Are all classes balanced!?

Greetings Guardians, I'm present today to shed some light onto the characters and why they are [b]NOT "OP".[/b] Now before some of you go on a rant like: [i][b]"Oh that Hunter is wayy to OP with that Arcblade" "OMG that Warlock super is too damn OP" "Dude that Titan is invincible, too OP get Nurfed!"[/b][/i] (These are a few example of many people who have said something similar) You are all wrong, and if you can't understand why you are wrong then carry on reading and I'll prove to you why I'm right. The main reason as to why not 1 class is more [b]OP[/b] then the other is that they can all counter each other. Yes, they have neither any strengths nor weaknesses against each other. They are completely balanced! If you'd like an example then here is one: If you are a Warlock or Titan and a Hunter is running at you with Arcblade active then just activate your super and they die one hit no matter what. This is the same for any class. If you think you're going to die or an enemy will kill you with a super. Then activate yours, it's simple! All supers 1 hit no matter what (Unless it's a defensive super) so you can't moan about it. Also just want to add that all the moaning is because of PvP. All I can say is no matter what armour, what weapon and what skills and I can't express this enough but... [i][b]ALL GUARDIANS ARE EQUAL![/b][/i] A common shotgun doen no more/less damage than a exotic one. No armour is more protective then another. They are all the same! In case some of you didn't know this but destiny is a completely balanced game! Everyone is equal it just depends on the skill of the player. If you keep dying then that just means you need more practice. NOT because someone is "OP". If you're a person who moans about this then keep this in your mind now.[i][b]"GET BETTER!"[/b][/i] it is no ones fault nor the games fault that you're terrible! This game is balanced. You just need to get better. Hope this explains a lot to you people. Get the facts right first! Good luck Guardians! Jaster (PS3 - PSN - ZxArtusxZ) (If you're going to add me then please state that you are adding me because of this post!)

  • The problem with your comparison is that your comparing 2 guys that both have super ready, no shit one super can kill the other super, the problem is the hunters super on average will take out 2-4 players, where as nova bomb can usually take out 1-2, and titans if your lucky on a rare occasion will kill 2 people

    • From what I know the classes are not identical. Titan has the worst stats for PvP. Armor aka health is normalized to 200 for all classes. That means that Titan loses its single most important stat. Other classes will get higher overall PvP stats the titan can't reach because it starts with higher health. But this is quite small, minute I would say. And please stop saying that all weapons are equal in the crucible. Exotic weapons and legendaries can easily wipe the floor with whites, greens and blues. They get so many upgrades for anything and end up better than the rest.

      • The reason many feel arcblade to much in pvp, as I use arcblade on my hunter, is that it lasts to long. Titan and Warlock are a one shot go. Where as I have wrecked the entire enemie team with arcblade. That is the difference sir, and why people hate arcblade. Its not equal. When two have a one shotter, multi kill only IF people are together. Arcblade, as stated already, can trounce around the map. Again I use arcblade so w.e. lol but seriously its broken.

        • I'd bet anything your main is a hunter. That's why your saying they are all equal. Hunters are op in Pvp.

            I agree. In most situations, let the other player play their hand (throw grenades, shoot rockets, etc.) and it's back to basics: you & your gun. Still, with so many builds & abilities, you might have to die a coupe of times so you can identify what they want to do. Titan sprinting at you? Step way the hell back, and aim carefully--you miss, you die! Hunters, that slide can be deadly, aim low! Warlock, if ya kill one, watch your back! My suggestion: don't spam your special ya might need it. Just a couple of examples. And one rule you can apply to any situation: if they're running at ya, they probably have something that's gonna kill ya--real quick! Knowing what the other characters can do, really helps minimize the "b.s." factor. Also, there's no cure for lag.

          • To be fair, unless that Arc Blading Hunter doesn't see you gearing up for a nova bomb, you're gonna die mid animation, or they can just slash sporadically and get out of the way of the blast radius.

            • Sunsingers don't have an instant-kill (or instant-wall) super like other classes. A Striker dashing towards a Sunsinger is a bad situation for the Sunsinger. Ditto a Bladedancer with Arc Blade up. That said, the Sunsinger can try to get out of Dodge using quick jumps or a slide; they can slam a Solar at their own feet (posthumous kill FTW) or slam a Fusion on the dashing enemy, potentially evening things up a bit. Also, Sunsingers can (IMO) disrupt a fight like few other classes. All their abilities create huge billowing flame effects that scream, "LOOK AT ME!" Using this to distract other enemies (PvP or PvE) from your buddies is the highest calling for a Sunsinger IMO. If the Sunsinger can engage a dashing Striker or Bladedancer with one or both of their defense-buff abilities up, the situation changes. I don't know if a Singer can survive FoH at point blank range with Radiant Skin active; I tend to doubt it, but it might work (probably depend on whether the Singer is using Armor-oriented class perks or not). If you can't tell, I love Sunsingers - most stylish Guardian in the game IMO - but they have their limitations as well as strengths. Their panic buttons are weaker than other classes' panic buttons, but they can go either area denial (Solar grenades + Radiant Will + Sunbreakers) or focused DPS super (Fusion grenades + Radiant Will + Heart of Praxic Fire) and compare very well with almost any other build IMO. Also, Angel of Light FTW.
