Do titans need to be repeatedly beaten with a nerf bat?
If you have ever played crucible, you know what it is to be "lol, titan'd". That moment when you feel invincible, mowing down countless ranks of pvp noobs when suddenly who turns the corner and shits all over your day? Your greatest nightmare: the Titan.
[b]So you think you have the damagez? [/b]
[quote]-lol, fist of havoc near invincibility scrub
-Juggernaut shield sprint >> shotgun to face >> t-bag
-What is Ward of Dawn? Get #rekt Trebek.
-Flashbang, why you last so long? :([/quote]
[b]Who needs guns when you have:[/b]
[quote]-shoulder charge
-fist of havoc
-long lasting grenades with massive areas of effect (I mean seriously, the pulse grenade is the exact same thing as the hunters arcbolt grenade except it lasts 10 times longer)[/quote]
[b]So you think you are safe? (from FoH)[/b]
[quote]-max jump height? fist of havoc
-in another dimension mid blink? fist of havoc
-one story above/below the titan? fist of havoc
-near a titan? fist of -blam!-ing havoc
-you have enough damage to kill the titan mid FoH animation? too bad he wont do the animation this time #fixFoH
-somehow manage to kill the titan mid FoH? too bad he still has fist of havoc
-cowering in a corner across the map? FIST OF HAVOC
-titan somehow whiffs FoH? lol, not with that aoe range
-you get the drop on the titan? LOL PANIC FIST OF GET SALTY SCRUB
-titan doesnt have FoH up? lol 1 hit shoulder charge that can be used every 2 seconds.
-titan is using defender? (see next section)[/quote]
[b]Get your "Ward of Dawn" today, now with:[/b]
[quote]-the latest in panic bubbling technology
-30 seconds of dance where-ever you want fun time
-1 free salvage capture
-1000 rounds of wasted ammunition as your enemies try to destroy it
-buy one get one free on wasted hunter specials
-free t-baggable corpses as morons try to get you out of the bubble with: shotguns! suicide rockets! blade dances! AND MORE![/quote]
In conclusion, titans are ridiculously op in PVP because of their incredibly strong, practically uncounterable abilities. Serious balancing needs to be implemented. Possible balances for:
[b]FoH[/b]: reduced aoe size, reduced damage resistance during animation, increased animation time, actually losing your special if you die mid animation (just like hunters and sunslinger). FIX THE NO ANIMATION BUG
[b]WoD:[/b] less duration, less damage to destroy it, longer personal overshield refresh time or less damage resistance (depending on the spec), longer animation
[b]Shoulder charge:[/b] not an ohko, an actual cooldown (maybe tie it into storm fist)
[b]Juggernaut:[/b] a slight delay between stopping sprinting and being able to shoot/melee
[b]Grenades:[/b] less range or duration
Until this problem is fixed, please help raise awareness of this issue by joining the "Titan Cancer Foundation"

The Striker is already lackluster. Juggernaught, Shoulder Charge and Unstoppable all make the Striker into a one trick pony and are all in the same skill column. Either you get the ability to net a few free panic kills, the equalivent of running at the target and shooting them with a shotgun but with a bit longer range and auto aim, or a crappy shield that covers part of your body for 5 seconds and only absorbs a few bullets. No matter which you choose, it's basically run at targets and get a few cheese kills. Outside of that, its normal melee ability sucks compared to any other. All classes other than Defender have a longer ranged melee and even Defender's gets much better effects. The grenades are also far more lackluster than you'd think on the recieving end. Pulse does abysmal damage with a small range and takes forever to kill anything. Gunslinger's Swarm is far, far better. Flashbang has a decent effect but an abysmal range as well as a delayed explosion. I've died 1000 times. I've only been Flashbanged maybe three times. Lightning is kind of like a Tripmine without the OHKO, instead having 3 50% HP bursts of damage. It's the only one I felt was actually consistently useful, but by no means is it OP. It's not that the Striker is OP. It's just very... frustrating to face. Its overall abilities aren't even very good, but every Striker packs one way to cheese kill other players. I stopped using Striker a while ago. There's certain situations where it feels overwhelmingly powerful but most of time its not a very flexible or well rounded class.
