To all Solbros (Sunbreakers)

[b]Note: If you take this as me trolling, then please -blam!- off. I am just tired of seeing all the QQ everywhere and people need to realize there is more than one way to play. [/b] Earlier this week the Sunbreaker got a tuning. Yes, [i]a tuning.[/i] When a Titan, I main Striker in Pvp and Defender in PvE, Sunbreaker when I felt like being lazy. If you are one of those people who say, "the entire got Subclass got nerfed this week" you are clearly a bad player. I will tell you what got nerfed: the Spam Hammer build of Forgemaster + Flameseeker + Immolation Fist/Explosive Pyre + Cauterize. If you used this build only, [i]you as a player got nerfed.[/i] The only things that did get nerfed that [b]are meaningful to the entire subclass[/b] are the damage reduction to Sunstrike and Cauterize. Now yes, Hammers as projectiles took a hit to speed, tracking, and radius, but all too often I am seeing all over the forums "Sunbreakers are dead" "Bungie killed my Titan". Frankly, I don't think you guys are realizing the full potential of the subclass. I will not talk PvE since that is a different story, but in respect to PvP Sunbreakers still have great neutral play ([u]neutral play[/u] - playing your character when their super is not active). I will below give explanations to Solbros neutral play, all of which you could see in your skill tree, to show you what you are ignoring. [b]Note II: I am not telling anyone to play any specific way. Just tell you to open your -blam!-ing eyes a bit.[/b] [i]Sunspot Build[/i] - Sunspots are areas of effect that may be created by your melee or super and progressively apply burn damage. Take this build for example: Thermal Grenade (use for area control) + Scorched Earth (Hammer creates Sunspots) + Thermal Vent (Sunstrike kills create Sunspots) + Explosive Pyre (Hammer kills cause targets to explode and chain solar burn) + Firekeeper (gain overshield and increase HoS duration when in a Sunspot) [b]Note III: Cauterize, like Fleeting Fire, states it activates on [i]kills by your fire[/i] meaning grenades, Sunstrike, or Hammers. It is not exclusive to Hammer of Sol.[/b] [i]Blaze Blitzs Build[/i] - Capitalize on passive abilities for survivability while preparing to ram through enemies. Use the following: Incendiary or Fusion Grenade (preference here) + Suncharge (press , to charge at targets and cause chain solar explosions) + Stoke the Fire (reduces Sunstrike cooldown and kills with Sunstrike instantly reduce cooldown) + Fleeting Fire (stackably increase agility and reload speed upon fire kills & boost to agility / recovery) + Cauterize (regen health upon fire kills) [b]Note IV:[/b] If you are a player who conserves their super, Simmering Flames will reduce your melee and grenade cooldown by half while your super is fully charged. [u]Final Point[/u] If you are still going to respond to this and tell me Sunbreakers are dead then please: either break your game disk or switch to the other Titan subclasses, I heard they got buffed. If you have some common sense, however, even if you don't like the subclass tuning you will realize that all that got nerfed was [b]one single playstyle[/b]. Good players will learn to adapt the Sunbreaker subclass to fit their game style. And great players will prove to you that even though their existing style gor nerfed, they can still pummel you into the ground. Thank you for reading. Hope this helps those struggling, hope the cryers break their disks, hope those still screaming "they deserved it!" shut the -blam!- up because it's over people. -[i]friendly neighborhood Thorny Guardian[/i]
