I would have to disagree. I believe that Titans are the most under-powered class in the game. Sure the striker can decimate a group of people close together, but you have to get close first. Defenders have a shield for their super, but that cripples their offensive capabilities in PVP. Titans, even though they have a much higher armor rating, do not take more bullets than any other class and they are MUCH slower which is a major disadvantage in PVP. Hunters, on the other hand, are Bungie's babies. They have a one-shot kill anyone super and the bladedancer ability allows them to cover huge areas within seconds while being damn near invincible. While the bladedancing ability is not great in high level PVE, it absolutely annihilates everything in PVP - where most of the levels have multiple bottle-neck areas that group people together. How much skill is involved repeatedly smashing the trigger and wildly dicing anything and everything in your way? While you actually have to aim for the gunslinger ability, you can hit someone in their feet for an auto-kill - so that really doesn't take much skill IMO (this is a hybrid shooter so people should know how to aim and fire at someone center mass if they are playing the game). Even with all of these super perks, the strength within the Hunter is in the speed. You can get the hell out of dodge easily when critically damaged as a Hunter. The triple jump is insane and can save your arse if done properly since you can elevate quickly and to such a degree tracking in close quarters becomes a pain for the guy thinking he has you. You also get a longer range melee attack with the Hunter. The perks just keep on adding up. With the broken IB and the Crucible not giving a damn about armor/equipment rating - the heavy armor of the Titans is nullified. The Warlock's specials are crazy too - one gives you instant death across a wide area that can be fired from a good distance and the other turns you into a grenade producing tank. While the floating ability is horrible, some of these SOBs can teleport. Warlocks also benefit from a longer range melee attack that can produce an over-shield. They are in the middle for speed - not as quick as the hunter, but faster than the Titan. I personally do not want any class to be nerfed - however I would like to see the Titans turned into true tanks and withstand more damage than Hunters or Warlocks. I think it is insane that the 'tank' type class has the same amount of DEF as the Hunter, which is supposed to be the lowest armor rated class. Legendary and Exotic armor for the Titans should give at least 20% more DEF than any other class - and, at the very least, the IB needs to respect and grant the armor bonus for the Titans. There really isn't a good reason not to play a Hunter or Warlock in PVP - they have the best abilities, can take just as many bullets as the Titan and have long range specials that can clear our an entire area without much effort.
