Hello again ladies and gents. Im here with another question for you, the players!
[u][b]Do you feel that the Titan's Bubble shield has room for improvement? Is it over powered, underwhelming, or is it fine the way it is?[/b]
[/u]
As an extremely avid Titan player, I've come to learn that my Defender's bubble can't stop everything. To start off, I will state that I play PVE almost all the time, but I also do play the PVP from time to time.
Before you start stomping on my little post here, I am aware that my PVP skills in this game are quite mediocre, so no need to remind me. My goal for this post is to help get some constrictive feedback placed onto the floor by you, the Destiny community.
[b]On the PVE Side, Here is a list of things I have found that the Bubble shield cannot save you from:[/b]
[b][u]Psionic Blasts[/b] (its hit and miss, sometimes the shield blocks it, sometimes it does not)
[b][u]Wizard Farts[/u][/b] (that noxious black cloud thing they poot at ya, I have no idea what the real attack name is but that goes RIGHT through the shield)
[b[u]]Melee[/u].[/b]
[b]For the PVP side, here are some things that not only go through the bubble shield, but can right properly take it out (for newer players who are Hunters take a note, this will help you take out us pesky Titans who hide in our shields)[/b]
[b][u]Warlock's Nova Blast[/u].[/b] The shield will block the Nova Blast, but the actual purple cloudy blast of doom goes right through the shield and will take you out.
[b][u]Hunter's Golden Gun.[/u][/b] Two or three shots and that bubble shield is GONE.
[b][u]Titan's Fist of Havoc Shockwaves [/u][/b](unidirectional or omnidirectional).
I'm sure there are other things out there in PVE and PVP that can get through or destroy a Defender's bubble shield, but my question to you is this.
[u][b]"Do you feel that the Titan's Bubble shield has room for improvement? Is it over powered, underwhelming, or is it fine the way it is?"[/b]

Me personally I understand that on the PVP side it is the way it is to help ensure that no one Super is omnipotent. It would be a bit cruddy if there was no counter for the bubble shield, then everyone would be using it.
As for PVE though, I do feel that it should protect you from those nasty wizard farts, especially if you have the misfortune of combating several of them who just happened to be a bunch of majors. I also feel that in PVE, you SHOULD have the ability to melee out from within the shield. There have been more times than I care to admit where things got a bit hairy, rounds have been spent and the only thing you can resort to is a quick one two on the mob. But alas, in the panic between you and your friends who are in the shield and the mobs who are bum rushing ya, you don't land all of those blows because of that fine purple line. I digress, this is simply one mans opinion.
[b]Remember, we're not here to bash on other players for their class choices and set ups.[/b] Constructive and well thought out feedback is what will help us as the community improve this game, even if it is in small little ways. I look forward to the discussions!
EDIT: One thing I forgot to mention, the sound made when your bubble shield is destroyed (by a Golden Gun or Nova Bomb) has anyone noted any real significant sound being made? It's hard to tell if the shield is still there or not sometimes when you're near engulfed by Purple Nova bomb death and the bubble happens to be a similar color.

Bubbles are meant to be popped.
