I don't know about you guys, but arc blade is one of the more underpowered supers. Sure it's fine if you are in close quarters and other players can't escape, by most of the time this isn't the case. Players can easily jump back and shoot you. That's why I think activating arc blade should also give you a shield that triples your defense. This will actually make Arc Blade an effective super instead of a joke.

You just have to be smarter with it. As someone who loves Arc Blade, I don't think it needs a buff at all. It's not under powered, or over powered for the matter, it just requires planning. Arc Blade is designed for close quarters so you have to use it as such. If you want a long range super for the Hunter stick to Gunslinger.
