Are Titans the weakest in the Crucible, or am I just worse than I think?

I've tried Crucible over and over. My friends tell me it's fun, and that you have to get use to it, but they're playing as Warlocks and Hunters. I'm constantly being wrecked by players, that are mostly Hunters and Warlocks. Even thinking about it, I don't really see that many Titans in the Crucible. The Titan abilities seem to only really work in defense, even the Striker Subclass. Is any other Titan just getting destroyed out there? I'm good at games like Halo and Battlefield, and I'll admit, I'm not great at Crucible, but this is out of control! Does anyone feel the same? Are Titans a weaker PvP class?

  • I main a Titan. I use striker in crucible and I do decent. I love the shoulder charge. If catch people around corners they won't have enough time to react even if the have a shotgun equipped. I use the armmentarium chest piece. (Probably not spelled right) The double grenades is awesome. I also use the Lightning grenade. The best part about that is you can corner people. And you will want to use a shotgun. Hope this helps.

    My Titan nearly got a reign of terror on Thieves Den just from Shoulder Charge. Peregrine Greaves are amazing, only things that can survive it are Unstoppable on Fist of Havoc, And Skull of Dire Ahamkara Nova Bomb. I've killed Bladedancers and Radiant Warlocks with it. Thieves Den is amazing for my Titan. Try using either Flashbang or Lightning Grenade, and stick to mid-range combat unless you are close enough to Shoulder charge or Havoc an enemy or two.

    • Ehhh I just time the other teams supers so I can armor of light bubble without getting rekd. Then I say my customary phrase of "welcome to the xander zone." And prison rule anyone who steps inside.

    • I suck as a titan. I feel they are the worse class. I only have 1 cuz I needed to max a subclass to get platinum, then kept it to so the daily crucible for a passage coin.

    • I struggled for a while at crucible as well...I'm not great, but I've definitely improved from where I was before, go positive most games. I would just keep playing and maybe rethink your play style; do you push to much, does your aim need work, are you starting to learn the common lanes, etc... Just keep playing, try different weapons, find what works for you.

      The only thing I hate about Titans is that they have to get in way closer for a melee as oppose to the other classes, warlocks have a fukin ranged melee and Hunters lunge. Titans struggle trying to hook you with their T-Rex arms ;~;. [spoiler]i fukin cry erytim[/spoiler]

      • Titans probably do have the weakest abilities for the crucible over all. That being said you can still do well in the crucible as the abilities don't make a huge difference. It's really the gear that matters, but the titan abilities do have a few niches in the crucible that the other classes can't touch (striker destroys supers, defender bubble is a monster if you can keep enemy supers away from it, and the suppressor grenade has the ability to take away someone's super of you land it on a radiance warlock or arc blade hunter. Not to mention shoulder charge and lightning grenades)

      • There once was a warlock Know as eyes He was skilled but By his friends he was dispised For, a hunter His best friend in life Was his teammate Good with a knife A Titan joined up And all were mary For with all 3 classes The team was quite scary We ended crota And most his race The fallen ran But our hunter did chase The vex tried to fight But came up quite short The Titan killed them While wearing skull fort The warlock self rezed Saving the team And followed it up With a grenade stream And now you all know No class is the best For when we work together We surpass every test

        • I main a Titan, or did until I switched to Hunter when the dlc dropped. Titans aren't quiet as good, but they're higher skill capped, and better then warlocks.

        • I do just fine as a titan in crucible, I normally am in the top three every game. I'd recommend that u switch u class perks up alil n maybe try a different form of gameplay. Titans shoulder charge can one hit and they can have an active shield just like warlocks so do listen to theses foos. Possible try different weapons as well idk what ur using but I promise u a titan is just as effective as the rest.

        • Fun fact: All new gear has a high amount of strength on it but the Titan melee is useless. Warlocks get overshields as well and have a higher range and Hunters have this awesome knife throwing ability. For both classes it makes more sense to go on strength than it does for Titans. The Titan punch is not even a one hit kill! Shity range + shity damage output + a meh ability = The Tank and CQB focused class in Destiny. Hilariously stupid.

          • Yeah the titan is put at a terrible disadvantage in PvP. I can hardly go neutral with mine. But pull out my warlock and I will consistently go leader board. You need blink to even stay competitive

          • Not even gonna read buddy. I got a reign of terror using my level 10 defender last night, with common weapons. The player makes the character.

          • One of the best players in the world mains a Titan. If you get really good at glide and shoulder charge to change direction and stuff, Titan is by far the fastest class. You should watch his streams on twitch. His name is AEGabriel. You could learn a few things

          • it depends on the person using the class mostly. but warlocks and hunters are the favored pvp class because bladedancer and sunsinger are usefull for pvp i'd guess.

            You're just bad. IF you run Striker with Lightning Grenades, you will get so many kills just with those damn grenades. Just keep practicing and change your set ups around until you're better.

          • Fist of Havoc is perfect for trials because you can use lightning grenades and I've killed all 3 enemies a couple times because they were in a rush to finish me off

            One word: Grenades. Lightning grenades are devastating at controlling movement and denying opponents access to parts of the map. Flashbangs temporarily BLIND your opponents. Toss one into a room where enemies are showing up on your radar before you move in....and you can put as many as three people down before they manage to be able to see again. The Crucible is a much more lethal environment than you are used to. Plus success is more dependant on team tactics (lone wolves die early and often), and on creating MISMATCHES. So you need to learn about the other weapons that people are carrying. Learn their ranges. Learn their strenghts and limitations. Press fights when you have the advantage, retreat---if you can---when you don't. Or if you can't retreat, change the nature of the fight. If you're outmatched by the other guy's primary. Hunker down and wait for help....or switch you your special weapon. Shotguns and fusion Rifles are genereally OHKs at close range. The reverse is true. Never chase a wounded player behind cover while armed with your primary. You will wind up getting a shotgun shoved up your nose and your head blown off. Also learn to control your distances. Learn how to flank and close if you prefer to fight up close. Learn how to backpedal while firing if your weapon needs to fight at a certain distance to be successful....and someone's trying to rush you. Lastly. DONT" STAND YOUR GROUND when being rushed. Unless you KNOW for a FACt that you have enough firepower to kill the guy before he gets into range. Someone who is bum rushing you is going to do one of a few things....none of which are good for you. 1. You'll get supered. Nova Bomb or FoH. 2. You'll get slide-shotgunned. 3. You'll get blink-shotgunned. All of these require the person doing them to committ to attacking a SPOT. You foil them by NOT BEING THERE when they make their final strike. Ninety percent of the people who use these tactics are so used to people trying to strand their ground and slug it out, your moving away from that spot confuses them...and they lose their advantage. RARE is the attacker who can adjust to your unexpected motion and continue to press the attack. I ran into ONE about a week ago...and I got to give the guy credit. He was relentless. He kept blink-rushing...I"d dodge. He'd adjust and keep pressing the rush. It sometimes take him three or for attempts to finally put me down. But he was able to keep up the pressure long enough to keep me from escaping or counter-attacking. But someone like this is extremely rare....and extremely good.
