My fellow Titans:
Let me set the scene for you;
You're just wondering around, capturing some points in control, when you decide that popping your Ward of Dawn is a good idea.
Good?
Great.
Now you have a viable way to defend the objective for a short period of time until it goes away.
..and by 'goes away' I mean that some cocky Hunter or a snotty Warlock has come along, used their respective Super Charge and now, 3 seconds after you popped it up to relax under with a spot of Titan Tea, you are sat naked, alone, and wondering where your dead teammates are.
Can any of my brothers relate?
Can anyone offer a suitable explination as to why [i]our[/i] super is the weakest? When it is currently the only subclass that really promotes strategy.
Rise with me, fellow Titans!
Take back the Dawn!
Fight for a buff!
[spoiler]..or don't, I'm not your mother.[/spoiler]
Edit: This thread was made with a fun little theme to it to try and avoid all the usually negativity on these forums, so thanks for everyone for keeping it civil.
Edit 2: I have the saint-14 helm, and usually do very well within my precious bubble. It just makes me a sad little Titan when the super gets taken down by another super.
Edit 3: Im not saying that it shouldn't be taken down when a super is used against it. What I am saying is that it shouldn't kill everything inside. The warlock and hunter supers currently just fly through it as if it wasn't there.

It annoys me when my Ward is destroyed by an enemy super, but I don't necessarily think it's unbalanced. When a bladedancer comes in, I'd say they have about even odds of killing me before I kill them. Have killed many bladedancers this way. Fist of Havoc is pretty devastating, and I've crushed many shields this way as a Striker, but as a defender I've also killed many charging Titans either as they're running at me by popping out with The Devil You Know, or as they enter the shield with a shotty. When I don't think I can kill them I will sometimes back out of the shield, let them super, then finish them easily before they're combat ready again. The worst, for me, has been Nova Bomb - but even then you can kill the Warlock before he gets it off, or back out of your shield and finish him. And if you're making Strikers, Bladedancers, and Voidwalkers waste their supers to kill 1 person, you're possibly helping the team. It's also balanced by the fact that WoD seems to charge MUCH quicker than the others. There have been games where I've locked B down for minutes on end with 5+ consecutive Wards. So more often than not when I have a shield out it does not get countered by an opposing super. What I find worse as a defender is when all my team mates stack up in the WoD. Not only does it virtually guarantee that you're going to get Fisted or Bombed, but it also screws you over in the sense that you've used a super and everyone else is benefiting more from it than you are.
