Bungie needs to add a ranged titan super to Destiny, why?? because every class in Destiny has a ranged super besides for Titans. Warlocks can get midrange kills with the nova bomb, or get buffs with sun-singer, and Hunters can use Golden Gun. This lack of a projectile super becomes especially apparent during boss-fights.
The reason this came up was because I was playing the weekly heroic strike with three defender titans when the Summoning pits was the weekly heroic strike, so I decided to switch to Striker codex. However Fist of Havoc's attack just seemed to just roll off Phogoth instead of damaging him, and he would immediately counter by insta-killing me. So when I ask for a ranged super, I don't mean "long-range" or even "medium range", I just mean a projectable offensive super which can be used to damage a boss, while the player can still be far enough away from the boss not to get blasted by the bosses proximity attack (Some examples of proximity attacks would be; Phogoth and Archon priest both doing an insta-kill stomp, and Fallen Walkers releasing Arc grenades).
Also this 3rd subclass should be a solar damage subclass, because Titans only have Void and Arc subclasses for now. Also warlocks and hunters would be getting subclasses for their respective missing elemental type as well.

It's plausible but I've always seen titans as a up close and personal type of class. Plus most supers don't do significant damage to bosses. Golden gun does maybe 1.2k damage for me on bosses and that's not a huge amount. Does it help? Sure. But I would much rather have a super that helps the team and not just damages the bosses. Like bladedancers super. In strikes, it's essentially useless because everything can two shot you with their melee. I actually use bladedancer as a support. When my teammates are down I pop it and go invisible to revive them. Even if titans had a ranged super, it wouldn't be that much more helpful. Quite frankly, I think defender titan would be more beneficial than a ranged titan.
