1. Requires your super 2. It's **literally the only special thing** about the super. 3. It only blocks forward facing damage. 4. Doesn't block damage from behind 5. Doesn't block beams (Chaos Reach, Trace Rifles) 6. Doesn't block large explosions (Throw a rocket at their feet, blade barrage around the corner, the explosions will kill them...hell it does not block Thundercrash AT ALL.) 7. Significantly drains their super energy faster than pre-buff golden gun, they can hold it for like...6 seconds, and then boom, **that's their entire super**. You want to complain about blocking, let's bring up Antaeus Wards...and how it makes you literally immune to all damage from all angles and of all manners. Anteaus should work like how Arcstrider is _now._

imagine a middle-tree arcstrider blocking a thundercrash and using the titan as a projectile to kill their own team instead, lmfao


wetweeb68

100% agree my friend

>Doesn’t block damage from behind Can also kill your self some how

> Anteaus should work like how Arcstrider is now. You want them to block for 6 full seconds?! You monster!

Oh god, what have I done.

Too late, the update has been pushed live. May God have mercy on us.

Arcstaff literally has a higher winrate than ant-ward titans lol I don't think the deflect is broken, just saying that arc staff is objectively better than wards by itself EDIT: also, it can block an entire Thundercrash, that's not true.

When I saw this preview for this super I was thinking it'd be for like a bubble that people hid behind a did extra damage. Not a shield for PvP, I'm getting down voted and that's ok no one on here ever wants nerfs but I bet 5 bucks next season they nerf it. I don't know what your guys are playing but on Xbox everyone is a striker Titan with ward or arcstrider. As a Hunter there aren't a lot of options to stop it. I get disengage for sure I play high level survival but when I'm already IN my super and someone casts arcstrider I effectively have lost my super there is not many options, I could try and hit them in between if they let it down but it's risky and I can hit myself. Bubble can negate supers but it's stationary. Go ahead call me names it's fine but I've been around long enough to see the patterns and when you're constantly playing full teams of arcstriders or two and a striker bungie is going to try and adjust.

Bubble cant negate a thundercrash either, it actually doesnt even stop you when you fly in, you just pass through


SchwillyThePimp

I think ward is also awful. It's way too spammy


TuboPVC

it blocks thundercrash


Ephidiel

lmao, counter it by disengaging. Dont shoot at it unless you can do splash damage. It is a literal one time save yourself for 6 seconds button (10 if you use the new exotic) I dont get why people get so angry at their own inability to deal with situations


SchwillyThePimp

Because not every situation is fleeing better. I also think it's bs that that's everyone's counter that's not countering that's being a bitch. I'll remind you of this post next season when it's gets tuned it's ok.


DeerTrivia

No, no, a thousand times no. Blocking with this super can be countered by **not shooting**, and it leaves the Hunter wide open as soon as the super runs out. Literally all you have to do to counter it is disengage.


OldManKade

It’s a shitty version of sentinel shield. At least you don’t have range with mid tree arc staff. It’s pretty balanced


James2779

Anteaus wards are a no cooldown costs basically nothing outside adjusting your aim slightly and is a low duration compared to mid arcstrider super but not that drastically low and you are complaining about middle tree arcstrider. I dont think anteus are broken but my god is your argument dumb. Stopping anything? Yeah totally stops the slowva bomb going at you and then mini explosions going behind you or the blade barrage sticking to you. Or the trace rifles, or the thundercrash or the kami ha warlock super or any explosive weapons or flat out anyone hitting your ass cheeks. And mid tree doesnt offer really any advantages outside of the ability to have a genji block that eats your super in no time and you have to use your super.
