The problem is exactly what the first reply talks about in the first paragraph. DE wanted to stop players from abusing a mechanic so they nerfed the thing that made it more viable to play as a Melee Frame. It's range and duration and lack of finisher capability already made it significantly worse than Radial Blind, and it also means we can't do a normal slide attack w/o taking energy. It's a really shitty way to nerf something, imo.
