Plus the Titans melee is seriously lacking range compared to the other two classes. Hunter has blink strike, plus a throwing knife and warlock has insane range with their melee. What do Titans get? Just a plain ole punch. Like dafuq bungie get your shizz together.

Titans have one kill shoulder charges and an over shield with perks with a melee. Plus they're pretty speedy with their 3 quick burst jump method...can outrun a hunter easily. Also you can make a Titan punch have a damaging wave effect. I love my Warlock's melee, but it doesn't have that awesome shoulder charge. It's pretty well balanced with melees for each character

Edited by Reiron523: 7/2/2015 10:25:26 AMYeah but with shoulder charge it's not like it's already charged up and ready to go anytime. You have to run first and you have to time it right otherwise it's useless. And the shield melee is only useful if you kill the enemy which requires either a shot of shotgun and melee or two melees. Other wise the shield won't come on. And the damaging wave effect isn't really effective either. It can't even kill thralls let alone a guardian. But I mean it does help a little

It doesn't take too long after you sprint before you can use the shoulder charge. It didn't take me too long either before I got the timing right shoulder charging people left and right and killing them with just one hit. I do agree that the over shield isn't as useful as the Warlock's, but it definitely saved me quit a few times. But that shoulder melee charge is devastating can be used over and over again as a one hit kill . You can YouTube where people in the top spot in an entire match just my shoulder charging...nothing else.

Yes it's a good skill to have but know that shoulder charge isn't really the "melee" of the Titans. It's storm fist and over shield(not sure if that's the word) either of these punches are what they need to be. Shoulder charge is a skill perk in the skill set. While it is strong it's not as viable as any other melee compared to the other two. Blink strike teleports you closer to the enemy to stab them, warlocks has longer reach(pretty much like 2-3 feet of you ask me) while as a Titan to actually punch them you have to be up close and personal

Edited by Dead General X: 7/2/2015 11:12:04 AMWhat I'm basically saying is that each class has its pros and cons and surprisingly well balanced. As in the case with the Titan, yeah they have a short regular melees unlike the other classes, but people that always complain about that always forget they have a rushing melee one hit no-need-for-waiting-for-melee-charging attack the other classes don't have either...basically their long range melee, and it can be devastating. People that get good with the shoulder charge are usually like, who cares, we have a one hit shoulder charge. Out of my way Warlock.

Yeah, but unlike Blink Strike, you don't have to have charge your melee for a powerful one hit kill. Warlock's don't have a one hit kill. And shoulder charge is counted as a melee strike. Titan's shoulder charge is a special continuous ability that doesn't need to wait for a charge to get a one hit kill. That alone counters their shorter distance punch in favor of a continuous one hit kill that does need to wait for a charge like the others. So yes, shoulder charge is counted as a melee in the game and melee bounties and yes, it's something the other classes simply can't match.
