We probably play control, though, so it's more likely to see teams grouping a bit and capping / neutralizing flags also increases super gain more. You don't have the non-combat increasing super meter in Clash that you do in Control.
It took a while for Blizzard to realize you need to balance pvp and pve separately. Bungie probably never will.

Shrug, that was never my issue. It was getting ambushed by a shotgun, which is still happening all day long. People not even using primary weapons, just running around with shotguns out.
AR, or should I say SR nerf was as expected extreme. All they had to do was screw with the range, have the dmg scale off at X, Y, Z range. Nope, what we get is a blanket nerf.
What about the Hive that come from that area? Do they not spawn if you're standing over there?

Should have PvP nerf only.
Meanwhile we have Bad JuJu that could use a 45% damage INCREASE and Thorn, maybe 34% someplace... but nope. They'll just talk about a buff... one day.

Are you just straight out ignoring other players experiences with and against Bladedancers because they aren't same as yours?
What I would love to get is guaranteed 15ms latency lobby for some proper testing to see how Bladedancer behaves in low latency environment. Now latency to lobby host and back is anyones guess and every player has his own value [x-continent lobbies ftw] within huge spread.
Why?
Latency alone can give player sick advantages and may be reason why some Blades come across as god likes who can't be killed if you don't have super or RPG lined up.

Oh holy shit, I'm actually completely ok with this, I like it better! Thanks Bungie!
They don't ever spawn from the back.
I don't care about what happens with it in PVP, but there is absolutely no reason to have it become junk for PVE. Bungie, does this every time with anticipated nerfs. It's like they don't understand that a nerf doesn't mean make weapon useless. I wouldn't be as mad if it wasn't for the weekend I spent on beating hard raid.
Pocket triplePoor Pocket Infinity, 3 is way too little.

I don't even have a Vex and the nerf just feels shitty. I feel bad for the guys who worked hard to get one.

Nightfall gave me Hawkmoon!
Woooooooooo

I have a feeling they wanted to nerf Mythoclast to put it more in line with other current exotics so they can implement an exotic wide buff. 15-25% would have been plenty imo.

I'm against the vast majority of the nerfs, balance the game in a different way. The AR nerf seems more punishing though, it is nerfing an entire weapon class. Furthermore it is gonna make certain AR's useless now. Feel bad for anyone that was rocking a low dmg AR or one with garbage stability.
Many of them cheesed it. :3
If it is truly bad now I defo itself feel bad for those who earnt it legit.
I don't care about what they do with PVP and the Vex, but the PVE had no reason to be touched. I basically wasted shards upgrading it. Will Bungie offer refunds? You bet not.
I am not ignoring - I've just spent quite a bit of time in PVP and describing my experiences. Not saying you're wrong absolutely.

Thanks ComputerMKII to hopping into my Nightfall solo and making it....a Breeze~
Edit-Disgusting I got a scout rifle, 'The Calling'. Dismantled. Would not use.

I played a couple of matches with it in PvP and tried it in pve as well. I had to dump a lot more bullets into enemies to kill them now, felt like it was about twice as much if not more.
I get that they had to nerf it because it was ridiculously op in PvP, but they went too far the other way with the nerf.

Hell, even that's not easy! lol Have you tried to do that on hard mode... i was expecting... something much easier.
Wouldn't be a problem of they had dedicated armor/weapons just for pvp
Uggggghhhhhhhh. I just did Atheon on hard another two times. First time I got the ship and shards for the third time, second time I got the sparrow and shards so whilst it is better than another ship, I STILL don't have ANY raid gear or the Vex. Oh and one guy in the group got the Vex TWICE. GG.
It is super easy to cheese HM if you have any decent VoG experience and your warlocks know what they're doing.
Time to start using vision of confluence in PvP.
