I actually think that Prismatic Titan is balanced well [u]during Transcendence[/u]… even better than Hunter and Warlock which are too hot neutrally but lackluster during Transendence… but lacks neutrally. You are punished super hard for missing an ability kill by long cooldowns on Titan thats not present on the other two classes. Titans require a hardline build focus and have a less forgiving gameplay loop.
As a Titan main though… I’ve basically come to the conclusion that it’s never been about strength (though relative strength compared to hunter and warlock is important to monitor… because that’s the pain point currently) but [b]CREATIVITY and VARIETY[/b] being so lackluster has had a cumulative effect of stagnation around the class and the current sentiment.
Prismatic strongest Titan build is basically the same play loop as solar (without the bonuses of solar)… coming on the heels of a long season with a solar focus.
Consecration is great… but the other slide melees are lackluster damage and visible utility wise. And the lack of creativity rears its head again. All the Titan abilities are color coded copies of each other… and are encouraging a playstyle in close range that is highly discouraged in endgame content through mechanics and a lack of sustainability outside of solar.
Touch of Thunder (an attempt at build diversity through grenades) got destroyed by nerfs so it doesn’t feel effective.
Banner of War, the “best Strand aspect” has zero to do with Strand…
You get the idea.

So then it is an identity crisis kind of thing? Being the "run and punch" class has lost it luster, especially in challenging content? I understand the ability cool downs just because of the potency. Again, I do not deny the effectiveness of Hunters current wombo build or the field being absolutely saturated in strand clones. There are excellent options in each classes kit I feel. I can understand how it might be quite repetitive though. I was disappointed that it was the clones that made it to prismatic on Hunter. I definitely see the "color coded copies" aspect of your assertions. I think I was just more so confused by the calls for buffs. Thank you for your insight and taking the time to write it out.

Edited by SirEman80: 8/4/2024 10:43:51 PMNo problem. Given a lot of thought to this over the last 2 expansions really. The identity has been pretty clear… but the way Bungie has creatively designed and balanced around it has been lacking. Again, consecration was the most creative melee ability loop they gave titans over the last 2 years, and they just doubled down on it for Prismatic. The problems with Titan are not new nor easily fixed…. And pretty obvious looking at their fewer number of available supers, abilities, aspects, etc. Twilight Arsenal is the first time a Titan has had three super options on a subclass (thought bubble doesn’t really do anything anymore). Exotics are lackluster in a lot of cases too… The most obvious other area that’s a pain point for me is the parcelling out of Titan focuses to weapon perks or exotics to other classes. Everybody raves about Gyrfalcons on Hunter, but it’s basically the entire Void Titan kit on one exotic that’s easier to proc than on Titan itself.
