So I leveled my alts for the giggles... Let's talk supers. (Destiny)

I really need to try the hunter out because I've never seen a problem with them getting kills. I say this a lot, but whatever, I probably suck at sunbreaker but I rarely ever see 3 people to even shoot at let alone kill with my ultimate. And the people I do see are either ace snipers who one shot me or a firing line.

Personally I think supers are meant to get around 2-3 kills. Any more than that and you just got lucky.

If You don't kill at least 3 players with your super as a Bladedancer/Gunslinger, you're incompetent, or very unlucky.

Then I'm completely incompetent. I almost never kill 3 people with gunslinger, I rarely kill 2 people with it, and I often get killed while still in the activation animation (which, unlike titans and warlocks, still uses up my super). Also... Unless you use the acolyphage symbiote or your enemies are hugging and you use the perk to make your kills explode, it's impossible to get more than 3 kills with gg.

As a bladedancer more than 3 kills is possible (especially in control), but again - if you get killed during the activation animation you lose your super, and the number of times I get more than 2 kills is miniscule. Running away from blade dance is a viable strategy, as is just shooting him. Shotgun + melee kills a blade dancer.

Meanwhile, I've seen nova bombs and havok slams that killed all 6 players on the enemy team, which is physically impossible for bladedancer or golden gun to do. I've seen stormcallers clear the entire map and then kill those same players again as they respawned. And all of these supers are not used up if the player is killed during the activation animation. That's even nuttier. If you actually counter it, you still get supered as soon as they respawn.

Furthermore, if I want to golden gun or blade dance someone, I have to plan ahead and activate around a corner or something. If I see "hey, there's 4 dudes there!" I have to back off, activate, and then come back to have any chance at all of killing even one of them, or I have to guess that there will be more than one target just based on my radar. With a fist or nova, you just press the button and get your kills. It's really, really great.

Yes. There's an huge disparity between "roaming" supers and the one-time-use ones. Either give every subclass one of each, or do something to better bring them in line with each other.

Are you saying this against or for Hunters? Because technically Hunters have 3 duration supers. I'm kinda fudging void hunter because it only counts when it's the 3 shot bow.

Against. Duration supers are infinitely better then the others. No one can tell me with a straight face that they would pick Fist of Havok over Hammer of Sol, or Nova Bomb over Stormtrance.

You're wrong wrong wrong about hunter supers. I agree that hammer of sol is awesome and stormtrance is overpowered, but golden gun especially and blade dance to a lesser degree are both severely underpowered in comparison.
