So is it just me or do Striker Titan's have the worst melee in the game? Especially since they are supposed to be the "Masters of Close Combat." I mean Warlocks have a better range then Titans, no matter what, they don't need to get as close. Hunters get there little knife throw thing. And every class with there melee ability charged can basically one hit KO anyone else.
I love playing as my Titan (you could say it's my main) but after leveling a Warlock I can't CQB with my titan at all any more, lol. Maybe I'm just not using my Titan to it fullest potential?
And I know that the Titan's get the Shoulder Charge but that really isn't a game changer.

To understand it really, you have to look at how the melee does in PvE Titan melee is the only one that [i]staggers[/i] lower level / smaller enemies Hunter melee is the only one that can get [i]critical hit[/i] damage Warlock melee does not stagger or crit, but they get [i]range[/i] and [i]contact buffs[/i] That's why Titan melee in PvP isn't as good (excluding shoulder charge. You can't actually stagger players like you can AI. That's also why Scorch Melee + Flame Shield is used so much - it has range and contact buff - it's perfect for PvP

The sunsinger has the longest melee range and dmg. The voidwalker, defender, and striker classes all have equal range and dmg. Gunslinger has equal damage but arguably better range. Bladedancer has the weakest melee (no dmg bonus vs normal melee) and the same range as the other lot. It can be argued there that bladedancer has the weakest melee, as it is the weakest with the average range. It cam have a super fast reset and trigger regen if specced correctly. Same can be said for every class, it has weaknesses and strengths, and a method of speccing into it to make ot a viable build. No neednto worries, your melee is competitive. Happy hunting!
