ok so i started out destiny with a titan, but soon switched to hunter and haven't looked back. having recently started getting into pvp more, i felt the urge to try my titan again. i got [i]wrecked.[/i] not once but over and over. i see people doing really well in crucible with titans pretty regularly, so i know it can be done i just... don't know [i]how[/i]
to me, it seems like the titan is too slow (even the turning speed and jumping) to escape damage once you start getting hit, but doesn't have enough health to survive the damage for long enough to do anything. it feels squishier than my hunter even. too slow to avoid+too weak to weather =free kills.
the other big problem i'm finding is that the titan's melee abilities and cqc in general isn't as viable as that of the other two classes (shotguns... i'd give my left arm to never see another shotgun lmao), but they have no real ranged abilities except for hammer of sol (i prefer the other two subclasses anyway). so... not great for melee, but no real ranged option.
so i guess what i'm asking is, how do you guys play titans in pvp? how do you compensate for essentially being boned as soon as someone starts shooting at you unless you're already in cover?
edit: a lot of people are suggesting titan skating and after looking into that i agree it'd definitely help, but i more meant side to side movement, for example, to get into cover
