I used to hate Titans like you...

When I first starting playing Destiny, the obvious choice for me was out of a Warlock and a Hunter. I figured that people who liked Warlock were a sophisticated people. We were those who enjoyed asking questions, knowledge, mystery, art and enlightenment. Hunters were people who liked adventure and discovery, stealth and challenge. But Titan players? Titan players were clearly uneducated and uncouth. A people to avoid. They were those who always took the easy way out. Afterall, why else would somebody pick a Titan and go into PvP with a Shotgun? Who else could enjoy running around the map punching people in the mouth, barging them and kneeing them mid air? Panic Fist of Havoc and dancing in their bubble on a flag then tea-bagging anyone who enters after certain death? These people must be the dregs of society. Or so I thought... Outside of PvP, the Titans are very useful! I am always in awe of the tools that they have to protect other guardians. Most of all in the Raid. I am actually dismayed if we have less than two Titans on the team. But there is more to Titans than their part in the game. The people who pick Titans - the real life person - the players behind the Titans; are the nicest people that you can find! I'm dead serious! I was just looking at my friend list and I came to realise that the people who have made the best conversation, been the most helpful, made me laugh the most, encouraged me when I have struggled; have all been Titan players. Titan players are not only very useful in the game, but they are very intelligent people who know how to have fun and they are simply a joy to be around! Take a moment to look at your own Destiny friends. Let's see if its just me or not. I have a feeling that it won't only be me who sees this. Titan players can troll you hard in PvP but they are really nice guys! Beneath all of that argy-bargy bravado, beneath the heavy armour and testosterone lies a real heart of gold. Without Titan players, the community would be at a huge loss. They are to our credit and they are the needle that sews together the very fabric of our community. They built the wall around the Last City. And I can assure you that when the Darkness returns, we will be in need of every Titan that we can find. I used to hate Titans like you... But now I have come to love them and they are my best friends. If you haven't got a Titan buddy yet, I implore you to find a few. You won't regret it! Perhaps, just like the [url=http://destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Unfriendly_Giant]Unfriendly Giant[/url], Titan players are simply misunderstood. Or perhaps a little shy (although more often than not a little overconfident). But who could blame them? They make everything look easy, but they are really working hard to protect and look after us all. Titans, you have my thanks and my respect. I celebrate you. I salute you. [spoiler]And I really...

  • I'd like to think besides for protection and sheer power output, we Titans are out there to keep the Warlocks and Hunters from tearing each-other apart.

  • Nice to see Titan appreciation. Seems we are a minority and some under value us. I chose the titan because in other games I tank. I run in and take the abuse so the others can get the glory. Not many appreciate it. And with the skills the titan has here we have great value in a team.

    • You realize every class runs around with a shotgun punching people in the face and tea bagging them right?

    • This kind of personality analysis based on class choices is generally rubbish, but it would at least not be totally meaningless if people only got to pick one class. As it stands, there is no such thing as a "Titan player" except the rare few who made all three of their character Titans. You might get a more interesting results looking at the kind of people who make one character of each class versus those who make three of the same, or two of one and one of another.

    • I picked a Titan so i could try and fill that Tank/Support role. I mainly play PVE, and when i do I let my team know when i've used my bubble or i'll use it to protect us. I don't usually get the most kills, but i know we survived the tough fights because of my Blessing of Light. And thank you! Some of us try our best.

      • great post manno! I started out as a Warlock simply because that is the class I wanted to try first. I then started a Hunter, but still have a ways to go on that character. Now that I have a Titan—the defender subclass specifically—I totally enjoy being that support player, as I have for instance in Battlefield (helping the team is just who I am, no matter what class I play). It's gratifying to see your team rush in to seek protection in that bubble, and the Blessing of Light to give that extra short period of protection. I have to admit it's also gratifying to have enemies (whether PvE or PvP) enter that bubble thinking that can melee you, only to be melee'd super fast. :) Mind you, Fist of Havoc is another story... Titan on Titan love... :)

      • I'm a bit disappointed when I don't have a titan on my team when doing strikes/nightfall. I can't count how many times a titan saved my ass from the darkness. Every time we finish a strike I always do the "point" gesture as if saying "you're the man".

      • Sorry but I must say that the defender class in any other game would be a support magic warlock type skill tree. Just saying.

      • My main is a Titan. It takes a certain type of personality to choose a class that is only good at standing ground and has nothing advantageous for ranged progression except charging in for a melee, fist of havoc, and or deploying a bubble which always put the Titan in a hazardous situation before or immediately after. We eat bullets and deliver freak fast fist. And sometimes we hold church seminars as Saint 14. Blinding the enemies who step into the ward, oh so awesome.

        • You have my respect, and my shield, should you ever need either. Hopefully one day, people can see past classes to the people behind the armor, such as you have.

        • Good post. :D Although, I always seen Titans as brave, relentless, heroic, unselfish, strong, merciless, and will sacrifice themselves before others and never give up. [quote]The first Titans built the Wall, and gave their lives to defend it. Now, you stand in the same high place, steadfast and sure, protecting all who shelter in your shadow. You hail from a long line of heroes, forged from strength and sacrifice. Our enemies may be deadly and merciless, but so are you.[/quote]
