I never said that you said I shouldn't play with the sub-class. Obviously sub-classes like Nightstalker and Defender are better for PvE, but other sub-classes are arguably the same, if not worse than Bladedance in PvE. Striker and Stormcaller aren't any better as their supers are pretty useless on bosses and their grenades are ok. I've realised that I haven't proven that Bladedance isn't a bad class, but I'm just trying to say that I would still choose it over other sub-classes. This is mainly beacuse back in Year One when I had to choose between Gunslinger and Bladedance, I would choose Bladedance for its invisibility perks. It was especially useful at Skolas if I needed to go invisible to revive someone or needed to use the super to swing away for a quick get away. Did you ever do Skolas with a hunter?

Not to mention the Crota's End raid, where a Bladedancing Hunter could solo the first section effortlessly, and was the best class for sword-bearing against Crota.
