Titan's should NOT have Blink. Here's why.

And before you start, I main a Titan. It is my favorite class. Here goes. Titans shouldn't have blink. First of all, cosmetically, it would look funny. Here goes this hulking soldier, clad in armor made from the heaviest materials, jump up in the air and poof away like he was a fairy. Yuck. Second, the Blink nerf is justified. It is abused in Crucible, and it has excellent synergy with the Felwinter type shotguns. Without a doubt, it is the best jump for PvP. However, it's only available to 2/3 classes. Leaving the Titans at a disadvantage. "So just give Titans blink! Then it's even!" No, then everyone would be blinking everywhere like they have something in their eye. It'd be hectic. In my opinion, blink should've only been exclusive to one class. Warlocks or hunters, whichever. Titans have the same jump abilities on all three classes, and catapult barely works. "But you Titans get shoulder charge so stfu and git gud" Shoulder charge is an [i]ability.[/i] Not a [i]jump.[/i] And shoulder charge isn't as useful as you think, it's balanced. It takes about 3 seconds to charge, and you have to use it within a 5 second time window or it goes away. I use it more for mobility in the air than I do killing people with it. My solution for Titans? Don't give them blink, but give them something completely different. I was hoping Titans would get some sort of militaristic dodge roll, since they are the soldiers. But that was given to the Nightstalker for hunters as Shadestep. So, maybe they can give Titans a type of omni-direction gear movement. Like so. On the Jump tree it would be as follows. "Thruster" It would work similar to regular Lift, but on the ground or in the air, double tapping X or A would cause the Titan to "thrust" in the direction of the analog. You could also thrust down, to get back on the ground faster and dodge incoming projectiles. However it does have a cool down so you won't be thrusting every where like Speed racer. These are just my ideas to give Titans a little more personality instead of slapping Blink on their skill tree cause everyone else has it. I want the Titans subclasses to have some diversity in the Jumps instead of repeats. Thoughts?

  • you use shoulder charge for mobility more then killing people? funny thats what I use blink for! they can compared because they are both a form of movement, its just shoulder charge is more useful. instead of blinking in and shot gunning someone you can just shoulder charge and skip that last step.
