Titan Melee
I've kept quiet about this for a very long time, but I can no longer hold my peace.
As far as PvP goes, I find the Titan to be at a disgusting substantial disadvantage compared to the Warlocks and Hunters. But I've learned to deal.
What I'm having issue with is the Titan Melee and the "Strength" ability. My success with Titan Melee has been non-existent save for punching a "Dreg" on his last legs when I need a Force Barrier in a tight spot. Other than that, I find it completely and utterly useless. Particularly in PvP when it does not activate unless the Titan kills the guardian with that punch.
Don't even get me started on Storm Fist. Yeah, it looks cool when you kill an enemy with a fist emitting lightning as you watch them spiral into "nothing-ness" with electricity smothering them. However, the damage, speed and range of the attack is still wack compared to the the other guardian melees, and the OHK frequency is also null. My thought of a Titan is something of huge intimidating force and strength. IMO, I don't understand how a Warlock or Hunter (This being the most understandable) melee could bring more damage, speed or range than a Titan.
But this is my opinion, and I'm sure there are others. I would like to hear them.

Edited by Zoop: 7/28/2015 8:50:08 PMIve become so used to scorch, i mainly use sunsinger for pvp other than trials, its a reflex to shotgun+melee at bladedancers and such. When i play trials with my titan, everytime i get reminded how sucky the titan melee is. Getting the first shot one someone, but just not finishing them off because they are out of melee range, and getting punched to death in return is retarded. Especially since titan seems like the class that would have the best melee (punch everything!). Im fine if it lacks range but the effect is more powerful, but its not. At least the defender overshield should proc on hit, since its range its shorter, its harder to pull off than a scorch, so it wouldnt break anything, would it? I really hope the solar subclass will have a lot better melee attacks.
