Since, patch 2.0 people have been in a rage about the sunbreaker subclass. The first response is to scream "NERF" on the forums and hope it so. However, no one offers an actual solution. My idea for the nerf/tweak would be a reasonable one.
Move health to a level that would allow a one-shot headshot by high impact snipers like every other super that guardians can use while traveling (i.e. bladedance, golden gun, storm caller). This would allow for a more reasonable killing potential given that sunbreakers can regain health upon kills, if they have that perk selected.
I hope this reaches moderators and most of the community. Give me your thoughts below.
Edit 1: Thanks for all of the discussion!
Edit 2: Pushing 500 responses. Thanks everyone.
Edit 3: To those glancing at my stats and seeing my 300 Hunter: you are failing to see 'time spent within crucible.' Yes, I started TTK because I liked the look of the nightstalker. This does not mean that I don't have the ability to main all three classes.
Edit 4: To those thinking that this would cripple the class: my purposed nerf would still leave it as one of the strongest supers in the game.
Edit 5: over 600 responses! Thanks everyone!

2 RepliesWhy not have the super timer tick down faster to allow for fewer throws of the sol hammer. That seems fair
-
1 ReplyDon't blade dancers have a class perk that heals them on kills too?

1 ReplyLol it isn't op, just used it in skirmish and got headshoted by a sniper and then one burst by a pulse rifle easy to kill imo

1 ReplyWhy don't we nerf Golden gun and void walkers hell nerfs for everyone !

5 RepliesGotta say that this sounds like a bad idea. Titans are supposed to be tanky. They now have a super that makes them tanky. If you nerf it, then take the Ram away or nerf that since it makes the Warlocks tankier than the actual Tanks, while un-supered. To the Titans, keep rocking them Hammers. If you ever need a bit of support, there's still quite a few decent Hunters out there. Haopy hunting, Guardians!

Hammers are like a better golden gun 1 hammers do more damage 2 they have the best damage resitance super 3 6-7 shots so yea tekl me how thats balanced

4 RepliesI've headshot a sunbreaker titan with an icebreaker before activating my own super. Like BladeDancer, you need team work to take them down. Plus sunbreakers are thicker because they don't have [b]Blink[/b] which reduces their ability to dodge gunfire [spoiler]The only way to take down a sunbreaker to break the ice *BA DUM TSSS*[/spoiler]
-
2 RepliesThey should be headshot by high impact snipers, like the other specials. This suggestion is reasonable and I agree with it.
-
1 ReplyI agree the damage reduction is too high. Only class I can't snipe and kill. Only option is to run or waste a super on them.

4 RepliesThe only people complaining about Titans are hunters

6 RepliesYou know. A high armor build Stormcaller will ALSO survive a high inpact sniper shot...

9 Repliesmove health? XD a single person can take you down pretty quick if you're in the air you're safe from a hammer. a single shotgun blast can kill someone while sunbreaker is active a headshot can in fact one shot someone there's no nerf needed each class has a good crucible class now. Warlocks- can self revive and with the right combo can survive a shoulder charge from titans Hunters- have a one shot weapon that can hold 4 shots with a helm and also have a one shot melee Titans- only have this class it lasts what? Like 10 or 15 seconds? I used this class for a bit now if you spam hammers you can only throw 6 or 7, the hammers need to land close to kill and if you're in the air blink or a hunter's double jump can make you miss a hammer really quick and the fact there has been so many times where i throw a hammer on the ground close to a person and they don't die. You guys are just complaining because titans got the best sub class and we all know it.... Its about time titans got something thats GOOD, but also balanced. And anyone who says it's OP because there's a perk that adds tracking to it.... It doesn't even work i had it equipped for a while it barely moves the hammer medium ranges if you slightly move to left the hammer will miss lol it's useless.

2 Replieswhy am I not surprised op mains a hunter

3 RepliesI remember seeing threads like this about bladedancers a few days after the game released...
-
3 RepliesAre you sure you can't do that already? You can with bladedancer and I imagine they have the same health resistance. Maybe it's because titans have high armor
-
1 ReplyI think the only thing about the sun breakers is that their hammers have proximity. Like a hammer that's going to go clear past me in midair shouldn't explode 3 feet to my left and kill me. If they hit me, fine, but the proximity kills are too much.
-
It's funny at first I thought this thread was someone bitching about how radiance was too op. That's funny. This needs a #satire tag.

7 RepliesWhy give us a nerf? Titans kept our damn mouths shut for almost an entire year about how shitty we were at pvp. It wasn't up until the last few months we started to complain. Yet, hunters and warlocks were constantly going at it through blade dancing, self resurrecting, ram wearing, blink shotgunning bullshit. Titans are just fine how we are. Stop crying because we actually compete with you guys now in crucible.
-
1 ReplyI think they also need reduced time with the hammer (crucible only, pve is just right). This shouldn't be a thing. (That final hammer was awesome though) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5-UBX7AwhQ

It takes 3 body shots to kill that's just bs and 2 headshots
-
1 ReplyNah, we're fine. Thanks.

10 Repliesinteresting . . . us titans finally get something good in pvp, and the first thing you want to do is have it nerfed? why? is it because of our combination of strategic planning previously honed by horrible supers and melees combined with a competitive super is nearly unstoppable? yah, thought so.
-
8 RepliesYet you don't count how warlocks with ram, radiant skin, extra armor doesn't get 1 shotted from a headshot. Bullshit. Stop sucking titans
