Stop complaining like just stop. Out of all things you complain about arc staff? You do realise if you use your brain to adapt and overcome it you’ll be able to find ways to absolutely counter it. Nova warp can destroy Arc staff by simply activating the teleport mechanism it has, all you have to do is get behind the blocking staff an then blow yourself up in nova warp to shut it down. Raijus harness doesn’t provide any buffs to the super at all. The only thing it does is slows super drain by blocking which in favour increases the time to use arc staff. Instead of complaining about it take the time to find ways to counter it ! , it’s not hard!. Sick of titan bubble holding zones in PvP? Slap on celestial nighthawk with precision goldy, an it will one shot the bubble and the person in it. Find ways to counter things an stop complaining so much. The more you find ways to counter things the funner it gets. Who would have thought celestial night hawk would destroy titan bubble on a zone in PvP. I’m sure many people know this but that’s exactly an example to counter things in PvP. Sick an tired of players like you complaining about every fukn super in the game an the people who have fun using them have to suffer for it because you don’t like fukn going up against it and can’t find ways to beat it. Fukn ridiculous.

Hey....maybe you should read up on raijus harnes. It also slows the drain when not attacking. Just equipping it already makes arcstaff one of the longer lasting supers. With raijus equipped, dying in arcstaff will save super energy. The energy saved is greater than that of canceling chaos reach.

Thank you for correcting me on that. However it still is easily countered if you put the work in to understand how you can counter it. If you try something for example, titan smash doesn’t counter arc with Raijus if you slam in front of them, so then why are you drastically repeating that same thing over an over? If somethings not working then obviously you find other ways. If you want to shut down arc with Raijus housing thunder crash, you simply crash behind them! It’s literally that easy. There’s no point in shooting the blockable mechanic that arc super has. And yes granted , some supers can be killed using your weapons, but, depending on your situation will determine the options you have and create if you can’t kill them in time. And that’s for any class. You cannot be mad at the game when you are the one in control of what you are doing. And if you end up dying by any super then oh well tough sh*t. Like I said before is , the point is to find ways to counter things with out complaining. Somethings maybe harder than others , and that’s when adapting, overcoming, and learning comes into the works. There are many ways to counter every super in the game, there’s no excuse as to why you can’t find those counters, because it’s YOU who’s holding yourself back from finding those.

Edited by l Xemnas: 10/20/2022 9:03:43 PMBiggest problem, imho, arcstaff blocking has no downsides. Sentinel can be shutdown just by doing enough damage to it while its blocking (which is understandable. No reason activating your super should trigger god mode) Arcstaff can block, tank, or reflect nearly every super in the game. The only exceptions being landfall, chaos reach, and the heavy attacks from burning maul(an already inconsistent attack). Sentinel can't even block a nova bomb and survive. Meanwhile arctaff can not only block it, but also turn the seekers against the caster. Sentinel is supposed to be the shield, but arcstaff literally does everything sentinel can do, but better. Obviously a shutdown super should be exactly that: a [i]shutdown[/i] super able to stop roaming supers. Arcstaff ignores all of them. Hell even silence and squall's tornado can be "reflected" and turned against the enemy. As far as gunplay arcstaff has few counters. Trace rifles, the laser from Devil's ruin, and tractor cannon. Sentinel's shield bash is supposed to be able to surpress supers, but half the time it just works like a void bomb from bombardiers. Surpression grenades are a clear option, but this does lock you to a void subclass. Mobius quiver teather just tracks to the center of arcstaff, causing the shots to be reflected back, while deadfall has too delayed a trigger to work effectively. Between arcstaffs dodge to close distance and reflective guard punsishing you for trying to shut it down, it's too strong as a roaming super.

I understand what you’re saying but it doesn’t mean the super needs to be nerfed. For example nova bomb can really be effective against it if you cast it right above the arc super and it will destroy everything in its proximity and further. One match for instance, I slid under the nova bomb before it hit the ground and managed to get behind the warlock an shot gun mele them, when the bomb hit the ground I died right after I meled them. Is that a once in a blue moon counter? Or can anyone preform the sort of counter? The answer is no. Because you have to really define your skills to be able to pull sh*t like that. Don’t get me wrong I understand your frustration. Totally. But the same amount of times that you have been frustrated by it or something else is the same amount of time that I’ve been frustrated about using arc staff and not being be able to catch the opposing team simply because they out play the super entirely. However I don’t come on here complaining about why a super is better than others and why it should be nerfed or reduced. Why is that? Because I respect every super in the game for what they are and I understand that some maybe more beneficial than others. Depending on the individual player who uses a super of whatever class will absolutely determine the destruction they can cause. Some people are just alot better than others at countering things in the game or just other things in general. No matter how many times I die by a class I do not main or get killed in the most absurd way , I would never go out of my way to post on here to get that classes super reduced or nerfed. That is selfish and unjust to do that because I don’t know how to play against it or I can’t find ways to counter it. And that’s where the problem gets even worse. Supers are supers. There is a reason why people play them in a way in PVE and PVP. Because that way , is more effective for the users. If you are running tether because you like playing nightstalker in pvp, if you see that an arc staff is blocking coming towards you , why are you tethering their blocking mechanism? It’s more effective to tether the roof above them or a wall next to them that they will ignore because they have one goal , to kill you. By the time you shoot the tether at a wall next to them or the roof above them they would have already advanced forwad enough, by then the tether will proc an disable their super, why? Because an arc staff can be vulnerable to damage parallel to which way they are blocking. Why are you nova bombing an arc staff while it’s blocking Infront of them ? Nova bomb on top of them and they will die. Why are you using sentinel throwing your shield at a blocking staff knowing full well your not going to do much? Use your movement to get behind them and you might just come out victorious because once they stop blocking an start dodging they are vulnerable. Why are you casting dawnblade and throwing your blades directly at them? Use your ability get into the air high as sh*t and rain down fire upon them and you’ll find that staff will likely not survive. You see the way you play with supers , ultimately determines the amount of damage you can cause. If you are just popping your super and running around like a headless chicken wondering why you can’t kill the arc staffer then you have already lost that battle. If an arc staffer cast their super an is running around like wild pig trying to get a kill and doesn’t then they simply have been out played. In order to not be frustrated at the game you have to understand why things are not working for you, or why things work for others an not yourself. You must be glorious in defeat, you must accept being punished for a mistake you made or being outplayed even if it costs your team the round or match. You must take accountability, responsibility. You must adapt and overcome first before you can conquer.
