Storm fist. It's the Titan's melee override. Punch your foes into ashes as you wield fistfulls of thunder.
There's a common misconception though. In the crucible, there are some people who believe that Storm Fist one-shots.
I'm here to tell you, it does not.
[b][i][u]"YES, IT DOES. IVE BEEN ONE SHOTTED BY THAT STUPID MELEE COUNTLESS TIMES."[/u][/i][/b]
No you haven't. You just think you have.
See, the thing is, Storm Fist is really, [i]really[/i] strong. It has the strongest base melee damage in the game, thanks to it's buff. It isn't strong enough to one shot, but if you've taken damage, even if it was one or two shots from an auto rifle, the punch [b][i][u]will[/u][/i][/b] kill you.
And when this happens, people always shout "[b][i][u]WHAT!? I WAS AT FULL HEALTH!!![/u][/i][/b]
When in reality, they were not. They had taken damage, but it was too miniscule to notice.
"[b][i][u]NO, YOU'RE WRONG. I KNOW FOR A FACT STORM FIST OVERLOAD-[/u][/i][/b]"
Yeah, yeah. I'm getting to that.
Storm Fist overload in [i]no way[/i] Buffs the damage. All it does is reduce the cool down and hits with storm fist can cause it to immediately reset.
It says nothing about "gaining the power to one shot a mother -blam!-er."
The only melees able to one shot under normal circumstances are A warlocks scorch while in radiance, hunters backstab, and shoulder charge.
Thanks for listening.
[spoiler]Oh, and if anyone has any video proof of someone getting one shotted at full health, I'd love to see it .[/spoiler]
Edit: So I just tried it out in rumble. It was consistently hitting at 158. Luckily there was a low armored Nightstalker and a high armored Defender Titan and I managed to punch both of them when they were at max health(this took a lot of work.)
The damage number didn't change. It was still 158. Further testing is in the works.

Upclose and personal shotgun perk 158 base 25% + = 39.5 158+ 39.5 = 197.5 damage if the round up you dead 1 hit
