Hey everyone. I've recently hit level 8 with all of the three classes and had some time to faff around with them. Initially, I figured the 3 classes would be very similar, only distinguishable by theur looks and supers - but I must ad mit I was wrong.. Which surprised me, cause at it's heart, the game is a shooter. Anyway, I would like to hear [b][i]your [/i][/b] opinions about each class. I'll get the ball rolling with my own first and final impressions. Not need to 'wall of text' bombard, like I did. Also, please click the poll for your fav class out of the three/starter class upon launch :) [b]Hunter[/b] [i]- First impression:[/i] Considered the golden gun to be severely OP and out of place in the game.. And ricidulous for PvP. Thought the blade dancer was an awesome looking subclass. [i]- Final impression:[/i] Loving the throwing knife and the double jump. I prefer the jump over a glide jump any day of the week. Makes you a harder target to hit. I love the speed of the hunter and the sense of agility it harbours. I'm still not digging the GG though. It IS great for PvP (3 shotted a tank), but I still think it's a ridiculous idea :p.. Really bummed that she's not stealthier, though. I guess I'll like her, once I can try out the blade dancer subclass in September, and get my sealth/stab itch scratched in this game too. [b]Titan[/b] [i]- First impression:[/i] Overjoyed to see the defensive bubble. I get to live out my Asari Justicar fantasies again.. Also, I love support classes. Figured speed + melee would be fun to try. For once, a "tank" class appealed to me. Usually, I end up going for the stealth kit. My fear was that it would feel TOO much like a straight up shooter class.. No special traits, probs some better gun handling and more armour. [i]- Final impression:[/i] Hulk f****** smash! I love this one. I don't get a lot of kills on behalf of my special (I can't aim for ****) - but a sprint, a slide and a swift stormfist to the nether regions, and the Titan sends the enemies flying. Pure love. Also, I am no king of shooters, so the extra armour and insane melee damage works wonders for me when caught off guard. I prefer the Titan out of the three. I intend to put my points into the defender as be straight up support, or go full blown juggernaut with melee, speed, armour and recovery specialisation. Brute force for ftw. [b]Warlock[/b] [i]- First impression: [/i] Figured this would be everyone's "go to" class at launch. Turns out to be partially true in the beta. Wanted to try the Warlock last. Thought Novabomb was a ranged version of the Titan super. Figurd she'd be the easiest class to use of them all. [i]- Final impression:[/i] I suck at the Warlock. Period. I went from Titan to lock and got my ass handed to me by anything from NPCs to PvP opponents (due to lack of surviability, go figure.. I wasn't accustomed to hiding as much and immidietely went to deflect the enemy bullets with my face, to spare my teammates the pain. Her grenades, though, are awesome and I believe the Lock's super is the most powerful one atm.. But at the cost of low survivability. She's the high risk/high reward class. I love the synergy of her melee attack (siphons energy to recharge grenade energy; she just seems more advanced than the others) - and I love the fact that she can eventually become a healer. Due to her healing subclass, I think she will be my second class to play since I like playing healers - and healers are everyone's best friends. Your turn :) Which classes did you like/dislike and what aspects of them in particular?

    i can't really give a definitive answer, but as a preliminary mysterious adventurers always pique my interest and the hunter has not let me down yet. The titan has great potential for what i really want,; an adventuring sage always ready to help a guardian in need. With the level 15 subclass the titan looks to be an amazing support. With the bladedancer subclass im really feeling the stealth class with a huge potential for mayhem, so ill have to wait till september to see what fits me best. The only thing i know for certain is that the warlock does not seem to be for me, so ill probably try one out after i completed a couple hundred hours on hunter and titan

  • Titan is a blast in story mode! You basically feel like a walking tank and just jump head first in to fights punching everything in the face. Hunter was fun, I stuck to staying towards the back and sniping. Up close it was fun to kill everything with a knife. Stayed away from the Warlock because it seemed like everyone else was a Warlock (especially in PVP). Only complaints I have are in PVP. Playing a Titan in PVP, I felt like I was always at a disadvantage. In single player you have all this armor and take a ton of damage and then you get to PVP and get killed constantly by Nova Bombs and Golden Guns. Also Warlock and Hunter grenades seem to do much more damage. I can semi except that in the normal crucible mode, but when then going to the Iron Banner where class advantages are turned on and I still feel like I'm made of glass. It just doesn't feel balanced at the moment.

    • Before all these polls I honestly thought titan would be least popular and hunter would take the top spot

    • I maxed all 3 (I restarted my titan after maxing it). My favorite is my Hunter it seems to be a more skill based class. Warlock is my next Fave the grenade and regen time is amazing Nova Bomb is also fantastic, but something just didn't appeal to me after I played it. I hate the titan. His melee isn't all that good. I have a hard time placing his super. The health buf wasn't as great as I thought it might be. So to sum it up Hunter FTW then Warlock if needed...if my fireteam beds a Titan...Choose someone else

    • I'm going to stick with the Titan. The Hunter is really too weak, and the Super doesn't pay, you can't kill large groups of people like the Warlock or the Titan. I'd like it to be able to not be detectable by the motion sensor, it would be a nice way to compensate the disadventage.

    • Haven't played Titan or warlock yet( My brother has to use my account) but I really like the Hunter. I use it as a running and gunning class with my hand cannon.
