I agree. I've been using it alot lately and it's just So Bad. Blade Barrage has a massive amount of damage resistance, the blades track and go everywhere and it's incredibly fast. I think Bungie needs to take a page from this and give Vortex a faster animation, more damage resistance, Lance, longer AoE time and an increase to the AoE's damage.
There should be no reason why Vortex is so shitty that a player can take two steps to the side and avoid the initial detonation.

If it's called for? Sure

[quote]Blade Barrage has a massive amount of damage resistance, the blades track and go everywhere and it's incredibly fast. I think Bungie needs to take a page from this and give Vortex a faster animation, more damage resistance.[/quote] I have been using blade barrage recently and I feel like i need to disagree with you on the tracking comment. I there have been multiple instances where i have encountered inconsistancies with the targeting of the blade barrage. For example lets say i target two players nearby eachother with the first volley of knives and I set my sights on the guy about 25° to the right; it then feels like the game flips a -blam!-ing coin and i get no kills, or sometimes i get lucky and it works and other times there are too many targets and the tracking simply stops working. Btw an animation buff would just turn it into another blade barrage, so i cannot agree with you on that front either. In my opinion non roaming supers like blade barrage AND nova bomb should have no damage resistance. I apologize if you dont like my tone but im so gatvol of people asking for buffs like increases to the damage resistance for supers, its a hassle sniping roaming supers in the head twice to kill them. That being said if you can give the nova bomb and blade barrage's damage resistance then I will gladly discuss this with you further. [b][i][u]To clarify my opinion: Both are panic supers which I can't stand[/u][/i][/b]

Edited by Starkweather: 8/23/2019 11:35:00 PMEverytime I bring up BB's damage resistance players become condescending a-holes. It. Is. Too. Strong. But since Bungie, nor the playerbase, is willing to give it up then it becomes The Standard. However I will not depart from Vortex Nova Bomb having a faster animation nor the changes to its trajectory, AoE longevity and AoE damage. It needs it.

You want me to be condescending? Okay here we go! So your solution is to make another thing "too strong"? Ok, make lets make the blades block out damage aswell so we can follow the trend of taking the unfair aspects of supers and applying them to other supers. Becuz balance and shiet. Okay dude but seriously bring up the numbers homie.
-
Not at all. You misunderstand my intentions. If BB's damage resistance was brought down to Nova Bomb-level then we're all good. If not? Why not level the playing field?
-
My general issue is that bungie just overbuffs or overnerfs things. Spectral blades and nova warp are perfect examples of those things respectively.
-
Spectral is blade is somewhat balanced now. They didn’t crucify it like they did nova warp at first . They took there sweet time. Nova warp is the only balanced super besides point and click golden gun
-
I was implying that they originally overbuffed spectral and overnerfed nova. Sorry for the confusion
-
Im ok with lowering the damage resistance but i prefer the general removal of damage resistance in the context of non roaming supers in my opinion. Im just tired of kilstreaks being shut down because of a nova or blade.
