So ive been playing Destiny for pretty much 17+hrs a day since its release on the 9th. I always like to play the tank class in every mmo esk kinda game so when i saw the defender class i knew that this was the class i wanted to play. Issue is that the defender class is probably lacking a lot of stats to make it feel like a "tank".
to give a few good examples -
1. my armor should be nowhere near a dps class, but at the moment it is about the same
2. i have no sort of aura or tank stance that allows my teammates to take less damage, my current class boils down to "i can drop a shield that i can use to mitigate selective damage while im rezzing a teammate
3. Defender titans are pretty much hilariously undermined when it comes to using our special in pvp, strikers - warlocks and certain abilities can pretty much negate the shield i drop with their own, striker and warlocks special and actually just counter mine.
4. the bonus i receive from being in a shield in pvp does not keep me alive what so ever, i cant even eat a shotgun shell when someone rushes into my bubble but the bladedancer special damage mitigation allows them to pretty much eat ~3 shells and keep going.

Being a blade dancer and having died from a titan in his bubble I can CERTIFY that you cannot die from a single shotty shell to the face, 3 hits from blade dance and the titan in his bubble is still standing, Did I mention Blade dance SHOULD be a 1 shot kill on any player exept ones counter blade dancing (Takes 2 hits) Sunny Locks in their supers (Takes 4 hits) and of course to occasional invincibility frame hits on the Striker which I guess means I should kill in 2 hits. Any way the point here is, I've yet to kill a Defender in his bubble, please refrain from saying you can't survive a Shotty Shell/Blade dance.
