I haven't testing it, but I believe with no perks at all, HoS has a longer duration than bladedance. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The amount of time you can add on with encore and mask of the third man (from my experience) will not equal the amount of extra time you get from forgemaster. In a realistic pvp setting I'm thinking you'll get 3 kills per super (for both). With HoS and forge master, you'll be able to pace that out over a longer time than with encore and mask of the third man. That doesn't even account for the fact that doing so will make you lose your health regen perk and use up your exotic slot for a blade dancer. I'm still seeing clear advantage -> sunbreaker. [quote]The only reality that matters is the server statistics. If they show sunbreakers are outclassing all others by a strong margin, then you could argue it's overpowered.[/quote] I agree, but from my own experience I feel like sever data is going to back me up on a lot of my arguments. I know I personally average more kills per super with HoS than anything else.
