In PVP it seems even more problematic to stop and stand in front of your opponents.

In PvP, it's a different story, but I feel like sometimes getting owned by a Titan super is the price we pay for the ability to wipe out an entire team, even if they're widely spaced. It's definitely situational.

…in PvE. (In this case 24 vs 24.)

THAT’S Right. I Said it. IT. SUCKS.

Titan – Fist of Havok – Automatic Lunge + AOE. Dead. In the event of still not dead - SMASH IT IN THE FACE with your Titan Armor.

Titan – Ward of Dawn – It’s like Sunslinger but with more “not dieing” first. Or grenades. You can hit things in the face more. WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO KNOE!!1!

Warlock – Sunslinger(I know its singer… but it’s… like… wrong) - Get up close and hit things in face. Die because you aren't a titan. Comeback from dead because you arn't a titan. Nadespam and create Orbs of Light because you aren't a titan. Praise the sun.

Warlock – Nova Bomb – KA-CEWW! BOOOSH! So much Dead. Warlocks 4 lyfe.

Hunter – Golden gun – Its like a sniper, but from Halo 2. Dead. In the event of not dead – it’s ok. You aren't exposed.

Then

Hunter – Blade Dancer – Start your super which begins to drain. You run towards your target then lunge. If it dies – that’s cool! If it doesn't – and it won’t - do it again. Oh my super is still draining.

Super is now fully drained – I killed one, and halved the health of another. I’m now standing in the middle of a swarm.
Who dies?

;_;

This happens more than it should. Out of all the supers, when bladedancer fails – it fails amazingly.

Luckily I can spec differently, and use My Bubble as a shield generator or damage buffer. Bladedancers can't really do that as much.

But stringing kills with knife juggler is so satisfying.

One of the few truly skill-driven abilities in the game. Wish there were more of them.

Problem is, when it comes to large groups of weak enemies Bad Juju and some handcannons I have loved has you covered.

I feel the same way about knives in PvE. They are just a weaker, limited use, harder to aim hand canon shots :-p

Though I have been inspired by some posts here. I like the idea of hovering over the Archon's face slicing him up and impressing my fireteam with my dashing cape.

My group made it inside on the one night I wasn't online, hopefully I'll wreck that raid sometime soon!

Both the Gunslinger and Bladedancer ults seem a bit weak in PvE.

That's funny, because Gunslinger is by far the best super for use in the portals during the Atheon fight :-)

Arc Blade is situational. With Showstopper, it's great for taking out large mobs of weak enemies. It's not good for single powerful ones. I am not sure why, but Razor's edge doesn't seem to be common, yet it is better at packing a punch to single targets (I actually like it vs the Cabal).

If you find you are running out of super energy, turn on Encore, and get Mask of the Third Man, which makes arc blade use less energy. You can go a REALLY long time with both. For me, it was frequently TOO long, and I would run around with nothing to kill, so I put the helmet in the vault.

I routinely slice through Vex and Hive groups with ease using arc blade.

Again, it is SITUATIONAL in PvE, so you should not try to make it fit where it won't.

A hunter's defense is its agility. I have been fairly sucsessful in pve with blade dancer, even on bosses! The trick is the double jump ability, the directional control upgrade makes for a target that can be too fast to hit. The ability to fly in at say the archon priest, do damage with the slice, then jump away only to slice again all while above and away from the bosses' stomp aoe attack is something scary in how beautiful it is. Or is it so beautiful its scary?

The point is speed HAS to be your tool if you want to dance with blades

My Hunter IS the Speed - after all, that is the point of the Hunter. When I do a super- its because I need to take out a mass of enemies. When I start my super - I don't have time, even with all its speed, to go on defense. When I super - I mean to kill, much like a ninja* with its blade unsheathed.

It is very unsatisfying when this doesn't happen - and I die as a result. Again and again.

*Technically it would be a samurai - details.

Edit: OH! and the transition from super to finished is jarring too. There is a subtle pause where the hunter goes-*OH shi *-where then I resume my bounding tactics.

But what they lack in practicality/effectiveness they make up for in being super freakin' cool to pull off!

The other abilities are pretty cool though. Also Capes. Also PvP.

Also you can jump the Hellmouth with it. Whatcha gunna do when you are hovering over the abyss, bubble boy Titan?

Also, you can be killed by a single shotgun blast at any time;

I have never, ever found that to be true. Even at point blank, they seem to be left with about 1/5th of their health.

Or warlocks just boost into the air and laugh.

I imagine this could work, but it's never had much success for me. You have to come back to earth eventually. I just take solace in the fact that they've usually wasted a good few swings just getting to me, so they might only get the one kill.
