I disagree, and I am a Titan user.
Now personally, I play to the strengths and weaknesses of each class. I have adapted my playstyle to suit almost all subclasses (I cant play as a Gunslinger for my life), and I have to say I am a pretty good player stat wise.
[spoiler]Bladedancer is the melee class, not Titans in general....[/spoiler]
Also I can use a bubble effectively in PvP.....

Bladedancer is an invisibility and stealth based assassin class. It should not beat the tank class in hand-to-hand melee.

Edited by Nanye: 9/4/2015 10:34:12 PM[quote]Bladedancer is an invisibility and stealth based assassin class. It should not beat the tank class in hand-to-hand melee.[/quote] Makes little sense.....but anyway. I would class a Bladedancer as a melee class, as a lot of its abilities are centered around melee hits/kills/damage buffs. Why do people think of the Titan as the tank class? Just because it can have the highest armour stat (no exotics), does not mean that it is [i]the[/i] Tank class. The quality of High armour is common among Tanks, but not all high armoured beings are classified as Tanks. Now the definition of Titans is linked above, but it states that: [quote](A Titan is) a person of exceptional importance and reputation.[/quote] Now this fits in well with the lore etc. Two examples: Zavala, a Titan, is the commander of the Vanguards and is the Titan mentor. That is very prestigious and can give a decent reputation to Zavala. Lord Shaxx is an important member for the crucible. Now if memory serves me correctly, Titans were some form of diety worshipped by...some...greek/roman/eygyptian-esque culture. This also goes hand in hand of Titans being a person/being of exceptional importance. Now what else can Titans (in-game) do to solidify their reputation? They are strategists. They planned and executed infamous battles in Destinys lore. These were the brains and the brawn of most battles. They do not go head first into battle, unlike a Tank. They plan and then strike with effiecency, unlike a Tank. They do have high armour, like a Tank this time around. They can deal a large amount of damage over a short space of time. Now a Tank [i]can[/i] do this, but a Titan can do it straegically and with effiecency, so the entire enemy team is caught off guard, rather than one large enemy. Titans are also the fastest class, and this goes hand-in-hand with the Titans being a strategist, and not a tank, as the speed is used to strike fast, and hard, both of which together are traits not associated with a Tank class.

Edited by jack: 9/4/2015 5:10:44 PMYou're most used weapon is a shotgun. Please kill yourself(kappa but seriously shotgun? IT'S NOT A PRIMARY!!!!)
-
heard of universal remote?
-
O_o bi tof a controversal sentence you have there.... I do admit I love me some shotguns, before after and during any patch, but if you check my most recent games, a good lot of them I used a sniper, even though I suck at sniping.

Hey there, friendly forumite. I'm just here to remind you that (while ignoring the rule of thumbs if someone has "awesome" or "best" in their tag, they're garbage) your overall K/D is 1.6, which while above average is still nothing I'd be bothered with going up against (I'm also ignoring the fact that statistically, PS players have worse stats, so a half decent player usually goes up against a team of crap players, inflating your stats more than they should be). But still, a nice K/D, that we can deduce you have a fair grasp on what you're doing in the crucible, so, let's use that, for the sake of arguments: Your Warlock has a 1.68, your Hunter has a 1.7 and your overall is 1.6 ratio. Who do you think is anchoring you down? That's right! Your titan with 0.2 points behind at a whopping 1.51 Kill/Death Ratio! So please, do tell me that the titan can keep up with the other classes. And this is coming from a Titan main since Beta, that has a 0.25~0.30 K/D difference between the titan and the other classes.

[spoiler]Also ignore my gt lol[/spoiler]
-
If you also look at the time played.... I barely play as a warlock, I regularly play as a hunter, but Titan has been my main since September 25th, my first day playing Destiny. It did take me a while trying to find my niche with my Titan, but some of my best games are on my Titan. I never was mad into PvP games beforehand, so my Titan broke me into PvP activities. My warlock and hunters are feckin babies compare to my Titan! I almost perfected my Destiny PvP abilities before I moved onto my Warlock and Hunter. So please, also take time into consideration. And I am friendly(ish).
-
Alright, let's ignore your class overall, let's see your collective K/D for periods of time where you already had all of them. And your titan still has the lowest in the past 3 times where you played with all of them. He had the highest for about 2 days by 0.01 K/D and then plummeted back down :/ unfortunately, numbers don't lie Your friendly neighborhood Anarchist

I dont know if you noticed aswell, but I also had extreme highs with both a Warlock and a Hunter, in my defence the teams I played against were very bad. But anyway, I take it you like looking at stats. But Titans can be very effective in crucible if and when used properly. I have seen teams of Titans destroy the opposite team, yet I have also seen teams of Titans get destroyed by tee opposing team. In the end, it really depends on your dominant playstyle.
-
I like to think I'm a half decent player, and I also play with an above average group of players. And although over half of us are Titan main, you'll never see us playing it in Crucible while helping people through Trials or doing any real PvP matches. It just doesn't stand up ability-wise. Sad and unfortunate, but not less true
-
*gasp* you play as a [i]team[/i]. Some randoms dont know what the word team means...
-
Edited by Anarky: 9/4/2015 6:12:10 PMI didn't mean team, I meant group of friends that you play with often, especially for sweats. I hate playing Control with more than 1 other player on my fireteam, 6-man teams are too boring and only help inflate stats. My "teams" are only for messing around in raids and trials, other than that, we're just in a party talking while in different matches. [spoiler] you know you always have that one group of friends that make an old raid fun by being complete idiots[/spoiler]
-
Ah okay, I wouldnt mind if you had one or two decent minded people to go against with in Rumble while you tea-bag the living hell out of each other. [spoiler]I plan to do this with the guy(s) I regularly play with[/spoiler] [spoiler]BTW Those raids are the best.[/spoiler]
-
It's fun when you match up 6 people in rumble, then you all use Marshall-As only
-
Ill try to use Atheons Epilogue the next time Ill play Rumble. Looks like Ill be dead a lot...

Edited by Anarky: 9/4/2015 6:33:56 PM4 more days till I can try this baby out (check my Titan) [spoiler] it's been too long[/spoiler]

I may or may not be jealous of such a gun, the perks are meh, but still. [spoiler][/spoiler]
-
Honestly, I thought the perks were garbage too! But then I started noticing that "Who's next?" Procs in the bottom 7 or 8 bullets, so if you get a kill and have under 10 bullets, just shoot them off to the next target and it'll proc along with "Spray and Play", then top it off with reload gauntlets and you have basically no reload time! Plus, field scout and the damage from the gun, just make it amazing
-
Oooh a handy little tidbit to know!
-
Go forth with a bit more of knowledge, pay it forward Guardian :)

I too can use the bubble effectively in pvp, however it doesn't mean its sub-par to the others. I use bubble as an offensive booster, with a messenger, and illuminated glasshouse WoL, the messenger becomes a freaking laser. 1 burst 1 bullet kill. great stuff. However we are lacking in the department of melee ability and such.
-
What other class can give out-right offensive or defensive buffs to your entire team, while simultaniously shutting down opposing supers using one grenade? What other subclass can make sniper rifles OHK to the body, and can make every hand cannon two shot? And every pulse a two burst?
-
the catch is its situationality. keep that in mind.
-
But so is every other ability.
